What is Estelle balm ?
Estel Tinted Balm is a well-known Russian product that has proven itself worthy of many customers who value not only quality but also economy.
Those girls and women who have tried on themselves tinted balms, highlighted in them a lot of advantages:
- The predominant amount of natural components and, importantly, no hint of the presence of ammonia and hydrogen peroxide.
- The components of Estelle balm do not harm the hair structure, do not violate their natural softness.
- The tinted balm is convenient to use: it is evenly applied to the strands, and due to the dense consistency it does not drain and is retained on the hair exactly as much as needed.
- The product is washed off with strands easily and without residue.
- In addition to its main task, tint balms also nourish and moisturize curls.
- Using the product prevents hair tangles, and vice versa improves their combing.
- The absence of allergic manifestations on the skin.

In addition to the main list of the advantages of Estelle tinted balm, the reviews confirm that the color acquired from dyeing remains stable even after prolonged exposure to the sun or regular visits to the solarium. This was made possible thanks to the included UV-filter, which absorbs ultraviolet light and protects the strands from moisture loss and brittleness, and the color from burnout. This effect is possible if you use a tonic after staining the curls with paint. It will work as a harmless color fixer. The balm itself is not very persistent.
The composition of the tint
The composition is something that many customers first of all pay attention to, because many chemical components have a detrimental effect on the structure of the hair and can spoil them so that it takes a long complex treatment.

Apply tint balm "Estelle" customer reviews recommend a brush, not hands. Using a brush, it will be possible to evenly distribute the product through the hair, but it’s quite difficult to do it simply with your hands .

Some girls recommend in their reviews about the Estelle tinted balm to apply conditioner to the strands after washing off the tint. This will give curls even more softness.
Color variety
One of the factors for which girls appreciate Estelle tinted balms is a large selection of shades. The tool is suitable for blondes, and for brunettes, and for redheads. And you can choose different tones from light shades, dark and extravagant red.
Means for blondes
Who else but blondes has problems with hair coloring? Yellowness is a frequent consequence that arises from the use of ammonia-containing paints. But not in case of applying Estelle balm. Repeatedly convinced of this, blonde girls talk about the complete safety of the remedy for the appearance of yellowness.

Blondes who applied this color on themselves noted that their hair acquired a cold, iridescent shade, reminiscent of the color of a classic pearl. Brunettes have a dark brown and warm tone.
Balm for brunettes
For brunettes, Estelle tinted balm is something that you just need to use after staining in dark colors. And we are talking not only about additional fixing the color, but also protecting the hair from external influences, as well as from drying out.
Among the dark-haired beauties, shades such as Beaujolais, Cognac and Chocolate are more popular.
Many women who have tried many hair colors on themselves note that dark shades are deeper and almost always meet the result stated on the package.
Hiding gray hair
This is not to say that Estelle balm will completely cover large areas of grayed strands, but the remedy will relieve 100% of the first signs of gray hair.
The manufacturers of this brand even released a mini-series consisting of three tones for gray hair: "Cote d'Azur", "Vanilla clouds", "Spray of champagne."
The gentle composition of tint balms for gray hair allows the product to evenly penetrate the entire structure of the hair, as well as soften curls and give a natural shine.
Even on dark hair Estelle stains gray hair well.
Color palette: Estelle Solo Ton
The company has released a tempting variety of colors that allow you to experiment in different ways. On sale you can find 3 options for tinting products: Solo Ton, Love Nuance and Quality Color Care.

From dark colors there are a lot of positive reviews about Estelle tinted balm Cinnamon, Cognac and Pomegranate.
Love nuance
The color palette of this line is designed specifically for women who are not afraid to attract attention. These are bright, extravagant colors that will decorate any confident woman.
Reviews of the Estelle tint balm Love Nuance are still twofold. Blondes who have experienced all the charm of these tones leave negative comments: the color is too saturated than what is stated on the package, and even if you reduce the amount of the product when applied, this will not save the situation.
But the dark-haired girls, on the contrary, for the most part express admiration for this extraordinary palette and note that the tone naturally falls on dark locks, creating warm shades.
There are also tinted Estelle and Love Tone balms for gray curls. Reviews about such funds are positive from those who paint over only a few gray-haired strands, and do not try to hide large volumes of gray hair.
Quality color care
A feature of this line is its thicker consistency compared to the previous two options. Moreover, when applied to the hair, the color of the product changes its shade to a darker one. But this does not affect the final result.
“Beige” and “Red Copper” are two different, but very popular shades of the series.
Judging by the reviews, “Color Color” favorably affects the hair: makes it soft, docile when styling and shiny. In addition, a pleasant aroma from the tint balm is preserved for a short time.
Of the negative qualities of the buyer distinguish the following:
- Low resistance, the product is washed off after three to four times washing the hair.
- Regular use of a tint may cause hair loss.
- Despite the low cost, the balm is not economical. Especially for long hair can take two to three bottles per month.
- Manufacturers took care of the quality of the balm itself, but did not care about the convenience of the bottle itself.
What else do you need to know?
Before you start tinting your hair, you need to choose a tool for a tone or slightly darker than your own, otherwise you will not be able to achieve any effect.
If the tonic is used for the first time, then it is better to experiment on a separate strand of hair. Then the final result and the need for further toning will become apparent. The result that girls are counting on will depend on the number of previously performed coloring procedures. The more often a shade is used, the more saturated and more beautiful each subsequent result will be.
Some beauty industry workers claim that each season has its own hair shades. For example, for spring, all tones of light brown are best suited: from light to dark. But for the summer, the blond is a suitable shade.
For autumn, everything is predictable - fiery red, muted chestnut, eggplant or nut. Winter is a time of deep dark tones: black, dark chocolate, rich chestnut, cognac and others.
And the good thing is that thanks to Estelle balms, it is possible to carry out such experiments on the seasons without harm to your hair. And if you don’t like the result, then the tonic can be easily and quickly washed off without a trace, allowing you to try a new shade.
Conclusion
It is impossible to say with confidence that Estel shampoo is an ideal tool for changing hair color. But still, a global brand of Russian origin does not save on product quality, endowing its cosmetics with a restorative effect.
One way or another, tinted balms are very popular, and the best way to make sure of their effectiveness or, on the contrary, to be disappointed is to try it for yourself.
