In order to freshen up the color, it is not necessary to resort to a procedure as tough for the hair as coloring. Whatever cutting-edge hair-dyes are - these are chemicals that ruthlessly penetrate into their structure. An alternative means for toning hair is tint balsam.
Types of tint
The most popular, at least, on everyone's lips, is balm. Its composition is enhanced by the components responsible for the softness and obedience of the hair. It rarely contains UV filters, moisturizing agents. Its structure is thick, not allowing to flow when stained. According to the degree of intensity, the balms are the most “long-playing”.
In second place are shampoos. Their basis is more liquid, since the purpose of this product is standard cleansing, plus color toning. Use occurs in the washing process. Since this procedure is non-durable, the staining resistance will be average. Hair coloring shampoos rarely contain caring ingredients.
The last step of the pedestal is occupied, if not strangely very popular, by mousses and foams for coloring hair. This is not about staining. Tinting mousses have the lightest structure, enriched, at best, with oils. Such a lightweight version has an appropriate lifetime - you have to make the coloring weekly.
Staining principle
Unlike persistent, tint coloration is not intended for long-lasting results, therefore its composition is significantly different. The absence of ammonia, hydrogen peroxide and other aggressive reagents makes it possible not to affect the deep layers of the hair, that is, not to fall under the scales. This does not make the staining faded or non-transfusing at all. Additional glowing pigments compensate for this part. Shading means, getting on hair, clasp it, forming a film.
The principle of coloring is based on the composition and durability. In order to form the above mentioned film, you just need to apply the composition to the hair in accordance with the instructions. The longer it will be on the hair, the darker the color will turn out, since the coloring matter is still of chemical origin. Mousses and balms are recommended to leave on the hair up to 40 minutes. Shampoos - wash off for 7 minutes. After using the tint, do not use alkaline shampoos, as they quickly wash away the formed film, reducing the durability of the paint as a whole. Suffer one day, change your pillow to an old pillowcase for the night. Thereby you will allow paint to be fixed on hair.
Do tinted balms spoil hair?
It is impossible to give an unequivocal answer to this question. On the one hand, the hair was not exposed to a deep chemical attack. On the other hand, components such as propylene glycol, cetrimonium chloride, amodimethicone, polyacrylamide, copolymer, polysorbate-20, dimethiconol, cyclopentasiloxane, benzyl alcohol, methylisothiazolinone, linalool, benzyl salicylate, citronellole, glyane, glycetiazole, zinc, nitrate, benzyl salicylate, citronellol, mern, thiol thiazolinone, linalool, benzyl salicylate, citronellol, mer, glycotol, nitroxycarbamide, nitroxychloride Some of them can significantly dry hair, cause a condition called "split ends". But, this will happen only if tonal balms are used very often, more than twice a month. In a normal lifestyle, washing the head 3 - 4 times a week, this will be quite enough. Therefore, talking about the benefits or harm is possible only in each case.
The advantages of tint over hair dyes
• Ability to use on damaged hair.
• Adjusts the main color, adds shine.
• No labor applied at home.
• The cost is much lower than the resistant counterparts.
• Allows you to experiment with a shade, because in case of unsuccessful staining, quickly washed off.
Disadvantages of tint tools
• The need for frequent use.
• Paints bedding, clothes on the first day after use.
Naturally, all these pros and cons are quite exaggerated. But, as they say, there would be a choice, and the woman will make it, and then redo it and redo it again. This is what balm is good for.
Every hunter wants to know ...
So, what manufacturers offer tint balms? The most famous since high school, as if taken out of a grandmother's chest, is the tonic balsam “Tonic” of the company “RoKolor”. Yes - yes, the same one (no, not with an elephant, but in a green bottle, although today it can be more often seen in an azure-blue version). The palette of tonic balsam "Tonica" is very wide. Here you can see all the shades and colors, even for those who want to radically change their hair color. (Here the author of the article publishes a nervous laugh, recalling how in grade 8 he tested a shade of 6.65, called the manufacturer Indian Summer). Indeed, the line of colors is quite unique. Lovers of all bright colors will be pleasantly surprised by shades of the third row, especially 3.1 “Wild Plum” and 3.13 “Malachite”. It remains only to remove this article away from the eyes of daughters or younger nieces.
