All about Estel hair dyes

There are many paint manufacturers on the market today, among which Estel products are considered one of the most sought after as they are available for sale at a reasonable price. The brand's palette is so diverse that it allows blondes and brunettes to choose their own shade.

Many modern women prefer Estel hair dyes. Professional formulations are also used in beauty salons. The manufacturer has created a special composition that contains components that provide the necessary care system for curls at the time of dyeing. In addition to the fact that a woman gets the desired color, she in addition uses a paint that is able to take care of the curls, and not harm them. The inclusion of the keratin complex in the list of ingredients made it possible to create an innovative solution for curls that need not only to be transformed, but also to restore their structure, and restore elasticity.

The composition contains guarana seed extract, green tea and other components that provide the necessary hydration and nutrition to the hair at the time of dyeing. After coloring, the curls acquire a healthy shiny appearance, visually, it seems that they increase in volume.

The non-professional palette is composed of more than 74 colors, when mixed, you can achieve an individual unique shade. In this area, a woman's fantasy is unlimited, however, before applying the composition to the hair, it is worth testing it on a separate strand to see if it is the right color.Experts with extensive experience have learned how to create shades that are as close to natural as possible.

If we talk about the quality of Estel products, then it is always at the highest level. The popularity of the brand is only gaining momentum, the main task of the developer and chemist by education Lev Okhotin was to bring to the modern market a hair dye that will be easy to use, will be in no way inferior in quality to professional products, and at the same time will please with an affordable cost.

It took many months of research, after which the first 15 shades appeared on the market. The paint was ideal for independent use, and after a few years it managed to establish itself as a durable and reliable product. From a small workshop, production moved to a factory. Already in 2005, a professional series appeared on the market, in which 67 shades were offered to women.

Compared to most other manufacturers, Estel paint did not lose quality throughout the entire production process. Today it enjoys success not only in the domestic market, but also abroad. The product is also used in expensive salons, as it demonstrates good color fastness.

The manufacturer has repeatedly patented its unique formulas included in the composition of the dye, they help not only change the color of the hair, but also have a positive effect on them. An amazing color palette allows you to achieve unsurpassed success even at home, without the need for a specialist. Among the lines offered, you can find not only classic shades, but also trendy, bolder and more vibrant ones.

As with any product, Estel paints have both advantages and disadvantages. Among the main advantages that brought the brand to the world level, it is worth noting the following:

• the ideal combination of affordable cost and excellent quality, while the product is not inferior to even more expensive counterparts;
• most women note the absence of a pungent smell, on the contrary, thanks to good fragrances, it is very pleasant;
• the composition contains additional moisturizing and nourishing components for hair, including an extract from ylang-ylang, the previously mentioned guarana, green tea, and the manufacturer also added keratins to the complex; each of the additional components allows you to restore and strengthen curls;
• Estel has a very convenient paint texture, it is simply applied to the hair, it does not drip from it; there is even a shimmery pigment in the composition, it was he who made it possible to create the correct consistency;
• a wide variety of shades not only for blondes, but also for brunettes, redheads; you can experiment if you want, mix several tones;
• Estel is one of the few brands that is able to paint over gray hair with high quality.

The product also has its drawbacks, although there are not many of them, namely:

• after washing the hair five times, the color loses its shine and becomes dull;
• most of the collections are more expensive than any other non-professional paint;
• ammonia-free products cannot cope with gray hair, and if they lighten hair, then only by a few tones.

For some reason, the girls had the opinion that you can give your hair the desired shade only with dyes that contain ammonia. In fact, this is not the case and Estel is a vivid example of this, since it supplies a lot of hair care products to the market, including toning, ammonia-free, semi-permanent and even slightly lightening curls.Over the years, new formulas have been developed, thanks to which it was possible to achieve a high-quality shade on the hair without the use of ammonia in the cream paint. Over time, the pigment accumulates in the hair, so the color is obtained with a single color, bright and saturated.

Not so long ago, ammonia-free paint and semi-permanent paint began to delight the fair sex, but even in such a short period of time they were able to win the sympathy of women. They are of high quality and affordable cost. Without interruption, Estel laboratories are working to create innovative solutions that could provide girls with greater safety.

