Bezmiamachnaya paint for hair: especially staining at home

Bezammiachnaya paint (ammonia free) refers to the category of oxidizing dyes of long-acting. It is believed that it is not as harmful to hair as ordinary paint, so its popularity is growing every year. Among professionals there are polar opinions about the advantages or disadvantages of using bezammia paint. In this article, we will try to figure out how justified some of them are and whether the bezammia paint differs from its ammonium analogue.

The principle of the action of bezammia dyes

Many bezammia paints instead of ammonia contain its synthetic organic derivative - ethanolamine. In fact, it is the same ammonia, but devoid of its main drawback - a sharp odor. The fact is that ammonia molecules are much smaller than ethanolamine molecules, which increases the degree of their volatility. This is the reason for the active separation of ammonia vapors that can irritate the respiratory tract and eye mucosa.

In general, the chemical reaction that occurs due to the oxidation of ammonia is no different from the chemical processes that occur in the bezammia composition. And the degree of damage to the hair will depend solely on the pH of the dye.

Bezammiachnaya paint: advantages and disadvantages

The biggest plus of bezammia paint is hypoallergenicity. The absence of unpleasant odor and burning sensation makes it an ideal option for allergy sufferers and women with high scalp sensitivity. In addition, many well-known brands, positioning their products as harmless, add vitamin-free dyes to vitamin complexes and natural plant extracts, which restore hair from the inside and give them a healthy appearance.

Among the main drawbacks of such dyes is the paler palette, which is paler in comparison with ammonium analogues. Despite constant work on new shades, the color range of ammonia paint of the same brand still remains more extensive.

In addition, not all bezammiachnye hair colors cope with camouflage gray hair. And this is their huge minus, since more than half of women turn to a hairdresser-colorist only after the appearance of the first gray hair. Poor coloring is associated with the peculiarities of exposure to bezammia dyes, which do not penetrate deep into the cortex, but envelop the natural pigment of the hair. For the same reason, the color after washing free of ammonia is quickly washed away. Do not use the paint ammonia free and burning brunettes who dream of becoming platinum blondes, so the range of its lightening is only 2-3 tones.

Features of coloring bezammiachnoy paint in the home

The sequence of work with bezammiachnaya paint is slightly different from the procedure for staining with a conventional dye. If, in the case of ammonium paints, prewashing the head is not necessary, then the bezammia dye on dirty hair will not work. Therefore it is better to apply it on fresh dry or washed wet curls.

Staining stages:

1. Before staining, you should wash your head with an ordinary or deep-cleansing shampoo. Then apply a protective agent (serum, balsam) on the curls along the entire length. It is better to use all means from one series and one manufacturer, so that the result of staining does not become an unpleasant surprise.
2. Then it is necessary to mix the dye and oxidant according to the manufacturer's instructions. Be sure to do this with gloves.

3. Apply the paint in the usual way to wet or dry hair.

4. The aging time of the coloring composition is usually indicated on the package and rarely exceeds 40-45 minutes.

5. With the help of warm water (not more than 37º C) and shampoo with acidic pH, remove the dye composition, then apply a balm for colored hair.

   Attention! Be sure to use a shampoo with a low pH, since it stops the slow oxidative processes inside the hair, which will avoid breaking their structure in the future.

6. Dry your hair with a hair dryer, make a styling and enjoy beautiful and healthy hair!
