One of the most difficult and important actions when dyeing hair is the application of dye to gray hair. When dyeing gray hair with Siena paint, a few points should be considered.

1. Consider the percentage of gray hair. The higher the amount of gray hair, the brighter will be the final tone of the hair. It may be 1-2 tones lighter than required. Therefore, it is often necessary to choose a color 1-2 tones darker than desired.

2. Determine the concentration of gray hair. When dyeing local areas of gray hair, two types of dyeing should be carried out - the first is done on natural hair, the second is applied on local areas of gray hair.

3. To determine the level of absorption of the dye pigment gray.

Well-dyed gray hair: the coloring pigment penetrates well into gray hair and deeply dyes it even when used 3% oxidative emulsion .

Normally dyed gray hair: applied for reliable dyeing 6% oxidative emulsion .

Badly dyed gray hair: a special treatment of the hair is required to facilitate the absorption of pigment into the hair. To do this, carried out Mordon (preliminary loosening) and preliminary pigmentation.

Mordonssage is carried out as follows:

1. The oxidizer is taken 6% or 3% , depending on the characteristics of the hair.

2. Oxidizer undiluted is applied to areas of hair that need treatment.

3. Wait ten minutes.

4. After that, without washing away the oxidizer, remove excess moisture with a napkin or hair dryer and start the dyeing process.

Pre-pigmentation is carried out as follows:

1. Take a pure dye for Siena hair, does not mix with oxidant or water. In case of excessive sensitivity of the scalp paint must be diluted with water in a ratio of 1: 1.

2. Apply dye to areas of hair that need preliminary pigmentation.

3. Wait twenty minutes.

4. Start hair coloring. In this case, the dye is mixed with paint in the usual ratio + oxidative emulsion based on the previously applied paint.

Gray hair Methods of staining: pre - pigmentation, preliminary loosening of the cuticle (Mordonso.

For the color of our hair meet the special cells melanocytes. These cells produce a brownish substance - melanin. Gradually, as a rule, the production of melanin decreases with age, and the hair becomes silvery or with a yellowish-white shade (gray.

Gray hair is hair lacking a dye pigment (melanin. In a gray hair, instead of pigment, a large number of air bubbles (oxygen molecules) prevail.

It is because of this that they are difficult to staining.

There are two types of gray hair:

* scattered is when gray hair in a different quantity is more or less evenly distributed over the entire head.

* Focal (zonal) - this is when gray hair appears only on certain areas of the head, such as the frontal or temporal zone.

In addition, grayness happens:

* easily dyed (soft and thin hair) - this is when the dye pigment easily penetrates and fills gray hair. This hair can be painted over and on a small percentage of oxidant.

* Normally dyed (hair is average in all parameters), it is perfectly colored with 6% oxidant.

* Hard-stained "Glass" gray (hair is thick, hard, like wire. Such a gray hair has cuticle scales tightly adjacent to each other.

To effectively paint a tough vitreous gray hair, it is necessary to "loosen" the upper cuticle flakes. For this, there are pre-treatments (rules) that apply before dyeing. They all contribute to better penetration of the dye into the hair.

Pre-treatments include:

* preliminary loosening of the cuticle (mordonazh),.
* pre-pigmentation ,.
* and in some cases decoupling, for example in the case of light shades.

Preliminary loosening of the cuticle (mordonazh) - contributes to a better penetration of the dye into the structure (cortex) of the hair. This method is mainly used when vitreous hard gray hair is used.

Vitreous gray hair is still very difficult to moisten from pulvir, you may have noticed that during the haircut the water from the hair just rolls down, is not absorbed. Sometimes customers with such a gray hair have to be watered from a pulvir, as if from a bucket.

Back to our sheep ....

Let's look at an example when 70% to 100% of hard gray hair is on the head.

First, we need to perform a preliminary loosening in order to facilitate the penetration of the dye into the hair.

To do this, on gray dry hair apply 3% or 6% oxidant in its pure form and withstand 10 - 20 minutes. Then at the end of the time, remove the excess moisture with a towel, dry the hair with a hairdryer, and only then make further dyeing.

