Kinds
The essence of decapsing, that is, washing the dye with the strands, is that coloring pigments are removed from the porous structure of the hair shaft. The main task in this case is the maximum possible return to the hair color, which was before the moment of their coloring.
The wash can be superficial, deep and natural, the difference between them is as follows.
Surface decapsing
Coloring pigments are removed only from the surface layers of the hair shaft, while its inner layers are not affected. This gentle wash will help to change the shade of the strands to a lighter one, but only by 1-2 tones. The active ingredients are only acidic components, without the use of ammonia and hydrogen peroxide.
Deep
This is a professional paint remover for any color using chemical preparations containing ammonia or hydrogen peroxide. These components penetrate deep into the hair shaft and radically remove dye pigments. Deep decoupling consists in the fact that under the action of the drug the coloring pigment molecule is compressed to very small sizes or is completely destroyed, which facilitates its leaching from the scales of the hair.
This procedure must be performed professional master as with the wrong use of chemicals you can very dry out and injure your hair. Immediately after staining, the washing cannot be done, you will have to wait at least two weeks, and only then proceed to the procedure.
But often it is also not recommended to do decapsing with chemical preparations because of the danger of ruining the hair, and even losing it.
Natural
It can be performed using folk remedies, independently at home. Natural wash - harmless, you can use it quite often, and literally the next day, after dyeing the hair. Radical effect, as from the use of chemicals, natural remover does not, the hair will be lighter than 1-2 tones, nothing more.
Means for decapitation are used when washing permanent paints, it should be noted that it is not recommended to use them after dyeing hair with basma or henna, as the result can be unpredictable.
Performance technique
If you are going to wash your hair yourself at home, then no matter what ingredients you will use for this procedure, The execution technique will look like this.
- Before you apply the composition to the hair, you need to do an allergy test, for this, one drop of the product is applied to the wrist area and the skin’s response is monitored for an hour. If redness and skin rash does not appear, it means that the tool can be used.
- Means for washing should be applied to dry strands, while before the procedure, washing the head is not required.
- During the procedure it is best to use filtered or softened boiling water.
- Liquid mixtures are recommended to be applied to the hair with a sponge, and thick - with a brush.

Nuances of washing different hair colors
In the process of decapitation, pigments of different colors are washed out in different ways. Black and red shades are considered the most difficult to wash, as the composition of paints contains combinations of red, green and yellow pigments. The darker and richer the color, the harder it is to get out of it in a lighter tone..
Practically all universal permanent colors are designed so that they can be used by people with gray hair, and, therefore, their composition will contain a very large amount of pigments. Professional dyes are more selective - they are divided into ordinary dyes and dyes for gray hair.
Wash off universal paint and paint for gray hair will be more difficult than a professional dye for ordinary hair.
Let's take a closer look at the nuances and ways of washing the paint of the most complex shades.

Recommendations
In order to properly do decaping at home, it is necessary to follow the instructions clearly, if it is a chemical or acid remover, and observe the exposure time of the compositions on the hair if you use natural ingredients.In the process of preparing working compositions do not use metal utensils, and also do not use metal combs - the metal enters into a chemical reaction with the components of the wash, and the results may be unexpected.
It is necessary to understand that restoring your natural hair color after lasting dyeing is a difficult and difficult task. A whole series of washing procedures will be required, especially in the case when it is necessary to remove the pigments of dark and red dyes.
It is possible to use products containing aggressive acids, alkali, ammonia, hydrogen peroxide, no more than once every two months. All these components dry out not only the hair, but also the scalp, so after such washes it is necessary to make nourishing masks with oils and moisturizing ingredients so that your hair does not dull and does not break off.
Deep decoupling is best done by an experienced master who can accurately measure the necessary ingredients and evenly apply them to your hair. If you begin to make such a wash yourself, then there is a large share of the likelihood that the straightening will be spotted, and it will be very difficult to correct this situation in the future.
The process of decoupling is always stress for the hair, especially if they are weakened and damaged. Removing the pigment from the hair shaft makes it empty and fragile, and this void needs to be filled with something. In addition, in the process of using the wash, especially the professional one, your natural shade also becomes discolored, therefore, after the procedure, the hair will have to be tinted or subjected to staining with permanent dyes.
Before dyeing, you need to wait 2-4 weeks, this time will be enough for the hair and scalp to restore its water-fat balance. Experienced colorists in the process of dyeing hair weakened by repeated washes add special oils to the paint that prevent the hair shaft from drying out and additionally nourish it.
