The staining procedure allows you to quickly change the image. Luxurious blond curls, a burning brown-haired or extravagant redhead - with the Matrix Color Sink palette, any whim for a hairdresser client is possible. This is an ammonia-free dye that provides gentle staining. Depending on the client’s desire, using Color Sink you can make any whim: ombre, shatush, highlighting, degrade and, of course, the classic dyeing of the entire hair sheet.
Distinctive features of the dye
The main advantages of the dye:
- due to the lack of ammonia in the composition, the dye does not damage the hair structure;
- the content in the composition of the caring components provides shine and well-groomed appearance of the hair after the staining procedure;
- a variety of shades in the palette provides the opportunity to express your individuality by choosing an unusual and bright color;
- since the dye contains a special vitamin complex, the use of additional care products after the tinting procedure can be minimized;
- the palette has a transparent shade that can be used to achieve the effect of lamination at home.
The main disadvantage of the product is, again, due to the lack of ammonia in the composition, low resistance. The color fades about three weeks after dyeing, as evidenced by reviews of the Matrix Color Sink. Girls are unhappy that after only three to four weeks they have to re-use this relatively expensive dye (600 rubles per tube of cream paint).
There is also comforting news: the dye tends to accumulate in the hair (especially those components that provide the effect of lamination after application), as a result, after three or four procedures, the shade will last longer: about five to six weeks without compromising the shine and quality of the hair structure.
Which oxidizing agent to choose?
This question worries all lovers of home dyeing. Indeed, in the salon, the hairdresser himself concludes on the condition of the client’s hair.
Here are the rules for choosing an oxidizing agent for mixing with Matrix Color Sink hair dye:
- if the goal is to tint bleached strands, you should choose a special oxidizing agent from Matrix for this purpose;
- when dyeing hair a tone or two lighter than the current tone, it is optimal to opt for an oxidizer concentration of 6% or 9%;
- when dyeing or tinting tone-on-tone, the optimum concentration is 3%.
The process of staining at home
The first step is to evaluate the condition of your hair. The instruction for the "Matrix Color Sink" warns that the dye can be used as a medical dye due to the components laminating and smoothing the hair scales of the hair. Depending on the purpose of the procedure, an oxidizing agent of the desired concentration should be purchased with cream-paint.
Prepare a plastic bowl and a special hairdressing brush for applying the composition to the strands. Mix in a bowl the cream paint and oxidizing agent in equal proportions to a homogeneous consistency without lumps.
Separating the hair into thin strands, apply a mass along the entire length of the hair from roots to ends. Leave to exposure for 30-40 minutes. The use of "Matrix Color Sink" extremely rarely causes an allergic reaction. But if suddenly the girl feels an unbearable burning sensation or pain during the procedure, the coloring composition should be quickly washed off with cool water.
40 minutes after application, wash off the dye from the hair, after foaming it on the hair after applying a small amount of water. No additional care products after staining can be used. Perform your usual styling (if necessary, use a thermal protective agent to protect against high temperatures when drying with a hairdryer or straightening with tongs).
How to care for your hair after using Color Sink
After applying ammonia dye, the condition of the hair leaves much to be desired - they are dry, damaged, the tips begin to exfoliate. Reviews of the "Matrix Color Sink" indicate that the dye not only does not spoil the hair structure, but also acts on it in a healing manner. After dyeing, the hair looks better than before it. Instructions for use with the "Matrix Color Sink" suggests that a transparent shade can be used as a separate laminating agent.
Thanks to this, it makes no sense to purchase expensive dyed hair care products. It is quite enough to get a shampoo from Matrix to care for colored hair. With regular use, it will help maintain a beautiful shine and brightness of the resulting shade. If a girl regularly dries her hair with a hairdryer and uses an iron to straighten, you should purchase a thermal protective agent so that the hair does not get damaged during styling.
