We can not say about the olfactory discomfort when using permanent dyes, when the whole process of staining has to endure the obsessive smell of ammonia. Although this side effect is inherent in absolutely any ammonia paint.
Composition
Ollin Professional dyes are unique in their composition products. Of the main active components contained in them, the following deserve special attention.
- Wheat proteins (phytokeratins) - these substances act as a building material, restoring the structure and improving the quality of hair. Under the action of phytokeratins, curls thicken, acquire a silky texture and beautiful healthy shine. Enveloping hair along the entire length, proteins also form a kind of barrier in the form of a film that protects against the negative effects of external factors.

It helps to control the production of subcutaneous fat and effectively fights against excessive oily hair.

It strengthens the hair roots, increases their volume, so that they look more well-groomed, moisturizes and nourishes, making it more elastic, smooth and obedient. Restores the structure of damaged, thinned as a result of repeated staining, bleaching or curling hair. Eliminates side effects after applying styling products - brittleness, split ends, dull color.

As for ammonia, although this ingredient is part of the means of Ollin from the series for permanent dyeing, it is present there in the minimum concentration. It is important to understand that the addition of ammonium hydroxide allows you to achieve consistent hair color with the correct tonality.

In the process of dyeing, the natural elements of the composition act in a complex on the curls, simultaneously performing a protective, regenerating and nourishing function.

Instructions for use
Although Ollin paints are primarily intended for use in beauty salon conditions, many successfully use them at home. Diagnosing hair before coloring repeatedly increases the chances of getting the perfect color without the help of a professional colorist. Diagnosis involves determining the condition of the hair (after blonding, lightening, bleaching, curling), their natural shade in the root zone, the level of depth of the tone over the entire length and tips. If necessary, you must also find out the percentage of gray hair to the total mass of hair. Hair before the procedure is not washed, and gloves are used to protect hands. The procedure for the primary painting:
- they take a non-metallic container and combine the dye and oxidizer in it in the right proportions, most often 1: 1.5;
- In order to obtain an intense color or light blond on a natural base, the coloring mixture is applied in two steps. First, the coloring mixture covers the length, not reaching 1.5-2 cm to the root zone, and then the remnants are distributed over the roots;
- for coloring one tone or darker the mixture is immediately treated with the entire length;
- the standard dwell time of the dye is half an hour, if the hair is gray, then hold it for 45 minutes;
- emulsify the dye on the hair: moisten them with water, churn the dye and distribute it over the entire head;
- washed hair under running water, then again with shampoo and finally treated with a color stabilization treatment.
When secondary hair coloring mixture is treated with the root zone. When the task is only to refresh the color of the curls, the composition is applied to the length 10 minutes before the exposure time set by the instructions ends.
To change the color of the mixture is distributed over the roots, immediately go to the length. It will also remain to emulsify the dye, wash it off and stabilize the color.
