Blue hair color: a tribute to fashion or a state of mind. How to dye your hair blue? Blue staining

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

These paints do not spoil the hair at all.
Shabby colored washcloths on the head - not from color, but from cheap bad discoloration and lack of care.

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 :)

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

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

Third: colors and shades

For the last reason, I switched to a darker color: discoloration once every two weeks is unrealistic, and walking for two weeks out of four with such a particular parting is horror.

hot pink

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

bright purple

And then in the store where I always buy paint, neither purple nor pink was delivered. 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 line. The most difficult one I've ever had.

Fourth: How to live with pink / blue, etc. hair.

1. Will you be able to devote enough time to maintaining the color and hair in decent shape:
1.1 Bleach every 4 weeks
1.2 Refresh color every 3-4 washes (applies to light shades)
1.3 Care and haircut - twice as thorough as with ordinary hair. On bright any defect is visible.

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

2.2.1 For me, being pink/purple is like being brown, totally natural. What if I had naturally blue hair? Well, what to do. I look like shit, I’m not in the mood for makeup / styling - well, okay, I’ll go like this :)

2.3.1 I was very afraid of negative stereotypes. And then accepted 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 help. 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 the tips, multi-colored hair began to appear in all the glossy magazines ... Actually, I I clearly fell into the trend, well, a year earlier :) I was so sure that this decision was mine, real and correct, that the comments did not hurt, but rather surprised. I'm very curious what those critics would say now :)

3. Why do you want to wear a bright color?

That's true, why? This is so much work, effort, problems.

To stand out? To not be "like everyone else"? To cope with depression and change something in life? Forcefully put on an image, so as 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 dissatisfied. With the most perfect and beautiful pink hair that everyone turns their necks on. Happiness is not in being outwardly unique, especially since multi-colored hair is by no means exotic. Not a single personality from pink hair has become multifaceted. Maximum - painted pacifier.

If the desire to change your appearance so drastically comes not from problems, but from the heart, then it is right!

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

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

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

How to dye your hair at home

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

To get started, prepare the following set of improvised tools:

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

Now let's move on to the painting process.

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

Advice! Be prepared for the fact that as a result of improper bleaching, your hair may become greenish. If you doubt your own abilities - do not take risks, use the services of a master.

• Cover the ears, forehead and neck area with petroleum jelly or a greasy cream to prevent the composition from being absorbed into the skin.
• According to the instructions, prepare the dye solution, 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 bundle and cover with a warming cap. So the reaction is activated 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 still penetrates the skin, it can be removed with medical alcohol.

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

The best paints and tint balms

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

• Estel Play in the shade Ultra mare allows you to achieve a deep blue. Paints from this series have a lightening powder and an oxidizing agent in the kit. A high-quality composition will cope with hair of any structure, thanks to which it will be possible to achieve a bright result even for natural brunettes. Also suitable for partial coloring.

Offers outrageous fashionistas 4 types of tinted shampoos with incredible colors: sky blue Sky Blue, bubblegum blue gum, deep Capri Blue and bewitching Blue Jade.

• L'Oreal Paris - this brand produces excellent coloring sprays, in a wide color scheme which I present blue, mint and turquoise. Thanks to the fine nozzle, pigmented particles are evenly distributed over the surface of the head. Coloring is saved until the next bathing. Before spraying, it is recommended to cover the shoulders with a cape, then shake the bottle vigorously and spray its contents at a distance of 15 cm from the head. After a couple of minutes, you can comb the curls. The paint does not penetrate deep into the hair structure, which in no way affects the condition of the hairs, their shine and silkiness are preserved;

• Tonic - this manufacturer is impossible not to mention, despite the low cost, the products are of high quality staining. The manufacturer advises to simply apply the composition to washed, damp hair, and to obtain a weightless tone, dilute with water. Suitable even for gray strands, withstands from 3 to 7 shampooing processes;

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

Advice! In pursuit of fashion, many people forget about health. It is not worth saving when choosing a paint, because it will be much more difficult to restore damaged, brittle and dry strands than to initially spend a little more money on a quality product.
