Instructions for dyeing hair with Garnier paint

Coloring your hair with Garnier hair dye is very easy. Spend this procedure you can do it yourself.

In order not to stain your clothes and hands while dyeing your hair, a special cape and gloves should be worn.

First of all, you need to make a mixture for dyeing hair: mix all the components in correct sequence and in accordance with the numbering of the dye and developer provided by the manufacturer. It is best to use non-metallic dishes for these purposes.

The emulsion is mixed with paint and a special developer, then everything is stirred until a homogeneous consistency.

As the components are mixed, the color of the mixture will change, but this will not affect the final result that appears on the hair.
Before applying the dye to the hair, it is strongly recommended to do an allergy test.

To do this, apply a little paint on your hand and wait about 10-15 minutes.

Hair should be dry and do not need to be washed. Apply the dye mass to the hair from the roots, and finish with the tips. Movements are made from top to bottom, the mass during application should be evenly distributed over the entire length of the hair.

Garnier Color & Shine hair dye, like other dyes of this company, is harmless to hair, since it does not contain ammonia.

After applying the paint, you need to collect the hair up. The dye mixture is left on the hair for 25-30 minutes.

Then the hair is thoroughly rinsed with plenty of water, after which conditioner is applied to the hair roots. It should be distributed not with your hands, but with a comb for greater uniformity.

How to properly wash your hair and care for colored hair

In order for the resulting shade to be preserved as long as possible, it is necessary to follow simple rules and recommendations:

1. Wash your hair only two days after the staining procedure... But it is not recommended to apply deeply nourishing agents at all, since they remove coloring pigments.
2. Rinse with various herbs. This will help maintain the color and shine of your hair. For example, blondes can make a decoction of chamomile (but only girls with golden or sandy hair), brunettes with black tea, and redheads with hibiscus tea.
3. It is not recommended to wash your hair too often., the color will wash out faster.
4. Dry your hair naturally without the use of a hair dryer, and it is better to leave perms for later.
5. You should comb brush with non-rigid teeth.
6. Wet hair you need squeeze gently in the palms.
7. If possible, then you need to wash your hair with bottled drinking water Filtered or boiled, regular chlorinated tap water affects hair color negatively.

5 - color nuance - red

Types of hair dyes.

There is Golden Rule: The dye can be overexposed on the hair, but the holding time must not be shortened.And the percentage depends on what result you want to achieve.
Professional dyes are divided into several types.
PERMANENT DYES: Permanent dyes (persistent) mixed with an oxidizing agent (hydrogen peroxide H2O2), they permanently color hair in natural, fashionable, red and light shades. With their help, you can achieve a persistent staining effect., completely paint over gray hair, lighten natural hair (up to 4 levels)... Their coloring composition includes a coloring base (non-developed pigments), colorless synthesized chemicals (intermediates) and ammonia NH4OH. When mixed with an oxidizing agent, a cosmetic color develops, which is firmly fixed in the internal cavities (voids) of the hair. The dye molecules polymerize, increasing by almost 300 times.
SEMI-PERMANENT DYES : Semi-permanent dyes (semi-resistant) do not contain ammonia (NH4OH), have more soft impact on the hair shaft. Semi-permanent dyes are mixed with an activator that contains a weak solution of hydrogen peroxide (from 1.5% to 4%). An activator is needed in order to develop coloring pigments. Color molecules do not penetrate deeply into the hair. With their help, you can add depth and shine to natural hair, tint previously colored hair. They do not brighten or have very low brightening power.(the effect of sunburned hair), do not completely paint over gray hair (from 30% to 50%).
TINING (tint dyes) - do not contain ammonia (NH4OH) or hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Created on the basis of direct (developed) pigments that are deposited on the surface of the hair. The action of dyes of this type is based on physical processes - the particles of the dye are held due to the effect of adhesion (positively charged ions of the dye are attracted to negatively charged hair). Dyes of this type are not mixed with an oxidizing agent; they can be used to give depth and shine to natural hair, maintain the brightness of the color of previously dyed hair, get bright juicy colors on lightened hair, even out and correct the color on unevenly dyed hair. They do not lighten hair, paint over gray hair up to 30%. The durability of toning dyes depends on the porosity of the hair (the more porous the hair, the stronger its negative charge and the longer the color lasts).
COLORING PREPARATIONS: With the help of preparations of this type, it is possible to reliably lighten both natural and artificial pigments up to 7-8 levels. They have a very strong effect on the hair.
CONTRAST HIGHLIGHTS: Designed to create contrasting strands, both on natural and previously colored hair.

PERMANENT DYE CAN BE COLORED ON NATURAL HAIR ONLY ONCE!

The colorant is not only hydrogen peroxide and an alkaline base, it is a highly technological product and the better it is balanced, the better the result.
If a permanent dye lightens natural hair by 3 levels, this indicates that it contains a certain concentration of alkali, which must be balanced with an oxidizing agent, a high percentage of oxide is much better for hair than a high content of alkali. Here, as on the scales, the lower the percentage of oxidizing agent, the higher the percentage of alkali.

and you can also, for the "especially gifted"
1. Permanent dye, as a rule, contains a high content of ammonia (ie alkali)
2. Semi-permanent is also called ammonia-free dye (but, nevertheless, ammonia is naturally contained there, but in a smaller amount than in ordinary permanent paints.
3. Oxidizing agent - as the name implies, has an acidic ph.

