As a rule, their composition is more natural in contrast to cheap options. In addition, cheap dyes can dye your hair in the wrong shade (you can get a carrot color, with a green tint).
• Shade... You can choose the right shade based on the information on the back of the package. If a person cannot find the right tone on his own, then it is best to contact a specialist who will prompt the selection criteria or choose the right shade himself.
