Paint for thin hair with gray hair. What paint is good for covering gray hair? How and what to choose? Henna and basma coloring

Many of the fair sex perceive gray hair as a sign of old age. However, gray hair is also found at a young age (for example, at 30 and even 20 years old). This phenomenon is directly related to the production of a coloring substance - melanin (or rather, with its lack), can be completely diverse.

To solve the problem, the cosmetic industry offers a variety of hair dyes that paint over gray hair (both chemical ones - from famous brands and natural origin). What paint to choose and what should I pay attention to? What products can be used as natural dyes?

What color to paint over gray hair

• For 100% gray hair coverage, it is desirable that the composition of the product includes ammonia (or a substitute) and 6-9% oxide. This recommendation is especially relevant for owners of coarse hair.
• The thicker the hair structure, the higher the concentration of dye and the percentage of oxide should be.
• If quantity gray hair is about 50% from the total mass and by themselves they have a light shade (blonde, light brown, reddish), preference should be given lighter shades. This will avoid the need for frequent staining of the roots.
• If gray hair completely covers the head, staining is recommended in even lighter colors on which regrown gray roots do not stand out.
• If the hair has dark color by nature and at the same time the percentage of gray hair is small, you should use more dark shade paints.

Attention! Before the staining procedure, experts recommend a small test for an allergic reaction. To do this, mix 1 tsp. coloring agent with 1 tsp. detector and mix. Next, the product should be applied to a thin strand (for example, near the ear) and left for 20-30 minutes, then rinse with water. If after 24 hours the scalp turns red and begins to itch, the use of this paint is unacceptable. If everything is in order - there is no allergy to paint.

Ammonia-free paint for gray hair

Ammonia-free paints contain more gentle substances in their composition, unlike those that contain ammonia. These include:

How to paint over gray hair at home

• Coloring with coffee- the method is perfect for brunettes. To do this, you need to apply 3 cups of warm coffee (without milk and sugar) to your hair and sit in the sun for about an hour, then rinse in the usual way. The procedure must be repeated every day for several weeks.
• Henna and basma coloring- first you need to correctly determine the proportions of both agents (it is not recommended to use them separately on gray hair). The more henna, the more red will be the shade. The more basma, the darker it will be (closer to black). Before full coloring, you need to experiment on a small strand. This will save you from unwanted consequences. Then you can proceed directly to dyeing: having decided on the proportions of henna and basma, the mixture must be evenly distributed over the hair and wait 40 minutes or longer (depending on the thickness of the hair, thick ones are stained more slowly).

Important! Henna and basma coloring can be used only if there is not a lot of gray hair (up to 30%). In other cases, the use of these funds is contraindicated. since the output may be a poisonous indelible color.

Coloring gray hair is a rather laborious and energy-intensive process, especially when there are too many of them (more than 50%). Therefore, the choice of paint (chemical or natural) should be approached with all responsibility, choosing the best one (in terms of quality, color fastness, effectiveness of painting over gray hair, etc.).

It is better, of course, to turn to a specialist for this, who will not only help you choose the right shade, but also save money and time. It is also important to remember that the shade indicated on the package will not always correspond to the final result.

In addition, gray hair is possible, do not stop at one thing.

Age-related changes affect every woman, someone earlier, and someone later. They are also reflected in the condition of the hair - gray hair appears, due to a decrease in the production of melatonin - a natural coloring pigment that nourishes the hair and makes it that shade that you are so proud of. Premature bleaching of hair forces modern fashionistas to use paints. Manufacturers feel the demand and offer an extensive number of different brands and products to avoid losing the beauty and health of hair.

Its composition includes natural substances, including cocoa butter, which nourishes the hair from the inside and makes the strands shiny and soft. It features a diverse palette - 100 beautiful shades + 6 color enhancers. Gives the hair an even and rich shade. Among the minuses can be noted the rapid loss of gloss.

"Loreal Professionnel Color Supreme"

This tool will cost a very serious amount, but believe me, the purchase is fully justified. The effectiveness of this paint is at a very high level - it works even in cases where gray hair has affected more than 80% of the hair. Loreal Professionnel Color Supreme contains Densilium-R, a special substance that strengthens the roots, thickens the strands and restores their structure.