Then the question (I don’t understand the logic) is why the permanents are diluted 1: 1 (in some brands 1: 1.5), and semi-permanent as a rule 1: 2? that is, why do we increase the acidity of the paint, if its composition already contains a relatively small percentage of alkali? (well, this is, again, based on your logic with regards to the% oxidizer, that the lower the oxide, the higher the percentage of alkali, and here, in semipermanent materials, we already take the lowest oxide - 1.5 or 1.9) what is it instead of ammonia, then why do we need a double dose of oxy?)

Semi-permanent dyes work differently: In permanent products, oxygen is needed to oxidize the natural pigment and to develop color. Most of the oxygen is spent on the oxidation of the natural pigment; only 1.9% is enough for the manifestation of the cosmetic pigment. When mixing Koleston Perfect with 6% Welloxon in the mixture, there will be only about 2.8% on the hair. Now, there are so-called ammonia-free dyes based on MEA, then with the addition of 6% on the hair, the percentage will be higher.
In semi-permanent dyes for example Color Touch the principle is completely different, here the oxidizing agent is needed only for the development of the pigment. The Color Touch pallitra is very large here and Color Touch plus and Color Touch sunlights and Color Touch relights and Color Touch special mix. Each of these products has its own specifics, somewhere ammonia is not contained, in some it is present in insignificant amounts, where MEA is contained (it has been proven that MEA can be effectively used only in semi-permanent products, where the percentage of the oxidizing agent does not exceed 4%), there are tones where both ammonia and MEA are in the complex. A double proportion of the oxidizing agent is needed here only to make the consistency less dense for quick application techniques. It is convenient and economical for us.

? : And another question with regards to permanets and toning with their help by 3%?
if there is no gray hair and dye the roots by 3%, we get the tone we need (if we take 6%, then the color at the roots can really turn out to be lighter than the length), and tint the length with the same dye, but already taking 3% for wet hair? Is it really more harmful and more dangerous than a semi-permanent 1.5 activator 1: 2?

! : Don't compare the two products, they are completely different. Permanent dyes of all companies, one way or another, destroy the hair fiber by 12% and 1%! First of all, it is a highly alkaline product,alkali destroys hair much more than acids. If you are told that a permanent dye does not contain alkali or there is little of it, this is almost always a hoax. Now there is no such technology, when you can safely and reliably paint over gray hair, get bright saturated colors on natural hair or lighten it. Therefore, if you want to keep your hair healthy, do not use permanent dye twice on already colored hair.

It seems that this is rather the interest of the paint manufacturer !! Here you definitely need a permanent on the roots, a semi-permanent for a length, then it is imperative to add an ampoule to the dye, wash it with this particular shampoo and apply this particular mask, otherwise the result will not satisfy 100%

There is the so-called principle of SENERGY- the effect of dependence of one product on another. For example, how do you like this math problem 1 + 1 = 3
Like this?I think people here are all adults, but if the children suddenly read, I will insert pictures intended for children

In cosmetics, everything is exactly the same, only using the products in the complex, you will get an excellent result!

% OXIDES%

?: It turns out that if we take 3% 1: 1 and 6% 1: 2, the peroxide content in the final mixture will be practically the same (1.5% and 2%). Or is there something else in the oxidizing agent solution that is necessary for the process? To activate / develop / polymerize the dye base in permanent dyes, do you need 6% or more, or is this% needed more for better penetration of the pigment deep into the hair? Hence the question, what will happen if 3% peroxide is added to the permanent dye? Will it not cure at all or does it just not penetrate so deeply into the hair? (I don't mean cases with gray hair and lightening)
I realized the difference with the ammonia content. But I'm just wondering, is the principle of pigment activation the same in permanent and semi? Or maybe they differ in the final size (more persistent, smaller half-racks)?

!: The oxidizing agent is needed to accelerate the lightening reaction and the development of the pigment. The dye and the oxidizing agent are two balanced components, if the mixing proportions are violated, you risk getting an unsatisfactory result. If the oxidizing agent is more, the color turns out to be more transparent and less stable, if the oxidizing agent is less, the alkalinity of the dye increases many times, this creates an additional load on the hair, the color may turn out darker. Remember - the dye is a chemical process, it is very important not to violate the instructions, this can lead to disastrous results.

How the different hair colors are explained
Two different types of pigment (melanin)

In fact, electron and light microscopy, as well as chemical studies have allowed us to identify two different types pigment, i.e. two types of melanin. From these two forms of melanin, all natural hair colors known to us are formed. Both types of pigment exist in the form of true pigment grains.
Brown-black pigment

The first type of pigment has a dark brown to almost black tint. This pigment is responsible for the color saturation, that is, for the light or dark shade of the hair color. Depending on the amount of this pigment present in the hair, the hair color varies from light blond to dark brown to black. Perhaps you would like to know the scientific name of this pigment? It is called " eumelanin". For the sake of simplicity, we will call it henceforth “ brown-black pigment ".
Red pigment

In addition to brown-black pigment, there is another type of pigment. Unlike dark pigment grains, this type of pigment looks under a microscope like a ball on which you can distinguish the finest plates. These pigment grains are generally much smaller than the black-brown pigments. They are responsible for light blond and red hair. These pigments were named "pheomelanin". We call them very simply: "red pigment".
Brown-black and red pigments behave differently when lightened
The fact that there are two different pigments present in the hair has great importance... As every experienced practitioner knows, when lightening (bleaching or lightening) dark brown to black hair, reddish, red-orange shades are first achieved, which then, with radical intense lightening, are lightened to a golden-light color. Including when lightening more than blond hair, at first it is impossible to avoid the formation of golden-orange to golden shades... This is explained very simply: the brown-black pigment lends itself to our lightening measures and also breaks down much more easily than the red pigment, which stubbornly stays in the hair. Even with stronger lightening, the hair will remain “golden shine” due to the presence of red pigment residues.

