Types of tinting: what are they?

To choose a tinting product, you need to decide on color saturation and durability. Depending on these parameters, you will get gentle, light and intense.

• Gentle toning

For gentle toning, tinted shampoos are used. They have two properties - they cleanse curls of impurities and give a light tint. The products contain useful caring ingredients that nourish the hair. The color does not last long until you wash your hair again. Such products are best suited for girls with blond hair. They eliminate yellowness resulting from staining.

• Light toning

For this tinting, there are various foams, gels, and mousses. They have a richer color that lasts longer. These products also contain beneficial vitamins that improve hair structure. The choice of shades is wider than that of tinting shampoo.

• Intensive toning

Tonics and special paints that do not contain ammonia are used. This tinting changes the shade of the hair. The color spectrum that the cosmetics industry represents is the widest here.

Application and review of hair tonics was last modified: April 29th, 2016 by Gulya

Changing your hair color often without harming it is easy if you use a tint balm. The stores offer a large selection from professional brands to budget options with a varied palette of shades.

Tinted hair balms are the most popular among other toning products. They contain caring components and non-permanent dyes. When using them, the colored pigment does not penetrate the hair structure, but only envelops it from the outside. This explains the instability of this coloring - it will last for a couple of weeks, a maximum of a month.

Tinted hair balm (the palette allows you to choose light, dark, unusual colors) can color your hair within two tones. Owners of dark hair will not be able to radically change their hair color with its help. But the balm can hide gray hair and give a noble shade to your hair.

Advantages and disadvantages

How to choose a tint hair balm

When choosing a tint balm, you should adhere to the following rules:

• You also need to focus on the caring functions performed by the balm - getting rid of brittle hair, split ends, excessive oily scalp, and gray hair.
• If your hair has been dyed, you can choose a balm to match the color to maintain the color.
• An important rule is that you cannot lighten your hair using a tint balm. Brunettes and brown-haired women can choose from richer and darker tones - eggplant, plum, coffee, mocha, chocolate, various options of dark chestnut and copper, red. These colors, depending on the original, will either give a delicate shade and shine, or give a more saturated tone.
• When choosing the color of the tonic, it is worth remembering that the hair will become darker or brighter by only 2-3 tones.
• Blonde girls should remember that tonics look brighter on their hair. If there is no need to radically change the image, attention should be paid to beige, honey, and caramel tones. Sometimes golden shades on bleached hair can fade into yellow, and ashy shades can surprise with a greenish tint. Therefore, dyed blondes should first consult a hairdresser before choosing a tint balm.
• Girls with light brown hair can choose from light tones, which will enhance the natural color, or give it a delicate shade and shine, as well as from brighter shades.
• In order for the shade to match exactly, you need to find the manufacturer’s instructions on the packaging of the tinting product indicating what type of hair it is intended for - gray, bleached, dark, light.
• When purchasing a tint balm in specialized stores, you should ask for a catalog table with the division of shades by hair type with colored strands attached. This will simplify the selection process.

The last point does not apply to balms from professional brands that prolong long-lasting coloring.

Where to buy tint balm

Tinted balm (the palette of which allows you to experiment) can be bought in stores selling professional hair cosmetics (Concept, Kapous). In this case, you can look at the catalog table, which will make your choice easier.

On the shelves of many supermarkets in the hair care products section you can find popular brands of tinting balms (Tonica, L’Oréal, Color lux), some may come with catalogs.

You can also find tint balms in online stores selling cosmetics and related products. In this case, sales consultants can help with the choice.

On the official websites of manufacturers or online stores, a wide selection of products for non-permanent coloring is also presented. On websites you can often find unusual shades that are not always available in offline stores.

When choosing tinting products, it is important to carefully study the manufacturers' recommendations indicated on the packaging. This will avoid unsuccessful dyeing and will help you choose a balm for your hair type.

Dyes of vegetable origin

You can also change your hair color using vegetable dyes. The most popular of them are henna and basma. In addition, with the help of these natural dyes you can strengthen your hair and enhance its growth.

Henna is suitable when you need to get a shade from copper to honey-red. Basma will dye her hair black or dark brown. By mixing these dyes in different proportions you can get golden chestnut shades.

It is important to remember that both henna and basma give permanent coloring, and you can use hair dye or tonic only after completely washing it out of your hair.