Without washing away the oxidant, apply a full color and withstand 30 - 40 minutes. Wash off and dry.

Pre-pigmentation is the pre-pigmentation of the hair immediately prior to the dyeing procedure.

Pre-pigmentation is used not only when dyeing gray hair, but also when dyeing highly porous hair and darkening.

As I have already said, gray hair does not contain melanin, and the dye needs a reaction with natural pigment. Pre-pigmentation is a kind of replacement for natural pigment.

The hue for the pre-pigmentation is chosen either at the same level as the desired color, or one tone lighter than the desired, or one tone darker, depending on the original base and the desired shade.

Basically, the dye for the pre - pigmentation of gray hair is taken from the natural or gold series.

When does pre-pigmentation apply?

* when hair is stiff vitreous.
* when hair contains a large percentage of gray hair.

This procedure can be applied both with zonal (focal) gray hair, and with scattered gray hair, as well as with staining of gray roots.

Coloring occurs in two stages with the participation of two formulas of the coloring mixture.

Pre - pigmentation - the first formula is applied to problem (gray) zones, be it: all hair, or just regrown roots, or some specific individual zones (for example, temples) are allowed to stand.

Full coloring - then the second formula is applied to all the hair.

Pre - pigmentation can be performed in two ways:

* pure pigment, i.e. the dye does not mix with water.

Baseline: gray to 70%.

Take the desired shade in its pure form and apply to the hair, withstand 20 minutes. After the time the dye is not washed off.

The next step is to apply the same dye, but with 6% oxidant. Withstand another 40 minutes.

Thus, if gray hairs are more than 70%, then in this case the desired shade is mixed with a natural shade in the ratio: 1 - 2 parts of natural 1 part of fashionable tone.

Application technology is the same.

* The second method of pre-pigmentation is when the dye is mixed with water in a ratio of 1 to 1.

Let's break it down with a specific example:

* initial base: gray 70% - 100%.
* desired shade - 6 intense dark blond.

Perform pre-pigmentation one tone higher than desired. We mix a golden and natural shade in equal proportions.

7 intense blond 7. 3 golden blond water.

Apply. Withstand 15 to 20 minutes.

Without washing, we apply the desired mixture over:

6 intense dark blond 6% oxide.

Withstand another 35 minutes and wash off.

Only if the hair is thin, soft, then the shade should be chosen 1 tone lighter than desired, so as not to get a blackout. For thick, hard hair, on the contrary, the dye is suitable for a tone darker than desired.

The dye can be taken both from the natural row and from the reflex (bright. With a large amount of gray hair it is better to take the dye from the natural row).

If you produce pre-pigmentation with copper or gold shades in combination with natural, and then dyeing in a bright copper or red color, as a result you will get a less bright shade on gray hair. Therefore, if you ultimately want to get a bright color, then add a red or orange equalizer that will enhance the color direction of the fashionable bright hue.

* baseline: 7 intense blond up to 40% gray hair ,.

* desired shade - 7. 4 copper blond ,.

Perform pre - pigmentation:

8. 3 light golden blond or 8. 33 intense light golden blond water.

Withstand 15 to 20 minutes.

Without washing, we apply the desired mixture over:

7. 4 copper blond orange concealer 6% oxidant.

Withstand another 35 minutes and wash off.

In the event that gray hair is spread over the entire head (70% - 100%), I recommend using special dyes with the number zero for dyeing gray hair. Mix an equal amount of the desired shade:

For example: 7. 003 warm blond or 7. 03 pure blond.

With a copper shade - 7. 4 copper blond.

Decaping (bleaching) is applied when there is a large amount of gray hair.

Thin hair can be safely dyed in blond without lightening them before that.

But thick, hard gray hair before dyeing in blond hair is lightened with a powder on a small percentage of oxidant to the desired background clarification.

* baseline: 6 intense dark blond gray more than 70% ,.

* desire: to get after dyeing 9. 32 very light beige blond ,.