Permanent paint with rowan extract can be safely called the most affordable. Her average price is 100 rubles, but the result will be rich, bright and incredibly persistent. The palette has 30 different tones. The only drawback of "Rowan" is a strong ammonia smell, which does not disappear during the entire staining procedure.

"Matrix Color"

It contains lipids and phytosterols, which are involved in a deep renewal of the structure of the strands, as well as a considerable amount of color pigments that contribute to lasting coloring.

Professional dyes for graying hair cannot do without "Anthocyanin Second Edition", a new dye with an incredibly bright palette and a laminating effect. This cosmetic product is based on plant extracts that promote deep coloring. The tool pleases with a light aroma and gives the strands shine. Unfortunately, it is difficult to wash off the skin.

There is no ammonia in the composition - the procedure takes place with the participation of a long infrared spectrum wave, which lifts the scales, passing pigment into them.

Rules for dyeing gray hair

To use paint without harm to your hair, remember these few rules:

• Determine the number of gray strands. If there are more than 50%, you need to choose the proportions in a ratio of 1: 1.5 (oxygen / paint). At 70% gray hair, the proportions are distributed in a ratio of 1: 1;

• Analyze their distribution. If the gray hair breaks through evenly and does not exceed 50%, feel free to use paints marked “for painting up to 50%”. If it appears in islands, use products without ammonia;
• Set the nature of the gray hair and the stiffness of the strands. For painting glassy hair, the proportions are 2: 1. Women with soft hair can stop at 1:1 proportions. They need to take the dye a tone lighter than desired;
• The staining procedure should be started from the back of the head - in this zone the lowest temperature;
• A few days before the procedure, do not use shampoo and conditioner;
• Decide on a color. The hardest thing to paint over gray hair on dark hair, because they have a denser structure. That is why brown-haired women and brunettes should choose shades from the natural range (close to their native color). In almost all paints, they are indicated by a number - 0, 4.0, 5.0, etc. Those who want to change the color need to choose the tones located clockwise. In this case, you will protect yourself from unpredictable results.

A woman wants to be beautiful and young for as long as possible. Luxurious curls are decoration and pride. But most of the female representatives after 30 years notice gray hair on their heads and start to panic. The appearance of premature gray hair is not a sign of advancing old age, but physiological features human, the negative impact of irritating factors. To restore the curls to their former brightness, shine and silkiness, as well as to hide the first gray hair, hair dyes will help, the best of them will be popular in 2020.

In order for hair to become a decoration of a person, you need to take care of it and take care of it, and for this you need to know about their structure and physiological characteristics.

Each hair contains 97% protein, keratin, sulfur, vitamins A, B, P, C, T, as well as iron, copper and zinc. The remaining 3% is moisture.

Growth happens like this: first intensive, then a rest phase, and then the old ones fall out and the beginning of a new cycle. The daily rate of loss is not less than 30 and not more than 50. Each hair follicle has its own development cycle.

The health of the grown hair is indicated by its strength and elasticity. If it is stretched, it should return to its state.

Hair has the ability to absorb and accumulate some trace elements and odors in the air. They take moisture well. They react badly to alkali, chlorine. Long hold the smell of tobacco, smoke and paint. And the content of some specific substances help criminalists in their investigations. Therefore, curls need moisturizers and protection from odors. When swimming in the pool, a rubber cap is required.

Hair is not only an ornament, but also a protection of the head from cold and heat. Thanks to them, a person does not overheat and does not overcool. Long exposure to direct rays is harmful to hair, hard frost. Loss of elasticity, become brittle.

Structure: hair follicle, root and shaft containing a coloring matter - pigment. It is he who is responsible for the color of the curls.

Let's take a closer look at the cut of the hair

The shade depends on it when combined with red, yellow or black. And if there is no pigment, then a white color will turn out.

The coloring element is produced by hair follicles and is called melanin. The more it stands out, the brighter the tone. For dark colors: browns and blacks, a type of pigment called eumelanin is responsible. In light and red tones, the curls are colored due to pheomelanin.

Why does gray hair appear

The appearance of gray hairs is associated with a decrease in the coloring pigment.

How to cover gray hair?