But seriously, the tonic balsam tonic has not only screaming teenage shades, but also quite decent ones that can be used by noble girls for publishing, such as 4.0 “Chocolate”, 5.35 “Red Amber”, 8.10 “Pearl -ashen". The latter, by the way, is very often used by both professionals and amateurs to neutralize the “perhydrol” blond and color correction. (The author, again, was flooded with pleasant memories). When using for the first time, do not be surprised to open the bottle with the last mentioned shade and find a caracatically-ink color instead of a pearl. Just keep in mind - it should be. Every hunter should know where the Pheasant is sitting, the fact is that the violet hue well neutralizes the yellowness, which then successfully turns into the desired pearl ash.
Reviews on the tonic balm "Tonica", for the most part, are positive. However, there is one caveat - in the root zone a tint balm does not always work successfully. When applied simultaneously, the color of the main part of the hair and roots will differ by a shade of two, so it makes sense to apply the composition first on the roots, then on the entire length.
Last a moment, you're beautiful!
Following the “RoColor” tint balsam, the teltel tint balsam, not less well-known in narrow circles, historically fell into the hands of the author of the article. In general, it is worth to single out this brand as a separate line, because, according to the author, it is one of the most acceptable mastodons on the market today - manufacturers of professional cosmetics for hair coloring. According to the manufacturer, ESTEL Professional has become one of the strongest brands and the absolute leader in the production of professional hair cosmetics in Russia and the CIS countries, one of the largest suppliers to Europe with its own office.social representation ESTEL Europe. Being well acquainted with the products of this company and trusting its mermaid curls only to her, the author of the article will certainly agree with such a stilted statement. However, it is worth noting that the products are manufactured in St. Petersburg, and outside of Russia, in the EU countries, it is little known, to be honest, you will not find her there in the afternoon with fire. For example, the author, living in Denmark and experiencing an acute need for staining, was severely disappointed, not finding her favorite manufacturer on the shelves of professional cosmetics stores. Therefore, dear readers, enjoy and appreciate what you have, all good things have an unpleasant property of quickly ending.
So, directly about the product itself. Estelle ottenochny balm is not less classical product in the market of the painting means. The palette “Estelle”, unlike “Tonika”, has calmer and more mundane tones. In this regard, the balm, of course, loses to its competitor (now adolescent seekers unanimously expressed their “Fi” and, without reading this further, with a confident gait and with a predatory grin, went in search of “RoColor”). Yes, Estelle Tint Balsam is still more suitable for their older sisters. Well, or moms. Well, or grandmothers, because in the Estelle lineup there are shades that perfectly filter the gray hair, turning your beloved granny, for example, into the noble “Silver blonde” (shade 10.1). Works with a bang. The only thing we don’t forget about the roots, as in the case with the tonic balm "Tonic".
Cherche la femme
In the literal sense, “refresh” the color of your hair is also possible with the tint balm Concept Fresh up. All you need for this is a lot of free time and about 300 rubles. The product is sold exclusively at the point of sale of professional cosmetics, and then not everywhere. Here you and Shershe la femme. The manufacturer emphasizes that tint balsam does not contain ammonia and aggressive chemical compounds, therefore it provides hair with soft toning. The balm contains a unique caring complex of natural ingredients based on lecithin, beeswax and linseed oil.
The author does not like to splurge, therefore, he honestly admits that he has not tried this “concept” and fully relies on the opinion of users published on the web in this matter. Product reviews say that the balm is not inferior to resistant paint in intensity and durability. Therefore, you will not regret the time lost in search of Concept's tint balm.
Luxury
No less popular with world-renowned women of fashion is the Color Lux, a tinting balm from the manufacturer Belita-Vitex. The palette of tinted balsam "Belita" will pleasantly surprise the owners of natural, bleached and gray hair. From readers' reviews published on the forums, the advantages of this product can be considered: rich color, gentle effect on hair, affordable price, lasting toning, a large palette of colors, and even a pleasant smell. However, few still admitted that the balm "dries hair." In addition, the balm must be washed away from the hair for a long time, while the coloring composition is printed, literally, on a towel during the drying process. Although, this was to be expected, since by nature, tint balm is not a durable paint. His effect in this regard is more like the effect of a tinted lip balm - beautiful, fashionable, refreshing appearance, but, unlike persistent lipstick, it gets dirty and leaves traces.
Finish line
Reviews - this is certainly an iron argument, though always controversial. Tastes differ, as they say overseas. Although the average man is always aware that the truth is somewhere near. In general, dear readers, think for yourself - decide for yourself whether you have in your arsenal an improvised remedy, such as tint balm or not.
