In the hairdressing environment, the term "pickling" is used. It is understood as a special procedure and product intended for the care of hair that has undergone unsuccessful dyeing. It is able to remove the coloring pigment from the hair, returning it natural color.

Most often, pickling is used when a woman is dissatisfied with the result of staining. Especially if the hair has been dyed enough dark color... If the lady wants to change the shade of the hair, making it a few tones lighter, a wash is also needed. Sometimes decapitation is practiced in order to completely get rid of the dye and return the hair to its natural natural color.

Types of hair washes

Currently, surface and deep wash. Each of them contains a large number of oxidants and other chemical compounds that adversely affect the hair structure. Moreover, deep pickling can neutralize even dark pigments, but at the same time it also causes significant damage to the hair.

This deep hair wash contains hydrogen peroxide and ammonia.

The cleaning procedure in the salon is quite quick and takes no more than an hour.

Superficial pickling is more gentle, but it is powerless if you want to radically change the image, from a brunette to a blonde. However, it can even out and slightly correct the color.

In any case, after the washing procedure, the hair requires additional mandatory care. It includes both taking vitamins and various masks, balms, creams applied to the entire length of the hair. And if the hair is too weakened after dyeing, it is better to wait with the wash.

Natural hair remover

You can get rid of the unpleasant color, after dyeing your hair, you can also c. One of the most affordable means for this is kefir. In a small container, mix a liter of fermented milk drink, 1 tablespoon of salt and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Olive, burdock or castor oils are perfect for these purposes. Apply the mixture to your hair. Put on a hat, wrap your head with a towel and walk like that for an hour. Then wash your hair thoroughly with shampoo.

You can use a professional hair wash at home, but it's safer to leave this process to a stylist.

Of course, such a mask will not completely remove the paint, but it will wash out the pigment a little. If you repeat it periodically, you can achieve lightening of the hair by 1-2 tones.

For several years she could not dare to repaint from a burning brunette to a timid blonde: and now, gathering her will into a fist, she went to a beauty salon near the house, recommended by her friends. The result from such a visit to the "professionals" surpassed all expectations. Instead of the image of a bright blonde, you, by chance, "transformed" into an equally spectacular yellow-haired madam. Someone at this moment begins to pull out their hair (if there are any left after the ill-fated procedure), and someone takes the process of returning the hair color into their own hands. Next, you can get acquainted with the features of washing with professional and improvised means.

Superficial or deep

There are two types of paint remover - surface and deep. The deep one is more effective, it is better for dark colored hair. But it is more harmful, since it contains chemical oxidants in large quantities. The surface one, in contrast to the deep one, does less damage, but is not as effective. If your hair has been dyed in a dark color palette, try surface cleaning. Only if it does not work, then use deep pickling.

The surface wash does not contain oxidants, which destroy the hair structure, due to which the procedure is softer. If you only need to slightly correct the shade or even out the color, then surface pickling will suit you. To choose a good remover for pickling, look in the salon for photos of women who have already used the procedure - this will help you in choosing.

Bleaching

Sometimes, as a result of unsuccessful staining, a too dark color is obtained - not the same as initially wanted. Then you can use a bleaching agent. These preparations will not be able to return you to your natural color, but they will lighten the shade by four tones. Side effect the procedure may become unwanted reddishness, but with repeated discoloration, it disappears. It is not recommended to carry out the following procedure immediately; it can be repeated only after two weeks. But there is another option: you can avoid double discoloration by re-staining in the desired color.

Discoloration is almost the only way to deal with too dark or black colors. When washing off, the structure of the hair deteriorates, sometimes even the ends fall off. Therefore, after the procedure, it is necessary to carry out complex treatment and nutrition with balms, serums, restorative masks.

After discoloration, you need to be extremely careful in choosing the color of the paint. After all, the hair becomes more susceptible to dyes, and the color will remain for a long time. You should not hope that they will survive repeated pickling without negative consequences.

Removing hair dye with commercially available products

Now manufacturers from different countries offer us a wide range of paint removers. They all claim approximately the same properties, consist of similar components.

After use, the reviews were positive.
• One of the latest developments of the Farmen laboratory, Color-off, has already proved itself well in the world cosmetics market. The product contains proteins of soy and germinated wheat grains, which nourish and protect the hair structure. The remover removes the coloring pigment without harming the natural color. The product can easily remove even black paint. The principle of operation is that the artificial pigments of the corrector envelop the coloring particles, the paint is easily washed off. If the hair was not dyed too dark, then most often one pickling procedure is enough. This product has no brightening effect.
• The system of correction or complete removal of color "Colorianne Color System" from "Brelil" (made in Italy) works in the same way - it causes a minimum of harm, practically does not damage the structure. After using the product, immediately apply ammonia-free paint, otherwise the color may return. With this remover, you can easily carry out the pickling yourself. Reviews about the drug from this company are very good.
• Very convenient to remove hair dye "Backtrack Paul Mitchel". This company is well known as a manufacturer of home lamination products. This is a light paint remover. Complex "Backtrack Paul Mitchel" consists of two bottles of the product itself, shampoo and conditioner, with a neutralizing effect.

