Hair Style Tips – Hair Permanent tints.

Permanent hair tints actually do change the natural hair color. They contain certain ingredients that are able to alter the pigmentation balance.

These permanent tints or-dyes-are mixed with hydrogen peroxide and penetrate the cortex of the hair to chemically change its color composition. The new color is permanent, although some shades-red tones in particular-are prone to fading. When new growth appears at the roots, it will be necessary to have the color retouched. Depending on the speed of the growth, retouching may be necessary after just three to four weeks.

If you choose to have your hair tinted, you must be prepared to invest the time and money required for its upkeep. Other-wise, have your hair highlighted or low lighted instead, which will save you the trouble of regular retouching.

There are many home colorants available and most are clean, safe, and easy to use. Most coloring kits include the base tine, a peroxide solution, plastic gloves and an applicator. Some also include a small bowl for the mixed ingredients.

Hair color tints are always applied on to dry hair, and work best on hair that is in need of a shampoo. A patch test should always be carried out, following the manufacture’s instructions, to show if you have any adverse reactions to the product.

Leave the hair tint on for the recommended time. Comb it through the hair from the roots to the ends for the last five minutes, to ensure even tones. Don’t be deceived by the depth of color when the hair tint is on-it will be different when the hair is dry. rinse your hair thoroughly and then shampoo, and always use a hair conditioner after tinting.

When planning a radical color change, it is work having a professional job so that you will be sure that the new color is absolutely even. Be prepared to change your make-up colors to go with your hair color. And remember to consider how your eyebrows will look if you go from dark to light. A hair color tint that is just one or two shades away from your natural color is almost always successful, and introduces warmth and glow without too dramatic a change (right). To produce real blonde tones, bleaching is usually the answer.

Caring Hair Colors

To maintain colored hair, you should use a color specific shampoo and conditioner to prolong color and prevent color fade, such as the Jo Hansford Color Care range. You should also protect your hair from the sun as you would your skin, by keeping it covered when exposed to the sun, and using an intensive conditioning treatment weekly. Stay away from color care products that contain a ‘hint of tint’, as these will effectively change the color of your hair rather than maintain your new color in its best condition
