Hair tinting
Hair tinting is a procedure for dyeing with light tint products, and not with persistent dyes. The attractiveness of this method for women is understandable: you can try different shades before a radical change in hair color.
Advantages and disadvantages of toning
Reviews of hair tinting are usually positive, there are practically no significant drawbacks to the procedure.
Of the advantages, the following points can be noted:
- Slight damage to the hair structure in comparison with staining with permanent dyes;
- Easy rinsing of tint products, ideal for women who like to experiment with hair color;
- The absence of a clearly visible border between the colored part of the hair and the roots;
- Additional strengthening and nutrition due to various vitamin supplements, which are contained in some toning formulations;
- Giving rich color and shine to hair.
The disadvantages of the procedure include:
- Possible allergic reaction to the components of the coloring agent;
- The need for regular toning of hair to maintain color, since the dye is quickly and easily washed out;
- The ability to change the shade by only 2-3 tones, that is, a radical change in hair color is impossible.
Toning blonde hair
To give a beautiful fashionable sheen to light hair, it is not necessary to use chemical dyes or peroxide. Hair tinting, according to the fair sex, makes them stronger, more voluminous and gives them a glossy shine. Therefore, the main thing is to correctly determine the shade (cold or warm) and choose a suitable coloring agent.
For blondes with honey, reddish and golden hair, honey, caramel and sunny tones are suitable. It is these foundations that refresh the face and make it look younger.
The effect of burnt hair can be achieved by toning with light shades, which looks especially beautiful on long curls.
Cool hair (like smoky and ashy) can be revived with platinum, pearl, wheat and silver tones.
In addition, toning your hair allows you to experiment with red and copper shades. This is especially true for fair-haired and dark blondes, since tonal means contain a rich palette of all tones of red and red.
Dark hair toning
For those with dark hair, there are several color options, one of which is to use only one shade. Purple, reddish and dark brown tones are suitable for girls with dark blonde or brown hair. Copper tint paints look great on light brown hair.
Another way of toning dark hair involves using several shades at once. To do this, you should first lighten (highlight) individual curls. If you want to add darker strands to your own color, you can do without highlighting. An experienced master can easily select 2-3 tones close to natural shades, due to which the natural hair color acquires several harmonious highlights. You can tint both wide and thin strands, which will create a more elegant play of shades.
When toning dark hair, it is important to take into account their structure and original color, since it is these parameters that determine how the paint will lie. Tones that are close to natural color look best. It is also worth noting that it will not work to make dark hair lighter with the help of toning paints. First, you need to lighten the hair and only after that carry out toning.
Hair tinting after highlighting
When highlighting (lightening), the natural pigment of the hair is destroyed, which leads to weakness, dryness and thinning. However, this condition can be dealt with. Professional hairdressers recommend toning your hair after highlighting.
Keratin, which is part of the tint products, strengthens damaged curls and slightly smoothes the negative effect of lightening. Protein and wax give your hair amazing shine and smoothness. That is, toning hair after highlighting helps not only to change and correct the color, but is also an excellent caring procedure.
Another reason why coloring with tonal means is shown is the appearance of an ugly yellowness after using brightening powders. You can carry out the procedure not only in a hairdressing salon, but also at home. For this, special shampoos and hair rinses are used, which are recommended to be used at least several times a week.
Hair tinting at home
For toning hair at home, you need to choose a high-quality and not the cheapest dye composition. The procedure itself is carried out as follows:
- Study the attached instructions and test for an allergic reaction by dropping a microdose of the product on the skin of the wrist or behind the ear;
- Wear an apron and disposable gloves to keep out paint. You can prevent unwanted staining of the neck, forehead and ears by applying a greasy cream to the indicated places;
- Pour a small amount into the palm of your hand and distribute evenly over the entire length of the hair or individual strands that are planned to be shaded;
- Comb your hair thoroughly after applying all the paint and massage your head lightly;
- Withstand the time indicated on the package;
- Wash off the tinting agent with water without using shampoo.
Hair tinting is a simple, relatively inexpensive and effective procedure that helps you get amazing results even at home.
