Tinting agents have long entered our lives. Many articles and reviews have been written about their application. For girls who want to change their style, experimenting with a hair tone is the best option. The advantages of such funds include the fact that they do not contain ammonia and are quickly washed off. In this article, we will consider one of them - the shade shampoo "Irida" - and find out how to use it correctly.
Hue Shampoos
Such products are a great alternative to hair coloring. Their effect on hair is not as destructive as when using ammonia dyes. But there is another side to the coin. Hue shampoo can not make a brunette out of a blonde. Such products are intended solely to change the tone of the hair. For example, consider light shades. Almost any light tone of the Irida shade shampoo can be used on bleached hair: pink pearls, ashy-light, golden and others. So, after them, the hair will acquire the necessary shade. But, as with painting, and with a tinted shampoo, there are certain tricks and subtleties that you need to know.
Method of use
Of course, this is the most important information for any medium. After all, improper use can not only spoil the color of the hair, but also its structure. For each type of hair, the method of use is different, although the manufacturer is silent about this. In addition, very often tinted shampoos are also used for painting gray hair. So, given many reviews, we can conclude that there are at least 5 different ways of painting. We will consider them.
Package Contents
Shade shampoo "Irida" is sold in cardboard packaging. In it you can see three bags (sachets) of 25 ml with the product itself, gloves, as well as instructions for use. In general, one sachet is designed for one application, however, such a tinting technique is not always suitable. For light strands, sometimes only 10 ml is enough. The color of the product itself in the figure on the package may also differ from the intended result, but this should not be ignored.
As recommended by the manufacturer
So, in the instructions and on the packaging itself, you can find information about the use of the Irida shade shampoo. On well-washed and wet hair, it is necessary to apply 1 sachet of funds and distribute it along the entire length of the hair. You can use a brush to do this. That is, in fact, the procedure is similar, as with hair dyeing. It is important to note that the consistency of shampoo is more liquid than that of paint, so this method is not suitable for all girls. Doing this procedure is necessary with gloves, since the coloring composition penetrates the skin and nails, and can change the color of the manicure. The instructions say that the product must be kept on the hair for 15 to 40 minutes. But for bleached fair hair, such a procedure may have a completely different result. This method of use is suitable for girls with their natural color, for thick and dense hair. But even in this case, the composition should not withstand more than the specified time. Despite the fact that the product does not contain ammonia, you can strongly burn your hair.
Mix with hair balm or regular shampoo
Some reviews have information that the shade shampoo "Irida" dries hair. Although there is no ammonia in it, anyway, coloring pigments have a negative effect on curls. And if for owners of oily hair - this is not a problem, then for those who have dry hair by nature - this is a real disaster. But in this case there is a way out. The product can be mixed in a 1: 1 ratio with balm, conditioner or your shampoo. This will solve several problems at once:
- After toning, the hair will not be dry.
- The tool will always be at your fingertips, and you can use it when necessary.
- There is no need to choose a proportion for yourself each time.
As mentioned earlier, for each hair, the method of use can be different and the proportions, respectively. On thin, bleached curls, funds are required much less than on thick and natural ones.
Proportions for coloring dark and fair hair
So, if you have dark curls, then more funds will be required. An ideal option would be 1 sachet for medium-length hair in one use. If the shade turns out to be too saturated, then you can reduce the proportion. With blond hair, choosing the right tone is more difficult, since the color is taken almost instantly. Hue shampoo “Irida”, the palette of which is represented by more than 31 shades, should be applied gradually to bleached hair. So, for starters, dilute the right amount of balm (shampoo, conditioner) with one drop of the product. Apply the composition on a curl, foam and rinse. Dry your hair and look at the result, if the shade is not visible, then the amount of shampoo should be increased. In such a simple way, you can choose for yourself the necessary proportion.