Lightening background- is formed under the color when we dye our hair. When we act on the natural pigment with oxygen, the black pigment Eumelanin is destroyed and pheomelanin boils, which forms an orange color. This process must always be taken into account. The lightening background is usually taken into account when painting in cold tones.
The lightening background is needed in order to find out what is under the color when we wash it off or recolor it, for coloring it in cold tones, for discoloration. When we dye our hair, we must take into account that the artificial pigment will always be superimposed on the background of the highlight.

Level 1 - black (in Estelle - brown)

Level 2 - brown
Level 3 - brown-red (in Estelle Dark red)
Level 4 - red-brown(in Estelle -Red)
Level 5 - red (in Estelle - orange-red
Level 6 - red-orange (in Estelle -Orange)
7 level - orange (in Estelle - yellow-orange)
8 level - yellow
Level 9 - light yellow
Level 10 - white with gold

When coloring, we take into account that when applying a cosmetic color to a natural pigment (developed during lightening), we get a mixed color that can be calculated knowing the basics of color science.

In each company, technologists give the topic a little differently, colors can have different shades and color names are very conditional, because when lightening the hair cannot be red but have a reddish tint, at the 1st level the background of the lightening is black, but when repainting from light to dark at the 1st level we prepigment with intense red, the term brown is generally very interesting - Brown is one of the shades of brown. The use of the word often refers to inaccurately defined color tones and shades. According to Dahl: Brown - “the color of coffee, brown, nutty, gloomy; sparkling blackish; the same horse suit, between red and black. Brown iron ore, a type of iron ore.

You will be quite surprised, but when studying at the Vella international studio, the concept of "lightening background" is generally absent. For what purpose these teaching methods are being developed, I am not given to know, but still adding a corrector, neutralizing the pigment, I look at the color, never thinking about the depth of tone. In each school and cosmetic company, the name of the shades of the lightening background is given a little differently, but in general, levels 1-5 are dominated by red, 6-8 orange 9-10 yellow

And at the seminar, Estelle was explained to me a little differently.
1. Black - consists of blue + red + yellow and if you lighten, then the blue leaves first
starting from level 3-5, red prevails, from level 6 - red + red, 7-8-red, 9-10-yellow.
the point is that first the blue will go, then red, and as a result, yellow will remain, although I may not have understood correctly, but there was no talk of any brown

Almost natural hair, when dyed, never gives a bluish lightening background and, in general, blue pigment is very rare in nature. I will quote the post - "As every experienced practitioner knows, when lightening (bleaching or lightening) dark brown to black hair, first red, red-orange shades are achieved, which then, with radical intense lightening, are lightened to a golden-light color. lightening lighter hair, it is impossible to avoid the formation of golden orange to golden hues at first.The explanation is very simple: the brown-black pigment lends itself to our lightening measures and also breaks down much more easily than the red pigment, which persists in the hair quite persistently. Even with stronger lightening, the hair will remain "golden shine" due to the presence of red pigment residues. "
Microscopic Hair Model: Notice the Melanin Grains!

Is eumelanin in a granular (brown-black) state and pheomelanin in a diffuse (yellow-red) state?
If the scattered pigment is more grainy - the hair is light,
If the grainy is more scattered, the hair is dark. Everything is very simple - the more pigment, the denser it is and the hair is darker, the less pigment, the more scattered it is and the hair is therefore lighter.

Hair color is determined by the level of melanin. The higher the melanin level, the darker the hair. There is also a dependence of the number of hair follicles on the scalp on hair color. On average, red-haired individuals have the smallest density of vegetation on their heads (from 60 thousand to 80 thousand hairs), and the greatest brunettes (up to 200 thousand hairs).
Hair color depends on many factors, the most important of which are genetic and endocrine. Hair color depends on the amount of dye - the pigment, which is in the cells of the cortex layer of the hair, and on the amount of air that is "diluted" with the pigment. As a matter of fact, two pigments play a decisive role: eumelanin (black-brown) and pheomelanin (yellow-red), the combination of which gives the whole range of color shades... These pigments are synthesized by special cells (melanocytes) only in accordance with the genetic program. Light hair or dark, still a lot of significant in this parameter is physical properties hair - thickness, porosity. In the hair that is thicker and not porous, there are more melanin granules - therefore, it is more saturated in its color, plus the light glides over the tightly pressed cuticle scales and enhances the brightness of the color, and in thin and porous hair, on the contrary ... for example, one and the same human hair, but in a dry state and wetted with water - hair looks lighter dry, and hair looks darker wet, as water molecules fill the voids of the hair and it becomes denser and smoother ...
The activity of melanocytes is not the same, therefore the hair of one person differs in color, which gives the hair a wonderful natural look, which can never be confused with the type of colored hair, always the same. Over time, the activity of the pigment-producing cells decreases, the hair grows uncolored, that is, gray.
People are distinguished by hair color as follows: Light, red and dark people are distinguished. Other names: blond, dark-haired, brown-haired and red-haired.
The predominance of phaeomelanin granules gives the hair a reddish color.

Melanocytes produce pigment granules.
Pigments:
pheomelanin- it is difficult to break down, it is difficult to remove from the hair, it is responsible for the background of lightening.
eumelanin- quickly degrades, affects the tone level, depth and color direction. The hair itself is colorless.
The combination of pigments gives the hair color. The more pigment in the hair, the darker its tone.
The lightening background is the color that results from the partial destruction of the natural pigment.
The hue of the highlighting background affects the final staining result.

