How to choose a tinted hair shampoo

  • Pay close attention to color. Of course, tinted shampoos will never drastically change the color of the hair. And yet, in order not to repeat the sad experience of Kisa Vorobyaninov, remember the effect of the “Itten color circle”. For a cold shade, you will need purple, blue, silver shampoos. A warm range will be presented with products with red and brown pigment.
  • Don’t Forget About Ingredients. It is clear that “chemistry” will prevail in it. But useful components will not interfere: panthenol will cope with the irritation caused by paint, organic oils will nourish the scalp.
  • For maximum effect, use shampoo and paint from the same company.. The same Matrix is ​​developing compositions that act “in pairs.” The shampoo maintains the durability of the pigment and at the same time cares for the hair.
  • Don’t neglect protective gear. It does not contain ammonia, so the skin will not suffer. And yet the pigment is able to eat into the fingers for a long time. To prevent this from happening, use gloves when washing. Self-respecting manufacturers put them complete with a bottle.

Advice from Alena Igosheva:

If you are the owner of a blonde, 2 weeks before the visit to your master, cancel the use of tint products. The master will be grateful to you, and you will keep the quality of your hair.

Popular questions and answers

Shares his experience with KP readers beauty blogger Alena Igosheva:

What is important to you when choosing a tinted shampoo?

Hue, potency and fragrance.

What is more effective – tinted shampoo or balm, in your opinion?

– Shampoo performs two tasks at once: cleansing and giving shade. The balm, on the other hand, acts a little longer, but contains restorative components for the hair structure and provides protection from sunlight.

Как часто можно пользоваться оттеночным шампунем?

– Some manufacturers recommend 1-2 times a week, others at least every day. But do not forget that tint products have the ability to accumulate pigments in the hair.