* solution: lighten hair (3% oxidant powder) to a light yellow background, and then apply dye 9. 32 very light beige blond 3% oxidant. Note: after bleaching with gray powder, this is not considered as such, that is, you can avoid adding a natural tone to the coloring mixture and work on a small percentage of oxidant.

Re: Technique Mordonazh Estelya

We apply 6% oxide on dry gray hair (9% for vitreous), dry it a little with a hairdryer and apply a dye according to all the rules of dyeing gray hair. The amount of oxide is reduced (say 60 grams of paint - 40 grams of oxide)

Causes of gray hairs

First, note the reasons that cause the appearance of gray hair:

• genetic predisposition
• frequent stress and depression,
• poor nutrition and, as a result, a lack of essential vitamins and trace elements in the body,
• drinking and smoking,
• heart disease, kidney, gastrointestinal tract,
• excessive exposure to sunlight on the hair.

As you can see, lifestyle directly affects the state of the curls. Therefore, if you do not want to become the owner of gray hair at a young age, watch your health, eat properly and play sports.

Professional coloring

Dyeing gray hair with dyed paint is the most popular way to disguise it. This procedure is much more complicated than it might seem at first glance, because the hair has different shades, and the result should be an even and beautiful color.

If you choose this method, it is better to trust high-class professionals, because a good hairdresser-stylist will do everything right, and you can relax and unwind during the procedure, not having any doubts about the final result.

However, some people prefer to do gray hair coloring at home. In this case, it is important to choose the right hair dye. The following recommendations will help you:

• Choose a color shade as close as possible to your natural one (after all, your goal is to paint gray hair, and not a cardinal change of image, for example, from a burning brunette to a blonde). The deviation from the natural shade by 1-2 tones is allowed.
• Think in advance about whether the shade will suit you, whether it will blend beautifully with the skin color, or whether minor flaws will enhance it.
• Unfortunately, sparing means for painting gray hair will not allow to achieve the desired effect, so you have to choose resistant permanent paints.

Staining rules

The coloring of gray hair has a number of nuances on which it is important to pay attention:

• Before using the product it is necessary to test for an allergic reaction.
• Before dyeing, refrain from washing your hair with shampoo. A few days is better to use only air conditioning.
• Compliance with the instructions is the key to success. Amateur when painting can have unpleasant consequences.
• Paint should be used immediately after preparation.
• Use a brush to apply the composition and protect your hands with gloves.
• The paint reaction slows down in a cool room or when drafted. But the hair is also not wrapped up, as the oxidant contained in the paint must react with oxygen.

Staining technology

So, you know what color it is best to dye gray hair. Now you can begin to consider the technology of painting gray hair. It involves the passage of three stages: pickling, pre-pigmentation, staining.

1. Etching involves softening the strands and preparing them for the most effective effect of the coloring matter. Most often for its use 6% oxidizer. It is applied to dry hair for 10 minutes, after which it is removed with a disposable towel, and the hair should be dried with a hairdryer. It is better to consult a trichologist about the possibility of carrying out this aggressive procedure.
2. Prepigmentation To obtain an even color before staining, it is necessary to carry out pre-pigmentation, it involves painting the root area 25 minutes before the staining itself.
3. Coloring. So, the preparatory stages are over, it's time to start painting.

• Begin staining should be from the neck, where the head temperature is lower and, accordingly, the reaction of the dye is slowed down.
• Do not feel sorry for the paint, it should be enough to paint each hair.
• Five minutes before washing off the paint, you can slightly moisten and rub your hair to get a uniform and lasting color.
• After washing on the curls should be applied balm that comes with paint.

By following these simple rules for dyeing, you can paint over the strands well and smoothly.

Care after dyeing

After dyeing gray hair requires careful care for curls, which includes:

• the use of shampoo and balsam for colored hair, allowing you to keep the color for a long time,
• use of nourishing masks,
• proper nutrition and drinking enough water to compensate for the lack of moisture in the curls.

Folk remedies for painting gray hair

Unfortunately, coloring at home or in the cabin with ready-made paints is a real chemical attack on the hair and scalp. Not everyone can withstand this procedure without consequences in the form of allergies, swelling, tearing and general ill health.

