Everyone strives to make their appearance the most attractive. Someone spends a lot of money to change it through plastic surgery, someone masks flaws with cosmetics.
Mostly, the female half of the population is more inclined to dissatisfaction with their appearance and the desire to change something.
Since ancient times, women have used amazing, and sometimes even dangerous household items in order to acquire a perfect appearance. They lined their eyes with charcoal, dyed their hair and eyelashes with antimony, made powder from rice, etc.
In the modern world, any cosmetics is available to absolutely everyone.
However, it is worth noting that hair remains the main guarantee of attractiveness. Therefore, it is their women who regularly improve through various procedures and cosmetics, change their color, shape and haircuts.
There are situations in which you want to change your hairstyle or shade of hair for a short period, see how this or that color looks, or just change without exposing your hair to the harmful effects of hair dyes.
In this case, tinted shampoos and balms can come to the rescue. Marketoffers a wide selection of similar products from different manufacturers, and the palette of hair tonics is the most diverse.
What hair tonics are for
Tonic is a tint balm, mousse or shampoo that creates a temporary color film on the hair that does not penetrate into the depths of the hair. The palette of hair tonics is very rich and allows you to create color masterpieces.
Tonic can be used for various purposes. For example, if you need to significantly change the appearance for a photo shoot or any event.
Secondly, the tonic can be used to tint regrown roots, in cases where it is not possible to visit a hairdresser in the near future, or natural hair is growing.
For dyed blondes, a hair tonic will help to cope with the yellowness that appears, making the hair untidy. Also, tint balms successfully cope with gray hair. And unlike paint, tonics are less harmful and do not damage the hair.
What to look for when choosing a hair tonic
According to the legislation of some countries, certification and standardization in the manufacture of such products is not required. In this regard, in some tint products, made, for example, in Turkey, potassium and sodium are used quite often and in large quantities. They can penetrate the body through the hair and settle in it, and a large content of them in the body can lead to various diseases.
The best and highest quality tint tonics, according to hairdressers, are made inEurope. Due to high quality standards, s alts and heavy chemicals are not used there, and various natural extracts, essential oils and natural ingredients are added that have a beneficial effect on hair and take care of them.
It is required to pay attention to the Ph indicators of the tinting substance. His performance should be 5, 5-6. It is also worth being able to distinguish between magnesium laureth sulfate and sodium lauryl sulfate. The former will revitalize the hair and make it beautiful, while the latter can harm the hairstyle.
According to statistics, expensive professional products bring more effect. This does not mean that inexpensive domestic tonics are of poor quality, the main thing is to always study the composition of the purchased product.
The hair tonic is washed off in several shampoos. To speed up the process, you can use a deep cleaning shampoo or folk remedies.

You can often hear about coloring hair tonics ordered from China through online auctions. Despite the inspiring photos and the uniqueness of the colors, color palette combinations on the site, it is not recommended to trust unverified manufacturers.
Ways to use hair tonics
Unlike ammonia-based hair dye, tonics are easier and more convenient to use. The method of application is usually indicated on the product packaging. However, it is often similar to other similar dyes. It is required to pre-test the reaction by applying a small amount of tonic to the skin, and preferably on a small strand. This will allow not only to know the reaction of the skin, but also to determine in advance what time and amount are needed to obtain the required depth and brightness of staining. If during the day there was no allergic reaction, then the balm can be used in the future. It is required to apply tonic to clean and damp hair, evenly distribute with a comb with rare teeth and leave for a while. Then rinse with water until it becomes clear. It is better to study the palette of tinted hair tonic in advance and choose the appropriate option.
Attention! Most hair tonics quickly stain surrounding objects. In connection withthis requires the use of gloves. It is also advisable to apply the balm carefully, since it is sometimes very difficult to wash surfaces from such dyes.
Also, when using a hair tonic, you need to take into account the laws of color and hairdressing chemistry, otherwise a dyed blonde, having applied a black tonic, instead of a burning brunette, may well turn out to be a green-haired little mermaid.
It's also worth remembering that applying hair tonics to natural dyes like basma, henna and antimony can also reward the beautiful consumer with a rather unpredictable hair color.
Arguments for and against
Thus, drawing conclusions, we can say that hair tonics are a more gentle means for coloring, in cases where you do not want radical changes. Tonics are less harmful and are a product that envelops the hair without penetrating into its structure.
With the help of tint balms, you can achieve various bold color combinations, make color highlights and surprise others.
However, do not forget that hair tonics also have their effects, causing dry hair, split ends.
The second disadvantage of tinted shampoos is that they are not always washed off evenly, and therefore you have to either endure rinsing with stains or re-color.
However, given that there are undoubtedly more pluses, it remains only to recall thatthat everything is good in moderation.
