How to give your hair a natural golden color. Golden hue using traditional methods
Rarely is a woman happy with her natural color hair. You always want to correct, or even radically change, what nature has given. And the modern beauty industry provides such an opportunity. Permanent paints for hair can quickly give it beautiful shade, turning you from, say, a brunette to a radiant blonde. The only problem is that even the best dyes are harmful to hair because they contain aggressive chemical components. " Good alternative permanent paints— tint products that do not penetrate deep into the hair shaft, but only envelop it, remaining on the scales and under them, says Irina Arkhagova, master stylist of a beauty salon “ Golden ratio" — Hydrogen peroxide is not used in such preparations, therefore natural pigment does not wash out of hair. You can strengthen your natural shade or make it a few shades darker. But, unfortunately, such products cannot radically lighten hair. They can only give any light nuance already bleached hair.”
Toning products also help care for curls: they contain vitamins, natural oils and plant extracts. Tint products are available in the form of paints, balms, tonics, masks and shampoos. Be careful with the latter: shampoos have alkaline environment and with frequent, and even more so incorrect use, you can dry out your hair. “It is recommended to do tinting once a month or 2 weeks after using permanent paint if you need to refresh the color,” says Irina Arkhagova. — If you notice that your colored hair has become drier and duller, add intensely moisturizing balms and masks to your care. And here nutrients Don’t get carried away - they wash out the coloring pigments from the hair.”
Natural dyes
You can give your hair a beautiful shade using vegetable dyes. They not only change color, but also make hair healthier and accelerate growth. Natural products are suitable for curls in any condition; they are not capable of harming the hair. They are also distinguished by their durability and naturalness of shades.
* Golden tone Common hops, fallen birch leaves, calendula or juniper berries will add hair to your hair.
* Straw color curls can be obtained using yarrow and barley sprouts.
* Chestnut palette will provide dyes from the shell walnut, buckthorn bark, nettle, sea buckthorn.
* Red-golden shades will be given to the hair by chamomile, onion peel and cranberry.
But there is one more important nuance. « Natural dyes It’s better to use if you don’t use industrial ones,” says Irina Arkhagova. - Any dyed hair is damaged to one degree or another and can settle on the scales. If you use permanent or tinted products again, there is a high risk that the resulting color will be far from the desired one, because... particles vegetable paint will slow down or even completely change the chemical reaction.”

To increase the richness of the tone, take 2 tablespoons of chamomile flowers, juice from ½ lemon and oil. You should rinse your hair with this decoction every 2 days. If you want to hide gray hair, add 3 tablespoons of glycerin to the product.
WITH gray strands A mixture of rhubarb and chamomile also works. This decoction should be rubbed into the roots after washing.
22 April 2014, 14:02It's a rare woman who is happy with her natural hair color. You always want to correct, or even radically change, what nature has given. And the modern beauty industry provides such an opportunity. Permanent hair dyes can quickly give your hair a beautiful shade, turning you from, say, a brunette to a radiant blonde. The only problem is that even the best dyes are harmful to hair because they contain aggressive chemical components. “A good alternative to permanent dyes are tint products that do not penetrate deep into the hair shaft, but only envelop it, remaining on and under the scales,” says Irina Arkhagova, master stylist at the Golden Section beauty salon. — Hydrogen peroxide is not used in such preparations, so the natural pigment is not washed out of the hair. You can enhance your natural shade or make it several shades darker. But, unfortunately, such products cannot radically lighten hair. They can only add any light nuance to already bleached hair.”
Tinting products also help care for curls: they contain vitamins, natural oils and plant extracts. Tint products are available in the form of paints, balms, tonics, masks and shampoos. Be careful with the latter: shampoos have an alkaline environment and with frequent, and even more so incorrect use, you can dry out your hair. “It is recommended to do tinting once a month or 2 weeks after using permanent paint if you need to refresh the color,” says Irina Arkhagova. — If you notice that your colored hair has become drier and duller, add intensely moisturizing balms and masks to your care. But don’t get carried away with nutritional products - they wash out the coloring pigments from the hair.”
Natural dyes
You can also give your hair a beautiful shade using vegetable dyes. They not only change color, but also make hair healthier and accelerate growth. Natural products are suitable for curls in any condition; they are not capable of harming the hair. They are also distinguished by their durability and naturalness of shades.
*Golden tone Common hops, fallen birch leaves, calendula or juniper berries will add hair to your hair.
* Straw color curls can be obtained using yarrow and barley sprouts.
* Chestnut palette will provide dyes from walnut shells, buckthorn bark, nettles, and sea buckthorn.
* Red-golden shades will be given to the hair by chamomile, onion peel and cranberry.
But there is one more important nuance. “It is better to use natural dyes if you do not use industrial ones,” says Irina Arkhagova. - Any dyed hair is damaged to one degree or another and can settle on the scales. If you use permanent or tinted products again, there is a high risk that the resulting color will be far from the desired one, because... particles of vegetable dye will slow down, or even completely change the chemical reaction.”
