Monochromatic hair dyeing (or dyeing in one color) is, at first glance, a fairly simple procedure. However, as practice shows, not everything is as it seems. What are the secrets and nuances you need to know about one-color staining, edited WANTU.ua.ua.
The main nuances of hair coloring
Before you decide to radically change the image, know that getting the perfect blond shade is hard enough. This is a very difficult technological job, even for a professional. Therefore, this procedure of blonding in any beauty salon is significantly more expensive than the classical procedure of dyeing. And, of course, it takes more time. Pay attention to the following points before making a decision to change the image - to repaint in blonde.
First of all, select a professional who can realize your dream of becoming a blonde. Before going to a beauty salon to change the image, it is necessary to study fashion magazines and find photos of the shade of hair that you would like. Since the perception of color nuances is different for everyone, it is necessary to show the photo to the master. Blond color has several shades. Some of them are warm, others are cold. Choose a shade that is right for you, help a professional. Also do not forget that any hair color with different types of lighting look different.
The choice of brightening products is very diverse, and it is important not to get lost in it. All dyes are divided into three groups: permanent (ammonia), semi-permanent (without ammonia) and direct acting dyes (they are ready for use and do not mix with the oxidizing agent).
If the natural color of your hair is from light blonde to dark blonde, then I recommend using a permanent dye, a series of “special blond”. These are shades in the palette of professional dyes, which are intended only to lighten the natural base. If you have very thin hair, then a series that contains the minimum amount of ammonia will suit you and will carefully lighten your hair up to 5 tones, giving it the desired shade.
To maintain the shade of blond in the intervals between lightening procedures it is necessary to carry out the procedure of toning. For toning - maintaining a shade mainly use gentle dyes. The procedure of toning is completely harmless to the hair, you can repeat it every two to three weeks. Thus, you can maintain the shade and quality of your hair in excellent condition.
If the natural color of your hair is from dark brown to black, then I recommend using products with a higher degree of clarification, such as powder. Powder will provide maximum comfort during dyeing and minimize discomfort - you will not feel any burning sensation on the scalp. The composition is mixed with only two types of oxide 3% and 6%, which guarantees even more gentle lightening and comfort of the scalp. Achieve maximum brightening up to 7 tones.
If you are determined to change the color of hair and are not afraid of all the above difficulties, then trust a professional and get a new look.

We have just got used to the coloring of ombre, as stylists propose to try something new - sombre. What it is and how it differs from its popular predecessor, we understand on WANT. Coloring "sombre" is very similar to "ombre" - this is the same transition from a darker shade at the roots to a lighter one at the ends of the hair, but not so sharp and contrasting. The transition is very soft and almost invisible. Hence the name "sombre" (the first letter of the English word soft).
Hair dyeing in one color: what's so complicated? It would seem that you just need to buy paint, mix, put on your hair - and voila, beautiful color is ready. However, even with monochromatic staining, problems often arise, and the result does not please the eye. Most often among such effects: the roots are much lighter than the length, the ends become almost black when dyed in dark colors, the color falls unevenly. To avoid such unpleasant moments, follow simple rules.
Never buy paint that is lighter than the color of your hair.
This rule applies, of course, to hair that has already been dyed. If you apply a little lighter color to dyed hair (for example, if you want to add some shade), a picture will come out when the hair length and roots are different. Namely, the length will acquire only a shade, and the roots - a bright color. It looks ugly.
If you want to shade hair, choose paint of the same color, but with the desired shade. That is, if you want to give a little autumn color chestnut color, choose a chestnut with an admixture of gold, not just gold.
Paint does not lighten paint

This rule manufacturers of paints must be written in large letters on the packaging of their products. Sometimes girls who want to change their hair color to a lighter one, apply light dye to their dark hair. As a result - light roots and a dirty shade along the length. Remember, the paint does not lighten the paint, and the colors that are indicated as a result of dyeing are obtained only on previously unpainted hair.
If you want to dye your hair a lighter color, you first need to wash the existing dye from the hair with a special tool, and only then proceed to toning in the desired color.
A bit of dark color
Often, girls who have been dyed in dark tones with household dyes (colors from a regular store) for a long time notice that their length becomes virtually black (even if the shade and color do not change). The result is a picture: chestnut roots and actually black hair length. This story is due to the accumulation of dye in the hair and the constant dyeing length of 6% oxide (this is the standard percentage of oxide for non-professional paints of dark shades). While painting in the cabin, the master will tint the length by only 1.5%.

