It often happens that after painting you remain dissatisfied with the result. Previously, you had to use natural ingredients to return to your color - it took a long time - or to repeat the coloring, choosing a more suitable tone and risking the health of the hair.

Nowadays, chemicals have appeared that will quickly get rid of the consequences of a failed experiment. The wash dissolves the cosmetic pigment and is easy to remove.

What is a wash?

Hair washes can be divided into three groups.

1. Natural - the composition contains only natural ingredients made from herbal ingredients and pharmacy products. Their use does not destroy the hair structure. Applied as a mask, kept under insulation. Hair color does not return completely, the dye becomes much paler;
2. Acidic. Professional washes consist of chemical components, the natural color - if no discoloration has been carried out - is almost restored. Manufacturers assure the absolute safety of the product, but it is not advisable to carry out the procedure at home, especially for those who have no experience. You need to mix and apply on the head strictly according to the instructions, otherwise the desired result cannot be obtained. Is it possible to dye hair immediately after such a wash? Professionals advise to make an interval and conduct a course to heal the strands - strengthen with masks and balms;
3. Bleaching agents stress the curls, they destroy the dye along with melanin - a natural pigment. Used to remove darkening paint such as radical black or bright red after applying ammonia dyes. It is impossible to return to your appearance, as well as to immediately dye your hair after washing. In the case of hair coloring after washing, you can get dry, lifeless hair, and - most likely - cut your hair very short.

Acidic products are considered the best option for removing paint. They remove pigment without destroying melanin and without negatively affecting hair follicles. But it is impossible to answer the question: when can you dye your hair after washing, that immediately. Coloring has a negative effect on the structure of the keratin rods, so it is advisable to give the hair a rest.

How do the cleaning products work?

Chemicals that remove paint do not return their native color.

Melanin consists of multi-colored granules:

• pheomelanin - a yellow pigment;
• eumelanin, a brown pigment.

The final color is obtained depending on the proportions, if there is very little eumelanin, then the "output" is blonde. It is easier for the clarifier in the coloring agent to deal with pheomelanin - therefore, it has a less destructive effect on it.

When the coloring pigment that has taken root during coloring is drawn out, the resulting shade differs from the natural one, since the natural melanin is destroyed.

That is, after removing the paint, light brown hair will turn yellow, dark blonde - red, and black dirty brown or even red.

As soon as the new color is removed, the bleached paint appears.

When the coloring composition was persistent, the curls turn out to be bright - their pigment is destroyed and chemical dyes have taken root in its place. Until the cosmetic pigments are washed out, it is impossible to return to the original look. However, each application of the rinsing agent negatively affects the hair structure.

For those who constantly paint, to remove the color, you need to carry out 7-12 procedures, sometimes between the use of acid washes, you will have to resort to discoloration. But even with a one-time staining, one cleaning procedure is not enough - the application of the cleaner should be repeated 2-3 times.

It is impossible to do without restoring the structure, otherwise the strands will become brittle, they will begin to split, the production of a lubricating secret will be disrupted.

If you restore the color in salon conditions, then the master will choose the best option for chemicals and immediately conduct a strengthening course. At home, you can not guess with the composition. The paint is washed out gradually, do not expect an instant result.

When can I dye my hair after washing? If you do not want to get an unpredictable result, then only after the complete washing out of the previous coloring pigment. In the event that the smallest particles remain from the past dyeing at the root of the hair, they will begin to adhere to the molecules of the new composition, mixing and forming a tone that the manufacturers and buyers of the dye they liked were unlikely to count on.

The most unexpected result is obtained if natural dyes have been applied beforehand.

They do not completely destroy melanin; they are localized on keratin scales covering the root zone. Persistent paints penetrate deeply, and the "fleur" remains on top, the colors are mixed, as if through a screen. For example, when lightening after henna, you can get a blue or greenish tint, and after basma - bright green, pinkish or purple. The hair of each person perceives natural remedies individually, it is almost impossible to predict the result when mixing natural and chemical ingredients.

It is necessary to restore your color after natural paints only by natural means - kefir masks, soda rinsing and similar influences.

Algorithm of the restorative procedure

Chemical hair dye remover must be diluted correctly. The composition is diluted only with clean boiled water - you need to make sure that there are no impurities in it. Better to filter the water through a filter or gauze.

Only dry hair is treated with the resulting composition:

• the remover is applied to the strands in the same way as the paint, from roots to ends;
• in this case, it is necessary to indent from the root by 1-1, 5 centimeters;
• then insulate the head - with plastic wrap and a hat or a terry towel;
• it is desirable to warm the film on top with a hairdryer.

You cannot keep the product on your head for more time than it is written in the instructions, otherwise your hair can be burned.

After the insulation is removed, the head must be rinsed with a deep cleansing shampoo and hot water. After the first wash, you do not need to use acidified rinsing water, otherwise the result will be fixed.

It is not recommended to use a hair dryer for drying - it increases the load on the damaged strands. It is not necessary to style your hair with thermal accessories, a curling iron or an iron until the paint is completely removed.

Instead of rinses, tinting compounds are used, which have a surface effect. They are embedded between the broken bonds of paint molecules, preventing them from connecting and darkening. It is better to purchase special formulations for tinting from the same line as paints, then their effect will be more pronounced. Before the recovery procedure, it is imperative to do an allergy test - apply a little composition on the wrist. If after 30 minutes no irritation appears on the skin, you can apply the product to the head.

You cannot restore hair when you drink antibiotics - they change the acid-base balance of the scalp and keratin shafts, so exposure to restorative agents can cause undesirable results.

Do not wash off paint during menstruation.

Determination of the quality of the wash

You can dye your hair again only after the coloring pigment is completely removed. The remover kit contains an oxidizing agent in addition to the paint remover itself. It is designed to test the quality of the cleansing restorative procedure.

How to do the test?

One strand is separated, an oxidizing agent is applied to it, and it is allowed to wait from 15 to 20 minutes. If it has darkened, you will have to carry out one more procedure - or maybe several.

After each application of the washing agent, the head is washed, dried, and only then a test with an oxidizing agent is carried out. Until a positive result is obtained - the color of the strand does not stop changing, the wash will have to be continued.

Do not apply restorative products without interruption - it should be at least 24 hours, otherwise you may be left without hair or get scalp irritation.

At this time, it is advisable to nourish the hair with restorative agents - masks with beneficial masks or fermented milk products, so that the strands become softer and more elastic, and do not turn into tow.

If the hair begins to fall out after washing, then the coloring should be abandoned for a while. Hair loss after the restoration procedure is reversible.

The complex effect - external therapeutic masks, intake of vitamins and minerals from the inside, refusal of intensive care and the use of natural shampoos - will quickly restore the quality of the strands, and they can again be dyed in any color you like.
