More than half a century Palette hair dyes are successfully sold in Germany and in 50 countries of the world, demonstrating their popularity among women who prefer to put their hair in order. The original formula has improved over the years, changing the composition, color palette and shades. But reviews of products created by the German company Schwarzkopf, invariably sound in a positive way, including due to the high level of quality control, which allows to standardize products manufactured worldwide.
In Russia, the brand produces the lightening paint "Fitoliniya" and other popular Palette series, allowing you to select shades according to the types of appearance typical of residents of northern countries. Cold tones that give delicate blonding compositions, copper and red, chocolate and the colors of the raven wing - the palette of colors is so diverse that it allows you to find your solution to both ladies with early gray hair and those who are dissatisfied with the external data given by nature. But paying attention to the bright individuality of the compositions, do not forget that each tool has its own characteristics, advantages and disadvantages.
Features
German Palette from the first days of its production is made from the highest quality natural raw materials and chemical ingredients that are subject to careful selection. The manufacturer pays great attention to these moments, the composition is regularly updated with new useful ingredients. Among the most popular avocado oil, the most valuable source of fatty acids that can saturate hair with shine, make them alive and strong. In addition, the composition has orange oil and argan - natural antiseptics that have the ability to regulate the oily skin of the scalp.
Herbal extracts are also not forgotten by the manufacturer. In the Fitoliniya series, Palette experts even went for an unprecedented experiment, using the power of plants as the main ingredient of the coloring composition. The result of this symbiosis was the emergence of tools that can not just change color, but also heal hair.
An important feature of all colors of the brand is their implementation in ready-to-mix ingredients sets. In the classic line, components can be represented without a special tube for connecting all the components. But in newer products this point is taken into account: no need to soil hands and dishes, everything is as hygienic as possible.
Under the Palette brand, three types of coloring compositions for hair care are produced.
- Tint or light toning. Gel-like compositions give the stated color for a short time. You can completely wash it off after only 6-8 visits to the shower. The line of shades is focused on actual base tones. The paints are distinguished by a sparing effect, penetration inside the hair is excluded, allowing you to achieve minimal destructive contact with the structure of the strands.
- Semi-resistant They are washed away a month after staining, allow you to change the shade by 1-2 steps, but not tone. The series of products is called Color & Gloss, and they are considered rather as caring, allowing to saturate the curls with glitter and radiance.
- Persistent. The color will remain unchanged for several months - this is the promise Palette gives its fans.All the most popular product series of this German brand have a formula that is resistant to leaching. But as the roots grow, in any case the hair will have to be tinted.
Advantages and disadvantages
Among the advantages that Palette paints possess, one can single out a number of characteristics.
- Budget cost. Brand products are indeed designed for the mass market segment, but at the same time created in a convenient format, have a wide network of distributors throughout the country.
- Full quality control. There is a hotline for consumers, all products are tested, the ingredients meet the most stringent European standards.
- A wide selection of colors and shades. Depending on the series, these can be popular, natural or fashionable colors.
- The presence of natural, useful and nourishing components in the composition. Natural oils help protect the hair when dyeing, facilitate combing, give the effect of recovery after it.
- Maximum ease of use. Even an inexperienced person in the field of coloring can cope.
- Thick texture. The paint has a creamy structure, does not flow, it fits perfectly on the hair. You can easily calculate the consumption of the composition, taking into account the length of the hair - curls to the shoulders will require the purchase of a second package of the product.
- Continuous improvement of the formula. Those who do not change the brand over the years can see this very well.
- The effectiveness of painting gray hair. Almost all Palette paints cope with this task 100%.
- A variety of levels of resistance. You can choose the maximum or minimum shower that flushes through a few dozen visits.
Not without flaws. In Palette, they, like most resistant dyes, are quite the same. In the majority of the series there is ammonia in the composition, which gives a strong unpleasant smell to the product applied to the hair. The problem is partially solved by the presence of ammonia-free products.
Another point - the discrepancy between the actual color and the shade on the package. Here, a lot of things depend on whether the already tinted or natural hair is dyed, the characteristics of the original color.

Instructions for use
The use of Palette cream paint at home is as simple as possible, allowing each woman to carry out a toning procedure for strands of any length without any help.
The main thing is to study in advance how much it is necessary to keep the composition on the hair, as well as to carry out a test on the crook of the elbow, if ammonia dye is used.
Correctly executed sequence of actions is a guarantee of a good result.
- Mix the ingredients, pre-protected hands with gloves. If the kit does not provide a special bottle with a screw-on tip (dispenser), it is worth preparing non-metallic dishes (glass, ceramic). The finished composition is rapidly oxidized in the open air, you should immediately proceed to staining.
- Comb the hair in a straight parting, paint over the roots, transferring the mass of hair in rows sideways. Pre-shampooing is not required.
- After the roots are stained, it is necessary to evenly distribute the mixture over the entire length of the strands, trying to achieve complete coverage of the entire mass of hair.
- At the completion of the procedure, the hair is fixed by a knot at the top of the head with hairpins (if they are long). Cover them with plastic, insulation is not required.
- The recommended duration of exposure is 30 minutes. When bleaching dye is aged for 35 minutes.
- After the prescribed time, it is necessary to thoroughly wash the hair in warm running water until the liquid is completely transparent - there should be no traces of paint.After that, if the kit includes air conditioning, it is applied to the hair for 5 minutes.
When dyeing Palette means it is almost impossible to predict the actual resulting shade of hair. That is why it is recommended to use the tools of the same gamut several times to obtain the optimal result. On thin hair, the color will be brighter, on the damaged and split ends it will be paler than on the bulk of the strands.
Reviews
Palette hair dyes receive rather inconsistent feedback from buyers. Despite the fact that for the budget price segment it was quite successfully adapted by the manufacturer, the quality of the compositions in the mass market leaves much to be desired. Corrosive chemical base often causes allergic reactions. For damaged, split ends, dyeing can be a source of problems such as increased loss, breakage of the strands, and general deterioration.
Another source of complaints is uneven staining. Color on the packaging very rarely coincides with the actual result of staining.
But those consumers to whom the paint came up, note a wide range of shades of natural and fashionable range, ease of application and, indeed, the budget cost. All this in the complex makes the Palette product line in demand and popular in Russia.