Features of hair tonic
The characteristic features of hair tonics are as follows:
- With the help of tonic it is impossible to lighten dark and black strands,
- tonics do not destroy the hair structure,
- the action of tonics is gentle and light,
- the ability to quickly correct unsuccessful staining - the acquired color is naturally washed off in two weeks, to speed up this process, you can use special cosmetics to "wash" the staining,
- the dyes that make up the tonics remain on the surface of the curls, without getting deep into their structure,
- staining with tonic does not lead to drying, thinning of the strands, after such staining the curls do not become dull and brittle,
- After dyeing with tonic, you do not need to buy special cosmetics - dyed strands do not require special care.
Coloring with tonic is a covering of curls with a thin film of tinting pigment. This film does not affect the health and structure of the hair.
Disadvantages of hair tonics
Tonics have their "cons". With the help of this cosmetic it is impossible to achieve a radical change in color - only a light shade is obtained. Tonics do not solve the problem of gray hair - as practice shows, they paint over gray strands of only 30-40 percent. With the help of tonic, gray hair is well “masked” on the roots.
After each shampooing, the coloring color fades. Also tonics can smudge clothes and bedding.
Toning does not help a brunette or brown-haired woman to become a bright blonde.

What tonic is different from the classic hair dye?
Classic paint is a way to drastically change your image. With it, you can change one color to another, achieve different shades of strands, paint over gray hair. After washing the head, the paint is not washed off and does not tarnish. It gives a steady effect. Only after some time can it lose a bit of saturation.
Coloring pigments of paints penetrate deep into the hair structure, which is not very beneficial for the health of curls. That is why cosmetologists do not recommend to abuse paints: they can spoil the curls.
The benefits of tonic staining
The main advantages of hair tonics can be described in the following paragraphs:
- the absence of ammonia in the composition (if ammonia is included in the composition of the tonic - as a rule, these are tonic with a persistent effect, then only in an insignificant amount),
- the ability to change the color of the hair depending on the mood,
- solving the split ends problem
- excellent aesthetic effect of use - radiant and healthy strands,
- moisturizing effect
- sparing effect.
The main advantage of the balm with a color shade is that it works only on the surface hair layer (in the cuticle). It does not fall into the core (cortex) of the hair and does not brighten the natural pigment. Due to the gradual flushing of color shades, there are no sharp transitions and borders.
Cons tint balms
Dyeing hair tint balm has its drawbacks. For example, with this staining, a woman is forbidden to visit the swimming pool without a special protective cap. Girls can not fall under the rain and snow. This tool does not have a lasting effect, the acquired color quickly "comes off."
Should I use crayons to dye hair in bright colors?
To give your hair a bright and unusual color, you can use special crayons. They allow you to quickly paint the strands, for example, in blue or pink. Crayons allow you to safely, quickly and easily change your image, making your image more vivid.
Colored crayons are good because they do not affect the health and hair structure. They are non-toxic, for one or two soaping easily washed off with shampoo. The technology of painting with crayons is so elementary that even small children can cope with coloring.
Beauticians warn: despite all the advantages of crayons, they should not be used oftenso as not to get dry hair. After each use of crayons, it is necessary to make a homemade nutritional mask to strengthen the strands.
What “atypical” colors for coloring look really bright and unusual?
Today bright monochrome colors are in fashion - steel, cold tones of violet and pink. At the peak of popularity are all rich colors. Of the "atypical" colors are considered fashionable today:
- Orange,
- emerald,
- bright yellow (down to poisonous),
- ruby red, blood red,
- burgundy,
- mustard.
According to stylists, to look unusual and shocking, today it is not necessary to be painted in one color. For example, using eclipting technology, using several shades you can get a monochrome volumetric color.
"Unusual" colors allow you to select even the most ordinary haircut (straight loose hair, "bob", "square").

Dear BESTIYA! If ammonia, hydrogen peroxide, and water-insoluble silicones are not included in the tinting balms, then such agents do not damage the hair cuticle (dyes simply cover the hair shaft with a thin breathable film). For example, professional tint conditioners Lazartigue, not only do not spoil the hair, but also positioned as a therapeutic makeup for hair. Hair is very beautiful shine, become elastic and obedient. These conditioners are washed off after 6-8 shampoos. Filled with up to 30% gray hair. Try it - the effect is wonderful. And no damage to the hair! :-)))))

I want to dye my hair with Estelle's tinting professional dye a tone that is darker. Its color is light brown with an ashy tone. the hairdresser advised to take the weakest oxidizer (1.5%) and keep no more than 20 minutes. Under these conditions, will my natural color be damaged, will it not get an extraneous shade after the paint is washed off? or better not to risk it.
