Most girls will not give up on hairstyle experiments if they want to look bright, unusual and unique. However, frequent coloring of the curls is harmful and destroys the hair structure at the cellular level. It is for those who love to change their style often and at the same time monitor the health of the strands, famous cosmetic brands offer tinted hair products.
What is tint?
Often there is an opinion that toning preparations differ from ordinary paint only in durability. However, in fact, tinted cosmetics are completely different products that do not contain as many chemical ingredients as paints and have a lot of advantages over them.
By tinting hair refers to a whole collection of drugs. They have a mild effect, have a special cosmetic composition, so they do not destroy the hair structure. In the process of painting, the pigment delicately envelops the hair with a colored film, which is gradually washed away upon contact with water.
And if it seems that the difference between a normal paint and a tinting agent is only in durability, it is not at all like that: shampoos, balms, crayons, pencils and ink belong to the “tonic”.
Balms
Tint balms - the most gentle group of cosmetic preparations. In fact, these are the usual hair balms, which include a coloring pigment, giving the desired tone to the curls. Difference from paint is the absence of ammonia and other harmful components.
This makes cosmetics decorative and therapeutic: tonal balms allow not only to change the image, but also to restore the hair vitality after styling using irons and hair dryer.
They are suitable for any type of hair, make the tone not too noticeable and natural, and take care of the strands.
Shampoo
Shading cosmetics in the form of shampoos and foams differs from their counterparts in that ammonia, hydrogen peroxide and other active chemical components (sulfates) may be present in its composition. The procedure of dyeing curls with this tool takes a little time, and the result is often obtained brighter than when using a balm (due to the chemicals included in the composition).
Depending on the manufacturer, tinting shampoo can be quite persistent: the color of the pigment sometimes lasts on the hair for more than a month.
Toning dye is interesting because it does not contain ammonia, which opens scales and activates chemical processes inside the hair.
The percentage of oxidizer in the composition is small, but it is quite enough to change the shade of curls.
Crayons, pencils and mascara
Crayons, pencils and mascara - means with a one-time effect. They are ideal in specific cases when you want to make a special impression, but there is no desire to spoil the hair by dyeing.This series of cosmetics has the shortest effect: usually the coloring pigment is washed off already after the first - the second wash of the head.
More often they paint individual strands, distributing the agent along the length.
What is called tonics?
The name "tonic" is associated with the name of the trademark LLC "Company Klever", which produces tonic cosmetics for hair. Tonic is a coloring balm, a tint of a creamy texture that can change the curl's own color to a few tones.
Such cosmetics is popular, it is easy to use, and, in addition, it has a line of means to neutralize the undesirable effect in the form of a shampoo.
Functions and views
The whole range of tint means is divided into sparing, light and deep impact. Toning preparations themselves do not cause serious harm to the health of the hair. However, girls often brighten their hair to achieve a brighter and more saturated color. This is due to the fact that all hair tint cosmetics is not used as a brightener.
Her task is to give a noble accent (even an unusual color) for a short time.
Bleaching significantly damages the health of the strands: they often become dry, brittle and lifeless. In this case, toning temporarily gives the locks a beautiful and healthy appearance: due to the vitamins and nutrients that make up the coloring products, the locks acquire the necessary hydration and nourishment.
But curing agents cannot cure completely dried strands at the cellular level.
In addition to staining, cosmetics without ammonia may have a different effect. For example, a seboregulatory tonic eliminates excessive greasiness; a professional tonic activator of hair growth is used as a brightener if you need to isolate individual strands. Some cosmetic products include anti-hair loss ingredients.
Professional tint preparation provides hair care. Its composition may differ from the rest and include useful components. Such cosmetics are used by the masters in the salons, performing various toning techniques, whether it is vertical coloring, contrast play, or the ombre effect.
Some coloring pigments (special paints, gels, mousses) can last on curls from one to two months. Foams and shampoos affect the strands during shampooing, so girls increase their exposure time.
The use of tinting paints resembles the procedure of ordinary coloring. Crayons, pencils are decorative cosmetics, which is desirable to wash off before bedtime.
Shading means are suitable for hair of any type, length and volume, they can include components that facilitate combing and can be used for:
- melirovanny locks and tips of hair;
- painting over gray hair;
- weak, thin and brittle hair;
- dark and light curls;
- giving volume to a hairstyle;
- strengthen the strands.
The main function of tint pigments is to change the image of a girl. Due to the huge choice of colors, they are able to satisfy any vagaries of the fair sex.
However, with all the advantages of such cosmetics has a small minus. Hair covering (presence of pigmented film) makes air circulation somewhat more difficult. Specialists working in the cabin, do not recommend using tint tools all the time: strands need rest to restore natural strength.
Forms of release
Depending on the variety of coloring means, trademarks produce different beauty products. The modern cosmetic market offers different forms of release: balsam-tonic, spray-tonic, tonic-masks, mousse-tonic, shampoo, crayons, pencils, paints, mascara.
Each tool has a different method of application and consistency density.For example, the spray is lighter and more fluid, the texture of the shampoo is thicker, it has a creamy balsam, so it is more convenient in dyeing than its counterparts.
However, there are no clear rules in choosing cosmetics: every woman of fashion chooses what she likes more.
How hair is affected: benefits and properties
Tint hair products are very popular. This is not to say that they are completely harmless or destructive. It all depends on the type of drug, manufacturer and method of toning.
Undoubtedly, it is more intelligent cosmetics than paint.
However, she has her own rules. It is important to keep in mind that you can not use this makeup immediately after lightening (bleaching) hair, chemical perm or dyeing with Indian henna. Hair needs some time to restore its structure.

The effect of hair coloring does not last long; the paint is washed off with each shampooing or upon contact with water (for example, in the pool). This allows you to update the style by adding new shades to the color of the curls or completely changing the tone of the strands.
- Shading means for hair differ in the sparing type of coloring. Most of these products do not contain ammonia and other hair-destroying substances. Where chemical components are, nevertheless, their concentration is much lower than in paints.

Does it gray hair?
Gray hair is an unpleasant nuance that spoils the female hairstyle. And although it is believed that tinted cosmetics do not do very well with the coloring of gray hair, some drugs are quite capable of correcting the imperfection of hair, hiding the difference between roots and length. The effect of the pigment is short and is washed off upon contact with water, but toning helps out if it is not possible to make a wash (if you wish to grow your own curls color).
However, there is a small nuance here: it is necessary to dye curls all the time, as the pigment is washed off very quickly from gray hair. In addition, the dye can give the strands an unpleasant yellowish tint. With constant masking of gray hair, you can change the structure of the strands, no matter how harmless the means.
Attention - to the composition
When buying hair tint cosmetics, you should take a closer look at the composition of the preparation indicated on the bottle or package. It is important that the percentage of harmful components is minimal.

Other preparations include active gloss formula with white flax extract, providing natural radiance. In addition, you need to select products based on the type of colons (for normal, dry, thin, greasy hair).