• You can give a golden hue to light and brown hair using a decoction of onion peels. Half a liter of water will require 200 g of husk. The mixture must be brought to a boil, and then boiled for another 40 minutes. The decoction, cooled and strained through cheesecloth, should be applied to the hair for 30-45 minutes, then rinsed with water.
• You can add brightness and shine to blond hair or lighten it by 2-3 tones using chamomile decoction. You need to pour 50 g of dried chamomile into 0.5 liters of boiling water and leave for 45 minutes. Treat your hair with the cooled broth, wrap your head in a towel for 40-50 minutes, then rinse.
• You can lighten your hair with honey and lemon. It is necessary to add a tablespoon of honey to the juice squeezed out of half a lemon, mix everything thoroughly. The mixture is applied to the hair for 2-3 hours. You need to put a special dyeing cap on your head and wrap it in a towel. After time has passed, rinse the mixture from your hair. To get noticeable results, you need to carry out several similar procedures.
• A decoction of rhubarb will help give blond hair an ashy tint. Place half a kilogram of rhubarb in a saucepan, pour in a liter of cold water, bring to a boil and boil until the amount of liquid decreases. There should be ¼ of the original volume left in the pan.

It is important to remember that natural dyes are suitable for hair that has not previously been dyed with chemical compounds, with the exception of henna and basma.

Due to the huge selection of color palettes, accessibility and effectiveness, Tonic tinted balm is very popular among women. Using the balm allows you to safely experiment with your appearance, completely change your hair color or update your look using beautiful and varied shades.

Tonic balm has many shades and colors.

This cosmetic product has serious advantages over hair dyes and coloring shampoos.

In order to create a new image, many different means are used in modern cosmetology. Tint balm is considered the safest for hair coloring., because it does not contain ammonia. The coloring pigment covers the surface of the hair, preventing it from damage.

This gentle coloring helps to “protect” the hair from the negative effects of ultraviolet radiation and prevent color fading. Professionals recommend using a tint balm even if your hair has become lifeless. The natural components of the balm have a beneficial effect on the hair and restore its shine and softness.

Advantages

The composition of the Tonic tinted balm from Rocolor does not raise any concerns. Conventionally, all the components in it can be divided into natural, which have a positive effect on the hair, and chemical. The number of chemical components is reduced to a minimum.

Among the natural ones I would like to highlight:

• Beeswax– designed to form an invisible film on the hair. Split ends are smoothed out and hair becomes smooth. Thanks to this, the coloring becomes more uniform.
• Flax seed essential oil– helps in nutrition and hydration, helps to visually increase volume and make hair soft.
• Cetearyl alcohol(Ceteatyl alcohol) is a plant component that provides hair softness and moisturizes it.
• Lemon acid– helps to add brightness to color. It is especially relevant for light colors.
• Vitamins of group F– help maintain moisture in the hair.

The amount of chemicals in the composition is kept to a minimum. If we look at each component in detail, we can highlight a few.

Namely:

• Emulsifiers - are used mainly for mixing all the components of the balm.
• Sodium lauryl sulfate is a synthetic chemical component. It is used in almost all cosmetology. Sulfates perfectly cleanse, remove dirt from the hair and prevent the appearance of oiliness.
• Propylene glycol – promotes softness. Hair becomes manageable and combs better.
• Preservatives – prevent the growth of harmful bacteria and retain all the beneficial properties of the components.
• Fragrance - Used for a pleasant smell.

The undoubted advantages of Tonic tinted balm from Rocolor are:

• low cost;
• ease of use, easy to apply paint;
• washes off quickly if dyeing is unsuccessful;
• a wide range of shades for owners of any hair type and tone;
• no ammonia;
• hair does not require professional care;
• the color pigment does not have a negative effect on the hair.

Thus, the tint product from Rocolor helps not only to acquire a new look, but also treats the hair.

Possible disadvantages of using a tint balm

Although Tonic balm has many advantages, it is still impossible to ignore those disadvantages that may influence the choice of this product for coloring.

Namely:

• with very frequent use of the balm, the hair becomes dry;
• does not cover gray hair;
• paint is difficult to wash off from clothes and furniture;
• For the best effect, you need to constantly tint your hair;
• in the case of tinting hair that has previously been permed or dyed, the result may not coincide with expectations;
• Allergic reactions may occur. Therefore, before use, it is recommended to apply a small amount of balm to your hand and hold for several minutes. If rashes have formed on the skin, it is not advisable to use the balm.

To get a good result, it is important to choose the right tone and amount of balm to apply. A detailed description of the steps is included in the instructions for the product.