And now about the main thing: When the natural hair pigment is exposed to bleaching compositions, the pigment itself is destroyed, that is, two pigments RED RED and BROWN BLACK, as a result, their molecular lattice changes and we see the manifestation of red and yellow shades BLUE PIGMENTS do not exist in hair. You yourself are convinced of this every time, but the standard, unified theory hammered into your head prevents you from looking at the problem more broadly.

PRELIMINARY PIGMENTATION FOR COLORING POROUS HAIR
Porous hair is famous for its inconsistency, that is, it does not like long-term relationships with coloring pigments. As a result of this feature, the color does not last long, quickly fades and is washed out. In order to prevent and prevent this situation, preliminary pigmentation can be done, which will strengthen the union of coloring pigments and the cortex and preserve it for a long time.
The only thing to be afraid of in this case is a slight darkening of the hair due to the excessive saturation of the hair with pigment.
Application:
1. Take the dye and mix it with water in a 1: 3 ratio. It should be borne in mind that the lower the degree of porosity, the more the dye will dilute. So, with low porosity, it is permissible to mix the dye with warm water in a ratio of 1: 8.
2. Apply to problematic porous areas of hair. Comb your hair for a more even result.

Where do the green tint from the natural color of dyes come from ??!--- The fact is that a neutralizer of natural pigment has already been added to many dyes, i.e. in the 3rd level it is green, in the 6th level it is blue, etc. From this we draw conclusions. Those. if you paint base 8 (yellow) in 6 (copper), then, accordingly, blue is added to 6.0, when applied to base 8, we get green (i.e. w + with a neutralizer in 6.0 - it will just turn green) ... When painting tone on tone, I think you have not encountered the problem of green tint.

When lightening, we see the pigment, i.e. if you discolor from level 3, upon application we immediately see red, which gradually lightens and turns into red, yellow. If we decolorize natural 6 - immediately copper, 8 - immediately yellow and, oddly enough, blue does not pop out anywhere! Have you thought about it?
At one of the seminars, a technologist climbed into this steppe, who also claimed that there is a blue pigment, but, as he did not try, to the audience, he could not prove its existence! Don't confuse primary colors with pigment - they are two different things.

if you mix brown with red and red, there will be no greenery due to the fact that the brown color simply does not exist, it is a secondary color resulting from mixing. by the way, brown consists of 3 primary ones, i.e. K, F and S. A, if you mix it with K and M, then there will be no greenery for the reason that a large content of red simply neutralizes it! (v brown more warm colors than cold ones, and you also added warm ones, so greenery has no place to come from - try experimenting with watercolors for an example)

DYE

The first digit before the fraction is the level of the tone depth
The second number, but after the fraction, is the main color nuance.
the third digit after the fraction is an additional color nuance
for example 7/74 - the level is clear to you, the main color 7 is brown, and the additional 4 is copper .. total brown-copper.

Hello! I have sprinkled everything, but I can not find the prepigmentation technology in any way. I need to make dark chocolate out of highly streaked hair. I will be very grateful if you can help me. In all firms, pre-pigmentation is given in different ways.
Someone repels from the missing background of clarification, if necessary, 5-0 then there is not enough red pigment and prepigment with a red mixton, 6-0 copper, if 8-0 with yellow, the mixton is diluted with water to the state of liquid sour cream.
Another way the desired color 6-0 is prepigmented to a tone higher than 7-0 with water
They also take a tone lower with water 1: 3, after 30 minutes they oxidize the pigment with oxide 1.9%
Or the prepigment is not done at all, but gold 1: 4 is added to the paint 5-7 40g + 5-3 10g.

PRELIMINARY PIGMENTATION
Pre-pigmentation is a preliminary saturation of the hair with a coloring pigment. This procedure allows the dye to lie on the hair more richly and qualitatively. It is used for dyeing gray hair, as well as for dyeing highly porous hair and darkening.

2. Apply to problematic porous areas of hair. Comb your hair for a more even result.
3. There is no holding time. Do not rinse, proceed with staining.

Background Dimming
The problem of the appearance of an undesirable shade appears not only when the hair is lightened, but also when it is darkened, only in the latter case this problem manifests itself with strong light jumps. So, for example, when darkening a very light blonde into a light brown color, a pleasant swampy shade will appear.

But a logical question arises: why there is an undesirable shade, because we do not need to lighten the pheo-melanin. The answer lies in its absence. After all, in order for a light brown color to turn out on the client's hair, the presence of the orange-red pigment pheo-melanin is necessary, and we have only light yellow. T And this is why greenery appears - due to the lack of the necessary pheo-melanin.
To avoid the appearance of an undesirable shade, you must first saturate the hair with the missing pigment or add it to the base color formula. If you look closely at the previous table, you can find the answer to this question. Let's make the task easier by giving a table for neutralizing the background shading:

REVERSE HIGHLIGHTING
Reverse highlighting is the creation of the effect of highlighted hair on fully or partially lightened or bleached hair.
It often happens that the client highlights the hair to such a state that it becomes uniformly white and the highlighting effect remains only at the roots. Every master has at least once faced a situation when the client wants to regain the look of classic highlighting. Back highlighting is intended for these very cases. Unlike the classic highlighting, the coloring tool will be the dye. In this case, it is very important to take into account the porosity of the hair and its lightness (it is necessary to remember about the Darkening background)

Application:
1. Mix a permanent dye with an oxidizing agent in a ratio of 1: 1 or 1.5: 1 (the mixing ratio is selected based on the characteristics of the hair structure). The oxidizing agent must be chosen 3% or 6% (depending on the manufacturer).
2. Apply to all hair with the selected tool using a darning stitch (the type of darning is determined individually).
3. Exposure time 30-35 minutes (depending on the dye).
4. At the end of the exposure time, rinse hair well with water. Wash with shampoo.