Try dyeing gray hair at home with safe natural remedies. Herbal ingredients will help give your hair a beautiful natural shade. The most common of these tools are:

• Chamomile and lime blossom. Mixed in the same proportions of grass, you just need to pour boiling water, stir the resulting gruel applied to the strands for an hour, then rinse the hair in water with lemon juice. Regular use of this mask will allow blondes to give their hair a nice golden color and get rid of gray hair.
• Henna.In the mixture prepared according to the instructions on the package, add a little vegetable oil and a couple of tablespoons of black tea brewing. Hold the composition on the hair for two hours, rinse with warm water. Gray hair, painted with henna, gets a playful ginger shade.
• If you mix henna with basma, you can get a coloring composition for brown-haired women, allowing dark-haired beauties to avoid gray hair.
• Coloring a few gray hair is possible with the help of natural coffee. Gruel of it must be applied to the curls for an hour and a half.
• Coloring under gray hair can be done with the help of decoction of rhubarb root. You need to take 40 grams of the root of the plant, pour a glass of hot water, bring to a boil and cook over low heat for 40 minutes. This broth should be regularly rinse hair after washing.

The listed funds, donated by nature itself, will allow both to paint and to improve the hair. However, the effect of their use will not be immediately visible, the procedure will have to be repeated regularly.

Getting rid of white hair is not easy, but nothing is impossible for a person who wants to look fresh and young. Be true to your goals, lead a healthy lifestyle and do not forget about the daily care of your hair. Gray hair can also be elegant, if we are talking about a well-groomed and stylish hairstyle.

Paint that once helped me grow a natural color. Is she able to paint over gray hair? And why did I dye my hair three times in 2 days. Shades 7.07 and 7.81.

A few years ago, I set out to grow my natural color, but there is a lot of red pigment in my hair, so rarely can any dye give me a light brown color without red hair. Experienced to pick up a more or less suitable color paint, which painted only the length - without affecting the roots.

The transition from natural hair to dyed was almost not noticeable, the color did not go away in red. Once every 2 months I tinted my hair with the same paint on 1.5% oxide to refresh it, and then, when the goal was achieved, I parted for a rather long time with hair dye.

But my joy did not last as long as I would like. The insidious gray came .... Its not so much, but it is noticeable, especially at the back of the head - a whole strand.

Remembering the recent past, I decided to seek help from the paint I had already tried.

So - I present to you the heroine reviews - cream hair color "Kapous Professional".

Coloring hair with the effect of lamination. Contains natural ingredients. Steady color and gray paint

According to the old memory in one of the stores, prof. Cosmetics took shade 7.07 - saturated cold blond and 3% oxide.

Many will ask - why 3%, despite the fact that there is gray hair. Everything is simple - for soft and thin hair that is colored tone-on-tone or slightly darker than a large% of oxide and is not required.

In order for 3% oxide to paint over gray hair without injuring 6% of the hair (and my hair doesn’t like her very much), there are 2 techniques - Mordon massage and prepigmentation.

Mordonssage (Pre-loosening (PR). The point is that before dyeing gray hair is prepared, as it were, by applying 1.5% - 3% oxidizer to dry hair (if gray is focal, the oxidizer should be applied only to the area with gray hair). The oxidizer raises flakes After loosening the oxidizer for 10 to 20 minutes (depending on the quality of gray hair), it should be wetted with a towel (do not rinse!), dry the hair with a hair dryer (at medium temperatures so as not to burn out) and then dye the hair according to the usual pattern.

Even if you have stiff hair, you can dye them 3% after mordonsazha! In total, after the procedure and coloring, you will get 6% oxidizer (twice by 3%), and, in general, it was possible not to waste time, but immediately dye your hair by 6%, but 6% oxide opens the hair more aggressively and affects the scalp, the color after work, 6% of the oxidizer keeps worse, is washed out much faster, and also goes blackout with subsequent stains. And, of course, the quality of hair after two times with 3% will be significantly better than 1 time with 6%.