There are not only ammonia and ammonia-free paints on sale, but also several tint products, including shampoos, foams, and even hair masks. Modern cream paints are distinguished by the presence in the K & Es complex, it is he who is necessary to create a persistent, intense color. After simple toning, the curls acquire additional volume, become shiny and silky. Such hair becomes easier to comb, it quickly falls into the desired hairstyle.

The composition of toning cream paints contains keratins and extracts of various plants, it is they that allow you to make the curls smooth, elastic, since they provide the necessary moisture. Toning hair mask is a completely new, not well-known product from the Estel company, which comes in a bottle with a dispenser. The composition contains components that are useful and necessary for curls, including the following:

• lactic acid;
• oils;
• vitamins;
• beeswax.

Such a tool provides high-quality care for curls, returns the lost shine, and at the same time produces a light coloring effect. After application, the necessary protective film is formed on the hair, which can protect against harmful effects. After the procedure carried out even at home, the shine and radiance that emanate from the strands cannot but please.

Another, no less interesting option is tint foam. So far, there are only 10 shades on sale that are most in demand among women. It contains acrylic acids, a dye, and additional components that improve the quality of the effect on the hair. Such a product has an instant effect, which becomes visible to the naked eye just a few minutes after application. The strands become soft, the color is saturated, the required shade depth appears.

Useful trace elements in the composition saturate the curls with moisture and vitamins. The manufacturer has taken care of a comfortable form so that it is easy to use the foam at home.

A more familiar form of tint product for modern women is shampoo, which is also produced by Estel. The product is produced in bottles, in the composition you can find various plant extracts that have a beneficial effect on the hair structure. Shampoo has a positive effect not only on curls, but also on the scalp. It has been proven in practice that it helps to heal possible wounds and abrasions.

All painting lines offered by Estel, can be divided into two large groups:

• household;
• professional.

However, this classification is arbitrary, since even professional products are easy to use at home after a detailed study of the instructions. The only difference is the ability to mix several shades with each other and the use of a suitable oxidizing agent, and not what the manufacturer applies to the paint. Household products have a more gentle formula, which is done so that inexperienced girls do not burn their hair. They are supplied ready-to-use. The result is the same as if the staining took place within the walls of a professional salon. As a pleasant addition to the pack, there is always a color fixing balm.

The professional line consists of several separate series, each of which was created by the manufacturer to solve specific tasks. Products from this series are selected taking into account the original shade and condition of the strands. Sometimes an additional corrector is used in the salon, which helps to lighten the hair or use several shades at once in one composition.

It all started with the production of the Princess Essex line, which was later split into several groups. The most commonly used shades are collected in Essex Professional. Depending on what percentage the master chooses an oxidizing agent, such a paint is used for both persistent coloring and light toning of hair. There are also super lighteners, which are extremely necessary for those women who would like to turn into a blonde, regardless of the natural tone of the curls. For young people, the manufacturer presented in the same line an ultra-fashionable collection used for color highlighting, as well as correctors.

The DeLuxe series is a high-tech product that contains innovative formulas. Thanks to the use of such paint, the curls acquire incredible shine and become smooth. It is difficult to miss the intensity of the color after using any product from the collection. Most of the products contain ammonia, so they are great for lasting dyeing, but there are also ammonia-free paints presented by the Sence group. This option is used when it is necessary to lighten already severely damaged hair by several tones.

For women who have already experienced age-related hair changes, the company offers the DeLuxe Silver series, which is specifically designed for gray curls. It was created in such a way as to guarantee the girl an excellent effect. The coloring pigment in such a paint penetrates deeply into the hair structure and lasts until the next coloring. Those who do not know how to overcome the unattractive yellowness in hair should try Anti-Yellow Effect tint balms. They are usually used after bleaching.

Before using such a product, the company does not tire of reminding that it is very important to study the instructions in detail. Some girls remain true to the opinion that it is better to use products that require professional experience in a salon. Non-professional products are suitable for home staining, especially since the manufacturer has already taken into account the proportions and provided an equally wide choice of colors.

In the Celebrity collection of ammonia-free paints, you can find products that are enriched with natural plant extracts, including extracts and oils. Most often these are olive and avocado, as their vitamins and oils have a special beneficial effect on the hair. During staining, there is no negative effect on the curls. The palette allows you to choose among shades.

