Hair tinting

Colorless tinting

Toning hair (before and after photos is attached) without changing the color of the strands is a relatively new technique. Otherwise, it is called “shielding.” During the procedure, the curls are processed with a colorless tinting composition that envelops each hair with a kind of film.

The procedure has some similarities with lamination and is carried out to improve
the general condition and appearance of the hair. It gives them a noble shine and extra volume, helps in the fight against naughty curls – after colorless tinting they lend themselves better to styling.

Also, coating the hair with a colorless composition helps to prolong the effect after dyeing. Due to enveloping the hair, the pigment is fixed inside it for a significantly longer period of time.

Dark hair tinting

The most popular directions in dyeing dark hair now are:

1. Ombre. A dyeing technique in which the root part of the hair is darker than at the ends with a distinct transition from one color to another.
2. Shatush. Coloring strands in this technique is similar to amber. However, the line of color transition from one to another is smooth and blurry.
3. Balayazh. This technique involves stretching the color along the entire length of the curl. With this technique, it creates the effect of additional volume and glare on the hair.
   
   
   

If the dark strands are protonated in one of these ways, then you can give the hairstyle more expressiveness and personality.

Toning blond hair

For fair-haired women, there are also many options for dyeing hair. The most popular of them is armoring . This technique involves staining some strands in a dark color. Curls become more stylish and neat.

When choosing a shade, it is important to take into account that on blond hair, any color will look slightly lighter than the sample.

Tinting red hair

The natural pigment, which gives the hair a red color, is persistent and difficult to change. With tinting, the maximum that can be achieved is to shade the natural red color to give it a greater brightness. Another option is colorless tinting. It does not harm the condition of the strands at all, but only improves their appearance.

Toning Brown Hair

A yellow shade often appears on naturally blond hair. To combat it, it is recommended to tint brown hair. To neutralize the unwanted yellowness of curls and give them an ashy shade, it is recommended that you wash your hair with shampoo 3-4 times a month.

If there is a desire to lighten the natural tone a little, tinting with semi-permanent paints is recommended.

Semi-permanent dye alone is better not to use, since only a professional can correctly choose the exposure time of the composition on the hair. The procedure for home tinting should be carried out as the tone is washed off. As a rule, on gray hair he begins to go away after about 10 days.

Hair tinting after highlighting

It is desirable that it be several tones darker than the original hair color. It is much easier for blond girls to achieve an ashy shade. It is enough for them to use shampoo or balm of the chosen shade.

Sometimes after unsuccessful dyeing, an ugly yellow hue appears on white hair. There are 2 ways to neutralize it . You can us
e a tinting composition, but the effect of its use will last a very modest period of time.

For the same purpose, it is possible to prepare a gentle coloring composition that does not harm the hair and lasts much longer on the tonic.

• Squeeze 1 small spoonful of semi-permanent ash-colored paint into a pre-prepared container (not metal).
• Add 1 large spoonful of shampoo, balm and hydrogen peroxide to the paint.
• To thin and more evenly apply, add 1 large tablespoon of water to the resulting mixture, mix the composition and apply to hair. Leave on for 10 minutes.

How to wash off a tinting agent

It is not necessary to rinse the tint from the hair. You can wait a while, and she will go off on her own for several sessions of simple washing her hair. If the resulting shade does not fit the woman at all, or the tinting began to go unevenly, you can resort to using means that can reduce the pigment in one application.

Such funds include:

• Masks for homemade hair. Fat-free kefir or one of the vegetable oils, such as olive, burdock, and sunflower, is mixed with apple juice.
• American shampoo. It is made independently. It is necessary to mix the powder for clarification and shampoo in a 1: 1 ratio, apply to clean, damp hair, and froth the product with massaging movements. The effect is checked on separate strands and washed off when the desired result is achieved.
• Flushing. You can purchase a gentle composition for removing paint and hair in a specialized store.

Hair tinting differs from ordinary dyeing by a more gentle effect, but it is difficult to understand by the result immediately after dyeing what the hair is colored with. You can verify this by looking at the photos before and after staining.
