Homemade dyes: what are there, how to use, prices

Psychological fever for being supplied with toilet paper was ephemeral.When we all had our 250 rolls "just in case", with those who started to the challenges in Tik Tok, people understood that they no longer needed to continue going to the super at 8 in the morning to take 8 packages.But it does not end there.Then came the homemade pastry fever.And above all, the most wanted: yeast.We have been without her for weeks and now the natural alternatives run like a gunpowder in the networks because, to see if not how the cake will upload.

What we did not think when we went in mass by toilet paper and by yeast is that the gray hair and roots of our dye (ay, first world problems), would leave long before the first package of toilet paper rolls were exhausted.And what we do not think is that the hairdressers would close and we would stay with a new unwanted look that made another product an object of desire in supermarkets: home dyes.

According to Rafael Rocha, beauty expert at the consultant Nielsen: "Capillary coloration has been falling for many years because it has generalized going to the hairdresser to dye hair."But he ensures that coloration products have grown by 36% in the accumulated of the entire crisis of the Coronavirus (according to Nielsen's data).Rocha says that it is the first verz that the sales of this product are triggered since consumption studies are done: "It didn't even grow so much during the crisis."

Retocing the color at home became a need for many, whose gray hair covered their hair at full speed and could not do much more to cover them for a while with a color spray.

Quiet, there are still dyes.They sell like churros at Christmas, but there are.If you always went to your hair to your trusted hairdresser and now you have to pull skill, take note of everything there is for you to choose what best goes.Here you have the most complete guide of the home dyes of the Super.

But before knowing everything that is available, you have to know that there are several types of home dyes:

Permanent dyes

On the one hand, there are permanent dyes.Yes, they cover 100% gray hair but do not easily with the washes.That is, if you are wrong with the tone, they are not those of “washing and ready”.They are perfect to give intensity to a tone or to cover roots and gray hair if you know for sure what yours is.

Semi -permanent dyes

Semi -permanent dyes do not offer the same level of coverage as a permanent one, although you will notice your covered gray hair.They are also perfect if what you want is to clarify the root or give some intensity or darkness to your color.They resist less than the permanent: about 4 or 5 washes.And they don't clarify the hair.

Discoloration

Careful with this.These do serve to clarify the hair but if you don't know how to use it or your hair is weak, better leave it for later.You can survive, seriously.

Natural dyes or synthetic dyes

This depends on many occasions that users suffer allergies.Synthetic dyes are more likely to cause them.Of course, the variety of tones is much broader than that of natural dyes.They staining hair oxidation and are more aggressive.

The trend is to end the ammonia, the ingredient that has always been in the center of all controversies for being more abrasive and harmful.The objective is to change it to another similar alkaline ingredient or incorporate ingredients that have softening and repairing effect.And to be, natural.

How to choose the correct color

To know, Mª Carmen Medrano, scientific spokesman for Garnier and L’Oréal Paris and Irene Rosado, responsible for training Garnier and L’Oréal Paris, have helped us.

Según el tono del cabello

“When choosing the tone that we are going to apply we have to take into account that the dyes have a maximum clarified power of two or three tones.If for example, our natural tone is light brown, we cannot choose a clear blond, since we will not get that color, we would have to choose a light or dark blond.If what we are looking for is obscuring our current tone we could apply the tone as dark as we want, although it is always advisable to obscure little by little so that the change is not so drastic, ”the experts recommend.

Según el tono de piel

"Actually, the tone we have is not important here, but what color we want to achieve, taking into account the restrictions we have commented before," they explain.

Si tienes canas

The two experts advise us to apply a permanent coloration to ensure high gray hair coverage.“When we talk about first gray hair, we can opt for the use of a semi -permanent coloration.In this case, it is important to check in the instructions of the case if the percentage of coverage that proposes the chosen tone is consistent with the one we are looking for or if, on the contrary, it is not recommended for hair with a high percentage of gray hair ”.

Si el pelo está previamente teñido

Here we must take into account that we cannot clarify the tone by applying another dye, since dye on tint has no power to clarify."We must maintain the tone that we have applied previously or a darker one," they add.
