Hair dyes without ammonia. Names and palettes of professional tinting and coloring agents

Every third woman changes her image with hair dye. The usual dye with ammonia causes irreparable harm to the hair, so manufacturers have introduced non-ammonia paints that have a gentle effect. To choose a product that is suitable for a specific type of hair, it is worth analyzing the entire market of ammonia-free paints.

The difference between ammonia and non-ammonia paint

In ammonia hair dye, the coloring pigment is already applied to a bleached natural color. This is due to the fact that the main components that make up the composition are hydrogen peroxide and ammonia, which eliminates the original color of the hair.

Ammonia opens flakes, and hydrogen peroxide removes natural pigments deep in the hair. Over time, the artificial dye is washed away, and voids appear in the hairs, because of which they become thin and brittle.

Paint without ammonia works only on the surface, without delving into the structure of the hair.

In dyeing, the coloring pigment is simply superimposed on the native color, covering each hair with a thin film. With the advent of new technologies, dye manufacturers reduced the size of the molecules of the chemical composition of the products, and found a new component that is softer than ammonia reveals the scales of the hair.

Pluses of ammonia-free paint

Advantages of paints without ammonia:

1. Gentle staining. The scales do not open so sharply due to the lack of ammonia, the outer coat of hair is practically not injured. The intrinsic color does not fade, due to the reduced number of hydrogen peroxide molecules, and the coloring pigment does not fall into the deep layer.
2. Hair restoration. Manufacturers of dyes without ammonia not only reduced the number of harmful molecules, but also added useful organic compounds to the composition. Thanks to added vitamins and extracts from millet, birch, walnut shell or grape seed, the hair will be thicker and stronger. They moisturize and become more resistant to ultraviolet rays. The work of the sebaceous glands in the scalp is normalized, hair follicles are nourished.
3. Improving the natural shade. You can choose a paint to match your natural shade. After staining, the curls will become shiny and silky, and the color will be more saturated.
4. Unlimited color correction . Achieving the desired color, dye your hair again, there will be no problem. After a one-time staining, the dye will be washed off after 1.5-2 months, and it will be possible to experiment with the shade again.
5. Hypoallergenicity. Suitable for girls with sensitive scalp. The dye without ammonia does not burn and does not bake during staining, and the vitamin complexes introduced into the composition additionally look after problem skin.

Without the need for dyeing, hairdressers still do not recommend using dye, but use special products designed for hair care.

Cons of paint without ammonia

Disadvantages:

1. Poor gray hair . The dye without ammonia does not penetrate deep into the hair; pronounced gray hair cannot be painted well. Colorists recommend using ammonia-free dyes at the initial stage of graying.
2. It is quickly washed off. The main disadvantage of ammonia-free paint is its unstable effect. With each shampoo, the shade is gradually washed off, and the color fades before the manufacturer indicated a 6-week period.

   

3. Poor lightens. Dark locks can be lightened only by 2-3 tones (the exception is professional products that brighten by 8 tones).
4. They require the work of a professional . For best results, use the hand of a master, as the color may not be evenly distributed throughout the hair.
5. Price. Paints without ammonia are 2-3 times more expensive than ammonia products. At the same time, you will have to pay not only for the product, but also for the services of a master colorist.
