How long does it take to re-dye your hair?

Hair coloring is an indispensable procedure for a woman. It allows you to hide gray strands, gives a rich color to the hairstyle. The right tone enhances facial features and even rejuvenates.

The effect of hair dye and fixing its color is as follows. Ammonia in its composition exfoliates hair scales and coloring pigments get inside the hair shaft. As a result, it acquires a porous structure, which makes it more brittle and brittle. The natural pigment is also destroyed, the hair becomes dry and lifeless, loses its shine and silkiness.

The coloring matter affects not only the hair shaft, but also its follicle. That is, the hair loses its strength even in the embryo and grows back already weakened. In addition, the scalp also becomes dry, which may lead to dandruff and itching.

A number of scientists claim that the dye is harmful not only to hair, but to the entire body as a whole. It can cause cancers such as leukemia or lymphoma to develop. In the course of the research it was found that those women who, for 5 years, dyed their hair more than once a month, acquired various liver diseases. This is due to the fact that paints contain toxic substances that poison the body.

Of course, there is no single answer to the question of how often you can dye your hair. It all depends on several factors:

• hair structure;
• its density;
• colors;
• type of paint.

Shampooing affects the persistence of the artificial color. Its daily repetition is especially dangerous. The water opens the hair scales and washes out the coloring pigment from them. Cold water is less aggressive in this regard than hot water. But still, the washout effect is maintained. The hardness of the water also matters: a soft liquid will have a beneficial effect on color fastness.

If a woman has thick, strong hair, then her hairstyle will withstand dyeing much easier than thin, sparse strands. Thick curls can be dyed a little more often than thin ones. And they grow back faster. The curly structure of the hair can hide some color irregularities. For example, overgrown roots are less noticeable on them. But straight strands completely give out all the flaws, which is why they have to be tinted more often.

The frequency of hair dyeing directly depends on the type of dye chosen and the type of dyeing. If the natural color of your strands differs significantly from the artificial one, then the painting scheme will be as follows. Roots are renewed once every 3 weeks, and the entire length is renewed every 2 months. This applies to dyeing dark hair in light shades and vice versa.

In the event that the original color differs from the acquired one by 1-2 tones, the hair can be re-dyed after the next dyeing after 4 weeks. The colored hairstyle has a slight advantage due to its multi-tone. The variety of shades partially hides the regrown color, which allows it to withstand for a longer time without painting.

The frequency of dyeing highlighted hair depends on its shade. The minimum interval should be 2 weeks. On average, this period is reduced to 4-6 weeks. As for ammonia-free dyes, information about their absolute safety is slightly exaggerated. They still contain a certain part of ammonia and they also bring a share of negative. Therefore, the dyeing scheme with such paints is similar to that of ammonia paints.

Also, hair dyes are divided into professional and non-professional. The composition of professional products includes various vitamin and restorative complexes, oils, due to which they are considered more gentle. Coloring with them is allowed to be done every 3 weeks.

There is another category of coloring agents. These are tinted shampoos and tonics. Their vocation is to preserve the brightness and expressiveness of color. Their coloring elements are not embedded in the hair structure, but envelop it from above. Despite the gentle action, such products are unsafe. They are allowed to be used no more often than once every 2 weeks. Otherwise, they are also able to dry out the strands.

The most common natural hair coloring products are, of course, henna and basma. They will not radically change the color, but they will make the shade of the hair more expressive. They do not destroy the hair structure, but, on the contrary, strengthen it, make it more durable and give it a natural shine. There are no time limits for them. Frequent use will only improve the condition of your curls. But, nevertheless, these dyes are recommended for use in the composition of masks. They are mixed with honey, all kinds of oils, vitamins.Such an alliance not only enhances the nourishment of the hair, but also moisturizes it.

The most optimal option for using natural dyes is once a week. It is not recommended to use basma alone, in this case there is a risk of acquiring a greenish tint. Better to mix it with henna.

Currently, there are many procedures that allow you to restore damaged hair structure, make it more manageable and attractive. One of them is keratinization - treatment of strands with a special keratin composition that nourishes them, straightens them and acts as a protective factor.

Since during this manipulation the hairstyle is exposed to the chemical composition, the question arises: when can it be dyed and whether the color will hold. Experts say that there is no point in dyeing curls day in and day out with keratinization. In this case, the shade will be much lighter than the declared one, moreover, it will quickly wash off. The best option is to paint at least 7 days before the procedure. This will not only preserve color fastness, but also add extra shine.

After keratin hair is recommended to be dyed after 2-3 weeks. If you do this earlier, then the composition with which the hairs are impregnated will prevent the passage of the coloring pigment into the structure of the hair shaft, and the strands simply will not stain.

If the color has become much darker or it does not suit you drastically, use a washer or pickling. This process consists of applying a special composition to your hairstyle. It allows you to completely remove the obscene color. But it so happens that the procedure has to be repeated a second time.

Naturally, this will not go unnoticed for your curls. They become dry, lose their elasticity and strength. Their loss is possible. Accordingly, they require restoration. Therefore, after washing, to maintain color, it is allowed to dye the hair only with gentle agents in the form of tint shampoos or foams. It is allowed to use persistent paints again only after a month.