It is better to remove the coloring pigment in a beauty salon, but if you still decide to use professional means and wash off the paint at home, then take some precautions. Never use the cleanser on an irritated or damaged scalp. Use the product in a well-ventilated area, using gloves. Try to keep the eye cleanser from getting in your eyes, and if this happens, rinse immediately with plenty of lukewarm water.

In order to prevent unpleasant consequences, you need to check the effect of the wash on one strand of hair before performing the procedure. If everything is in order, then you can safely carry out the entire procedure.

Although manufacturers are trying to choose the least harmful components for removing unsuccessful staining, it is impossible to completely do without chemicals in this matter. Rather, it is possible, but it will not bring the desired results. After all, if you wanted a red color, and the head turned black, then you have to pretty much torment your hair in order to return it to its normal appearance.

Chemical components in the composition of the wash destroy the structure, which is why they acquire a faded shade and dry out slightly. Eliminating unpleasant consequences is quite difficult. You will have to regularly and often use moisturizing masks, conditioners, balms for a long time. Your hair will need more vitamins and nutrition than ever.

Folk remedies

There are several ways to wash off paint with improvised means. Their effectiveness has been tested by generations of women for decades. All you need is to choose the option that suits you best and use it. These are traditional folk methods (using salt, soda, oil, kefir, beer and many others), and chemical methods that can be applied in beauty salons or at home.

With the help of kefir

There are several recipes for kefir masks that will help you return your previous color. all you have to do is choose the one that suits you best:

• If you have an oily hair type, then try the following mixture: add forty grams of pink clay to one glass of kefir. Mix ingredients, apply for twenty minutes, rinse. If your hair is normal or dry, use forty grams of yeast instead of clay, and hold the mask for at least two hours.
• This method is aggressive. One hundred grams of kefir requires two chicken eggs, the juice of one medium-sized lemon, four tablespoons of vodka and a teaspoon of shampoo for your hair type with high level pH. Beat the mixture well, apply, cover with a plastic cap, leave for eight hours (it is best to do this wash overnight).
• The following mask effectively removes the paint: one chicken yolk, two tablespoons of castor oil are needed for two hundred grams of kefir. Mix everything, apply, cover with a warm cloth, leave for two hours.

You need to do the procedure once a day for a week. By the end of the term, your hair will acquire a shade close to what it was before dyeing. Moreover, thanks to the beneficial natural substances contained in the paint remover masks, the structure will be restored, and the curls will shine, as after visiting a spa treatment in an elite beauty salon.

With soda

• Mix equal proportions of baking soda and your favorite shampoo and apply the mixture to your scalp. After five to ten minutes, wash your hair using a conditioner balm to avoid disturbing the hair structure.
• Another way: dilute one heaping teaspoon of baking soda in a glass of water. Apply the resulting mixture and hold for about fifteen minutes, then rinse.
• Mix three to four tablespoons of baking soda, a glass of water, and the juice of half a lemon. Apply the mixture, wrap your head with a plastic cap and a thick cloth. Wash your hair after fifteen minutes. To do this, it is recommended to keep the hair under running water as long as possible (at least a quarter of an hour).

When deciding to wash off the paint with baking soda, know that this method is five times stronger than the usual remover offered in hairdressing salon... This means your hair will become extremely dry and< необходимо помочь при помощи увлажняющих кремов и масок. Для обладательниц сухих, тонких и склонных к ломкости лучше вообще подобрать иной способ (попробуйте сделать это natural remedies). But for those girls who have sebaceous glands they work too intensely on the head, washing with soda is just a godsend!

With mayonnaise

• Mix two hundred grams of mayonnaise with three tablespoons of vegetable oil (sunflower, olive, corn, etc.). Apply the mixture to the hair, spreading it over the entire length. Put on a plastic cap, wrap with a towel and keep for three hours. Wash off with shampoo, apply balm.
• Mix mayonnaise, kefir, yogurt in equal proportions, apply, keep for an hour and a half. Then wash off with shampoo and balm. For this recipe, the food mixture needs to be warm, so you need to microwave it (try not to curl up).

