The world's best hair dye. Rating of the best professional hair dyes

Hair dyeing allows you to very quickly and easily change your image - some women try to get rid of the gray hair that appears, others slightly correct their natural color, and still others radically approach changing their appearance. In cosmetic stores today you can find a wide range of such products, ranging from the cheapest ones to professional products that you will have to fork out for. Our article will help you not to get confused in such a variety.

It is very important to pay attention to the origin of the dyes. Most often, there are products containing such natural substances as basma or henna. These include chamomile, burdock, tea, and so on. Natural remedies have certain disadvantages, the most serious of which is the inability to predict what color will turn out after the completion of the procedure. Professional makeup artists recommend using such products if there is a need to slightly correct your natural hair color.

For the most frequent use, dyes based on physical dyes are suitable - they do not penetrate deep into the hair structure, but give the hairstyle a rich color and healthy shine. Dyes of this type are quickly washed off the hair, so you need to use them regularly. They do not include lightening components, so these tools will not work for serious color changes.

Another type of hair dye is products with chemical dyes, and they are of various types - persistent and semi-permanent. The first type is well absorbed into the hair and lasts a long time. With their help, you can get almost any shade, paints are produced in the form of creams, mousses, gels and masks. They usually contain strengthening and nourishing agents that reduce the negative effects on hair.

The color of the paint should be selected on an individual basis - for this you will have to use the advice of the seller or contact a professional makeup artist who will advise on a specific paint color. It is indicated on the package with a special digital code.

As you can see, there are a lot of nuances in choosing a hair dye. When compiling our rating, we tried to take them all into account, in addition, we took into account the feedback from users and professionals and the ratio of price and quality of products.

The range of these products is very large and every girl will find a care product within her pocket. Most often, women wonder what kind of hair dye to buy, since there are several types of them.

Types of hair dyes

There are the following types of hair dye:

1. Physical - tint balms, tonics, shampoos. For those who prefer regular coloring, the so-called tint balms are suitable, which do not damage the hair structure, enveloping it with a tint film. In addition, they have a protective effect - the hair becomes soft and shiny, and they also prevent the harmful effects of the environment.

   If you just want to emphasize the beauty of your natural shade, you can safely take such paint, the result disappears, quite quickly - after 5-6 washes. Such dyes are more suitable for owners of light brown or brown hair, as they will most successfully emphasize the natural color. On very light or dark hair, the tonic will not be visible or vice versa - it will give an unnatural rich bright shade.

2. Chemical - paints, gels, mousses. Chemical hair dyes are most popular among women, as they are persistent, do not require much effort in dyeing, and they last long enough. If you are not afraid of their composition and the risk of drying out your hair, you can safely choose this dyeing option. A clear plus of these paints is that they perfectly paint over gray hair and can dramatically change the color of the hair several times due to the fact that the paint penetrates deep into the hair and changes its color for a long time. But do not forget that this approach spoils the hair ... They become dehydrated, weaker, more sensitive to chlorinated water. To improve the condition of your hair, you need to regularly use care products to nourish and moisturize colored hair.

   It should be borne in mind that you need to carefully choose the color of the paint. If you decide to paint, for example, from white to black, then one coloring is not enough, in which case it is worth contacting the salon in order to eventually avoid the unwanted color. If you decide to do coloring or highlighting, then you will have it done in the salon with this type of paint. These are the best paints for blondes and brunettes, because their color will be saturated.

3. There are also tools that wash off the old color... They also contain ammonia, but many manufacturers offer color-treated hair care products to help repair the damage done to the hair.
   
4. Natural - natural dyes... Natural dyes have a lot of advantages, primarily because they are organic and do not contain chemicals that are harmful to hair and scalp. By their action, they are similar to physical paints, but their difference is that, even by making decoctions from the shell of walnuts, chamomile, lemon, nettle, you can create a tint balm that will give a characteristic shade to your hair for a short time.

   The most famous natural paint on the market is henna. It is obtained from indigo leaves. It will give a reddish, red tint to the hair, but remember that after dyeing with henna, you should not use other dyes, as this can lead to unexpected results. This type of paint, just like physical dyes, is not suitable for abrupt and drastic color changes, because it was created in order to give saturation to a natural shade.

How to choose the right paint

In order for the new color to be exactly the way you imagine it, you need to take a responsible attitude to the choice of paint. By following all the rules, you will not waste your money and get the desired result.

Correct hair coloring

After the stage of color and dye selection, the question arises: how to dye your hair correctly? Dyeing is best done in the salon to avoid unwanted color and other problems. But if you decide to do it yourself, then there are hair coloring rules that you need to know.

But it should be noted that home dyes act slowly and gently, in this regard, these are not the best hair dyes. There is a recipe for each shade of hair.

For blondes, lemon is perfect - it has bleaching properties. Squeeze 3 lemons into water, apply to hair, do not rinse. Repeat the procedure several times, the result is satisfactory. But keep in mind that over-application of this mixture can dry out your scalp.

