If you want to change your color or make it 2-3 tones lighter, then Profession Permanent Caring Color is best suited for this task. For gray-haired, dense hair types, the Professional line is the most preferable, since it is ammonia that deeply opens the hair scales and allows the pigment to penetrate inside. And the additional components that make up the paints of this line, keep pigments inside the rod for a long time.

Ammonia-free dyes Indola Zero AMM Color designed to give hair a light shade. The absence of ammonia does not mean that the resulting color will be washed off after the first washing of the head. In their composition there is monoethanolamine, which, like ammonia, opens scales, but acts more gently, so the shade on the hair is slightly less bright. Both lines are sold under the brand name Indola, used along with oxidizing agents. They allow you to show the desired shade on the hair. For the Zero AMM Color line, it is sufficient to use 2% oxide, and for the Profession Permanent, as a rule, 6%, 9% and 12% developers are required.

With the help of paints of this group, you can select both individual strands, make an amber, and completely paint your hair. For convenience, all shades of this line are issued under the numbers, each number, as a rule, consists of 2-3 figures. The first is the number indicating the degree of saturation, in the second place is the figure indicating the primary tone, and the third figure indicates the secondary hue.

Marking "0" is interpreted as the absence of tone in this type of paint, or when its hue belongs to a natural palette. The shades belonging to the Blond Expert Highlift group, lightening the original color to 4-5 tones, are labeled 1000, after the point there are also numbers (1000.03 - natural golden blond, 1000.0 - natural blond).

Black color is marked with “1”. Colors that have brown shades, depending on the degree of tone, are marked “3”, “4” and “5”. Light-brown and light-brown shades are marked "6" and "7", respectively. Under indicated on the package "8", "9" "10" marked light shades. Secondary shades are also marked with numbers. For the ash color - “1”, pearl is marked “2”, golden “3”, copper “4”, mahogany “5”, red “6”, purple “7”, chocolate “8”, and the shade with a matte effect is indicated number "9".

Indola mixones are used together with the main dyes and are designed to give shade to the selected color. They are marked like paints. Today there are only 5 of them: ashen (0.11), mother-of-pearl (0.22), golden (0.33), copper (0.44), red (0.66).

In order not to be disappointed in the result, in addition to the desired shade or two, it is necessary to choose the right oxidizer with the right concentration.

For clarification on two tones, you can use 9% oxide, which can be mixed in a 1: 1 ratio.

For dark saturated tones, it is sufficient to use 6% oxide, which can be mixed in equal parts with the dye.This oxide concentration is also suitable for dyeing gray hair. If you want to change the hair color by just 1 tone, you should purchase 6% oxidizer and mix to the required amount, depending on the length and thickness of the hair with 1: 1 dye.

Weakened, thin and brittle hair require a more gentle approach, so it is better to use 2% oxide, which is mixed with dye in equal parts. It must be remembered that the dye and oxide can be mixed only in a suitable container. Glass or silicone ware is best suited for this process. When mixing, you should always use gloves, and use a special brush as a tool. To protect against the coloring matter of the skin in the hairline, you can use a greasy cream. The film formed on the surface of the skin will not allow the dye to penetrate into the pores, which means that it will not be necessary to scrub it after staining.

In order to avoid such troubles as a rash or redness, it is necessary to conduct a test. The prepared composition is applied to the inside of the elbow bend, if after half an hour of exposure and subsequent observation (36-48 hours) there is no reaction (reddening or burning), then this paint can be safely used.

Apply the composition to dry hair. If the tone is used for the first time, then the paint should be applied to the entire length of the hair, retreating 2-3 cm from the roots, after 10-minute exposure the paint is distributed to the roots. When re-staining the composition is applied directly to the root area, trying not to touch the rest. For tinting roots enough 25-30 minutes, after which the remaining composition is distributed over the entire length and left to act for 5-10 minutes. The total exposure time, as a rule, does not exceed 40 minutes.

After completion of the procedure, the paint should be washed off only with warm water to prevent leaching of the pigment. In order to keep the paint on the hair as long as possible, after the first coloring it is advisable not to wash your hair for 3-4 days.