Prepigmentation. Its essence is in applying the dye without an oxidant to the hair to saturate them with pigment. To perform pre-pigmentation, take a dye from the natural range a tone lighter than the desired color and apply it (only paint, without oxidant!) To the gray hair areas or over the entire head if gray is scattered. The dye should be kept for 20 minutes, and then, without washing off the previous dye, apply the usual mixture of dye with an oxidant 3% and maintain the proper time on the hair.

Cost ofpacking in 100 ml. together with oxide 150 ml. - about 300 rub.

The package is stylish, in silver color.

On the back side is a description of paint and precautionary measures.

For convenience, labels are placed on the tube so that you can determine the volume of used paint without a scale.

To get to instructionsneed to cut the packaging - it is printed on the inside of the box. I will remove the instruction in the quotations so that it does not take up much space.

By the way, there are quite a lot of useful information in the instructions - for example, tips on the selection of% oxidant.

And told about color enhancers (proofreaders or mixtones)

Well, actually, myself hair coloring instructions this paint.

The paint must be diluted with an oxidizing agent in proportion 1: 1.5, so for 30 ml. paint I took 45 ml of oxidizer, there also added a vial of HEC from Estelle and a few drops of oil on the advice of professionals. Before painting, in order to make sure the gray hair was cleaned, I carried out the preparation procedure - Mordonssage (there is a definition above).

The smell is quite normal ammonia does not carry per kilometer)))

At first, she applied the paint only to the roots (about 7-8 cm, where there was gray hair), and after 30 minutes distributed over the entire length and left for another 10 minutes. The total time is 40 minutes. The head is not burned and not pinched.

Washed off the paint, too, according to the instructions.

Already on wet hair, it became clear that the shade is not the one I expected. He turned much lighter - tone on 2...

But most importantly, for the sake of what the whole procedure was started - the gray hair was not painted over - if you enlarge the photo, you can see it very well.

And with different lighting crawled reddish. Cold tone here and does not smell.

Damn, I just wanted to cry.

According to my old memory, I decided to give her another chance. The next day I bought another pack, this time in a shade 7.81 - brown and ashy blond.

Applied again first on the roots for 30 minutes, then for the entire length for another 10 minutes..

And what we have in the end.

Gray hair again with me - because of the glare, it is not so noticeable, but I still see it (if you increase the photo, then you can see)...

With different lighting color is different- from quite nice, similar to blond,

to copper in subdued light.

Well, on the street - I'm almost red.

The breakdown is terrible.For a year, with the help of natural remedies, the hair was brought into good condition, and now - all the work is for nothing. Again you have to start all over again. Hair of course glistens, but the ends are dry and hard, although the dwell time of the paint on them was minimal.

Perhaps at the first painting I didn’t guess the base, and it was necessary to take not 7, but 6, but when re-coloring the base was already quite light - and the shade again did not turn out exactly as planned. The cold shade turned out to be clearly warm, and the gray hair was not colored at all - all my “sufferings” were useless.

I will recommend all the same - according to the old memory - all the same, once the paint Kapous Professional helped me grow my natural color.

It is unlikely that I will still use this paint, perhaps I will give it to someone.

There is certainly an idea to buy a shade with number 5, and mix them with a 7-coy to get a darker shade, but I do not know whether it is worth it.

Mordonzazh - nothing is impossible, the technique with which you dye any hair!

Mordon-massage technique has been in the top of the most popular methods of dyeing hair for several seasons; it has gained wide popularity thanks to the masters - colorists from France. In literal translation from French, “Mordonzazh” means “to poison”, “to etch”. What is this method, who should use it and how is the process of staining, tell in more detail.

Mordonzazh is a preliminary preparation for coloring. It is performed by “loosening” or “softening” the hair structure with hydrogen peroxide, making it more porous.

This method of treatment is used in cases where the hair is difficult to influence the pigment:

Glass gray

Difficult to paint over gray. This type of white hair is called “glass”: on thick, hard hair, the cuticle structure is compacted, its scales closely adhere to each other. For effective painting you need to "loosen" the upper layer of the cuticle.