Olive oil is a great ingredient that will not only brighten the color but also moisturize your hair. Apply it all over, put on a shower cap and wrap in a towel, leave it overnight. Rinse off with regular shampoo in the morning.

2. Add ground coffee or strong tea leaves to the finished mixture.
3. Stir, apply along the entire length.

What characteristics to pay attention to

The best hair dye is the one that suits you perfectly both in composition and in shade. What criteria are important when choosing it?

1. Persistence. The first level refers to tint shampoos, the color after which is washed off instantly. The second is semi-permanent paints with gentle and gentle coloring. They practically do not contain aggressive components, so they do not stay on the hair for long. The third level is the most persistent. Here, the dye penetrates deeply into the hair structure and changes pigmentation with the help of hydrogen peroxide and ammonia. You can find the level number on the side of the package.
2. Consistency. The most convenient form is a cream. It does not spread, it is well distributed over the entire length of the hair. The gel is already more capricious, it flows, but it completely envelops every hair. Mousse is a light foam designed for toning. You can find other forms of coloring agents - ink, powder.
3. Additional ingredients. Now in each package you will find a conditioner balm that helps to "lock" the coloring pigment inside the hair. With its help, the scales of the outer layer are smoothed, making the hair shiny, with a rich color. In addition, the composition of the paint itself may contain nourishing oils that care for both the scalp and the hair.
4. Tint. Choose one or two shades lighter or darker than your natural color. This will make you look natural.
5. Shelf life. Be sure to check the release date of the paint, it is always indicated on the packaging.

1. Before buying paint in a store, select a brand, go to the manufacturer's website, select the desired shade.
2. Try to get hair products from specialized beauty stores. Do not forget to check the expiration date and the integrity of the packaging.
3. Pay attention to the cost. Cheap paints are consumer goods, focus on professional products.
4. Choose a color based on the condition of your hair. If they are weakened, the ends split, then the aggressive components of the resistant paint will cause them even more harm. Hair should be treated with masks or more gentle coloring products.

The answer to the question of which dye is good for hair will be incomplete if you do not pay attention to the classification of the dyes themselves. It is the type of dye that determines the depth of penetration into the hair structure and color fastness.

Experienced hair stylists who specialize in dyeing claim that each person's hair is different. That is why the same dye, even if it is the best professional paint, may look different on two different women. In fact, such parameters as hair structure, porosity, the actual shade at the time of dyeing have an influence on the color. The saturation and tone of the natural color depends on a pigment such as melanin located in the cortex of the hair.

All hair dyes are divided into types according to the degree of penetration of the dye. Even if the best hair dye is used, during temporary dyeing, the pigment does not penetrate into the hair cuticle, enveloping only the top layer. As a rule, such a dye is easily washed off the first time with an ordinary shampoo. Semi-permanent staining covers the cuticle; the permanent uses the deep cortical layer.

Classification of hair dyes. Permanent.

This type of colorant has the best stability and durability. It is able to penetrate deep enough into the hair structure, while changing color. The best professional hair dye - permanent - is not washed off, you can regain your natural shade only by growing your hair.

Characteristics of permanent paint

• Full shading of gray hair, provided that the time parameters are observed.
• Color change up to three tones at home.
• The ability to use for minor color changes is important to achieve halftones.
• Possibility of staining only regrown root areas.
• Does not wash off.

Toning or direct staining

This dye only penetrates the cuticle. That is why it is able to gradually wash out of the hair. As a rule, quality paint is washed off only after the eighth time. Tint dyes do not contain peroxide and ammonia, which makes it impossible to lighten.

Features of direct staining:

• the dye is produced in one tube, which eliminates the need for mixing;
• the color begins to wash out after eight shampooing procedures;
• the composition does not contain ammonia and peroxide.

Semi-permanent

Such dyes literally envelop the hair without breaking the structure, but affecting the cuticle and a little - the cortical layer. This effect can withstand about thirty shampooing procedures. The choice of semi-permanent can be the most successful when you first dye it or if you want to enrich your natural color.

Semi-permanent characteristics:

• there is no ammonia in the dye;
• the concentration of peroxide is negligible;
• endless color choices.

Temporary staining

The pigment does not penetrate into the hair structure, so the dye is washed off almost instantly. Among the distinguishing features are the low peroxide content and the small selection of colors.

Lightening

Lightening can be natural or artificial. Bleaching is often used not only to give hair a lighter shade, but also to increase the porosity of the hair, increase the susceptibility to dyes.

Artificial blonding always occurs under the influence of chemicals. The main ones are the following blond preparations:

1. Dyes for special purposes. The drugs simultaneously provide for the implementation of two chemical processes. Firstly, it is discoloration, and secondly, toning. The advantage is that one procedure can achieve the final result. But the concentration of artificial pigment and ammonia is twice as high as in classic creamy paints.
2. Powder blondes. This drug is extremely popular. It is often used in creative or standard colors. The powder helps to obtain the lightest possible shades, lightening reaches seven tones. Innovative blondes contain special substances that protect the scalp and the hair itself.