The greasier the ingredients in your mask, the faster the dye will wash off your hair, so use a high-calorie mayonnaise. Although, in any case, it is unlikely that it will be possible to return the previous color in one procedure. Even if your new color is so terrible that you are ready to wash your hair around the clock, remember: using the wash more than twice a day is not recommended!

Using lemon

• Add one hundred grams of kefir, three teaspoons of brandy, one chicken egg, one tablespoon of shampoo to the freshly squeezed juice of one half of a lemon. Mix all ingredients, apply and keep for at least three hours. Then rinse with shampoo, rinse with conditioner balm.
• This mask will perfectly wash off the paint after tint shampoo... Mix the juice of half a lemon, three teaspoons of vodka, two tablespoons of oil (castor or burdock). Apply the mixture and keep for an hour and a half. Then wash off as usual with shampoo and conditioner.
• Mix the freshly squeezed juice of one lemon, two teaspoons of honey, a tablespoon of olive oil, the pulp of one grated apple (preferably green). Mix the ingredients, apply on the head, stand on the head for an hour and a half. Wash off with shampoo, rinse with conditioner.
• Instead of lemon, you can use lemon essential oil. The result will only benefit from this. Acid in large quantities is harmful to the structure of your hair. Never go to bed with a mask that contains lemon, otherwise you will simply burn them.

With oil

Vegetable oils have proven to be equally good at removing paint. It doesn't matter which oil you choose: sunflower, olive, linseed or rapeseed, all of them contain substances that break down the coloring pigments and pull them to the surface of the hair. Burr oil, by the way, it is also herbal, although it is not used in cooking (it is sold only in pharmacies).

• We mix in equal proportions any vegetable oil and cognac. Depending on the degree of staining, we apply for a period of two to four hours. Then wash off with shampoo, rinse with balm.
• We heat the burdock oil to body temperature, distribute it evenly over the entire length and rub it into the roots with massaging movements. We put on a cellophane cap, a towel, hold it for at least six hours (in this case, you can go to bed with a mask). Wash off with shampoo (you don't need to use conditioner).
• We mix four tablespoons of olive, burdock, almond, linseed oil, add four tablespoons of beer. We apply and hold, you guessed it, four hours. We wash it off as usual.

The only contraindication for using a mask with oil may be increased fat content... For owners of dry and normal hair, such a wash is well suited: it nourishes and moisturizes the hair, preventing breakage and splitting.

With honey

First you need to wash your hair with a shampoo mixture with one teaspoon of sea salt. Blot hair with a towel, apply honey. You cannot cover your head with polyethylene or a thick cloth, only a light chintz scarf is allowed. Hold honey mask you need at least ten hours. Then wash off as usual.

Masks with honey have a whitening effect, while they give an even, natural shade. Make sure you are not allergic to honey before applying this recipe.

Using a decoction of chamomile flowers

Fifty grams of chamomile, two hundred and fifty grams of rhubarb, two teaspoons of green tea, brew with boiling water. Let it brew for about an hour, then rinse the hair with the resulting infusion, pat it dry with a towel, wrap your head with a thick cloth. After thirty minutes, wash, dry your head.

Brew two tablespoons of chamomile with boiling water in a two-hundred-gram glass. After ten minutes, pour the infusion into a bowl, add enough water there so that you can wash your hair. Dip your hair in water for a few minutes, then simply dry it.

Brew one hundred grams of chamomile flowers with boiling water (three hundred milliliters), leave for half an hour. Strain the infusion, add fifty milliliters of 30% hydrogen peroxide to it. Apply the mixture to your hair starting in the front strands. Cover your head with plastic wrap and hold for thirty minutes. Then rinse with regular shampoo, rinse with conditioner balm.

A decoction of dried chamomile flowers brightens even undyed hair, and removes it in five to six procedures. Chamomile is rich in nutrients, so you will feel smooth, shiny and bouncy hair after.

Using laundry soap

There is nothing surprising in the fact that paint is used to remove laundry soap... The lye, which is part of its composition, copes well with coloring pigments, helping to return the color that was before dyeing.

So, lather your head with laundry soap, lather a little, hold for five minutes, rinse with water. If you are so afraid of the smell, you can wash your hair with a fragrant shampoo at the end of the procedure. Since the alkaline environment is harmful to the structure, be sure to rinse your hair with acidified water. Use vinegar or lemon for these purposes.

It is unlikely that you will be able to return the previous color after the first wash. Most often, at least five to six procedures are required for the unwanted color to finally come off your hair. Of course, this is much slower than in a beauty salon - there it takes literally minutes to remove. But you will be 100% satisfied with the condition of your hair: folk remedies leaves no burnt strands or yellow color... After daily masks made from natural, nourishing ingredients, your hair will shine and shine with health.