For intense coloring, it is better to use a line called Love Intense. Although the products do not contain ammonia, the coloring pigment is perfectly absorbed into the hair structure. The collection features ultra-modern shades for daring women. This is the unrivaled purple, burgundy that gained popularity last season, yellow and copper palette.

If a girl is not ready for drastic changes, then she should try toning balms. The palette contains 17 shades that allow you to give your hair a completely different look. You can not only experiment, but also refresh slightly burnt-out strands. Completely after staining, the selected shade will be washed out after 8 washings of the head.

When you want a more lasting color, then it is better to pay attention to the palette of another series - Only Color. All products are enriched with liquid keratin and panthenol, they contain vitamins and even components that provide special protection against the negative effects of ultraviolet rays. The product is produced in the form of a cream paint, therefore it is easy to apply and does not spread, it is easier to distribute it evenly along the entire length. Despite the fact that ammonia is among the constituent elements, its effect is minimal. The palette will delight you with 32 shades, among which every girl will find something of her own.

For women who are inclined towards more natural tones, it is better to turn to the Only Color Naturals series. It features the following saturated colors:

• chocolate;
• golden blond;
• chestnut;
• Brown;
• fair-haired.

Solo Color is a gentle, long-lasting paint containing tea tree oil. The main distinguishing feature is a pleasant smell. After applying paint, an amazing shine appears on the curls. You can choose a color from 25 shades, some of them are brighter, such as:

• coral;
• pomegranate;
• ripe cherry color;
• ginger;
• titian.

For light toning, the company offers Solo Ton coloring balms. There are 18 subtones in the collection, all of them are washed off after 6 times. The main purpose of this product is to maintain the saturation of the natural shade of the hair. If a girl decides on color highlighting, then the Solo Contrast line is the best choice for independent performance, which offers high-quality toning of curls.

Each package contains two paints, as well as a clarifier. Using such a kit is very simple. Due to the discoloration of the strands, the result is very bright at first.

The latest development of the company is the Estel Color line of paints. The manufacturer has created a special fortified composition that offers 25 shades to choose from. This is an ammonia-free product, so the effect on the hair structure is very gentle. Additional care is provided by additional useful components. In combination with another formulation - Vital, the color lasts longer on the hair.

Haute Couture Vintage provides one hundred percent coverage of gray hair, while the shade turns out to be rich, a special shine appears on the curls. One can very simply characterize such a product - an innovative technology, the formula of which combines cationic components and a hybrid dye. Thanks to a successful development, scientists have managed to achieve persistent, deep hair coloring. The coloring pigment provides the curls with shine for a long time.

It is difficult to describe the entire palette of paints from the company, but you can divide the shades into groups according to the main color. Estel's collections include about 113 basic colors, for blondes - more than 10 and the same number of correctors. Bright colors are made in only 5 versions. And also a pastel palette is presented, in which only 4 colors are collected. For dark brown-haired women, I suggest taking a pure shade as a basis or using it with a reddish tint. Ordinary brown-haired women have more choice in this direction, because, in addition to the proposed options, there is a very interesting combination of purple with brown, just brown or especially for gray curls.

Most of all, the color scheme is offered for light brown-haired women, in which copper undertones are very dominant, including in combination with red and brown... Some colors are separately presented for gray curls, for example, purple, brown and red. Many combinations are simply brown, but with a reddish tint, purple or enhanced color. For girls with light brown hair, the company can offer a natural shade, correctly selected for a dark, light or normal natural type. In addition, you can find ash in the collection.

In the Essex series, completely different tones, namely:

• black night;
• mocha;
• pink;
• chocolate;
• Burgundy;
• Cherry;
• ruby;
• mahogany;
• rosewood;
• espresso;
• ice brown and others.

