"Igora", tinted mousse: a palette of colors

Changing the shade of hair can dramatically change the appearance of a woman. Eyes, hair and even skin look very different after a radical change in color. Women now less and less often visit the hairdresser with the aim of dyeing. The shade mousse "Igora" allows you to carry out the procedure yourself at home. Blondes, brunettes, redheads - and how many more color nuances exist! Depending on the color type of appearance, the Igora color tint mousse color palette allows you to quickly change your image, while keeping your hair shiny and healthy.

Features of the tool

Mousse allows you to change the color of your hair two to three tones darker or one lighter. Ideal for use as a tinting agent. Its use makes hair surprisingly lively, shiny, docile.

Advantages of the Igora tint mousse over other products:

1. Universality of use - the product can be used for coloring, tinting and care at the same time. Thanks to the caring components in the composition, after the first application, the girls acquire mousse again and again. Reviews of the tool confirm that the hair looks excellent after toning, the structure becomes dense, a characteristic healthy shine appears.
2. A wide palette of shades: golden, brown and copper tones can be mixed together, as a result, new unusual shades are formed. No need to possess knowledge in professional colorization in order to achieve new interesting color nuances.
3. Easy to dose for economical consumption: if a woman has a short haircut, the product can be divided in two. Not every dye implies a similar possibility of use. Profitability is another factor in favor of choosing a mousse.
4. It is especially convenient if you need to quickly adjust the shade or refresh your hair color. Mousse can be evenly applied to the entire hair sheet independently. you don’t need a second pair of hands. If the usual cream-dyes must be evenly distributed with a brush in order to achieve the most natural shade, then there are no such problems with mousse. Shake it just enough, and then apply a thick foam on the hair, like a shampoo or balm.
5. Despite the fact that the mousse is a tint, it is quite persistent: up to 8 times washing your hair. And these are not empty promises of the manufacturer for the sake of increasing sales. Reviews of the girls indicate that the durability is really average. Of course, it is lower than that of numerous permanent coloring agents with ammonia in the composition, but the color withstands eight times shampooing with shampoo. With subsequent starts to gradually wash out and fade.
6. Up to 20% coverage of gray hair - as the manufacturer promises. Reviews indicate that the Igora shade mousse for gray hair is not very effective. Alas, most gray hairs remain unpainted. This is quite natural: only ammonia permanent dye can fully cope with pronounced gray hair.

The method of application of the tinting agent

Mousse is easy to use. If the cream-dye familiar to most women needs to be thoroughly mixed with a brush in a bowl, then evenly and carefully applied to each strand from root to tip, then there are no such problems with mousse.

It is enough to shake it, squeeze a thick foam on the palm and apply it to the hair. Hands must be protected with gloves. Mousse does not print on the skin brightly, but traces in the absence of gloves still remain.

The product is effective in various staining techniques. You can make an ombre (provided that the ends of the hair have been pre-lightened), add highlights in the style of shatushi to the hair canvas or give highlighting a platinum hue. If ordinary tinting agents can dry out the hair structure to such an extent that you have to cut or shorten the hair, then using the Schwarzkopf “Igora” tinted mousse allows you to maintain the health of the hair cuticle. Thanks to this, professional colorists opt for the product. The lack of fuss with the mixing of cream paint greatly facilitates the staining procedure.

There is another rather unusual method of application: add one or two teaspoons of mousse to a mask or balm and, after thorough mixing, apply to the hair. This method allows you to preserve the platinum or pearl shade of the blond, give the necessary brightness to copper red shades, and also to preserve the brightness of chocolate color nuances, delaying the need for another permanent staining.