Butter plus fat

The combination of oil and fat is the easiest way quick release from unsuccessful painting. Take two hundred milligram glass of regular vegetable oil, mix it with thirty grams of fat (both goose and pork will do). If you don't have the last ingredient on hand, replace it with margarine. The next thing you need to do is warm the mixture up to a temperature that is acceptable for skin contact (put a small amount of the mixture on your elbow, if it is not too hot for you, you can start the procedure).

With a special brush, which is usually used for dyeing, apply the entire mass to the hair, leave for half an hour. For fast results, wear a dyeing cap or bag over your head. It will not be easy to wash off such a mask the first time - you will have to show maximum patience and effort and spend a large amount of shampoo, but in a week you will look great.

Oil masks and fat

Natural oil-based paint removers are safe and healthy for hair because they provide the hair with nutrients. Oil masks are very effective and can defeat even natural colors like henna and basma.

Given that the oil is very difficult to wash off, only shampoos are used to remove such masks. oily hair... After these remedies, the hair becomes healthy, silky and shiny. The oil in these rinse mixtures protects the hair.

One of the ways to prepare the product: you need to mix a glass of any oil and thirty grams of pork fat. If the latter is not at hand, you can use margarine. This mixture needs to be slightly warmed up and applied to the hair, then leave this mask for half an hour, covering your head with plastic. At the end of the procedure, wash off with shampoo.

The essence of the next method is mixing oils with hand cream. The main component is taken in three types. Used by olive oil expensive varieties. The second - sunflower - must be refined. Finally, you need to buy castor from a pharmacy. This oil provides maximum whitening results. The three components are mixed in equal proportions, a little moisturizing hand cream is added, all this is heated and applied to the hair. Cover your head with plastic. Keep the mask for half an hour, then rinse with water and shampoo.

Of all the oils, castor is the strongest, so even black paint can be washed off with it. Three egg yolks and four tablespoons of oil are added to the bleaching mixture. The mixture is rubbed into the hair and scalp and then washed off after half an hour.

Many girls are happy to change their hair color, experimenting with shades, dyes from different manufacturers. But not all staining brings the desired result. A hair remover at home will help to remove a tone that, for some reason, did not fit your head of hair. You can use professional products or homemade mixtures that are gentle. And you should also be patient, because washing off the dye is not a quick task and not the easiest one.

What is a hair remover

Leafing through the prices of beauty salons, you can see the pickling procedure in the list of their services. This is what the professionals call the wash - the process of washing out artificial pigment from colored hair. For this, hairdressers use special chemical compositions.

They penetrate the hair shaft structure and displace the dye. It is almost impossible to do this in one go, so after a while the procedure is repeated. As a rule, they use this method to lighten black, dark, intensely colored strands by several tones.

Even after going through several washing sessions, you will not be able to regain your natural color, but you will get rid of the new shade. This is usually necessary in such cases:

• the color scheme simply did not fit, visually made the woman older, emphasized the flaws in appearance;
• the same tone, used for a long time, is boring. I would like to change the image;
• the paint is uneven, spots and stains are visible on the hair, or some areas are not stained;
• the color seems too bright or unnatural.

In the salon, the pickling service costs a lot: 1000-6000 rubles per visit. How many of them are required depends on the structure of your curls, the quality of the dye, and also how long you have been using it. Sometimes 2 procedures are enough, and in some cases the number of sessions reaches 5-6. For this reason, some girls prefer to remove hair dye at home. In addition, with self-excretion of the pigment, it is possible to use sparing agents that are prepared according to folk recipes.

Attention! Instead of pickling, you can bleach (lighten) your hair. The procedure is also performed in the salon or at home.

2. Superficial... Acidic agents are used to wash out the pigment.

Some ingredients dry curls, so recipes with them are recommended only for owners of oily strands. Although the spectrum folk ways so wide that you can always choose a harmless alternative to professional washes.

The disadvantage of natural pickling is a color change of 0.5–1 tone. There will be no effect as from chemicals.

Often, manufacturers of professional paint removers replace aggressive ammonia or hydrogen peroxide with gentle components. These include natural ingredients (soy extract, wheat germ), fruit acids.

• wear a hat in sunny weather, and a swimming cap in the pool. The sun and chlorine are harmful to any hair, especially weakened ones;
• make homemade masks based on kefir, eggs, bread, yeast. Frequency - 1-2 times a week;
• systematically cut the ends, lubricate them with special anti-cutting agents;
• if possible, go through a complex of restorative measures in the salon. After washing and dyeing, the weakened strands are suitable for lamination, glazing, screening, keratinization and other procedures.
