- hair has not been dyed with henna and other natural dyes;
- I want to try a new shade of hair, but not completely change it.
Features of tint coloring:
- hair will change shade, but not color;
- the tone obtained as a result of using tint balms will be washed off after 3-4 shampoos;
- on dark hair, the shade may not take;
- if the hair is red, the color will turn out with red tints. The tint dye Cappuccino does not remove redness, nor does the golden tone in the hair;
- on very dark strands, the shade will be invisible.
Therefore, for a radical change in hair color, dyeing with persistent or semi-permanent chemical dyes is suitable.
Traditional methods of coloring in cappuccino color
Cappuccino hair color (photos of shades will be presented later) is difficult to reproduce with natural dyes due to the large amount of pink, beige and pearlescent pigments. Their analogues do not exist among natural ingredients, but it is possible to bring the natural color closer to this tone if the original hair color is from hazel to light brown or light brown.
- Recipe 1. For coloring, you need 2 tablespoons of coffee grounds and the same amount of strong chamomile broth. The components are mixed until smooth and applied to the hair. The mask lasts for 3 hours, after which it is washed off with warm water. On blonde hair, it gives a shade reminiscent of cappuccino.
- Recipe 2. For coloring, you need a bag of white henna and a strong brew of coffee. First, the hair is treated with white henna, then coffee grounds are applied to them, mixed with fat sour cream with the addition of 2 tablespoons of dry cocoa powder (only without milk powder). The coffee mask lasts for 3 hours, then rinses off with shampoo. The recipe is suitable for dyeing dark hair, light lightening by 1-2 tones.
