As a rule, in order to partially dye their hair and acquire a new look, women often resort to highlighting. After it, the hair acquires brightness, vibrant shine and volume.
Sometimes it happens that highlighting the hair did not bring the expected effect: the colored strands sharply contrast with the natural color. In such cases, it is possible, after a few days, to tint the hair after highlighting.
What is a tinting procedure?
Using the tinting procedure, hair can be given a different shade. This method is more gentle compared to full staining. Toning is suitable for almost all women who want their hairstyle to look different every time. But this procedure will not bring the proper result to those who have gray hair.
Toned hair looks more voluminous, it shimmers and shines in bright light. And, apparently, it is no accident that most of the inhabitants of Europe prefer tinting rather than full hair coloring. Hair toning after highlighting will also help to gain a new image.
How is hair tinted after highlighting
Toning belongs to gentle methods of coloring. After the procedure, the hair acquires new shades of an existing color. During tinting, coloring agents of the same color as the hair are used, or several tones darker. Tonics do not violate the structure of the hair. They do not affect keratin, staining them only on the outside.
With each shampooing, the shade disappears gradually, so there will be no sharp difference between hair that has undergone and has not undergone dyeing.
Also, most tinting agents are enriched with vitamins and special additives that improve the structure of the hair, giving it a radiant and healthy appearance. Therefore, tinting hair after highlighting is a non-standard solution.