Which paint is meant for home use - should you trust the brand?

Well-known and popular brands that produce hair dyes do not always offer the consumer a quality product. To understand what is the best hair dye, based on the level of durability and dyeing results, it is advisable to read the results of official research.

Color uniformity and color

1. Wellaton Wella. The mousse gave one of the most persistent colors, but the shade promised by the manufacturer was never achieved. The Wellaton cream produced the desired tone, but was too unstable.
2. Loreal Preference Recital. The dye helps to color the hair evenly along the entire length. The color is fully consistent with the declared. If you pay attention to the product from this brand - the paint "Excelence" - the unevenness of coloring was visible, although the shade fully corresponded to the declared one.
3. What dye is good for hair? The answer is simple - Garnier Olia. The color is beautiful, rich and vibrant, but not perfectly uniform.

Persistence

In terms of durability, not all paints meet the stated requirements. According to the studies carried out, it was possible to establish the following:

1. Mousse Palette. The dye is of medium durability, but it stains gray hair well. Nevertheless, among all the variety, the level of resilience turned out to be one of the worst. Significant color fading can be traced two weeks after staining.
2. Garnier Color Naturals paint. Considering the question of what is the best hair dye in terms of durability, this dye can be noted as the best. The color is not only persistent, but also uniform, saturated along the entire length of the hair.

Which hair dye is safer in terms of chemical composition

Any professional with the necessary experience will tell you which dye is better to dye your hair without harm, and the answer will be simple: "Ammonia-free". High-quality coloring is carried out regularly, which, when using standard dyes, spoils the hair. High fragility, dullness, weakness are often manifested. It is precisely such a substance as ammonia that bears significant harm. It is he who is found in most persistent paints. The outer hair coat is disturbed and the pigment penetrates deeply, predetermining the color durability.

Based on this, it is better to use gentle paints that are also suitable for home use. However, there is one drawback - the rapid washout of color. As a result, when answering the question of which dye is good for hair from the standpoint of respect for them, one thing can be said - ammonia-free. But, unfortunately, it does not always allow you to achieve the desired color.

In this article, we'll take a look at the best hair dyes for home use.

It seems that there is nothing easier - come to the store and choose the packaging you like with the desired shade. But this is only at first glance. Such a rash act can do great harm. Both your hair and your appearance.

When choosing the best hair dye for home use, you need to consider a number of key factorsaffecting its quality:

• Persistence - only high-quality paint, capable of maintaining hair color, practically unchanged, up to 7 weeks. Cheap products, washed out in 2-3 weeks after application.
• Harmlessness - paints based on natural dyes. They strengthen hair, give it shine and smoothness. Does not affect hair structure. Absolutely non-allergenic. Their only drawback is that if there is a desire to dye your hair with chemical paint, you can get a completely unexpected result, often sad.
• Ammonia percentage. The higher this percentage, the brighter and more durable color you can get. It is ammonia that promotes deep penetration of the dye into the hair structure. Due to its harmful effect on hair, most of the well-known manufacturers began to replace ammonia with more gentle oxidizing agents.
• Smell - the best hair dye for home use - should not have too pungent and unpleasant odor. High-quality products contain, in their composition, a number of essential oils, which helps to minimize the pungent odor. The worse the paint smells, the higher the percentage of harmful substances it contains. And the likelihood of an allergic scalp reaction increases.
• Price - even if beautiful packaging, cheap paint, promises an unsurpassed result, this does not mean that in reality, it will turn out exactly the desired color. The expensive quality components used by manufacturers to create paint cannot be cheap. The pursuit of a low price can lead to a deplorable state of the hair and then, you will have to spend many times more to return the hair to its previous appearance.
• Brand awareness on the market. It is worth trusting well-established brands that have a lot of positive reviews and a long history. Any well-known manufacturer has a website where they are presented, certificates, awards and a complete list of paint series. You can, without unnecessary risk, choose a suitable product by carefully studying its characteristics.
• Packaging - must be undamaged, tightness must in no case be broken. The paint should not expire, otherwise the hair after dyeing may turn out, not only of a different color, but also dull and lifeless.
• Matching the declared color... On each package with paint, a table is indicated, which shows, based on the available hair color, which one will turn out after dyeing. You should not trust only the color on the package, it is better to compare it with the palette of shades that is available in every store. So the opportunity to acquire the desired shade will increase.

Choosing the right hair color will help hide facial imperfections, make your skin fresher, and add radiance to your eyes. The main thing is not to be mistaken with the choice of shade. A detailed analysis of facial features and skin type will help here.

Ladies with a reddish skin tone, it is better to refrain from dyeing their hair red or red. And natural chestnut shades or dark blond will help to visually even out the complexion.

Black color often makes a woman a couple of years older. Even a natural brunette, lightening her hair a couple of tones, will seem younger to others. Dark shades visually narrow the face, add pallor to the skin. Blond girls with blue or gray eyes should not dye their hair black.
