Before and after pictures
The process of such staining for the ends, roots and strands
The technology of partial coloring came into vogue more than 10 years ago and is not going to give up their positions. Colorists have several popular technologies at their disposal:
- balayazh. Semi-permanent dyes are applied to pre-bleached hair with free strokes. Foil will help to make the color more intense.
- Ombre. This implies a smooth or abrupt transition from dark ends to light ends.
- Sombre. A softer version with the use of natural tones.
It is not necessary to achieve a perfectly pure color, the subsequent toning will help align it. To remove the yellowness can tint colors in blue or purple gamut, to give a warmer tone will help compounds in the copper gamut.
To emphasize the contrast, the hair at the roots can be darkened. To the effect did not disappoint, in the work using the compositions of the same brand, well combined with each other.
It is important to withstand shades in the overall range. For example, for dark brown hair, a combination of caramel-black for the roots and a golden for the bleached tips is suitable.
Nuances of tinting natural and dyed hair
Toning is a great way to refresh the dull hair that has been dyed. Surface dyes act more gently and do not contribute to the destruction of the keratin layer. However, there are features that must be considered before going to the salon or purchasing paint for self-dyeing.
Some dyes are poorly combined with each other, the effect may be different from the expected.
Especially insidious natural dyes. After treating the hair with henna, you need to wait at least 6 months; the coloring pigments should completely leave the hair.

Another option is to apply dye to natural strands to refresh color and add shine. If the chosen tone is inappropriate, it is easy to get rid of it just by washing your head.
Should I tint blond hair?
After toning, the hair becomes saturated in color, which gradually turns pale and disappears after 1-3 weeks.
It all depends on the initial state of the strands, their care and the type of tool used.
The longest coloring effect is retained by creamy colors, tonics and tinting shampoos keep the color until the first hair wash.
Preparations for toning have many advantages:
- colors do not penetrate deep into the rod, do not overdry the hair and do not make them brittle,
- a thin surface layer smoothes keratin scales, providing an even natural shine,
- drugs protect strands from the negative effects of ultraviolet radiation.
Properly selected toning agents can revive a not too interesting shade of hair, add new colors to the exterior. Drugs can hide a small amount of gray hair, but with a noticeable gray hair, you will have to use stronger dyes containing ammonia.
Too frequent tinting can dry out sensitive porous hair. To prevent this, nourishing and moisturizing masks will help. It is better to use not popular recipes, but industrial compositions of professional brands.
Choosing the right shades
Before you start coloring, it is important to choose the desired color. The lighter the hair, the wider the palette of shades. Specialists in colorimetry recommend focusing on skin and eye tone.
Suit gentle apricot, pink and coral tones. Very blond blondes can tint the strands with a baby-blond shade with very thin cream and golden tints.
Owners of pink or olive skin will suit cold shades with a reddish, bluish or silver glow. This type of go unusual colors: pink, bluish, platinum. Ashy tones of various saturation look especially impressive.

