Ukrainian women try to make their own beauty — at home.
How to dye your hair at home and avoid failure, said hairdresser and stylist Yana Veretelnik, reports the Chronicle.info with reference to RBC-Ukraine.
Choosing a paint < br>
When buying paint, pay attention to the expiration date. And remember — the picture on the box does not always show the desired color, so you need to focus on the numbers.
«The higher the number, the lighter the color. For example: from 8 to 11 there are light shades, 7.6, 5 — dark, but 4, 3, 2, 1 — to black. Therefore, very often customers, choosing «chocolate» 4/0 are very black. Although on the packaging the color was called «light chocolate». Start with your hair color», — the specialist advises.
Owners of light or blond hair should not choose a paint with a natural blond color, a green tint may turn out.
For dark shades, make sure that the color is lighter than yours. If there is gray hair, take two packs of paint. One with «00» (this is a paint for gray hair), for example, 4/00, and the second with the necessary shade — 4/7 (chocolate).
Paint can worsen the condition of the hair if you do not guess with the color and shade of the oxidant. There is also a risk of overdoing the dye if you immediately apply it to the ends of previously dyed or bleached hair.
How to dye your hair at home
This is best done in the bathroom. Dress in something that is not a pity, buy gloves in a pharmacy that will be comfortable. Prepare some kind of bowl, except for a metal one.
«A toothbrush is not the best option for staining. Buy a professional brush that will last you for many years. You'll also need a ponytail comb», adds Veretelnik.
Step-by-Step Coloring Procedure
1. Before dyeing, you need to carefully comb your hair. After applying the paint, you can’t comb it, you can damage your hair.
2. Start at the back of your head and work your way up as this is where the coldest head temperature is, especially if it's blonde or light shades.
3. First apply paint to the roots, and then to the ends. Hold the paint for 35 minutes, if there is gray hair, then 45 minutes is possible.
«Also an important nuance. Paint doesn't lighten paint. That is, if you are dark chocolate 4/0, and you took an ash blond 10/16 and applied it, then I assure you that you will not become lighter & # 187;, & # 8212; adds a hairdresser.
How to wash off the paint
If you have stained your forehead or skin on your face with paint, take a cotton pad with peroxide and wipe it gently.
The paint should be washed off with warm water, apply the shampoo twice, first on the palm of your hand, and then rub it into the roots and lather.
Next, rinse thoroughly, wring out the hair and apply conditioner to the part that is taken in the tail. If the hair is short — then on the tips. Hold for 2-3 minutes.
After dyeing, you can blow-dry, but apply thermal protection or fluid for the ends of the hair.
