How often can you dye your hair?

Fashion trends suggest not only changing the style of clothing and the emergence of new accessories, but also unusual hair colors. Therefore, it is not surprising that women of fashion, trying to get into the trend, are ready to follow such trends, quite often changing the tone of their hair with the help of modern dyeing technologies. But is it safe for hair - you should seriously think about it.

Most women decide to dye because of dissatisfaction with the natural color of their hair. Another reason for the popularity of this procedure is gray hair, an inevitable attribute of aging, and the young one always wants to stay. But before you implement your plans, you should familiarize yourself with the advantages and disadvantages of the process; perhaps someone will no longer want to change the natural tone of their hair.

Of course, there are the following advantages:

• painting is justified if your tone does not differ in depth, and with the help of this technology, the hairstyle will look more bright and attractive; but it is desirable to slightly deviate from the natural color, for this fit softer toning compositions, giving the desired shade;
• resistant paints - almost salvation for those who need to eliminate such defects as gray hair;
• with high oily hair dye will help solve this problem due to the drying effect;
• if the lady is aged, lightening will help rejuvenate the appearance.

Despite all the advantages, the procedure has such obvious disadvantages as:

• staining requires constant correction, as the roots grow back, the appearance of the hair becomes messy;
• additional care for colored strands is not limited to soft shampoos and conditioners - hair needs masks, protective agents that protect against external influences, that is, special moisturizing tonics, lotions and nourishing creams, otherwise curls look untidy, too fluffed, electrified, look not aesthetically pleasing;
• after painting it is necessary to exclude the use of stylers, tongs and hair dryers in order not to spoil the hair completely.

All sorts of dye compositions affect differently, but even if they contain a minimum of chemical components, their effect is detrimental to the hair. In fact, absolutely harmless dyes do not exist.

• The greatest damage is caused by dyes intended for lightening and bleaching, the most dangerous - dyes resistant, penetrating deep into the hair and paint over even gray hair. But no less destructive and compositions that can penetrate the cuticle. In them, the content of hydrogen peroxide and hydrogen nitride (ammonia) is about 90%. Constant application of the entire length makes the strands dry, damages the ends, causes a section. In addition, in dyes that dye dark, for example, black hair, besides ammonia, there are other harmful additives such as lead, you can imagine how aggressive they are in relation to the strands.
• Semi-permanent paints do not incorporate ammonia, while peroxide is present in an amount of 4.5%. They usually include emollient natural oils, but the harmful oxidation process does not exclude their presence.
• When toning, tint dyes are used, which, as a rule, are quickly washed away, in contrast to persistent formulations. But they are relatively safe - if you use them often, overdrying of hair still happens.

Natural basma and henna belong to the category of harmless dyes. These compounds are not able to cause hairstyle harm. Moreover, they improve the structure of the hair, and the color becomes brighter due to herbal ingredients, not to mention the stability of dyeing. The conclusion suggests itself: if it is so necessary to update the color or paint over gray hairs, it is better to choose less aggressive dyes.

To dye your hair without damage or with minimal risk of damage, you need to be able to properly assess their condition and correctly select the type of dye. Consider options that are suitable for different cases.

• If hair is bleached or lightening, it is logical to choose the appropriate stable composition. Such a procedure over the entire length of the hair should be carried out no more often than once every one and a half or two months. In this case, you need to carefully study the shade that was obtained during the first coloring. If a blend of a different shade is required on bleached hair, it should not be done immediately after dyeing - you first need to heal the hair. Growing roots can be dyed more often when bleaching, for example, once a month, while observing the instructions attached to the dye.

• Some grow gray roots very quickly - it happens within 2-3 weeks. This does not mean that you immediately need to take on sustainable, potent and indelible formulations. For 20 days, you can use less dangerous tonics for painting, which will make gray hair less noticeable, and after 2 months, repeat the use of resistant paint. Another tip - to mask the gray hair do not need to take too bright or dark shades, against which it will stand out even more.

• For sustainable coloring you can use less harmful formulations with useful additives and oils. Ammonia-free paints will not cause damage if they are applied every month. Usually, these are tonics, light in their texture and able to coat each hair in a different color without penetrating the cuticle. Such coloring gives excellent results - deep, natural color, shine, while curls perfectly styling.

• Tonics - Tint balms and shampoos without harm to the health of the hair, they are used every 10–14 days, and they are washed out 7–8 times. The meaning of the procedure is to envelop each hair with a thinnest film of pigment substance. Despite the seeming safety, the damage is also caused by such a dye - it increases the density of the hair shaft, prevents oxygen from entering the pores, so more often it is not recommended to use the product. When natural hair is painted with balsam, it is washed out even faster, and it is used once every 10 days, but keratin fibers are not loosened, in other words, they are not damaged, and this is the basis of the hair.

• Paints from natural plant pigments, such as basma and henna, are relevant for owners of brittle and split ends. To restore them, these dyes are used every 30 days. For those whose hair is oily, these tools must be applied every two months. To make the curls brighter, you can dye your hair every 20-30 days. Natural dyes have one more plus - they can be applied even by women carrying a child, but with the help of them it is impossible to lighten, but you can only give a beautiful shade to dark hair.Blond ladies also have the opportunity to use these dyes to get golden or chestnut tones; in particular, they should not use basma because it will make the hair unnaturally green. Professionals advise to add liquid vitamins (retinol and tocopherol), burdock oil and honey to the dyeing composition with basma and henna, thus avoiding overdrying of the strands.

In fact, you can avoid frequent painting, but To do this, you must comply with the following reasonable requirements:

• it is necessary to select high quality dyes, after which the color is retained for a long time; moreover, they often contain useful oils that allow not to overdry hair;
• it is desirable to wash your hair as little as possible so that the color does not wash out; You can use special shampoos and conditioners that maintain the brightness of the tone;
• dandruff shampoos should not be used because they have a high ability to wash off color;
• red and red shades of colors that turn out to be regularly restored become the fastest; perhaps it makes sense to choose different tones.

Alternative to the classical coloring can be other modern technologies of color change - sparing ways of uneven dyeing curls. These are similar trends, which are characterized by darker roots, stretching hues and smooth color transitions. This, of course, is about such innovative procedures as ombra, balayazh and shatush.

But the rules of hair care after dyeing remain unchanged - this is the rejection of heat exposure, the use of a comb with rare teeth, careful attitude during washing and after it, the use of nourishing and moisturizing agents.
