Types of dyes

Girls have blue hair due to different types of dyes. Hair dyes are divided into chemical, physical and natural. The action of chemical paints is based on the oxidative reaction.

Such paints are divided into 3 groups:

• unstable;
• persistent
• semi-resistant.

The second name for persistent paints is permanent or permanent. They contain ammonia and hydrogen peroxide. These substances remove natural hair pigment, allowing the dye to penetrate into the structure of the curls. In this case, the color can change at once by several shades after the first staining.

However, these dyes cannot be called good for hair. They can ruin the curls. Resorcinol with coal tar are among the aggressive components in the composition of permanent dyes. They can cause allergies. Another disadvantage of permanent paint is that it is very difficult to wash off.

The advantages of chemical dyes are:

• careful painting of gray hair;
• duration of action;
• resistance to fading in the sun;
• to prolong the effect, we tint the roots.

Persistent dyes allow you to achieve any shade of hair, radically change the image for a long time. Only they are used to lighten or highlight curls. Most manufacturers of permanent hair dyes enrich their composition with ingredients that have a nourishing and moisturizing effect.

Vitamins, natural ingredients, UF filters are added to them. This, in turn, reduces the negative effect of the dye on the hair and spares them during dyeing.

Semi-permanent paints allow you to paint over gray strands, but sometimes not as high quality as resistant ones. They also make it possible to change the color to several tones. These dyes are less harmful to hair. They have a soft composition.

Semi-permanent paints contain a minimum amount of ammonia and hydrogen peroxide, or they are not added at all. Because of this, the color does not fully penetrate the cuticle. Such dyes will not help drastically change hair color. When choosing a semi-permanent paint, you need to take the color that differs from the original only by 1-2 tones.

Semi-permanent dyes without ammonia are recommended for loose curls. They will make them more well-groomed, give the brightest color, natural shine and well-groomed. Often they are sold complete with products designed to restore curls. These products include a special balm or conditioner.

Unstable ones slightly affect the structure of curls, unlike other chemical paints. The result of staining with an unstable dye disappears after 10-15 washing times. These light products with a toning effect help to change the natural hair color for a short time without leaving negative consequences.These products include tint shampoos, balms or masks.

Physical paints do not contain chemicals that fix the color. These dyes, unlike others, can be washed off even after the first washing procedure. They do not need to be mixed with oxide. Such paints do not penetrate into the structure of the curls and do not lead to its changes. Dyes simply envelop the hairs, while creating a tint film.

Such dyes include:

• multi-colored hair crayons;
• gels, foams and mousses;
• camouflage sprays;
• powders, carcasses.

To give the natural color of the curls a rich shade, mascaras and powders are used. Physical dyes do not harm hair. However, unlike the rest, they are not able to paint over gray areas of hair.

Natural dyes are composed of natural coloring elements. These include decoctions, plant extracts and fruits. Most often, such paints contain henna or basma. In addition to the coloring effect, natural paints have a caring, softening and smoothing effect on the curls. They make the strands look shiny and well-groomed.

The main drawback of such dyes is the difficulty in washing out. Also, after natural dyeing, artificial colors cannot be used, as the result may be unexpected.

The consistency of the colorants can be creamy, mousse and gel-like. Cream colors work best on curls. Due to their thick texture, they do not spread, evenly distributed over the strands. The only drawback of creamy coloring agents is the high consumption. You need to be more careful with gel dyes.

They spread slightly during application, and are great for coloring voluminous and thick hair. The mousse color has a light texture and is easy to apply. A similar consistency is most often the case with tint dyes. In addition to paints, dry crayons are used for staining.

They are wax pencils that look like crayons. With the help of them, curls can be painted in any color. This method of dyeing strands is often used by girls who do not want to use dyes containing chemicals.

Such crayons are not only dry. The second type is shadow crayons. This is the easiest way to color your hair than the first. Crayons-shadows do not lead to overdrying of hair, they spare the strands. The composition contains finely no substances harmful to hair.