A number of natural colors

These tones of the Igora tint mousse palette are natural. They can be used to tint hair with light gray hair. If the total amount of gray hair is more than 20%, then the product will not be able to effectively paint it in full:

1. Dark brown natural can be used by girls whose hair was either previously dyed in lighter shades or had not been processed with a permanent at all. If the hair is black, then the use of the shade will simply not be noticeable. Since there is no ammonia in the mousse, the product is not able to lighten very dark or black hair. The Igora tint mousse palette does not imply darker colors than dark brown natural.
2. Light brown natural is a soft chocolate shade for owners of either unpainted hair, or dyed in lighter colors.
3. Medium blond natural looks great on straight thin hair. This shade is not very suitable for short haircuts: the square and pixie look pale with it. In order to achieve a natural light brown, you should first lighten your hair if it has previously been dyed with permanent dyes. An acid wash can also be used for this purpose. This procedure is used to etch the pigment from the hair structure - after which the canvas is completely ready to absorb new color nuances.

A number of light brown tones

These shades are at the height of fashion. Depending on the tone, they can suit a woman of any color type. At the same time, the shade and well-groomed appearance of hair will give the tint mousse "Igora". Reviews indicate that light brown shades after this product work out well. They do not give yellow and look noble:

1. Medium blond golden can be used to color the entire canvas, as well as to give color nuances with the ombre techniques, highlighting, coloring, shuttle. A golden hue is undesirable for some clients, as they consider it yellow. In fact, this is moderate goldenness, which is ideally suited to the face of the girls of the spring color type and the owners of freckles.
2. Light blond sandre is a very beautiful color of the shade mousse "Igora". He is quite noble, but for all his aristocracy, he does not look artificially. If you carefully conduct the dyeing procedure in accordance with all the rules, then an inexperienced person will not even think that the hair has undergone a dyeing procedure.

Different colors of the Igora shade hair mousse can be mixed together. For example, if 7-5 medium blond golden seems overly golden, then you can mix it with sandre. In this way, the desired expression of goldenness can be achieved.

List of shades for blondes

The instruction for the Igora shade mousse warns that the product does not have the ability to lighten strands. Therefore, if applied to dark hair - no effect can be expected.

In order to reach the blonde, the hair should be preliminarily lightened with powder or cream. These funds can be purchased in departments for hairdressers. In some cases, a powder can damage the hair structure, especially if it has been diluted with an oxidant of 9% or higher. After the lightening procedure, the cuticle of the hair remains hollow. Therefore, hair is easily broken, split and damaged.

Instructions for use with the Igora toning mousse indicate that the product is ideal for toning bleached hair. The pigment instantly fills the hollow sections of the cuticle. Thanks to this, the hair becomes strong, nourished and shiny.

Features of using mousse for blondes

1. Light blond pastel beige - ideal for achieving a pearly aristocratic hue. It is optimal for tinting after clarification from the entire palette of the Igora shade mousse. Reviews of blondes indicate that the resistance is quite high - about one month, provided that you use gentle shampoo. And if you use masks with silver pigments in parallel, then the beige pastel blond pleases the hostess for about another two to three weeks.
2. Mousse shade "Igora 8-1 light blond sandre" can also be used after clarification. Its difference is that the shade is not completely transparent, but a little darker. The eighth level of depth of tone refers to light brown colors.
3. 9.5-17 - light blond sandre copper is not suitable for everyone. It is ideal for girls of the spring color type, shading the porcelain skin color and green, blue eyes. Together with a copper blond, such an appearance looks very bright and attracts the attention of others.

Golden and copper tones in the palette.

These shades are ideal for lovers to stand out from the crowd. Fiery, red, copper ... The saturation of the shade, of course, attracts attention and requires appropriate "design" - makeup, pretty catchy clothes and even appropriate behavior:

1. 8-77 - light blond copper extra - a very bright shade of red. Let the word "blond" in the name of the shade does not bother: from the blond there is only the depth of the tone level. Requires flawless skin: smooth, clean, without redness, wrinkles and pimples. Therefore, women aged and girls with easily irritated skin, such shades can not be chosen.
2. Light brown golden (5-5) is suitable for those who want to achieve a rather dark red color. It is not so bright and challenging, but it will suit office workers. The color is thick, bright, attracts attention, and therefore quite demanding. Refers to warm tones, but due to the brightness does not combine with pale skin and bright eyes.