Depending on which paint is used, the application technology may differ. If we consider a non-ammonia product, then the process of use should look like this:

• you will need to first unpack the paint and look at the attached instructions;
• disposable gloves are always inserted inside the package, they are necessary to protect hands from the effects of an oxidizing agent and a coloring pigment; they must be put on, and a towel or other blanket is placed on top of the shoulders, which is not a pity;
• a plastic container is used to mix the components, since the composition does not oxidize in it, any metal objects will need to be excluded; it will be necessary to dilute the paint in the proportion that the manufacturer offers, because everything is clearly measured, paint is applied to the hair with a special brush, it is this brush that allows the composition to be evenly distributed along the entire length;
• such products do not need to be aged, they will already give the desired color on the hair;
• for medium-length hair that is not too thick, one bottle of paint is enough, and with a longer length it is worth stocking up on several at once; it is necessary to use the mixture completely, since then it will be already unusable;
• if this is the first staining, then the composition is applied to the entire length, from the root zone to the very ends; after they are well dyed, it is worth going through the comb a few more times in order to exclude the appearance of spots later;
• the manufacturer advises using a plastic cap to protect the dye from drying out on the hair, since in this case it stops working; if it is not there, you can simply cover the curls with a bag - such a simple trick will allow you to achieve a more intense color;
• it will take 40 minutes for the pigment to be absorbed into the hair with high quality;
• the coloring composition is washed off under running warm water; you can use a small amount of shampoo if dyeing was done on dirty hair, and at the end a fixing balm must be applied, which is in each package;
• when the curls are painted over again, then first of all the composition is applied to the root zone; you do not need to wet your head so that the paint is better distributed along the entire length, on the contrary, in this case it may start to drain, become liquid and it will not be possible to achieve the desired effect;
• only half an hour after the roots have dyed, you can apply the product to the rest - and here it is already allowed to lightly sprinkle them from a spray bottle so that the paint has a minimum effect on the already painted curls, but at the same time renews the color;
• after the composition is kept on the hair for another 20 minutes and can be washed off with water, apply a balm.

When using tinting paint, the process will be slightly different, including the following steps:

1. they put gloves on their hands, and put a blanket on their shoulders, as in the first case;
2. hair will need to be divided into 4 parts: two temporal and two occipital;
3. apply the toning composition starting from the occipital region, since it takes longer to paint over;
4. for convenience and even distribution of paint, use a brush and a comb with frequent teeth;
5. paint is diluted exclusively in a plastic container, all other tools should also not have metal elements;
6. the time during which it is worth keeping the mixture on the head is up to 30 minutes, depending on what effect you want to achieve;
7. after the hair is washed with plain water and the balm included in the package is applied.

When using a toning mask, you will need to adhere to the following algorithm of actions:

1. first, wash your hair well with shampoo; you do not need to dry them, just blot it with a towel so that the curls remain slightly damp;
2. the mask is distributed evenly over all hair, it is especially necessary to grease the back of the head, roots and ends; an ideal tool would be a special medium-hard bristle brush;
3. after the composition is completely applied to the hair, it must be combed well with a frequent comb;
4. the mask is kept on the hair for no more than 10 minutes, it does not last longer; there is no need to use a hat for additional insulation;
5. wash off the composition with plain warm water;
6. the hair is not dried with a hairdryer, but simply blotted with a towel.

Important! Even with such a short-term exposure, the result is quite bright, but it is not recommended to use such a mask more than twice in a row.

The situation with the tint foam is a little more complicated, since it is first prepared, then applied to the hair. So, it is worth adhering to the following algorithm of steps:

1. the manufacturer gives a bottle in which it is necessary to mix two other components - an oxidizing agent and a coloring composition; do not shake the jar;
2. first wash your hair and dry it, as this is a prerequisite;
3. the foam is rubbed into the hair with your fingertips; holding time - up to 10 minutes;
4. then they are washed off with plain water and then a special balm is used in the kit.

It is used as a regular hair care product. There are no restrictions, this composition allows you to make your hair smooth and shiny. To achieve a more intense color, it is worth holding the shampoo on your head for 10 minutes. After it is completely washed off the head, it is advisable to blot the curls with a towel. It must be remembered that paint can remain on it, so you should not take a light one.

For the most part, the reviews about the paints of this manufacturer are good, but an unpleasant surprise may await the girls, which has nothing to do with the quality of the products. The whole point is that when choosing the desired shade, the fair sex does not even think about whether the natural shade and the chosen one will be combined.A bad option is to try to make a darker one out of natural or previously dyed red, using a light brown color palette. It turns out to be a very unattractive, dirty, even slightly swampy color, which can hardly be called interesting. This also applies to many other combination options, so it is important to try on one single strand before you start experimenting.