QUESTION-ANSWER: I WILL EXPLAIN IN THE HOME-KITCHEN WAY WITH CHEMISTRY. Sure you know. For fluffiness and loosening of the structure of the dough. It's the same with the hair. This is the catalyst. That is, in the language of chemists, an accelerator of the reaction. Ammonia promotes the penetration of the chemical into the hair. By the way, in the union, we did not have a choice of chemicals and were expelled as best we could. And in order to get a light blonde, ammonia was added to the supra. True, we had to stand over the client and look - the hair could fall out ...

I quote from the net:

Let's write it down a little:
Precursor substances in the hair shaft polymerize - they are arranged in a certain geometric order. In hair dyes, derivatives of aromatic hydrocarbons are used in my scheme, for example:metadiamine compound(crimson) andnaphthol compound(grayish beige), there are millions of possible combinations. The final color is also affected by oxidized melanin in a diffuse state (in our case, red). Visible light is absorbed by the crystal lattice of artificial pigments and residues of natural pigment, each substance has a specific geometric structure that absorbs a certain part of the visible spectrum of electromagnetic waves and reflects, for example, the red, golden and red spectrum, that is, electromagnetic waves a certain length which our brain converts to color. That's not all: the light passing through the scaly layer is refracted, diffraction of the reflected light occurs, as a result of which the wavelength changes and we see a slightly different shade. Light waves reflected from pigments are summed up and we see a color in the range from 640 - 590 nm, which corresponds to a copper color.
Maybe this diagram will clarify your understanding of the processes occurring in the hair.

The dye numbers for each brand mean a certain range of shades. As an example for comparison, two brands:

Estel Professional Estel ESSEX Hair Color Cream:

Row numbering
0 - natural
1 - ash row (blue pigment), corrector (mikston) - 0/11
3 - golden row (yellow pigment), corrector (mikston) - 0/33
4 - copper row (orange (copper) pigment), corrector (mikston) - 0/44
5 - red row (red pigment), corrector (mikston) - 0/55
6 - purple row (purple pigment), corrector (mikston) -0/66
7 - brown rows (… / 7,… / 73 .. / 74,… / 77,… / 75,… 76)

Numerical designation of tones in the palette
first digit before fraction - tone depth
the second digit (1st after the fraction) - color nuance (main shade)
third digit (2nd after the fraction) - additional color nuance (enhancing, complementary shade)

An example of decoding number 6/54 from Estel:
6 - depth of tone - dark blond
5 - color nuance - red
4 - additional color nuance - orange (copper)

Igora Royal by Schwarzkopf Professional

Row numbering
0 - natural
1 - sandre - pearl, (mikston) - 0-11
2 - ash, (mikston) - 0-22
3 - matte, (mikston) - 0-33
4 - beige, (mikston) - 0-44
5 - golden, (mikston) - 0-55
6 - brown, (mikston) - 0-66
7 - copper, (mikston) - 0-77
8 - red, (mikston) - 0-88
9 - purple, (mikston) - 0-99

Numerical designation of tones in the palette
first digit (before hyphen) - indicates tone depth
the second digit (1st after the hyphen) - defines the minor tone
the third digit (2nd after the hyphen) - defines an additional minor tone; the fourth (3rd after the hyphen) - defines the intensity (saturation) of the color

Example of decoding number 6/54 IGORA Royal:
6 - dark blond
5 - golden
4 - beige

CONCLUSION:Estelle 6/54 has a red-copper shade on dark blond, and Igora Royal 6-54 has a golden beige shade on dark blond.
So, in order to answer your questions, you need to understand what shades you mixed, in order to understand what the error is or how to fix an already created error. And more importantly, write on which base the dye was applied (the original shade of the hair) ... I'm not talking about such basic concepts as the porosity of the hair, its thickness and length ... ...

V from what I also found: "When lightening or dyeing, you should always take into account the presence of a dominant pigment for different levels of lightness. If a dominant shade is not desired, you need to choose the right counter-color to neutralize it. For example, when lightening natural hair with dye from 3 to 5 lightness levels ( where the dominant pigment is red) choose a super clarifier with a slight ashy shade... The ash will neutralize the red for a cleaner brightening result. When lightening natural hair up to level 8-10, where pale yellow pigment dominates, choose a super lightener with a slight purple tint. "

QUESTION ANSWER:

What are we neutralizing ??? What is in natural 7-ke or what will come out on 10-ke ??? What should be considered - the content of natural pigment or the level of lightening that you need?

As an example:
NB - 6
desired color - 8/0

To do this, you take 9% oxide for the length, 6% for the roots (since 6% on the roots raises 3 levels). Thus, you reach your base to the 8th level. The lightening background at the 8th level is yellow. And you need to get a natural 8-ku.
This means that we need to neutralize exactly the unwanted tone that will come out as a result of your actions with the paint (i.e. the background lightening). Namely - to remove this very yellow. And it is removed by introducing violet into the paint. So, you can take the 8/6 paint, which already includes a purple nuance, and dye your hair with it, getting 8/0 as a result.

