Dark hair is undoubtedly the most beautiful element of the image. But some girls, alas, are bored, and the soul begins to demand change. The easiest option to satisfy your beauty impulses is to repaint in a different color. But, as you know, it is not so easy to get out of the dark, so most often women decide to lighten. This can be done using various means, and one of them is the product "Garnier" E0. What is it and how to use it? We'll figure out.
Paint or brightener?
In the modern beauty industry, it is customary to believe that using ordinary light hair dye is impossible to lighten dark strands. Some say that there will be no reaction at all (that there is an error), others believe that the result will be insignificant and not very aesthetic (which is true). But at the same time, most women are afraid of the words "brightening powder", "supra" and their other synonyms and for good reason.
These drugs greatly spoil the hair, of course, brightening them. Moreover, the bleaching result turns out to be uneven, you have to very painstakingly tint, level the color, then lighten again ...
Therefore, the brand "Garnier", which has already managed to gain the confidence of the fair sex, decided to create something between paint and supra. Bleaching powder and tinting cream paint were placed in one package. Today we are all familiar with this product under his name "Garnier E0" - this is a dye that allows you to greatly lighten your hair and give it a natural shade.
What's inside?
To begin with, it is worth noting that the decorator "Garnier E0" is on sale in the form of one of the shades of the line called Color Naturals. Its packaging is standard, it depicts a girl with hair color, which should turn out as a result of dyeing, and the basic characteristics of this product are written.
Both outside and inside, the paint is practically no different from all the other representatives of this cosmetic line. There is the pigment itself in the form of a cream in a dense tube, developer milk in a standard bottle and balm for further care.
But what else is worth noting is the presence of two sachets with powder clarifier, which, in fact, play a key role in the nature of this beauty product. In fact, this is a standard supra powder that simply whitens hair. But in combination with cream paint, its functionality is slightly transformed, and changes its properties.
Why is the shade of E0 needed?
As already noted above, for some girls, such a moment as a dark hair color becomes unbearable for various reasons. In such cases, they begin to look for the most simple, budgetary and at the same time sparing options for getting out of this shade. One of the solutions is Garnier Color E0. The thing is that brightening powder in combination with a creamy texture of the paint does not work too destructively.
Of course, the hair, as with any other type of bleaching, deteriorates a little, but not to the extent that it happens after using ordinary supra. In addition, the dye at the same time tones the curls, that is, partially smooths out the effect of yellowness. The result is more or less natural, and the quality of the hair is preserved as much as possible.
We pass to application
Well, we figured out the basic functions of the hair dye "Garnier E0", and now we move on to the instructions for its use. This is nothing complicated, the process of mixing the ingredients and applying the dye to the hair is identical to all those that we do for other shades of this product. So, in a non-metallic bowl, you need to mix the powder from two sachets, the contents of the tube with cream paint and the contents of the jar with developer milk. Stir until the mass becomes homogeneous and looks like thick sour cream. Everything, the composition is ready for application.
Most often, women use the standard method of dyeing hair. That is, the head is divided into four equal parts and each strand is alternately stained with a brush. But it is worth remembering that this is not ordinary paint and not a tonic, but a decorator. Therefore, it is tedious to develop a special approach to it.
Little trick
Uneven lightening of the hair sheet is the biggest problem that almost all women who get rid of dark pigment face. But what if, in any case, the strand that was dyed first is lightened more strongly than the one that was last treated? Is it really possible to “irrigate” all hair at once with a clarifier? Yes, it is possible, and it is absolutely not difficult to do this. You will not need additional hands or outside help, moreover, thanks to this method, you can also maintain more healthy hair.
So, for starters, we dilute the contents of the “Garnier E0” pack in a bowl, and then add a little shampoo there - about a third of the volume of the mixture obtained. Then you should rinse your hair with water, pat it dry with a towel so that water does not flow from them and literally soap them with foamed paint in shampoo. All this, as a result, is stabbed and held for half an hour, as stated in the instructions. The trick is that in just 2 minutes you will distribute the clarifier at the same time to all the curls, moreover, the shampoo will smooth out its destructive functions and at the same time clean its head. Then we wash everything off, treat the hair with a mask and enjoy the result.
Features of an exit from a black tone
Most often, "Garnier Color Neutrals E0" is acquired when they want to get rid of the dark tone of hair. In order for the procedure to go smoothly, it is worth considering several rules. The first is that before staining for two months you should not tint the roots, as you did before. You should endure and grow your own color a little, otherwise there will be problems with lightening. Put "Garnier E0" on the roots is not worth it, if all your hair is dark.
The fact is that they lighten much faster than the main hair sheet, and then you will have to get rid of the uneven color for a very long time. Therefore, we have not touched a couple of centimeters over two months, and we are beginning to apply dye to those curls that are painted in dark colors. If you want to get to the platinum blonde, then begin to lighten the roots when the length becomes half a ton lighter than the roots.
