The desire to change is a natural thought for any woman. Often, it includes the change of hair color. But not always for this purpose a visit to the salon is made: not everyone is ready to part with an impressive amount for painting, for example, having very long hair. In this case, household or professional paints come to the rescue. And although the latter often horrify the uninitiated, they just guarantee a more predictable result than the more familiar first ones. And in order that when the phrase "professional paint" does not arise the desire to abandon all bullying over the hair, this article is offered for review.
Although one representative of the fair sex once gave an unpleasant situation when, choosing a paint in the store on the box, the woman came home, and after performing the usual ritual, she received something completely different from the result. For example, instead of golden-brown - vigorous red. Aved could have protected himself beforehand from such surprises, if you think a little.
Household dye already has certain proportions, and therefore can not be calculated for a specific case. Because of this, rainbow overflows appear, then sudden red locks, then generally black-black hair instead of frost chestnut. And still very interesting variants happen in time of clarification, when girls wait, that from blue-black for one time will receive the snow-white locks. To prevent such suddenness, it is worth reading the information below.
Before you send your stops to the shop for hairdressers, you need to get a minimum knowledge of the basics of color. In fact, the Circle of Oswald. Especially this applies to girls who want to get a cool tone on the original warm base, with what the household dye can not cope with first time. But professional - easily. Due to the fact that in addition to the main tone, it is possible to add the necessary correctors, taking into account the original database, thereby achieving the correct result.
The Oswald circle includes three basic colors and three of their derivatives: 'yellow, red, blue' and 'orange, purple, green'. This is necessary both in the selection of the paint itself and in the selection of the micro-neutralizer. And here two statements will work:
- The hue of the mixton (corrector) for neutralization is chosen clearly opposite to the unwanted pigment. That is, for yellow - purple, for orange - blue, for red - green and vice versa.
- Staining in the desired tone can be done only in the clockwise direction of the Circle, but not against it. Consequently, the golden pigment will cover red, like the last one - copper. But it will not work out the same. To do this, you need a primary pickling and subsequent toning.
Now as for the choice of the tube with the paint. Here everything is much simpler than it seems, although initially only the cipher-alphabetic marking (in some brands only digital) drives into a stupor. Moreover, when each manufacturer has a detailed name of the tone: one and so the "eight" can be both light brown, and a dark blond. A perception of the consumer is already different, although the hair will be the same.
It is worth remembering the most important thing: the number of paint consists of three-digit - one to the point and two after it. To the point - the depth of the tone, after -variation of the color nuances. Depth of tone is estimated on a ten-point scale, moving from dark to light in ascending order. So, "1" is black, and "10" is practically white blond. Each manufacturer may have different names for these numbers - someone, for example, does not have fair-haired people in principle. Moreover, this does not mean that they do not have such a tone: just in their understanding blond is a blond with a certain saturation. But if you divide the scale according to the familiar tastes, then "10" and "9" is a snow-white blond and just a light blond, "8" - "6" is light brown from light to dark, "5" - "3" brown, by analogy with fair-haired , "2" -brunet, "1", as already mentioned, pure black.
The brand may have another number "12" / "1000" / "SS" and so on. These are special tones for clarification that have their own application rules, as well as other holding times and mixing proportions with the oxygen. They are applied by decolouring more than 4 tones with 9% or 12% oxide.
If it was clear with depth of tone, then with the color nuances the situation is somewhat more complicated. Here is no longer a simple gradation from the darkness of the light, but the very Circle of Oswald. And in this case it is necessary not so much to remember the meaning of each digit, which itself will happen after a while, how many to remember the two main rules of using the Circle.
It is important to keep in mind that the intensity of the color nuance is dependent on its location after the point. The one that stands to the left will be brighter, the apravic will be the most insignificant.
The next moment - an oxygen agent , or, as it is called, an activator lotion. Of course, it is best to take the same brand as samakrem-paint. But if for example it happened that there is no small flax in the manufacturer's possession or there is no oxide with the required percentage, it is permissible to replace relatives related to it. For ammonia paint - in any other market for ammonia: absolutely exactly interchangeable Igor, Indola and Matrix. But for polupermantentnoy it is worth to ask a consultant separately: here each manufacturer does it in its own way. The percentage is selected depending on the desired result and sensitivity of the scalp:
- 3% - suitable for staining-in-tone and for very sensitive scalp. Significant gray hair, he will not open!
- 6% for changing 1-2 tone down and 1 tone up. With graying it works well. Ideal for most colors and skin conditions of the head. Assume when staining twice a week.
- 9% and 12% are applied with a significant change in color, lightening by 1-2 and 3-4 tones. 12% is not desirable with sensitive scalp, as it can leave severe burns!
So, choosing a cream-paint, an oxidizing lotion, kupivodnorazovye gloves, a bowl (not metal!), A brush and plastic clips, you can start the process of staining. And here, of course, there are also some nuances to take into account. In addition, that the hair should be dry and thoroughly washed not today, in order to have a protective fatty film, navyx, forehead, neck and behind the ears, a cream or petroleum jelly is applied. This is done with the aim of the subsequent unproblematic disposal of the unintentionally fallen skinned dye. The paint itself is diluted in a ratio of 1: 1 with the oxygenate, if not indicated, the ratio that occurs to be for a strong discoloration or an appreciable amount of a mixton. If the latter is added with a full tube, which is used in extreme colors (blue, green, red, and so on), it is necessary to add one more oxygen bottle to the tone.
If the mixton is only needed to eliminate the unwanted pigment or enhance it, it is calculated according to the " rule of the twelve": from the twelve, the figure of the depth of the tone (the first before the dot) is subtracted, and this amount of the corrector in centimeters is added to 60 ml of the dye. Naturally, The color mixture is increased in equal proportions and the amount of mixton.
- When priming, it is recommended to perform a sensitivity test at the elbow bend 48 hours before the staining procedure.
- The mixture should be homogeneous and not stand idle for a long time because of the oxidation process, which can affect the result.
- The paint is applied by brush from the roots to the tips, distributed using a comb-comb with frequent teeth.
- Collected on the head with a clamp dyed hair should not create a dense cap, for the proper course of the chemical process between them, there must be air exchange. Therefore, you need to comb them a little with your fingers, not pressing to the head.
- At the slightest discomfort in the form of burning, tingling, tingling and the like, it is worth immediately washing the mixture off the hair.
- Do not overdo the dye longer than the specified time, hoping that it will take better. This will only increase the risk of damage to the hair.
- Five minutes before the expiry of the time, it is necessary to emulsify the paint with a little water, so that it is better distributed through the hair.
- It is recommended to wash off the paint with shampooing for colored hair (and in no case for deep cleaning!), But after applying stress to hair balm from the same series. This will help preserve the color and nourish the hair.
And, of course, it is worth not forgetting the care of the colored hair, because, no matter how sparing the paint and how well the unreacted "experimental", any coloring is stress. Even if with a synergistic effect. It is not recommended to subject such a procedure hair more than twice a month, and ideally - and one. If the color is produced in cold tone, which is quickly washed away, it is permissible to tint with a seven-colorant on a low oxygenator, but again, not more than twice a month.