Coloring loves practice more. And, let's say, from my own experience, I know that when raising hair from 6 to 8, a little reddishness may be present. Therefore, I always add a little blue mixton to the paint.
Many masters rely on their own experience, because all hair is individual. Well, the chuyka should work, over time you will feel that you can add to such hair, that you can add to other hairs, that it is better to mix it into the third hair, in order to get the desired color in all three cases.

You cannot neutralize natural pigment in any way. Neutralizing the always unwanted lightening background.
If you raise from 7 to 10, then you neutralize the DO that appears at 10.
Before coloring, you must clearly understand where you start and how you plan to finish.
In my example, I raise from 6 to 8, yes, there is a small amount of redness, because the background of clarification at the 8th level is yellow - this is a very conditional division. In some it is yellow, in others it is yellow-reddish. All hair is different.
I think that no one will answer you unequivocally, as in mathematics, here - that here it is guaranteed that the redhead will come out in all cases, but there it will not come out. And you should always look at the structure of the hair. After all, the hair of the 6th level is also all different - the hair can be thin, or it can be thick, it can be pure 6th level, and it can be between 6 and 7 levels, and maybe between 5 and 6 levels. Everything is purely subjective. And although in colorism they try to adhere to certain frameworks as much as possible, but this is not always possible.
Let's say I paint, according to the example I gave, one client with thin hair NB which is between 6 and 7 (but I defined them as 6-ku) and another client with thick elastic hair whose NB is between 6 and 5 (I again defined them as 6-ku, I felt so). And the pigment in both cases in the hair will be different. One will have a residual redhead at the 8th level, and the other will not have a residual redhead at the 8th level.

Another example. We paint two clients, whose NB is 7, paint 9/6 with 6% oxide on the roots (the length was previously painted). In the first, the hair will fly away to the 9th level, in the other, the hair will barely reach the 8th level. Because the hair is different. And such cases are not uncommon.

Let's consider an example: medium-blond hair (7 UGT). Wish
customer get 10N color (very light blonde).
7N → FD (34) → 10.21 + 9% → 10N
↓↓
21 (neutralizing pigment)
In this case, the shade 10.21 was taken to neutralize, which
contains a neutralizing violet-blue pigment. Certainly,
you can also use a mixton, in this case the formula will be
look like this:
7N → FD (34) → 10N + 0.22 + 0.11 + 9% → 10N
↓↓
21
Mikston

Forgive me, Mr. Kuvvatov, here is an example from his book. Pay attention, the level we take into account is 7, yellow-orange.
further, I talked with another technologist (international class, very, very competent),
so the situation was repeated - we look at the level of clarification of the 7-ki and paint 10.21.
then I asked for another example, from 6 to 10. and the background of the lightening was again looked at 6s, not 10s.
So you need to look at the background of the lightening of the level from which we paint. In any case, I cannot trust two great specialists. And how much I painted myself, I noticed the same thing ...

Lightening background this is a relative concept, now dyes are changing very much and in order to paint correctly, you need to have deeper knowledge of the structure of the hair, the chemical processes that occur during dyeing.
For example, with modern dyes you will not achieve the result with the help of your example. From the 7th natural level, you will not achieve a color of 10.0, as in a farb map, using a dye 10.0. By neutralizing the warmth of the natural pigment, you will inevitably get a darker result, besides the levels are a relative concept. The degree of lightening depends on many nuances: the lightening ability of the product (the concentration of alkaline agents in different brands is different), the thickness and stiffness of the hair, the degree of porosity of the hair, the type of natural pigment (natural melanin domination), for example, at the 7th level, pheomelanin is often dominant, which is very it is difficult to destroy and from here you will get a red color, which theoretically should not be at level 10, therefore, in this formula, the addition of blue does not wake up superfluous.
My advice to you is, learn the classics very well, then start all over again, but more deeply, do not try to build universal schemes, they simply do not exist.

----

What to do, for example, if ... NB 6.0. color by length 6.07, gray 75 percent and Desired color 8.3.
What to do with gray hair? to do pigmentation? And how to remove the seven. If, for example, it is beige, and the three in the zhts is gold, is it worth removing at all? mixston?
thoroughly confused, I will be grateful for any kind of comments on this issue ...

Only through discoloration! I repeat once again: PAINT DOES NOT LIGHTEN PAINT! You need to raise the painted base by at least 2 levels. You can also discolor the root in one - then re-staining can be done in one batch, and gray hair on bleached hair will be colored without prepigmentation. If the client continues to paint with this shade, then paint the roots 8.33+ 8.0+ 9%

------

Different technologists have different answers. The first is about neutralizing the lightening background (see above) and the second: is it necessary to wash your hair with shampoo after blonding before toning, in Kuvvatov's book, for example, not mine, in other literature, on the contrary mine. So how is it really? Or is it different in each brand and you need to find out from the technologist of a particular brand?

Nowadays there are a lot of different products and recommendations can be completely opposite. I already wrote about the background clarification, we neutralize at the level to which we rise.
Why do we wash our hair at all, 1 to cleanse the skin and hair from impurities, 2 to wash off the preparation (styling, dye, etc.).
Why do many companies recommend dyeing hair with persistent dyes 48 hours after the last washing procedure, on average, the natural protection of our skin, the hydrolipid layer, is restored in 48 hours.
After blonding, the skin is definitely more sensitive and when washing with shampoo, this sensitivity increases, if the toning dye is aggressive, then it will be a great stress for the skin. On the other hand, if you wash off the drug badly (and without shampoo it is problematic), the problems will be even greater. We tried to apply protection from different companies to the skin, but the sensitivity still remains. I concluded for myself that it is better to rinse the hair well using shampoo, and choose a softer product for toning.

