The ability to change your appearance, experiment, eliminate imperfections, add a twist to the image - these are the main advantages for which the fair sex is so fond of ordinary and professional hair colors. Photos of hairdressing experiments confirm this: due to color changes, you can radically change and even visually “throw off” several years.
Today, shelves of hair products stores are literally littered with cosmetics for dyeing, so it is sometimes difficult for customers to decide which product to prefer - ordinary or professional. Recently, however, more and more women are inclined to choose the last type of paint. In no small measure, such a step is influenced by the qualities possessed by professional paints, rating and positive reviews about these products.
The difference between professional paint and regular
The principle of action is the main difference between professional cosmetics for dyeing hair from ordinary. It is quite difficult to choose such a paint without certain knowledge and skills, mix and apply - only a master stylist can do this. That is why such products are called professional.
Almost every packaging lacks the color image of professional hair dyes. This is due to the fact that the manufacturer does not guarantee the same result on strands of different colors, textures and types. To achieve the desired result, the hairdresser uses only his skills in the field of dyeing. Each end case is individual, but at the same time guaranteed.
Another difference between professional colorizing cosmetics is their high durability and the absence of an oxidizing agent in the kit. Means for home use are equipped with the most suitable oxidizing agent for all options, the strength of which is at least 12%. When applying a professional product, the master focuses on your type of hair, for which, perhaps, even a concentration of 9% may be too heavy. For example, Loreal professional hair dye is considered safer than regular dye of the same brand.
Proper selection of both a coloring agent and an oxidizing agent will help direct consultation in a beauty salon or from a qualified seller of this cosmetics.
The benefits of professional paint
Despite the fact that such means as easy accessibility, low price and ease of use speak in favor of conventional products, special cosmetics have advantages over them:
- The colors of professional hair dyes are more accurate.
- Shades can be mixed both among themselves, and refreshed by the addition of special means - the so-called mixtons.
- The color palette is extensive.
- Professional paints are sold exclusively in specialized departments, at distributors or in beauty salons, which guarantees the quality of the product.
- The staining process is complicated only for those who do not know the nuances of mixing and applying the product.
- Minimal hair injury due to individual selection of the required amount and concentration of an oxidizing agent, even for individual sections on the same head.
- If an error occurs, the color can be eliminated using a special “wash”.