The cessation of melanin production can be in the following cases:

• heredity embedded in the genes;
• the presence of stressful situations;
• lack of a healthy lifestyle;
• unhealthy diet, bad habits;
• failure in the hormonal background;
• kidney or thyroid problems;
• anemia;
• prolonged exposure to sunlight, low temperatures;
• work in a room with a large amount of chemical impurities.

During human stress, neuropeptides are produced in nerve cells, which, when they enter the hair cells, destroy melanin in them and make the hair turn gray. Abuse of alcoholic beverages, malnutrition, lack of sleep, chronic fatigue also lead to the appearance of gray hair.

Refusal to eat foods such as vegetables, fruits and fish also affects the loss of coloring pigment.

A decrease in melanin is reflected not only in the loss of color, the hair shafts cease to be elastic and durable, dry out quickly, become thinner, and break.

This means that in order to preserve the natural color of curls, it is necessary to lead a healthy lifestyle, be attentive to your health, and observe safety measures when working with odorous chemicals.

But if the gray hair still appeared, this is not a reason to lose heart. The process of reducing the production of melanin occurs slowly, over several years. And hair color can be restored and maintained with the help of coloring agents. The main thing is to choose quality products.

Types of dyes for gray hair

There are a lot of cosmetic products for coloring hair, including gray hair. They are classified according to chemical composition, principle of influence, price, coloring conditions, content of natural coloring substances.

The durability of the paint is determined by the content of the oxidizing agent in it. The percentage of concentration directly affects the brightness, color saturation, but a strong chemical exposure does harm.

There are three types of coloring agents according to their chemical composition:

1. Tint is used to emphasize the natural color, to hide the beginning of gray hair. They give the hair a natural shade, do not contain ammonia. But it will not work to change the color much, the shade will disappear after 5-6 times of using the shampoo. More suitable for a minimum amount of gray hair.
2. Semi-resistant are also used to emphasize color, even out tone, give a slight shade, healthy shine. They have a minimum content of ammonia, a guarantee of the preservation of nutrients and pigments for a long time.

However, it is impossible to radically change the color. Due to the gentle effect, the budget price, these coloring agents are most often recommended by experts for painting gray hair at home.

1. Resistant paints are permanent and semi-permanent.

There is no hydrogen peroxide in semi-permanent ones, so it will not work to lighten and give a tone lighter than natural, but you can completely paint over gray hair, refresh the color, make it more saturated.

Permanent paints differ from others in their content of ammonia and hydrogen peroxide. These two chemicals allow you to simultaneously lighten the curls and recolor in any desired color. The coloring agent completely and permanently paints over any gray hair. But hair can lose not only the coloring natural melanin, but also useful elements. They dramatically reduce the amount of nutrients, oils to give shine and silkiness, they become drier. Therefore, when staining, caring masks and conditioners are additionally used.

Gentle staining is carried out by natural paints: basma and henna. If you mix them, you can get a shade from light to dark. Henna and basma do not penetrate the hair shaft, stain the surface, but steadfastly. It is very difficult to recolor them, you will have to wait until the curls grow back. Gray strands, especially if there are a lot of them, when stained with natural coloring cosmetics, turn out to be a tone or two lighter.

According to the conditions of dyeing, paints for gray hair are divided into professional ones, which are used in salons and hairdressing salons, and those that can be used at home.

Professional coloring

With the help of coloring agents, it is easy to change your appearance, restore brightness, shine to curls, and get rid of gray hair. But using low-quality cheap means can ruin everything. Experts recommend professional coloring.

Not all women have the opportunity to visit a beauty salon and carry out coloring at home. It is not difficult if you choose the right coloring agent and follow the procedure in accordance with the instructions and recommendations of professionals.

Otherwise, there is a risk of ruining the curls or being disappointed with the result.

The coloring agent is selected taking into account the length and density of the hair, eye color and skin tone. It is also necessary to take into account the degree of gray hair. Decide on the desired result.

The choice is determined by the goal:

• A tint will not harm dark hair with gray hair, but the result will be minimal. More suitable for light curls.
• Ammonia-free paint will help to paint gently and last longer.
• With the help of resistant paint, you can get a uniform natural color.
• The use of brighteners involves the additional use of care products to restore the hair structure.