For even color

The technique is also used in order to achieve a single, even shade. With regular dyeing, the color on the tips is washed out, becomes dull, the paint lies in stripes. To prevent this effect is used mordonazh.

The mordonazh method gradually conquered Europe, America, and recently became popular in Russia.

Features of technology

In contrast to the traditional, coloring according to the Mordon-massage technique occurs in two stages: preparing the hair and applying the dye directly. If for ordinary dyeing it is necessary to simply distribute the dye, then using this technique, the hair must be pre-treated with an oxidizing agent.

This method can be used both on all hair and in separate areas.: for example, on the gray hair, the most difficultly influencing coloring pigment.

Note, Usually, they do not wash their heads before the procedure, but if they are heavily soiled, wash with a mild shampoo is allowed.

If the technique is used on natural hair, when it is not necessary to paint over gray hair, then a slight deviation from the roots is made, about 1-2 cm, then the oxidizer is distributed along the length and tips. If there is gray hair or if the hair is too dark and thick, it is applied evenly over the entire length, including the roots.

Coloring does not apply on hair:

• length less than 4 cm
• thin, weak,
• sensitive, burnt in the sun.

How much is

Mordon massage at home will cost the cost of an oxidizer and the paint that you usually use. Many manufacturers produce these tools not in the set, but separately. An oxidizer in a package of 1 liter will cost an average of 200 to 700 rubles. depending on the brand of the product. Rarely, paint companies produce a series of products specifically for conducting mordonsazha (stabilized oxygenating agents), but most often the usual oxidizer is used.

The price of the salon painting procedure using the mordonzazh technique will vary from 500 to 1000 rubles. Not all salons will offer you this method, since it requires a greater consumption of cosmetics and time-consuming. In addition, not every master owns this technology.

Mordonsage: Pros and Cons

As with any staining, the mordonsage technique has its pros and cons. The undoubted advantages include:

• ease of use
• affordable price,
• obtaining uniform, saturated color,
• gentle staining
• effective painting of gray hair,
• resilience.

By the way The use of technology creates the impression of strands naturally sun-bleached - this effect is very popular with women.

The disadvantages of technology are:

• more than usual consumption of oxidant consumption,
• time costs.

The method has almost no flaws, and the main advantages are sparing, but effective staining and durability.

Staining technique

To use this technique, an oxidizing agent is used in its pure form. Depending on the ease of gray hair apply 3% or 6% solution. Rarely, when the hair is very dense and heavy, the masters use a 9% oxidizer. How is the process of staining:

1. Oksigent applied to dry hair for 10-20 minutes: the time depends on the density of gray hair or hair hardness. Wash head before dyeing is not recommended. Application technique: you need to start from the back of the head using a brush.
2. Remove excess moisture: blot your head with a paper towel, then dry with a hairdryer. Drying with a hair dryer contributes to a uniform distribution and action of the oxidizing agent.
3. The drug is not washed off, immediately starting to paint the selected color. The paint is applied for 30-40 minutes, wash off, the head is dried with a hairdryer.

Important to remember! The main secret of using the method is the speed of deposition of the oxidizing agent.

When using a 3% solution of oxidizing agent for mordonsazha, you can then paint the head with the same percentage of oxygenator. The result will be effective even on hard hair. In total, a 6% solution is obtained. At first glance it seems that this is a waste of time, because you can immediately perform the procedure with a 6% oxidant.

The fact is that a stronger solution is very aggressive for hair and scalp, the color after such painting is quickly washed off. Hair twice exposed to 3% oxidizer will be in better condition than once painted with 6% solution. therefore the use of the mordonazha method is preferable to a single use of a strong oxygenant.

How long does the effect last

Mordonzazh technology staining more resistant. During processing with an oxidizing agent, the hair structure becomes porous, due to this, the dye easily penetrates inside and lasts longer. The color remains bright for a long time.

Mordonazh technique is ideal for those who are looking for a reliable way to paint over gray hair or owners of dark, hard hair with low porosity. This is an uncomplicated dyeing method that allows the hair to perfectly absorb the dye pigment and make the color more saturated and deep.
