Crayons for coloring hair

Do not feed modern girls with bread - let me conduct another experiment on my appearance. Some are limited to a new hairdo, manicure or dress, others act more radically: cut hair, make piercings or tattoos.

The most common way of experimenting with the image and appearance is to color the hair in a variety of colors. On the shelves of shops you can find funds with different duration of effect and all sorts of shades - from the usual platinum blonde or blue-black to fiery-red, the color of swamp water or crystal blue.

Girls who want to stand out, but who do not immediately risk changing their image, come to the aid of hair chalks, also known as dry pastels. What is this tool and in what its miracle? We tell!

Why do we need crayons for hair?

Even more often on the street you can meet girls and even adult women with a non-standard shade of hair - red, pink, blue, purple and even green. Fashion for such extravagant hairstyles almost simultaneously came from America and Japan, and now even women of serious age ask stylists to "add a spark" to the familiar ombre.

You can give your hair a non-standard shade in three ways:

• with a paint that gives an effect for 3-4 weeks with proper care;
• toning agent( the color will last up to 2.5 weeks);
• with chalk for staining( until the nearest wash of the head).

In fact, many manufacturers that have a line with bright shades are oriented to young people, so their colors do not contain most of the chemicals that adversely affect the hair condition, and the coloring element is extracted in the most natural way.

Some manufacturers even advise to stain the hair at night and wash off the paint in the morning, claiming that such tricks in no way affect the health and beauty of the hair. And what is most surprising, the effect fully meets expectations. But such colors have one significant minus - stamina Not every girl is ready to risk and so radically change the habitual image.

Most girls use toning means( they are also tonic).Their main advantage over paints in the short-term effect. As a rule, two weeks is enough to "play enough" with a bright color. Other positive moments are also added: it is possible to easily remove tonic residues, bringing color to the "original" state, and a pleasant price.

Crayons for hair appeared on the market of CIS countries relatively recently - from Japan and China. Perhaps, their price is not available for everyone, but manufacturers promise a miracle effect, for which it is worth paying this money. Turn into a bold rocker or an avid party girl with a mop of pink hair for just one party - is not it wonderful? This is really a rescue for those who want to experiment. But the chalk has enough pros and cons.

How safe are the crayons for dyeing hair?

Crayons for hair come in two types: dry and in the form of shadows.

1. Dry similar to the classic chalk for the board, only in a special wrapper. They paint their hair about the same way as they draw a picture on the asphalt: a thin prick with monotonous movements stains until a noticeable shade appears.
   
   
   
2. Chalk-shadow hides in a small box with a lid. It is much easier to use: you just need to clamp a thin strand of hair and slowly draw it down several times.

Advantages of coloring chalk:

• are non-toxic;
• , if used correctly, does not harm the hair;
• allows you to radically change the image in a short period of time;
• is easy to flush;
• staining process does not require special skills or equipment;
• a huge variety of colors;
• can be used even by children.

The second option can also give a shade of light hair, but, rather, it will crumble and only spoil your hands. Re-use will burn the hair so much that it will be extremely difficult to restore them. The cost of chalk in the form of shadows is slightly higher: from 250-300 rubles apiece.

A few more tricks

1. Light hair is easy to paint with your own hands in any shades, but brunettes are more suitable shades of blue, purple and green.
2. Happy owners of blond and blond hair can greatly simplify the process of dyeing hair, especially if the idea requires a toning of a large volume. Pour chalks into a container with a little warm water and mix thoroughly until it completely dissolves. Now, with this solution, rinse the hair strands until they have the desired shade.
   The owner of dark hair this method does not help: the result will be too weak and, most likely, invisible to others.
3. Even if you are lucky enough to get the best quality chalks, they will still dry your hair. After you wash off the dye from your hair, be sure to use moisturizing and nourishing agents.
4. For the above reason, do not use a dry pastel for dyeing hair more than once every 1.5-2 weeks. Be merciful to your head and let it rest.
5. Unlike paint and toning, crayons do not penetrate the inside of the hair, but paint it on the surface. Therefore, do not comb your hair after staining, otherwise the fruits of your efforts will instantly remain on the comb's teeth.
6. Chalks-shadows are a little bit fatter in structure, therefore hair is harmed less.
7. When buying chalks, be sure to look at the date of manufacture: a dried or delayed product can cause twice as much harm.
8. Color crayons for coloring hair can be matte or pearly. The second option looks much more interesting on the curls, as it creates the effect of professional paint. However, it is quite difficult to find and buy such a tool, only Chinese online stores will be able to help.
9. Be prepared for the fact that with active movement, for example, in a disco, chalk quickly sprinkles and the result will last for several hours.

What to do to make the coloring of the chalk not worsen the condition of the hair?

The effect of bright hair after applying chalk can not hold more than two days, even if your strands are badly damaged. However, stylists recommend not to put a bright image above the health of the hair and do not keep crayons in the curls longer than 6-8 hours. Do not forget also that if you do not wash your hair after this coloring, the next morning you wake up with a multicolored pillow.

So, so that the hair crayons do not leave a negative trace on your hair, follow these rules:

1. Crayons should not be cheap, try to learn as much as possible about the manufacturer before buying and take an interest in the feedback of other users. And watch the production date of the product.
2. It is necessary to stain strands strictly from top to bottom, the reverse order spoils the structure of the hair.
3. This color is excellent for the event, but not for the weekend. And certainly not designed for a week. If you want a long-term effect, it's better to experiment with the paints immediately.
4. In order for the color to remain bright longer and the curls do not stain the clothes, it is worth splashing the painted areas with varnish. This is another reason to wash your hair as soon as possible.