Dilute in water
This is another use that is suitable for blondes. So, the shade shampoo “Irida”, (palette of light shades), must be diluted in a bowl with warm water. After washing the curls with ordinary shampoo, they must be dipped in a container with the product and held for about 15 minutes. It is important that all hair is covered with water. So, the tint shampoo is evenly distributed on the surface of the hair and the shade will be very soft.
Getting rid of red color
When lightening hair, it is often possible to observe the appearance of various ugly shades. Red leads among them. Considering the location of the shades in the color wheel, it becomes clear where it comes from. So, paint pigments, entering into an undesirable reaction with the color of curls, form a red color. You can get rid of it with the help of shade shampoo "Irida". The purple pigment present in most light shades (platinum, silver, pearl) will hide the ugly red. Of course, this will not completely remove the unwanted color, and the procedure will need to be repeated every 2-3 days. The manufacturer recommends to get rid of a red tint, add the product to your shampoo in a 3: 1 ratio. Thus, every time you wash your curls, the red color will go away. It is worth remembering that only high-quality painting with a good composition can completely remove an unpleasant shade.
Color palette
As mentioned earlier, shade shampoo includes about 31 shades. Of course, some of them are more popular, and they can be found in any store. Other colors, girls use less often, and it is more difficult to find them.
One of the most popular is the shade shampoo "Irida Chocolate". It is perfect for brown-haired women who want to change their image and transform. This tool will not only give a beautiful chocolate shade, but also shine. Hue shampoo "Irida", reviews of which we are considering, will suit both girls with natural color and colored. In the second case, the tool will help maintain a bright shade. Using a tint shampoo, the dye on the hair will last long enough. With regrown roots, this remedy can also help. If there is no time to go to your master, but you want to look presentable, then a tinted shampoo can come in handy.
“Irida. Pink pearl ”is another popular tone among owners of blonde curls. It gives a delicate pinkish tint, shimmers in the sun and looks very expensive. It is best to use such a tone, diluting it in a bowl of water (as described above). In addition to a beautiful shade, there is also a chic shine. Such a tinting agent is recommended to be used every 2-3 days.
The shade of shampoo "Irida" light brown color can darken a little blond blonde. If you want your curls to have a cold blond shade, then this color must be used. It is advisable that before that the hair be dyed in a uniform color. That is, such a tone is not suitable for highlighted hair. On lightened strands, it will look slightly "dirty."
Hue Shampoo “Irida. Silver "is most often used specifically for tinting red strands. It is important that there is no sharp transition between colors. In this case, the silver tone will be taken differently in each area, and it will look very messy.
Reviews about the tool
In general, we can say that if Irida shade shampoo is used according to the instructions, the result is pretty good. A huge advantage of this tool is that it is quickly washed off. For those who like to experiment with hair, this is the best option. Of the shortcomings, many girls distinguish precisely that the product is packaged in a sachet. So, if you do not use all the packaging at once, then it can spread. For example, the tonic balm “Tonic” is packaged like a regular shampoo, which simplifies its use. Some girls in their reviews share secrets: you can pour all 3 sachets at once into any container from under shampoo, mask or balm. In this case, the use of the product is more convenient and economical. Another option is to breed a tinted shampoo with balm or conditioner.
In addition, it is not recommended to use a tonic immediately after dyeing hair with dye or henna. So, pigments can mix and give an unpredictable result. If after using the Irida shade shampoo, which we are reviewing, you didn’t get what you wanted, you should rinse your hair well several times with ordinary shampoo. In a few days the whole shade will go away.
Also, as before using any cosmetic product, it is recommended to conduct a sensitivity test to make sure that the tinted shampoo does not cause an allergic reaction. The test should be carried out on the elbow joint and wait a few hours after washing off.
There are also negative reviews about the shade shampoo “Irida”. Not on all curls, the tool behaves predictably. Sometimes girls get completely unexpected shades. But it is worth noting that no one is safe from such a result. Even coloring formulations with ammonia can give a red and green tint. In general, it all depends not so much on the structure of the hair, but on what it was painted before.