Tonic palette from Rocolor

The palette of Tonic tinted balm is very diverse in shades, so every woman can choose the right tone and update her look. You can use not only full coloring, but also coloring or ombre.

Balm shades are divided into groups. Each group has a number and is used for a specific hair color type. Groups start with the number 9 and end with 4.

Tonic is a tinted balm, the palette of which now includes a range of colors with biolamination.

The shades with biolamination are different, the opinions of both girls who love natural colors and those who like experiments are taken into account. For the latter, a new shade has been added to the palette - “Red Color” - 6.45. In the table, shades with biolamination are indicated in bold.

Balm with a biolamination effect promotes the formation of a protective film. It covers the hair and evens out all the scales. Hair gains shine and becomes smooth. Outwardly, they appear more voluminous and are easier to comb. Thanks to the protective film, the color does not wash off longer.

Choosing the right shade

Manufacturers of Tonic tint balm from the proposed palette recommend choosing a shade that will be closest to the “native” color. If paint was used, the color should differ by no more than 3 tones. For fair-haired people, it is advisable to use natural tones. They will give your curls a beautiful and well-groomed look.

In the color palette these are the numbers:

For dark-haired people, chocolate and coffee shades, black and purple colors will be relevant. They will add a beautiful shine to your hair and highlight the color. For fair-haired people, light colors are suitable. In the color palette this is, for example, pearl-ash.

Blondes are better off using cool tones, for example:

With the help of these colors it is easy to get rid of unpleasant yellowness and give naturalness to your hair. When using the balm on gray hair, it is possible to achieve a beautiful and rich tone.

If it is difficult to decide on the choice of shade, you can focus on the color scheme of the balm packaging. She is different. And this is not just an accident, the color of the packaging shows which hair will suit a particular shade.

Namely:

• Blue color of the packaging - shades are used for completely gray hair or to get rid of yellowness.
• Green color - shades are intended for brunettes, brown-haired and fair-haired women.
• Silver color – cool shades. Suitable for blondes only.

To achieve a beautiful shade, it is also important to stop dyeing with henna several months before using the balm. After chemistry or lightening, at least 2 weeks should pass. Compliance with these rules is necessary for uniform coloring and to avoid unexpected results.

If you have doubts about obtaining the desired effect from using the balm, you can try incomplete coloring. That is, dye the strands that are least noticeable. If you like the result, continue application.

Coloring rules

For uniform and beautiful coloring, you must remember the following recommendations for applying Tonic tinted balm.

Rules for application:

1. Before applying the dye, you must wash your hair. and dry it with a towel so that the hair remains damp.
2. To avoid getting dirty with liquid paint, open parts of the face and neck should be smeared with rich cream, and the shoulders should be covered with a special “cape”; at home, this may be unnecessary clothing. It is better to wear disposable gloves on your hands. The bathroom also needs to be protected. To do this, fill the bottom with water and pour 25 ml of bleach. If paint gets on the bathtub or tiles, it is necessary to wash it with any chlorine-containing cleaner for toilets and bathtubs.
3. Paint is applied from the back of the head to the temples, then the front of the head and bangs are painted over. To dye, you must use either a comb with fine teeth or a special brush. This will distribute the dye evenly and prevent liquid from dripping onto your face. The outcome of the coloring will depend on the correct application of the Tonic tinting balm. It is also important to choose the right amount of dye. To do this, before using the balm, you must read the instructions;
4. Time required for dyeing, depends on the color saturation in the end. If you want to get a light toning effect, 5 minutes will be enough. For dark-haired girls or to obtain a rich color, 10-15 minutes;
5. To get the final shade lighter than indicated on the package, before starting the dyeing procedure, it must be diluted with water or conditioner. This advice is only suitable when re-dying with the same balm. Otherwise, there is a risk of getting the wrong color.
6. You need to wash off the paint without shampoo until the water is completely discolored. Afterwards, you can apply a conditioner or rinse your hair with water using chamomile infusion or lemon juice. This rinsing will help consolidate the result and will contribute to the instant development of the shade.

Tonic is an affordable and effective tint balm, its palette of colors and the final result of coloring will certainly appeal to lovers of experiments. The main thing is to choose your shade and follow the application instructions.

In order not to get the effect of unpleasant yellowness when dyeing, or to get rid of it, you need to use Tonic balm with cool shades.

Namely:

• 10 or 9.10.

