Сrazy Color do not hold very well, but it is easy to apply, the shades are normal, although not very bright.

These dyes do not spoil the hair at all.
The shabby colored washcloths on the head are not from color, but from cheap bad discoloration and lack of grooming.

Tried L "Oreal Colorista- their blue with a green tint, the hair from these paints is not a fountain in quality. After Directions, they are generally silk, there is something to compare with :)

Also now popular paints Anthocyanin (Anthocyanin)- a huge palette of colors, they hold perfectly, the hair does not spoil, it even heals, better than after this paint, my hair has never looked. There are two problems with them:
- This is not a home option. A long, multi-stage heating / cooling process ... it is best done in the cabin. Salons with this paint are not in every city.
- If you paint from the roots in a rich color, then the scalp is also painted, it looks terrible and for a very long time, several weeks, in pieces, is washed off. It cannot be wiped off with special agents for paint. But for the ends, Anthocyanin is a great choice!

Still very popular Pravana... It does not flow over one another, it can be painted with layers, stripes, stars, leopard. If anyone has tried it, please tell us.

Third: colors and shades

For the last reason, I switched to more dark color: to discolor once every two weeks is unrealistic, and walking two weeks out of four with such a specific parting is horror.

Hot pink

For the same reason, I decided to paint the roots purple and the ends pink.

Bright purple

And then they didn't bring either purple or pink to the store where I always buy paint. I saw Directions Neon Blue, and in the jar it is quite purple. I took it, dyed it, and ... turned blue :) And I really liked it!
But blue is the finish. The most difficult of all that I have had.

Blue colour

Fourth: How to live with pink / blue hair and so on.

1. Will you be able to devote enough time to maintaining color and hair in decent shape:
1.1 Discoloration every 4 weeks
1.2 Refresh color after every 3-4 shampoos (applies to light shades)
1.3 Grooming and haircut - twice as thorough as with regular hair... On bright ones, any defect is visible.

However, there are solutions to these points:
2.1.1 After about six months, I stopped noticing increased attention altogether. My friends and parents notice (" Those girls over there turned their heads, stumbled already ..."), me not.

2.2.1 For me, being pink / purple is like being brown-haired, absolutely natural. What if I had naturally blue hair? Well, what can you do. I look sucks, there is no mood to paint / fit in - well, okay, I'll go like this :)

2.3.1 I was very afraid of negative stereotypes. And then she accepted it as inevitable. Now I am confident enough in myself as a person not to make excuses for my appearance.

2.4.1 At this point, only patience and confidence in your decisions helps. 2011-2012: Vogue with Lady Gaga with pink hair on the cover, InStyle cover with Katy Perry with violet hair, Chanel advertising campaign ... everyone rushed to dye their ends, all her glossy magazines began to appear with multi-colored hair ... Actually, I clearly got into the trend, well, a year earlier :) I was so firmly convinced that this decision was mine, real and correct, that the comments did not hurt, but rather surprised. I am very interested in what these critics would say now :)

3. Why do you need to paint in a bright color?

Here's the truth, why? This is so much work, effort, problems.

To stand out? Not to be "like everyone else"? To cope with depression and change something in your life? Straining to put on an image, just not to merge with the crowd or through the external push yourself to internal changes? If this is not YOUR image, you will be unhappy and unhappy. With the most perfect and beautiful pink hair that everyone curls their necks around. Happiness is not in being outwardly unique, especially since multi-colored hair is by no means exotic. No personality from pink hair has become multifaceted. Maximum is a colored dummy.

If the desire to change the appearance so radically does not come from problems, but from the heart, then it is right!

update from 2017:
- I got tired of discoloring the roots every month, and I switched to highlighting every four months. The scalp thanked me. The growing roots look adequate, smoothly turning into blue. The optimal solution, I don’t even know how I didn’t think of it before!

- I paint Directions Midnight / Neon Blue both with a strong purple hue, which corrects yellowness (and it sometimes happens even with the most careful bleaching). This shade goes away in three shampoos and turns out as in the photo above.

I tried L "Oreal Colorista - their blue with a green tint, the hair from these colors is not a fountain.

From generation to generation, fashion changes so rapidly that it is almost impossible to keep up with it.

How to paint hair at home

As mentioned earlier, monochromatic staining is easy to do on your own. To achieve a clean and high-quality result, you need to adhere to the following recommendations.

To get started, prepare the following set of tools at hand:

• comb;
• a bowl of plastic or ceramic;
• gloves;
• a cape on the shoulders;
• vinegar;
• brush;
• coloring preparations;
• bleaching cream;
• a cap on the head;
• fat cream.

Now we start the painting process itself.

Brunettes and other dark-haired young ladies need to discolor the strands for a rich effect. If you want to get a slightly bluish glow, you can skip this step. Before applying the bleaching cream, carefully read the instructions on the package. After the required time has elapsed, rinse it off with ordinary running water, after which do not apply the balm. So the horny scales will remain open, which will increase the penetration of the dye composition deep into the hairs. At the end, dry your hair thoroughly, modern paints are not friendly with moisture.

Advice! Be prepared for the fact that as a result of improperly performed discoloration, your hair may turn greenish. If you doubt your own abilities - do not risk it, use the services of a master.

• Cover ears, forehead and neck with petroleum jelly or fat cream to prevent the composition from being absorbed into the skin.
• Prepare the dye solution according to the instructions, and cover your shoulders with a cape.
• Divide the hair into 3-4 zones, each of which is carefully treated with a brush with a coloring agent.
• After all the paint is on the strands, collect them in a bunch and cover with a warming cap. This activates the reaction faster.
• After 30-40 minutes (this time is indicated in the instructions from the manufacturer), wash your hair with shampoo, then rinse your hair with vinegar solution (it will fix the shade).
• Wipe off the cream with a cotton pad. If the pigment does penetrate the skin, it can be removed with rubbing alcohol.

After dyeing, your hairstyle needs careful maintenance. Refresh the color with a toning shampoo at least once a week. Also, 1-2 times for 7 days, use regenerating masks, do not forget about balms and conditioners, because the ammonia in coloring products makes the hairs brittle and deprives them of vital energy. It will not be superfluous to drink a course of vitamins.

The best paints and tint balms

There is a wide selection of coloring compositions on the market that allow you to transform. Each offer differs in price, duration of the effect, and respect for the curls. Consider the most popular tint shampoos, paints and tonics:

Suitable even for gray strands, withstands from 3 to 7 shampooing processes;

• Anthocyanin is a dye without ammonia, in addition to coloring properties it has a lamination function. Restores curls due to the useful components included in the composition. In particular, amino-fruit acid increases the durability of staining, an antiseptic prevents the development of allergic reactions, keratin penetrates deep into the hair, making it stronger, and essences from medicinal plants and plant proteins make the strands more elastic and protect them from exposure to ultraviolet rays. In the palette there are 4 representatives of blue: black and blue, deep blue, sky blue, with a steel sheen.