Not without red
No matter how flattering the reviews about the “Garnier E0”, and no matter how “magic” the manufacturers described it, the paint does not make it possible at one time to completely say goodbye to dark curls and become a platinum blonde. Like any other brightening agent, it must be used in stages. You can do this both at a time, that is, you made up - washed off, and so 2, 3 or more times, and stretching the procedure for days or weeks (which is more acceptable for the hair - they manage to recover at least a little).
When parting with dark coloring pigments, the hair will in any case become "rusty". The hue may be slightly smoothed out due to the presence of dye in this product, but platinum or silver should not be expected. If you want to get out of black and become a brown-haired woman, then you should apply Garnier E0 two or three times (photo of the result below), then neutralize this yellowness with the help of a violet tonic, and only after that choose the color of the paint that you want to wear in further, and toned by it.
Features of staining the roots
In fact, in painting the roots in any color, there is nothing problematic, and many girls do it themselves at home. But in the case of Garnier E0 paint, it is worth taking care of certain nuances in advance. The fact is that this pigment cannot fully cope with yellowness, and further tinting is required.
Therefore, after you apply the product to the overgrown roots, wash it off and dry the hair, apply violet tinting paint or shampoo tonic on top. Doing this over and over again, your entire hair will acquire a pleasant platinum hue, and yellowness will no longer be an urgent problem for you.
Fashionable dyeing techniques
If you have long dreamed of such tinting as a rooftop or balayazh, and do not dare to do this, then a simple, affordable and very effective beauty product "Garnier E0" can come to the rescue. Reviews of this tool, among other things, indicate that with its help you can easily and quickly lighten part of the hair or some curls. In some cases, additional tinting may be required, but in most cases this is not necessary at all.
Is all that is needed is to simply paint over individual strands with this dye? Yes exactly. Due to its unique formula that combines supra and cream-paint, the product quickly and gently brightens strands, and at the same time creates the effect of light translucent tinting. You can strengthen it with tint balms or tinting paints, or you can leave it as it is.
How to make a shuttle?
If you are not familiar with the technique of cranking or balayazh, be sure to study all the nuances of applying dyes. When you do the manipulations with the help of a lightening beauty product from Garnier, the type of application remains the same. First of all, it is worth making a thick pile. We note that the more you comb your hair, the more noble and natural the result will be. After that, we apply the dye to the strands one at a time, starting from the ends, and as if brushing off the paint, we advance to the roots, but do not touch them.
Pay special attention to the curls that frame the face - they should be as light as possible. The occipital part is painted only partially, for the most part remains dark. After keeping the hair on the hair for half an hour, wash it off with shampoo and evaluate the results.
Who is it for?
The cream paint that is part of this product creates the effect of only light tinting. It partially drowns out the yellowness, but does not completely cope with it. As a result, against the background of dark hair, almost copper locks are obtained, which sparkle and shimmer with all shades of gold and copper. A similar effect will look great on representatives of the autumn type. Also, if the skin has a warm shade, is strongly tanned or there are freckles, this option can be advantageous. In such cases, you do not need tinting, but you can enhance the effect of copper using an appropriate tinting agent.
Who will not do it?
The copper and gold palette will definitely look ridiculous against the background of cold color. In such cases, after applying the "Garnier E0" decorator, the reviews recommend using purple tinted shampoo or balm. This will maximally neutralize the warm shade that will turn out, and in the future you can give your hair the color of platinum with the help of another paint - tinting.
We note that this procedure will no longer be detrimental to the hair, but rather will help restore them after bleaching. As a part of tinting means there is no ammonia, they are filled with oils and keratin, which cares for the hair and gives it shine.
User opinions
Most reviews of Garnier E0 paint indicate that this beauty product is very high quality and effective. It relatively discolors hair gently, does not dry it very much, and practically does not burn (provided that it is reasonably dosed). At the same time, the dye slightly tones the strands, as a result, the color is not like that of a chicken, but simply golden, warm and saturated.
Using the product is easy - when mixed, it acquires a viscous and thick texture, therefore it does not flow, does not drip, but is easily distributed along the hair. Separately, the low price of this product is noted - about 150 rubles, which is quite affordable, especially considering such a high-quality and effective effect on the hair.
We must not lose sight of those disadvantages that are inherent in the dye "Garnier E0". Reviews with photos are proof that in some cases the paint brightens the hair unevenly. Spots, transitions are formed, the tips can remain darker, in comparison with the main hair sheet. Also, cream-paint does not always do well with the task of tinting - in some cases (especially when painting overgrown dark roots), yellowness appears. However, regarding all these points, we have already studied strategies and tricks, and now we hope that using this beauty product will only delight you.
Conclusion
Whatever women do with their hair, the beauty industry will, over and over again, develop new tools to cater to all wishes. I am glad that not only expensive, effective, but at the same time inaccessible cosmetics are on sale, but also quite budget options that are affordable for most women. With their help, you can easily transform, and at the same time also maintain the health of your hair. If you correctly use the decolourant "Garnier E0", you can very quickly say goodbye to dark hair color, tint overgrown roots or make an interesting effect on curls using one of the complex dyeing techniques.
