For modern women, there is a huge selection of hair coloring products. Of course, the effect of using paint will be much better than after a tinted shampoo or balm. What then are they generally used for? For multiple actions:
- to neutralize the yellowness of the hair (especially after the lightening procedure);
- to give a light touch to the main hair color.
In this article we will talk about Tonic tint balms, and also discuss their advantages and disadvantages.
How to choose the right balm color?
As mentioned earlier, the balm will not give the coloring effect that you can get after applying the paint. Instead, he:
- will add color;
- strengthens hair and adds shine.
Thus, if you decide to "refresh" the color, then the "Tonic" tint balms should be selected with a difference of several tones from your main one. Otherwise, you risk not getting what you expect. The palette of shades offered by this brand is quite wide, and you canfind a color for every taste. For example, for blondes, whose problem after clarification is the so-called yellowness, “Tonic” tint balm 810 (pearl ash) is perfect. It will add a cool tone that will neutralize imperfections after being dyed white.
How to use it correctly?
In fact, using the balm is not so easy. Many of the fair sex have to make several mistakes before getting the desired effect from it. The question arises: “Why is it so difficult?” But, as with hair dyes, the expected and actual effect often do not match. It should be remembered that tinting can be done in the following ways:
1. If we need maximum coloring, then the tonic can be applied directly to washed hair without diluting it.
2. If we need a light shade or we want to eliminate yellowness, then Tonic tint balms need to be diluted:
- shampoo in a ratio of approximately 70:30, where 30 is "Tonic" (mix the components and apply to the hair, wait a few minutes, then rinse);
- water (after the hair is washed with shampoo, rinse it with water mixed with balm (a few drops per liter of water).
Advantages and disadvantages of balm "Tonic"
The benefits are obvious:
- affordable value;
- easy to use;
- efficiencydyeing;
- the ability to independently adjust the color saturation;
- colour fastness.
Tonic balms, like any cosmetic product, have their drawbacks, which include:
- difficulty in calculating the proportion;
- if used too often, this product dries out the hair.
Choosing paint or tint to correct hair color is a purely individual choice. The variety of shades presented in both categories is approximately the same. You can choose both natural tones and the most extravagant ones. For example, the tint balm "Tonic" "Pink Pearl" or "Amethyst" will allow you to achieve an unusual shade of hair, give individuality and emphasize your originality.