% OXID%

What role does oxide play in paints and oxidation, and what role does ammonia play.

To begin with, let's analyze what Oxide is .. One molecule of it has the formula H2O2 ... This is a very fragile compound ... Under the influence of light and temperature, it decomposes into atomic oxygen "O" and Water H2O ... this atomic oxygen ... It is he who breaks through the scaly part of the hair during dyeing and paves the way for the agents of the dye, it is thanks to him that the natural pigment of the hair is discolored. Atomic oxygen is a shock army.
To prevent hydrogen peroxide from quickly decomposing into atomic oxygen and water, stabilizing substances are added to it.
Well, now let's figure it out ... why do we need ammonia ... A long time ago in hairdressing they used another alkali ammonia ... and then switched to Ammonia.
Ammonia and ammonia are catalysts. as soon as they come into contact with the Oxide molecules in the dye mixture, then theybegin to emit atomic oxygen with great force ...It kind of starts to "shoot" through the hair, loosening its scaly layer ... Well, if you operate in simple terms ... Ammonia is a pistol, atomic oxygen is a bullet ... But sometimes in our practice one pistol is not enough to pierce the hair, especially when we dye glassy, ​​gray hair. There you need not a pistol, but a submachine gun, and in some cases a machine gun ..Therefore, in some brands (for example Vella) there are paints with a doubled presence of Ammonia ... We can identify these paints by their number there are doubled zeros there, for example 5/00 .... 6/00 ... and so on ... And at 12 a number of all brands have a doubled amount of Amia. Haircuts

Tie your hair back baby, we're gonna ride tonight

Summer, it seems, has finally come, the hats can be hidden until better times, which means that our hair is again in the spotlight. In this connection, I decided to resort to the advice of a professional and ask a few questions to Dmitry Magin, Garnier's hair coloring expert and creator. We talked with him about hair care, the nuances of coloring, haircuts and image.

Is it true that hair growth depends on the phase of the lunar calendar during which the hair was cut?

In fact, this is a question for which there is no single answer. Nowhere and no one scientifically confirmed with certainty that such a dependence exists - but we, specialists, constantly observe it. When the haircut is done in the waxing moon phase, hair grows back faster after it. When in a decreasing phase, it is slower. It comes to the curious: some clients come and say: "After your haircut, the shape holds for so long, the hair does not grow back, great!" Others, on the contrary, are glad that after my "light hand" their hair quickly begins to grow. Why this is so - I cannot say for sure, but I constantly observe the dependence on the lunar calendar in practice. By the way, gardeners are also guided by lunar calendar- apparently, after all, the Moon influences us strongly enough.

Are there any tricks you can use to extend the age of your haircut and keep it in shape longer?

Generally speaking, a haircut made by a good master does not turn into a crow's nest in the process of regrowth. The shape must be maintained, only the hairline is drooping. I know examples when clients come in six months, and they completely understand what kind of haircut was done, and moreover, it looks quite beautiful, especially if a woman is styling her hair.

If, nevertheless, the situation is catastrophic, and you absolutely do not like what the haircut has become, but the time of the visit to the specialist has not come yet, then there is an option (by the way, very summer) of masking this - comb your hair back, creating with the help of gel or other styling means the effect of wet hair. Sleek, elegant hairstyles hide a lot.

In which cases home staining preferable to salon? What are the main differences between home and professional paints? What are the reasons for these differences?

In my experience, choosing home or salon coloring is not always a financial issue. Many fairly wealthy women just love to paint themselves, to experiment on their own: for them it is just as exciting as for some of them - doing their own makeup. They say that they literally cannot resist and in the store, when they see the paint, they buy it with a thirst to try it out as soon as possible. And on the contrary, there are those who will deny themselves some necessary things in order to pay for coloring the salon.

In general, of course, dyes for home use have a narrower range of possibilities: dye hair in one tone, paint over gray hair. In a good salon, a rare master will now dye his hair with some one shade - we make highlights, overflows, a smooth transition of color, so that the hair “plays” better.

The main difference between home paints and salon paints is the oxide content. In home paints for permanent dyeing, it is always 6%, in salon paints, the percentage varies quite widely (both up and down). The reason for this is very simple: it is the 6% oxide that paints over the gray hair. And this opportunity is in great demand for permanent paint.

And why does the coloring of gray hair have any difficulties? This is hair without pigment, shouldn't it absorb the dye much better and easier?

Gray hair is by no means just hair without pigment. This is aged hair, and in addition to the absence of pigmentation, it has such a feature as completely open scales of the hair cuticle. It easily takes the hair into itself, but cannot hold it - through these scales, the paint comes back almost immediately. It is the six percent concentration of oxide that acts on gray hair properly - not more and not less. This is the specificity of a chemical reaction.

What are the most common home staining mistakes?

The most serious and common mistake is not observing the dye holding time on the hair. What is the dyeing process in a nutshell? First, with the help of peroxide, the hair scales are opened and its own pigment is "pushed out" of the hair. The hair is then filled with a new color using ammonia - although Garnier's new paint, Olia, transports the pigment using oils (oil delivery system) - and then the scales are closed, holding the new pigment. The process, as you can see, is gradual, and if you wash off the paint ahead of time, it will be disrupted, and with a rather unpredictable result. “I will hold the paint less and get a softer shade”, “I will hold the paint less and not injure my hair as much” - this does not work. As a rule, it is already up to the master to correct such errors.

