Currently, hair tonics, reviews of which we will consider today, are called tonic shampoos. These dyes are suitable for girls who are just starting to experiment with hair color and are not ready to spoil them with chemical dyes. Such paints, unlike tonics, contain aggressive agents that corrode into the structure of the hair. As a result, the hair becomes dry and brittle.
Tonic, shampoo, balm ...
Tonic does not harm hair at all. And sometimes it even improves their condition. In this case, the change in hair color is short-lived - dyes are washed off for several weeks.
Toning shampoos contain more aggressive products that last a little longer. But they are not as durable as chemical paints.
Also on sale are tinting balms, the main purpose of which is hair treatment. Their regular use makes the hair soft and silky. The disadvantage of balms is that they are very easily washed off. Not only during shampooing, but also if you are exposed to rain.
How to use tonic?
Firstly, if you choose a shade that is completely different from yours, be prepared for the fact that the hair can acquire a completely different color. And if they are damaged, some products can give a tint of green, red, pink, orange. It is advisable to choose a color close to your natural. Or familiarize yourself with the basics of color before buying.
The tonic will change your hair color by just a few tones, but it will help you choose the color most suitable for your appearance without any harm to them.
How to use tonic correctly? After washing your hair, apply a tonic to your hair (you can dilute it with a balm to avoid drying out), and then distribute along the entire length of the hair. Rinse off and dry your hair.
Tonics are divided into several types:
1. Ammonia is present in their composition. But they harm hair much less than chemical paints. These include Tonic, Estel Professional, Irida. Hold on for about two weeks.
2. Ammonia-free tonics, the shade of which lasts up to two months - Wella, Schwarzkopf, "Kapus".
