Hair coloring is currently very popular. Some for this purpose use paints with ammonia, while others, fearing to harm their hair, use more gentle means, such as balms, tonics, foams, shampoos and even sprays. The latter, by the way, is a real find for lazy people, since they only apply to hair and do not require rinsing.
Any woman can make hair tinting at home, it does not require any special skills. Under tinting is understood the procedure of hair coloring, in which preparations containing no ammonia are used as a coloring agent. Therefore, the hair is subject to less negative impact, as is usually the case with the use of persistent hair colors. There are two types of tinting: intense and gentle. For intensive toning, ammonia-free products are used, which include only oxidizing substances that allow you to maintain color on the hair for up to 2 months. Gentle toning, the name speaks for itself, gives a less lasting result, so the color is washed off after 2 weeks and needs to be updated.
Before toning hair at home, you need to determine the color. For those who do tinting for the first time, it is best to choose a gentle type, while the color should differ from the natural one only by one tone. It’s not always possible to choose the color that is ideal for a particular image, so it’s better to select it gradually, each time increasing the tone by one position. You should pay attention to the fact that you need to choose a tone based on your natural. So, it is undesirable for blondes to be tinted black, otherwise it will not work out using the same balms, tonics or sprays to lighten up in light colors . Owners of black hair will not be able to use tinting at all, since the coloring matter simply does not appear. The very first home hair tinting needs to be done in such a way that the resulting tone can be easily corrected if it does not fit. That's why it is recommended to dye your hair at first, in one, well, or two, tones. Toning will not save those who have gray hair.
Many people mistakenly believe that it is better to do hair tinting at home than to use dyes with ammonia and hydrogen peroxide for dyeing them. They argue that such a procedure does not harm the hair, but rather strengthens it. Here's how to say it. If we compare the most popular means for toning - balms, foams, shampoos and tonics - with paints, which include ammonia, then, undoubtedly, the first will be more useful and gentle. But this does not mean that they are completely harmless. Still, after all, but they consist of chemicals. On the other hand, the use of tinting agents is more than justified: they really strengthen the hair, make it softer, give shine.
For those who don’t know how to do hair tinting at home, there’s a little reminder. You need to put on gloves on your hands, squeeze a small amount of the coloring matter on your palm and apply it on your hair with massaging movements. After applying all means, comb the hair well. The exposure time depends on the particular type of dye. After the procedure, rinse the mixture with water using shampoo. To prevent hair tinting at home from staining clothes and skin, you need to put an old towel on your shoulders and grease the skin around the hair with cream. Sometimes it happens that a tinting agent causes a burning sensation and redness of the skin (an allergic reaction). In this case, it is better to stop painting and rinse off the applied mixture.
