Gray tint hair products

Nowadays it is difficult to find a woman who does not care about the beauty of her hair. In addition to a healthy and well-groomed appearance, their color is of great importance. If he doesn’t like it or if fashion trends have changed, many people use hair dyes or more gentle means, they are called tonic by the people. Unlike resistant paint, it is unable to drastically change the color, but only change its shade. And today we will talk about gray tint hair products.

The number of shades of gray and their names depend on the manufacturer, but they can be divided into three main groups:

• Ash is the lightest tone. It can have a pure light gray color or, for example, cast in pink, like a pearl ashen. Also to this group can be attributed "Ash Blonde" with a noble platinum tint.

• Silver - more saturated, having a bluish sheen and steel shine. Can be found under the name "Pearl." Suitable for bold natures who follow fashion trends and are not afraid of experiments. But it should be remembered that any tint means is washed out much faster than paint and this color must be constantly kept in shape so that it does not fade.

• Dark ash is the darkest color in gray. It may also be called graphite. It can be used by those who want to stand out, and more restrained persons. In the first case, you can add blue, pink or purple strands. In the second version, you can leave a smooth color or make a fashionable amber from dark roots to light tips.

One of the advantages of tint means of any color range is the ability to change the color in more gentle ways than after resistant paint.

This can be done with a special wash, kefir with high fat content, burdock or castor oil, as well as lemon juice. However, it is worth remembering that the maximum effect will be achieved if you apply any of these funds immediately and leave for at least one hour. And to enhance the impact of a towel roll and warm hair dryer.

Most often, these tools are used by owners of light-colored hair, for example, blondes, or girls with light, golden or ash-blond hair. To give a cold shade they can be used even on red curls.

The most noticeable and varied result will be those who have bleached hair or natural blond. In this case, everything expected from the image on the package, shades and play will be visible.

However, it is necessary to pay attention that dyed hair can unexpectedly react to such coloring and give a completely unpredictable result. In connection with this fact, we strongly recommend testing on a separate strand and, if everything suits you, carry out a complete procedure. Another point that deserves attention is that it is better to use a tinting agent in a few days after painting with resistant paint.

For different versions of light brown hair you can add the desired pearl or silver shine, but you will not be able to radically lighten the hair. It is also worth noting that the darker the original color, the faster the tonic will be washed out and the appearance of the hair will change accordingly.

Red-haired ladies can also use such tools. They, like blondes, will be able to remove unnecessary copper shine and get a stylish cold tone. But at the same time, it is necessary to take into account that in order to maintain the expected effect, it will most likely be necessary to use a tint balsam with each shampoo. Otherwise, the redhead can return almost immediately.

An interesting effect can get those who have a certain proportion of gray hair. In this case, the natural color plays a minor role. The most important thing here is to competently combine colors and shades, as well as take into account that the effect on the dark hair will be minimal or not visible at all.

There is a fairly wide range of tint products on the market from inexpensive mass-market to professional representatives, which are much more expensive. Next, we will talk about the most popular brands from both categories.

Let's start with the professional, because they are much smaller, and they also have slightly different effects. Our list consists of three brands:

• L'ORÉAL PROFESSIONNEL - volume 250 ml. It gives shade, shine and neutralizes unwanted pigments on both blond and gray hair.

• BONACURE COLOR SAVE SILVER - volume 250 ml. It gives an ash tint and protects the original color. According to customers, it is used not only for bleached and gray hair (as the manufacturer recommends), but also for others, such as blond.

• INDOLA COLOR SILVER - volume 300 ml. It gives shade and cares. Buyers are distinguished by economical consumption and lower cost compared to other professional brands.

We now turn to less expensive tools. Their choice is much more, some palette of shades is offered, and also they are easier to find on the store shelves. These products include Irida tonics, Radiance of Color from Rocolor, Estel, Color Lux from Belita-Vitex, and the most popular one is Tonic.

Let us dwell in more detail on the tonic balms “Tonic” from “Rokolor”. They are very popular among customers and you can find quite a lot of reviews about them, which will help you choose the right shade to get the desired result.

So, the volume of 150 ml, balm has an active toning effect, and also eliminates yellowness. The gray scale is presented by the following shades:

• platinum blond;
• nacre;
• pearl ash;
• graphite.

Product reviews agree that the effect of the use strongly depends on the method of application. That is, for a more saturated tint, you should choose a method with a longer holding time and a large amount of balm.

Those who expect a light effect are recommended to start with the most unpretentious ways, for example, add a little money to the conditioner or shampoo. It is noted that with such an application, Tonika will be enough for two or three months.

Once again we will make a reservation that ammonia clarification or perm can give an unexpected result. Therefore, you should do a trial coloring on one strand, and, in addition, you can try several shades and choose the one that fits your hair better.

We now turn to the question of the direct use of tint. You will need gloves, a towel to protect your clothes, a comb, a sponge or a brush for applying the product and a container for diluting it with water.

Before mixing, you should read the instructions on the package to determine the proportions.Then you should comb, prepare the mixture and moisten the hair. Toning is recommended to start from the parting, moving down one side of the head. Then you need to throw the treated hair back and stain the remaining side.

Now you need to comb your hair again, massage until foaming, wrap with a towel, hold the required time (up to 30 minutes) and rinse with running water. Note that to get a light shade may be enough for a few minutes.

To eliminate yellowness and give a noble shine on bleached hair, you can try another way. Mix balm and shampoo in the proportion of 30% of the first and 70% of the second. Hold for 2 minutes and rinse.