Amethyst is mainly used to cover gray hair, but it can also remove red hair, which is hated by blondes. Initially, you need to wash your hair and apply a hair mask. Next is rinsing with balm.

To do this, you need to dilute it with water in the proportion of 1 drop of balm per small ladle of water and rinse your hair with this solution. After rinsing, you can apply hair conditioner.

The principle of applying Tonic 8.10 and 9.10 is similar. The main thing is not to add a cosmetic coloring agent to the detergent (shampoo) and keep it without rinsing for no more than 7 minutes, otherwise the curls will acquire a purple tint.

How to wash off balm if dyeing is unsuccessful

If the desired result from coloring was not achieved and you absolutely do not like the resulting color, you can resort to a special product from Rocolor - Retonika. The only thing is that it will be possible to return your hair to its previous appearance only immediately after receiving an unwanted color.

Since the composition does not contain NH3 (ammonia), Tonic promotes the appearance of healthy shine in curls.

Proper care for colored hair

There are few recommendations for caring for strands after dyeing with a tint balm, since the cosmetic product itself nourishes the hair and does not destroy its structure. Proper care is needed to preserve color for a longer time.

Therefore, immediately after dyeing, in order to consolidate the result, it is recommended to apply a conditioner. When washing your hair, it is better not to use the usual shampoos with a high alkali content or intended for oily hair. They will help the color wash out quickly.

It is advisable to avoid using masks containing oils. They also eat away at the color pigment.

Professionals in the field of coloring recommend using tinted cosmetics to change the look. The use of the balm has a beneficial effect on the hair structure, and the effect of its correct use is equivalent to salon procedures. Special masks are also useful.

To get beautiful hair after Tonic tinting balm, it is important not only to decide on the color and apply the product correctly, but also to provide proper care, since with constant coloring with colors from the palette, even a harmless tinting balm, the hair can still be weakened by these care manipulations.

Painting with Tonic tinted balm:

Removing yellow hair with Tonic:

Tint products have long and firmly occupied a special place among cosmetic products for hair coloring. Their popularity is easily explained: tonics and balms are easy to use even at home, they cause much less damage to your hair and give your hair a beautiful color. Tinting light brown hair has its own nuances in choosing a palette and obtaining the desired shade. You can learn about all the features of the procedure from the article with eloquent photos of successful transformations.

What's happened

Any coloring with persistent professional compounds affects the structure of the curls. The dye penetrates deep into the hair shafts, so the new color lingers on the strands for a long time. Of course, such interference does not go unnoticed. It is fraught with dryness, brittle hair, hair loss and split ends. Typically, such consequences occur when the drug is applied incorrectly or when it is used frequently.

On short hair, coloring looks very interesting, in which the strands are colored with tonics of different shades, close to the natural tone of the hair. You just need to choose a cold or warm color scheme (depending on the color type of appearance). Owners of medium and long blond curls can experiment with a smooth transition from dark roots to light ends, taking for this purpose the appropriate tint products, taking into account the original color. The reddish edges of the strands that shimmer in the sun look beautiful.

If your hair is quite light, you can dye the root zone with a dark tonic, giving preference to natural colors of cinnamon or chestnut.

Features of toning

1. Do not use rich brown and purple-burgundy shades on light brown hair, otherwise you risk becoming the owner of too bright hair.
2. Do not try to lighten the natural color using tonic. The purpose of the product is to shade, not recolor.
3. Choose colors that differ from your natural color by 1-2.
4. If you've recently had a perm or henna dye, test the selected tint product on a couple of strands first. There is a possibility that you will not get the desired shade. You will have to postpone the tinting procedure for several weeks.
5. Ash, silver, gray are some of the most popular shades that are quite easy to achieve on light and brown hair. But they are very “capricious”: they are not suitable for everyone, they can make you look older and highlight flaws in your appearance.
6. To remove yellowness, there are special products with violet pigment. They are good if you choose a cool range of tones.

By the way. Sometimes semi-permanent dyes are used for tinting. They are not as gentle as balms and tonics, but the color after them lasts longer. Although the roots will still have to be tinted.

In order for the new color to please your eyes longer, do not wash your hair for the first couple of days. Avoid sun exposure and swimming pools, and do not use natural oils.

Don't expect a miracle: tonic is not a permanent dye, although it has some advantages over it. This product is optimal for girls who are concerned about the health of their hair and at the same time want to emphasize or change their natural light brown color.