Do I need to highlight before toning?
At toning of dark hair preliminary clarification is recommended. It is not necessary to radically bleach the strands, just remove some of the pigment and make the curls more susceptible to paint.
With the help of the right paint, light brown hair can be turned into platinum, to add shades of coffee, burnt sugar or dark chocolate to chestnut.
Dark brown strands are painted in the deepest shades: black-brown, black-caramel, blue-black. Interesting nuances can give wine-red dyes, but reflections will be visible only in bright sunny or artificial light.
Blondes need highlights if they want to change the tone of their hair, without making it darker. For example, a girl with straw hair can achieve the effect of baby-blond, give the strands a cool platinum or silver shade.
Stepwise technology
Toning is easy to do at home. For a start it is worth using dye shampoo. It is easy to use.
- Hair is moistened with warm water.
- Shading shampoo is distributed over the strands, after a light massage it is left for 5-7 minutes.
- The hair is rinsed with warm running water.
- A moisturizing balsam is applied to the curls. It is preferable to use a product of the same brand as the shampoo.
When using semi-permanent paints, the coloring technology will be different.
- In the porcelain or glass container paint and oxidizer are combined. The proportion depends on the manufacturer's recommendations. The more dye, the richer and brighter the shade.
- Towels are placed on shoulders. The hair is carefully combed, divided into strands and tinted with hairdressing clips.
- Strands are alternately released, under each enclosed a strip of foil with a tucked edge at the roots.
- Dye is applied to the hair using a flat brush with synthetic bristles. The treated strand folds in half.
- After treating all the hair, the dye is aged for 5-7 minutes and washed off with running water.
- Hair is treated with conditioner or balm.
Toning completely bleached or bleached hair can be a simple and safe way. A portion of paint is mixed with a neutral shampoo, applied to wet strands and left for 5-7 minutes. After that, the head should be washed, rinsed and treated with air conditioning. Hair will get a light natural glow.
Especially beautiful look golden, silver, platinum shades. Those who want to try a more unusual version, you can use lilac, pink, bluish paint.
Perfect result
With a properly performed procedure, the effect lasts up to 3 weeks. The longest lasting paint is semi-permanent. Tonics and mousses last from 1 to 2 weeks, coloring shampoos are completely washed off in a week.
To maintain the perfect result, it is recommended to use drugs of the same brand. For example, when pre-bleaching or highlighting, bleaching compositions and tonics from the same ruler will do. In this case, there is no conflict between the formulas, the effect will be consistent with what is stated in the instructions.
When repainting it is important to consider the original hair color. If you want to give a cool tone to the golden hair, you will have to bleach, otherwise the color will turn dirty. Remove shades that did not fit, you can wash your hair deeply cleansing shampoo.
How to avoid mistakes and disappointments?
If the hand does not appear redness, toning agent can be used without fear.
Before toning you need to align the color of the discolored strands. If necessary, carry out additional highlighting of the roots, cut off the damaged tips. It does not hurt to update the haircut, to do it better before dyeing, and not after.
At home, it is rarely possible to achieve a perfectly light tone. Light brown hair can get a yellowish glow, not in harmony with the type of appearance. To get rid of it will help the treatment of discolored strands toning shampoo blue or purple. They wash their heads 1 time in 2 weeks.
The tool does not have a coloring effect on natural strands, but the discolored areas become pure white.
If the hair is damaged by inept highlighting, a mixture of nourishing balm with tinting paint in a ratio of 10 to 1 will help restore them. The composition is applied to wet strands after each wash. Balsam moisturizes hair and smoothes keratin scales, dye maintains vibrant color and shine.
To stabilize the coloring components, you should not wash your hair for 2-3 days after toning. This is especially important when using semi-resistant cream paints.
Blond hair is a wonderful palette for home colorist. With the help of gentle semi-dyes, they can give any fashionable shade, and after 1-2 weeks to change it to a new one. Properly performed procedure does not spoil the hair, but to maintain the perfect appearance it is recommended to regularly make nourishing or moisturizing masks.

- Lightening composition is applied to the edges of the tails, to the gum.
- Stand the time and wash off.
- Apply tinting agent according to the classic technology. Hair can no longer be collected in ponytails.
- Sometimes the colored strands are wrapped in foil so that the composition does not stain the remaining curls.
- After a set time, wash off the tonic with copious amounts of water.
By the way. In a similar way, you can perform shatush or balayazh, as well as highlighting / coloring tint preparations. Lighten individual strands from the roots or just the tips and follow the instructions that are relevant for each painting method.
Staining effect
Brilliant, beautiful, healthy curls of rich color - the result for which girls choose to tint their hair in dark shades. The initial effect persists until the next shampooing, so for the first 2–3 days after painting, do not perform this procedure. Then the color scheme is gradually washed out and tarnishes, but on dark strands it is not striking.
If you want to keep the shade of hair on the same level, make a correction 1–2 times a month. In the breaks do not forget about the nourishing, moisturizing, regenerating masks.
Just avoid using natural oils, because they contribute to the leaching of color. Keep curls away from ultraviolet and chlorinated water. With the observance of simple rules toning dark hair will be for you a pleasant, and quite possibly a regular procedure.
Such hair dyeing techniques look elegant and interesting:
Hair toning is a soft coloring
There are more and more women who want to use toning to change their appearance and add zest to their image. After the traditional dyeing after a week or two, contrasting unpainted locks begins to appear at the roots, becoming more noticeable every day, forcing the girls to regularly paint the roots. The advantage of toning is a uniform and gradual flushing when washing the hair, in this case there is no visible difference between colored and unpainted curls.
Tint balms, shampoos
The hair color is affected slightly, washed off after 3-4 shampooing procedures.
On blond strands a new shade will last about two to three weeks. They do not contain ammonia with hydrogen peroxide, therefore, they are considered conditionally harmless.
The effect of staining persists for about a month.
If you give preference to toning, you can change your image without exposing the aggressive hair to the adverse effects of chemical agents.
- A rich palette of colors, allowing you to try almost any shade. The procedure is suitable for brunettes and blondes, fair-haired and red,
- The dye is gradually washed off, respectively, there will be practically no difference between undyed and colored strands,
- Do not worry if the result disappointed you - the shade will gradually disappear with each washing of the head,
- This is the best way to refresh your natural or colored head color,
- In the course of dyeing, you can use one or more colors. Quite actually toning melirovannye strand - the result will be incredibly beautiful.
There are some flaws, but they are not too many:
- Gray hair is not completely painted over,
- The selected shade is poorly noticeable (invisible) on dark hair,
- If, shortly before toning, straightening or highlighting was performed, then it is better to cancel your design, because the shade may turn out unexpected,
- Brighten the curls with a tonic will not work, for such purposes it is better to use paint with an oxidizing agent,
- Toning agents are much cheaper than paints, but they will be required many times more, therefore, it will not be possible to save money,
- Toning has a certain feature, in contrast to the paint, tonic is transferred to the headgear, especially in the hot period, when it is washed off from the strands later.
Harm and benefits of toning
Even with frequent color changes, the paint used in it does not harm either the hair or the skin, so it can be used by women in an interesting position, breastfeeding, or those suffering from various allergies.
One of the worst options after toning - strands partially lose their natural pigmentation. The tonic contains an oxidizing agent; it is he who can brighten the regrown hairs more intensely than in previous times.
Tonic does not harm the structure of hairs, however, and does not affect them in a therapeutic way.
The only thing is that before using it it is necessary to test it in advance on a small area of skin in order to get rid of doubts about a possible allergic reaction.
Given the above facts, we can conclude that the use of tinting agents is contraindicated, and in some cases meaningless if:
- Gray hairs are visible on the head, they do not completely shine,
- Earlier henna was applied to the curls,
- Less than a week has passed since lightening or highlighting
- There is a high sensitivity to the components of the tonic,
- On damaged curls tonic is not used. In this case, it is better to apply after treatment, otherwise the ebb may be different.

