Beautiful and well-groomed hair is the most important element in appearance. Modern technologies offer a variety of staining techniques. Which one is better to choose, everyone decides for himself, based on the desired result. One of the most popular options is coloring in one tone.
About the method
This color changing technique is one of the oldest, but not obsolete. Its advantage is ease of implementation and significant time savings. Hair, dyed in one color from roots to tips, focuses on her beauty. Many believe that this technique gives the hair the most natural look. Coloring in one tone makes it possible to paint over gray hair or emphasize your natural hair color, giving it greater depth and shine. This is an opportunity to radically change the tone of the hair.
What you need to know
Many ladies prefer to dye their hair in one color at home. This allows you to save money and time, perform the procedure at any time. Butthe result obtained may differ materially from expectations.
The reasons for this may be:
- if the strands have been dyed many times, then the new paint may conflict with the existing one, then the result may become unpredictable;
- you can severely damage the hair structure if you want to lighten it very much;
- if the hair has complex coloring in several colors with strongly regrown roots, it is difficult to expect that without the necessary knowledge it will be possible to achieve a uniform tone along the entire length of the hair;
- with a large percentage of gray hair, you should choose special paints, since not everyone is able to paint over it.
If staining is carried out for the first time or in a color close to the existing one, self-coloring in one tone will not bring any trouble.
Color selection
According to current trends, natural hair color is the most current choice. Therefore, shocking tones should be abandoned. To make the hair look harmonious, and not separate from its owner, it is recommended to choose a palette based on the color type. If the color of the skin and eyes is warm tones, you should not choose a cold palette for coloring hair.
If the goal of coloring is to revive your natural hair color, you should choose the closest shade of paint. It can be slightly darker or lighter, but no more than one tone.
How to dye your hair
Execution technologycoloring in one tone is simple. To dye your own hair, you must have:
- plastic bowl where paint is mixed with developer;
- latex gloves;
- special brush for applying the mixture to the strands;
- comb.
You can purchase ready-made paint boxes, which contain everything you need for the procedure.
Before the procedure, it is necessary to assess the condition of the scalp. It should not have inflammation and damage. Otherwise, coloring will need to be postponed until she is fully healed.
According to the instructions, you need to prepare the coloring mixture. If a particular paint is being used for the first time, a simple allergy test should be performed. A drop of dye is applied to the elbow from the back. You need to wait a bit until the composition is completely dry. If during this time redness does not appear on the skin, then the product can be used to dye the hair.
Using a brush, the composition is applied to the strands. First you need to carefully paint over the roots, and then the entire length to the tips. The coloring mixture should remain on the hair for the time specified in the instructions. Usually about 30 minutes. Hair before dyeing does not need to be washed. Some manufacturers recommend applying the mixture to wet hair, then you should simply wet it with water and dry it a little with a towel so that the paint does not drip from it.
After the time is up, the mixture should be washed out of the hair. If the kit contains a special balm that nourishes and strengthens the hair, theymust be used.
To evaluate the result, the hair is dried and styled with a hairdryer. If everything is done correctly, the result will not disappoint. The quality of coloring in one tone, the photo of the result of which can be seen below, often depends on the correct amount of paint. If the hair is short or just below the shoulders, then one tube is enough. If they are longer, then you will need to purchase two tubes of paint.
How to even out the color
When coloring in one tone after ombre, shatush or highlighting, it is important to choose the right color. Since these techniques involve partial lightening of the hair, in order to achieve the desired result, it may be necessary to carry out the procedure several times. The color should be chosen from a darker palette, but from the clarified part it can be washed out quite quickly, since the pigment should “accumulate”.
How to become a blonde
Almost every woman has bleached her hair at least once in her life. If the natural or existing hair color is very dark, then it is almost impossible to achieve truly white strands the first time. Coloring in one tone "blond" should be as safe as possible for the hair, as their treatment will take a long time. To lighten hair with a dark base, it is better to use the help of a professional hairdresser. If your hair has a fairly light shade, you can purchase a box of ready-to-use paint or visit a professional cosmetics store and buy the preparations separately. It is important to remember that the blonde has one drawback -yellowness. Purple pigment will help to cope with it.
Despite the fact that coloring in one tone is one of the simplest techniques, the result is largely determined by the initial state of the hair. If you need to even out the tone after complex staining techniques or you need to lighten them a lot, it is recommended to abandon self-coloring.