The second common mistake is trying to correct unsuccessful hair color after dyeing by re-dyeing right there. This is too harsh on the hair - you need to wait an interval of at least two to three weeks, if you do not want to be left without hair at all. It is better to try to soften the shade by making nourishing masks more often: many of them (if not specifically designed for colored hair) wash out the pigment a little.

Actually with perm it is not that simple. Yes, harsh "chemistry" in combination with permanent dyeing can severely damage hair. But now very few people make a kind of "mutton curl", as in the eighties. And the curling is now softer, less traumatic, creating more natural curls. If you act with paint immediately after it, it is not that it injures the hair - but the components of the paint will disrupt the chemical reaction that goes on in the hair after curling, and the curls can straighten.

By the way, the same is with chemical hair straightening.

Many women use hair styling devices at home - hair dryers, diffusers, curling irons, etc., often on a daily basis. Which ones are the most harmful to hair and how often would you recommend using them?

Modern styling devices are very gentle with hair, so I wouldn't recommend any restrictions at all. The only thing, if you use a hair dryer every day, I would advise you to apply a little of any styling product to your hair before drying, better than mousse - it will protect your hair from drying out. Almost all mousses contain polymers that cover the hair with a thin protective film. In general, now even the irons, which previously could severely injure the hair, are now so processed that, due to the flexible change in temperature, they are practically harmless. Although, before using them, I still advised using thermal protective agents specially designed for this.

In general, one should not be afraid of heating as an unconditionally traumatic effect. I want to remind you that for many medical procedures in salons it is the heat that is used - after applying masks, during lamination, etc. The only question is temperature regulation, and modern devices can do it quite well.

What haircuts, in your experience, are more likely to visually rejuvenate your face - short or long?

In general, of course, the short ones are more young. But being young is far from a recipe for a woman's attractiveness. It is much more important to choose a hairstyle that matches the figure and age. Age is by no means a hindrance to beauty - just look at Sophia Loren. She does not try to look like a girl, she is a gorgeous woman, although not young. The attributes of youth sooner or later cease to look organically. In addition, many gain weight with age, and if you choose a short haircut with a large figure, it will look ridiculous. Such a haircut will accentuate figure flaws, while a lush head of hair, on the contrary, will hide it. Imagine that you are a large woman with a very short hair- even if it is done at least three times by the master, when you enter the room, you will get the impression that first your forms appear, and then your head! By the way, a thin, fragile woman with a huge shock of hair will look no less ridiculous - a kind of "Pan Oduvan".

Therefore, I would generally not advise focusing on the issue of visual rejuvenation when choosing a haircut. Everything in the image should be harmonious and tasteful.

Which of the hair salon procedures that have appeared in recent years do you consider the most revolutionary and interesting?

I really like the keratin hair seal that L'Oreal has developed. This is at the same time smoothing hair, styling and saturation with keratin. The procedure has a cumulative effect and should be done about once a week. Keratin accumulates in the hair, which becomes more dense and elastic. The number of repetitions of procedures depends on the individual condition of the hair - when you feel that the hair is already sufficiently nourished, you can stop.

Do you have any favorite hair care or hair restoration method at home that you would recommend to your readers?

Recently, I really like the Garnier Fructis Triple Recovery mask with a complex of oils - although completely inexpensive, but effective. For dry hair, this is just a little in-home spa treatment.

Mongoose's note:
I hope you were able to learn something new for yourself in matters of hair care, coloring and cutting. In any case, I learned a lot of interesting things (which is not surprising, because I came up with the questions based on what interests me).

And what did you find deserving of attention in this interview?

In the life of a modern woman, hair coloring has become absolutely commonplace. This procedure helps to disguise gray hair, update the image, and radically change the look.

Manufacturers offer goods for every taste and wallet, but their products are far from always harmless to the condition of the curls, or they do not give a durable result. How does the composition of hair dye help you make the right choice?

Chemical composition

Products in this category are famous for their richness of shades and good durability, which is provided by the oxidation process. The main component of the oxidizing agent is hydrogen peroxide. Its concentration varies from 1.8% to 12%, and the higher it is, the more the hair structure suffers.

Organic product

In addition to peroxide, paints contain:

• ammonia (alternative name - ammonium);
• oxidation pigments (hydroquinone, resorcinol, paraphenylenediamine).

Paraphenylenediamine in crude form was used until the 70s. XX century, after which it was banned due to the provocation of hair loss. In the early 2000s. it was returned to the formula by subjecting the substance to a multi-stage purification system.

Ammonia- the substance is aggressive, in its pure form it is highly toxic. It is added to dyes to loosen the hair cuticle and create an alkaline environment, due to which the pigment penetrates into the deepest layers of the hair and strengthens there.

It is impossible to wash off the ammonia paint, and the structure of the strands is greatly deteriorated. With frequent staining, an unauthorized increase in the exposure time of the product, the use of saturated, dark shades and blondes, the hairstyle begins to resemble tow: dryness appears, fragility increases, shine is lost, the styling process becomes difficult.

Composition of ammonia-free paints

The impact on the curls of funds without ammonia is much more harmless, but they cannot be called absolutely harmless. Instead of ammonia, the formula contains its derivative with ethylene oxide - monoethanolamine, a softer substance.

The main advantage of such dyes is that it is more gentle on the effect on the hair. Moreover, they are at times inferior in the durability of the pigment. Also, the result obtained does not always coincide with the declared tone.

The formula often contains natural ingredients:

• vitamin complexes;
• oils.
