Like any other hair dye, this product has advantages and disadvantages.
Let's start with the pros:

From the minuses we can highlight the fact that on the gray areas of the hair sometimes it turns out a shade darker than expected by a couple of tones.
But on this account there is an official warning from the manufacturer.
What are the?
In addition to two different lines, with and without ammonia in the composition, Concept gives customers the right percentage of oxidant and the tint of the tinting mask to choose. This is very convenient for professionals working in the salons. And information about what oxidants are, useful for those who dyes their own hair.
Oxidants in percent:
- 1.5% - for professional hair tinting with greater intensity than is done with a special mask;
- 3% - for active darkening of a light shade, as well as coloring hair in tune, as the available color;
- 6% - an oxidant for effective filling in of gray or giving hair a rich shade;
- 9% - for those who want to burn with curls in copper-red tones, to amaze glances with fiery hair;
- 12% - for bright platinum tones.
If necessary, neutralize the unfortunate shade, for example, "rust" on the hair, enhance the color saturation - there are correctors and mixtones in the brand's arsenal.
Neutral - for less pronounced pigment; alkaline - if you need a radical remedy that removes gray hair or pigmentation.
Tint balm
Its difference from paint is that the color of the strands changes only by a few tones without radical changes. Balm TM Concept tones hair delicately, without penetrating into the structure and preserving its structure. Coloring turns out superficial, the pigment is retained on the hair due to their scales. Tonic is washed a month later, returning the hair its former shade.
The composition of the balm of this brand is different from other content of useful components: medicinal herbs, important minerals and several vitamins.
A large tinting palette allows you to choose a suitable color or achieve it by mixing several shades together.
Shampoo
Created by German technologists especially for light colored hair. Removes yellowing on colored strands. The composition does not have a strong effect on them, because there is no radical change in color. After applying it, the yellow pigment on the hair is replaced by an ash tint.
The tool with a soft composition cares for the hair, strengthening and nourishing it, improving the structure. The product is recommended for use on hair damaged by a previously conducted perm and frequent staining.
Thanks to the components of the shampoo porous hair will be docile, dense and shiny. At the same time, Concept soothes excessively irritated scalp, eliminating peeling and itching, saturating the cells with missing moisture.
And although the tint product has a dark purple color, you should not worry about traces of it. There will be no blemishes on the skin. The curls will become pinkish or ashen.
What will be the resulting tone depends on the exposure time of the coloring composition on the hair. Than this period is longer, the depth of color will be more saturated. To get a light ash tint it will take quite a bit of time to color.
If the tool was kept on the hair a little time, and the color turned out to be darker than expected, then you should mix the toning agent with any shampoo, and in this version apply to the curls.
Soft touch
Ammonia-free cream dye for a delicate hair dyeing procedure at a professional level. Does not contain salts of heavy metals, but pleases arginine, flax oil and vitamin C in the composition. These natural substances have a beneficial effect on curls and prevent the destruction of their natural structure.

When choosing paint you need to take into account the numbers on the package.
To make it easier to determine the desired shade, you should study the numbering system in the Layout of the Concept palette:
- the first number before the dot indicates the depth of the tone;
- the number immediately following the point determines the color direction or its main nuance;
- for the second digit after the dot, the task is to specify an additional shade.

How to use?
Before proceeding to the procedure of staining with the means from the Profy Touch line, the manufacturer recommends testing for skin sensitivity. This is due to the presence of ammonia in the composition. Conducting a standard test consists of applying the composition with a cotton swab on the ear to ear 48 hours before the start of the staining.
If during this period there were no unpleasant manifestations on the skin, the dye can be confidently used on the hair. But if paint gets into your eyes, you should immediately wash them with a large volume of water. Apply any paint only in gloves.
Consider the process of preparing for staining.
It is necessary to dilute the components of the paint to uniformity, using non-metallic dishes, a plastic spatula or a simple brush as a container. Protect hands with gloves, clothes with a protective cape.
It is recommended to use ready-made detailed calculation according to the table that determines the proportions to be used.
To obtain the desired effect, the oxidant is selected according to the instructions, observing the ratio of 1: 1 or 2: 1. The proportions depend on the desired shade of hair.
It is required to decide in what percentage concentration the oxidant is suitable for coloring: from 1-4 tones. With an average length and not too abundant thickness of hair, one tube is enough. During the painting of curls with a uniform color shade, the mixture should be applied immediately along the entire length, leaving on the hair from 30 to 40 minutes.
When dyeing gray hair, start from the roots, distribute for 10 minutes and leave the mixture on them. After it is distributed over the entire length and then aged for up to 25-35 minutes.
After dyeing, it is necessary to thoroughly wash the dyeing composition from the hair. Ideally, it is better to use a balm that supports the brightness of the hair. After the paint is washed off, it is applied to wet hair with massaging movements. Exposure time 2 minutes. Then the hair is once again well washed and dried.
If the hair is washed after painting traditionally, it is better to use shampoo with a neutral PH for washing off the paint. This is necessary to stop the action of the dye.But conditioners and masks directly after dyeing are not so necessary. As part of the concept Concept lacks its care products.
In the future, it is desirable to purchase a special shampoo and balm TM Concept, designed for colored hair. These tools will help maintain the brightness of the resulting color, keep the shine for a long time.
The masters with oil base on dyed hair are not recommended to be used by the master, as they quickly wash out the color.