Toning for the elimination of yellowness
To which only methods the girls did not resort to get rid of the "cheap" yellow on the blonde. With the help of special technologies and tools you can correct the most unfavorable staining, up to getting rid of the orange tint on the discolored head.
You can get rid of yellow strands yourself in two ways: use a tonic or prepare a sparing emulsion of paint, shampoo and balsam. Consider the advantages and disadvantages of both options.

The second option is more difficult to implement, but the effect is long.
We provide a proven recipe for home toning for bleached curls:

Toning blond hair
On natural light brown curls, an unpleasant yellow tint often takes place. In particular, if the curls faded after the summer or an unsuccessful coloring was performed. To solve this problem, barber-colorists recommend toning.
To make ash-colored blond hair, it is enough to rinse the curls several times a month with a special shampoo. Natural light color does not need artificial additional clarification without that.
If you want to slightly lighten the tone or emphasize the curls after coloring, it is recommended to carry out staining with gentle paints. For such clarification, a light tone is selected, which is aged for 10 minutes according to instructions similar to those of blond beauties. With a longer exposure, the blond may become too bright.

Toning gray hair

How to tint gray hair:
At home, you can use mousse, coloring balm, shampoo for toning. In this case, it is not recommended to use semi-permanent paint on its own, as only an experienced colorist is able to accurately determine the required exposure time of the composition. If you do not take into account the fact that the benefits of such staining is very doubtful,
The composition is applied to the entire surface of the head of hair - from the roots to the tips. It is important to evenly distribute it, so that the shade turns out without differences. Some funds can not hold, apply and rinse, the rest is important to withstand about 15 minutes. Therefore, we recommend that you carefully read the instructions for use,
It is also necessary to wash the hair from the roots to the ends, carefully rubbing the strands to wash out all the applied funds. Be sure to use the balm.
Repeated staining is performed not for a specific time (for example, once every two weeks), but when the shade begins to wash off. Often, a correction is needed after ten days.
Coloring red curls
Unfortunately, even professional emulsions. which are used for toning strands in salons and at home, are not able to adequately cope with the clarification of redheads.
The maximum that you can try:

- First, a suitable shade is selected. As already mentioned, to use a shade lighter than natural is meaningless, therefore we recommend to stop at natural dark red,
- It is possible to dye and separate pryadochki, pre-combing them - so the hairstyle will acquire visual volume and color transition, as in ombre. You can also shade all the hair,
- If the first option is chosen, then certain strands are separated from the hair and combed and treated with paint. You can speed up the reaction by wrapping them in foil. In the second embodiment, the procedure is similar to the standard painting process.
- On red tresses, the paint lasts a little longer than on others. Therefore, if you wash your hair every two days, the effect will remain for about three weeks.
Tinted after bleaching and highlighting
Even the most perfect highlighting requires subsequent tinting for uniform tint. You can use tonics and professional coloring tools. Professionals recommend combining several shades - so you can get a delightful color without yellowness and incomprehensible pink and bluish highlights.
Step-by-step instructions for toning bleached or bleached hair:
- The whole hair is divided into two or three zones: one central and two temporal, two temporal and two central, etc.
- Paint should be diluted according to the instructions or mixed (with experience). Emulsion is applied with a wide brush from the roots to the tips. The treated locks are wrapped in foil,
- The composition is aged on the head no more than 20 minutes. At the end of this coloring after clarification will give the effect of naturally white strands with dark areas of natural color in some places.
