Every girl needs a change. In a certain period of time, you want something new and unusual. Hair is exactly the part of the body that is most often subject to various experiments: curls are aligned, straight ones are twisted, black curls are lightened, and blond ones are painted in all the colors of the rainbow. Everything would be fine if experiments with hair did not spoil them. Is it possible, without causing tremendous damage to the hair, to experiment and look stunning? Yes, you certainly may. It is coloring hair balms that can easily change the shade of curls, while maintaining their he alth. They do not spoil or burn the hair, while giving them deep and rich shades.
Such a wide variety
Of course, the beauty industry does not stand still, and every year the choice of hair coloring products becomes more and more. Each product differs in purpose, composition, quality, price andapplication.
In this article we will not consider hair dyes, because everyone knows that the ammonia contained in them spoils the structure of curls. In turn, let's talk about harmless cosmetics, such as coloring hair balms. Among the various products in this category you can find: tonics, balms, mask balms and tinted shampoos. These funds can be safely called analogues. They do not penetrate deep into the hair and stain it only superficially. Due to this, the effect does not last too long (about a week).
We all know that after dyeing hair with paint, they deteriorate, but it’s more likely that something else upsets: on many curls, after a week or two, the color becomes not so saturated, especially for dark shades. Light tones, in turn, can give an unpleasant reddish color, especially in the root area. Sometimes you have to wait a few weeks for the yellowness to go away. A tint balm will help to cope with this problem. Dyed hair should be rinsed with a balm of the same shade as the paint was, at least once a week. This method will help to maintain a deep rich hair color for a long time.
How to apply tint balms
In order to use these products, you must arm yourself with latex or polyethylene gloves, an application brush, a tonic container, a comb and a towel. In contrast to the application of paint, coloring balms are used only on clean and most often wethair, immediately after shampooing. Gloves are essential to keep your hands clean. Despite the fact that the balms do not contain harmful substances, some pigments can be very strongly eaten into the skin of the hands.
As a rule, each package has instructions for using the product, but this method of coloring may not be suitable for everyone, especially for the Rocolor tonic of light shades. The tool itself has a dark purple color, and its excess on the hair can turn you into Malvina. If we talk about dark shades, then everything is simple here: the balm is applied along the entire length of clean, damp hair, distributed with a comb and washed off after 10-15 minutes. The time depends on the expected effect. The longer the product stays on the hair, the more intense the shade will be.
Blonde and bleached hair needs a lot more attention. First of all, it should be taken into account that it is not recommended to use a tonic immediately after a perm and lightening. This is due to the fact that due to the action of harmful substances, for example, an oxidizing agent, which affects the surface of the hair not quite evenly, even the best balm for colored hair can “take on stains” or give a completely unexpected color. It is necessary to take into account the fact that the tonic affects the entire surface of the curls. If the hair is colored unevenly, then the coloring balm will be taken more intensively on some strands, and less on others. Sometimes such an effect can "play into the hands", and even the most experienced hairdresser will not guess how the ombre coloring turned out.
Tonic from "Rocolor" - the most populartinted balm
This tool is familiar to many firsthand. Most often, "Tonic" is used in order to remove the yellow color from the roots after clarification. In addition, a wide range of products allows you to dye in any of the shades (from bright saturated to warm natural colors). The huge disadvantage of this tool is that for bleached curls it is very difficult to choose its amount so that the hair does not turn purple. If the color of the curls is dark, then as a rule, there are no problems and the product can be applied in any volume, the more it is, the richer the shade will turn out. Much depends on the exposure time of the tonic on the curls.
Tonic little tricks
Some girls are experimenting with dark and bright shades of this remedy, and the results are stunning. With a little experimentation, you can get any hair color: red, yellow, orange, pink, dark blue and even green. For example, in order to get a bright red shade of hair, you can mix in equal proportions "Tonic" No. 5.54 "Mahogany" and No. 6.54 "Mahogany". If you apply Smoky Topaz No. 9.10 tonic on fair hair and quickly rinse, you can get only a slightly pinkish tint.
"Tonic" and blonde curls
With bleached hair, you need to do otherwise: you can dilute a couple of drops of the product in a bowl of water and pour the solution on your hair until you get the desired shade (you get a kind of balm rinse fordyed hair). This option is used to tone bleached hair (for example, from golden wheat to pearl ash).
If it is necessary to remove the roots that have turned yellow after lightening, then it is recommended to use a different method: a few drops of the product are mixed with a regular hair balm until the desired shade is obtained. You should not drip too much Tonic, so as not to overdo it. If the resulting tint balm does not protonate dyed hair, then you can try adding a few more drops to the resulting mixture and apply it to your hair again. It is very important to apply most of the product precisely to those areas where it is necessary to remove the yellowness. The ends of the hair can be lightly smeared with the resulting balm and quickly washed off. Please note that the base balm itself, with which the tonic will be mixed, should be great for frequent use and not spoil the hair.
Estelle Brand

This product is used immediately after shampooing. The method of applying the tint balm must be done exactly according to the instructions (leave on the hair for about 20 minutes).
An interesting fact is thatthese products for blond hair have practically no nuances: applied, held and washed off. But with dark shades, on the contrary, there are some wisdom. In some cases, the tonic gives the roots of the hair a pink tint that is very difficult to wash off. In order to avoid this situation, it is necessary to do trial staining. Take a strand of hair from below and apply the product along the entire length, pack it in cellophane or foil, after 20 minutes the product must be washed off. If the resulting shade suits you, you can safely tint all the strands. The composition of the product contains a certain amount of vitamins and minerals that nourish the hair and give it volume.