If you use ordinary hair dyes, then proceed as follows: paint the roots, and 10 minutes before washing off the paint, apply the residue to the length, before mixing them with your favorite hair mask in a ratio of 1: 1. Thus, you will update the color, and not provoke its accumulation.
Paint selection
Just as the theater begins with a hanger, so the staining procedure begins with the choice of paint. When choosing a coloring matter should be guided by the following rule - the coloring composition should cause minimal harm healthy structure of your hair. Of course, absolute harmlessness cannot be avoided, because, nevertheless, paint is nothing more than a powerful chemical compound. But to minimize the negative impact, after all, it is possible. For this, preference should be given to coloring compositions without ammonia with the addition of such oils as:
- Olive oil,
- Argan oil,
- Jojoba oil.
Of course, such paints are not cheap, but you can never save on your health and beauty!
Can I be beautiful during menstruation
It's no secret that during menstruation a woman’s body occurs the most powerful hormonal changesthat affect skin pigmentation. Since the composition of the coloring matter directly affects melanin (a substance in the human body that is responsible for the color of skin and hair), which with hormonal fluctuations can “behave” completely unexpectedly, you can get far from the color that you wanted. For example, having painted your face in black, there is a high probability to get blue or purple curls.
Also during menstruation, women are subject to changes throughout the body:
- in the circulatory system
- in metabolism
- in thermoregulation.
All these changes may affect the future result of painting. It all depends on the lack of blood supply to the head (the blood concentrates, for the most part, in the pelvic region). Because of this, the scalp becomes colder, and the coloring matter does not warm up enough. This in turn can also give a negative effect.
Is it possible to dye hair during breastfeeding
Just as during menstruation, in the period of lactation in the body of women there are strong hormonal fluctuations and changes. It is important to note that painting during lactation can ruin the hair structure, but the painting procedure itself is not dangerous for the health of the mother and baby. The chemical composition of the coloring matter can not get into the blood and, consequently, into the milk, which the young mother feeds her child.
But the effect of stabbing during lactation may be the same. disappointingas during menstruation. Young mothers on the road to beauty may be trapped for the following adversities:
- Hair can not completely dye,
- The paint can "lie down" stained, instead of a uniformly expected beautiful color,
- The condition of the scalp may worsen,
- After painting, the hair becomes more brittle, weak and prone to loss.
Is it possible to dye hair after keratin straightening
Let's see what is keratin hair straightening. Keratin straightening is a straightening procedure that has a healing effect on the hair and restores its damaged structure. Getting into the empty spaces of the hair, keratin fills them, and under the influence of high temperature coagulates and turns into a protective layer. Therefore, the scalp becomes thicker, softer and silky.
Therefore, if you dye immediately after the keratinization procedure, the coloring composition can simply not take. It is necessary to wait 2 weeks with painting. If you do not wait and paint before the deadline, then the color will be ineffective to hold on to the keratin protective barrier, which is obtained after the rectifying procedure.
How often can you be painted?
Ammonia paint
If you are dealing with a persistent cream paint that contains ammonia, then you should be painted once a month and a half. Since, if you carry out painting more often, you can very badly ruin your hair. They will become brittle, dry and lifeless.
Paint without ammonia
Coloring substance without ammonia is a more benign remedy unlike the first type. Since there is no such potent chemical substance as ammonia, it can be painted more often: once every two or three weeks.
Gray hair coloring
Since gray hairs are deprived of pigmentation and become looser, brittle and dull, preference should be given to ammonia dye compounds that will retain color much longer than their "ammonia-free counterparts." Paints without ammonia are quickly washed away from gray hair, therefore, it is more productive and more rational to get dyes with ammonia by dyeing gray roots.
What is needed for coloring?
- Hair dye,
- Special small brush brush,
- Food film,
- Warm cap
- Bowl in which the coloring composition will be diluted
