We choose the paint.
Stylists rarely advise to radically change the color of hair. Usually it is best to look at the shade of hair that is closest to the natural. It is better combined with complexion and eyebrows. If you want to change the hair color to the opposite of what you have now, then remember that the procedure will be long, especially if you want to turn from a brunette to a blonde. In addition, this transformation is not always successful, and in addition to coloring the hair will have to attend to the coloring of the eyebrows.
Do not forget that the colors differ not only in color, but also in effect. Persistent paints can well paint over gray hair and almost any shade of hair. But such paints negatively affect hair, especially their permanent impact is harmful.
If you want to get a fairly long effect, but at the same time keep your hair healthy, use a medium-color paint. She keeps the color until 6 weeks. If your hair is greatly weakened, then only the most sparing paints or shading shampoos will do.
In order to radically change the color of hair, especially from dark to light, multistage staining is required. First you will discolor your hair and then apply the paint with the desired shade. The procedure may need to be repeated and more than once, so that the color is natural.
In order to choose the right shade, consult a hairdresser or consultants in the store. They will help you to imagine how this or that color will look exactly on your hair, because the shade on the box and the shade that you get can be significantly different.
Before painting with new paint, which you did not use before, it is necessary to conduct a special test, which will help to eliminate allergies. Remember, the higher the ammonia content in the paint, the higher the likelihood of irritation on the skin. One day before staining, apply a little paint on the scalp where it will not be noticeable. If you are afraid - you can try the paint on the inside of the hand. In the event that burning, redness and other unusual sensations are not, paint can be used safely.
Staining procedure.
Before painting, you do not need to wash your head or wet it. It is enough to carefully comb the strands. Prepare a brush, comb, gloves. Then mix the paint components according to the instructions. For mixing, either a factory tube or ceramic or glassware is suitable. Avoid mixing paint components in iron or enameled containers, as the paint can oxidize and change color.
If you are worried that you will not be able to dye your hair without staining your ears and forehead, smear dangerous places with a regular baby cream or petroleum jelly, then any paint will be washed off in two counts. Divide the hair into strands, width 5 - 7 cm. Begin painting with temples, forehead, then go to the back of the head. It is important to color the roots of hair, so pay as much attention as possible. Then carefully distribute the paint along the entire length of the hair and comb the strands once more. After that, you can stab hair and leave for 30-40 minutes. It is important not to overstraight the paint.
Rinse off the paint abundantly, with warm water, until the water stops staining. After the procedure, you need to take a balm and mask. A restorative mask will help reduce the negative effect of paint on the hair, and a special balm will make the color more saturated.
The procedure of staining should be repeated every 3 to 5 weeks, depending on the speed of hair growth. If you want to achieve a more complex color, then without experience, you should not try to color your hair yourself. It is better to ask experienced friends or go to the salon, where the master correctly mixes and selects colors. Do not forget to care for the hair between the stains, make sure that they are not brittle and dry.
You can change without the help of a hairdresser. When you have enough experience, you can use several tones for coloring. But if the experience is unsuccessful, the results can be corrected only in the salon. That's why some girls prefer not to take risks. If you are confident in your abilities - then act.
