Toner is an inexpensive well-known means for toning hair. It is quite famous for its wide palette of colors and ease of use. Many girls are faced with the fact that the tint is not washed off the hair for the right time, spoiling the appearance for a long time with a boring shade of hair.
The article discusses basic tips on how and what to wash off the tonic from your hair, how to do it quickly, and how to tidy up your hair after removing an unwanted shade.
How quickly tint products are washed off
Hair tinting products are popular due to the fact that they practically do not harm hair, and the new color is quickly washed off. The pigment does not get inside the hair, but envelops it and forms a film, which gradually collapses and the color disappears. However, it is difficult to say exactly how long the shade will last on the hair. It depends on which tone was chosen.
The most persistent colors from the Tonic palette are black and blue. Bright colors are displayed independently for a long time, within 2-3 months. The most easily removed shades are light.
An important role is played by the base - the color on which the Tonic was applied. From light brown and brown hair, the tint balm is removed quite quickly, usually within 1-2 weeks. Dark shades of Tonics are washed off from natural light hair a little longer, about 2 and a half - 3 weeks. The most difficult thing to wash off the balm is from bleached and colored hair. It will take 3-5 weeks.
| Base | Tonic Shade | Pigment washout time |
| Light (natural) | Light coloured | 1-2 weeks |
| Light (clarified) | Light coloured | 1.5-2.5 weeks |
| Light (natural) | Dark | 2.5-3 weeks |
| Light (clarified) | Dark | 3-5 weeks |
| Light | Bright (blue, red, black) | 2-3 months |
| Dark | Dark | 1-2 weeks |
| Dark | Bright (blue, red, black) | 1.5-2 months |
It is worth remembering that everything is individual and the color can remain on the hair for a long time. The durability of the shade depends on the condition of the hair, the frequency of washing, the durability of the shade itself.
Ways to quickly remove tint coloring from hair
There are many ways to quickly wash off the tint balm. The safest way is to contact an experienced colorist, but if you decide to get rid of the color at home, then you should do it carefully and follow all the instructions.
Hair wash
You can quickly wash off Tonic from your hair using a regular hair wash. To do this, wash the curls very often, for example, several times a day.
For the method to work faster, the regular shampoo should be replaced with a product for oily hair or containing oils. Using balms containing oils after shampooing will accelerate the removal of the shade.
Tonic washes away laundry soap well from hair. But It dries out the curls a lot. After using laundry soap, be sure to use a balm or make a mask.
Alcohol mask
A mask with alcohol is an effective remedy for getting rid of tint staining in 1-2 applications. However, it can damage the scalp and dry out the hair. Therefore, you need to follow the instructions exactly: in no case keep the mask on your head for too long and do not violate the proportions.
For the mask, you need vegetable oil and alcohol. They are mixed in a 1: 1 ratio and applied to the hair. Avoid getting a large amount of the mask on the root of the hair and scalp. The mask stays on the hair for 5 minutes and then is thoroughly washed off with shampoo several times in a row. Be sure to moisturize your hair with balm after applying the mask.
Rinsing with soda solution
Rinsing with a soda-based solution will help to quickly rinse Tonic from hair. To do this, 80-100 g of baking soda are dissolved in 2 liters of warm water.
Rinse your hair in the solution, and then rinse it thoroughly. You can also add baking soda to shampoo while washing your hair.
Sour milk mask
Masks based on fermented milk products are effective for removing Tonics. Do not use foods with culinary additives for the mask. Simple kefir or fermented baked milk is ideal.
The fermented milk product is applied to the hair, then you need to put on a plastic cap on your head and hold the mask for 40-60 minutes. This method does not completely wash off the color; in order to obtain a significant result, the fermented milk mask will need to be done several times, preferably with an interval of several days.
Oil mask
You can quickly wash off the tonic from your hair using oil masks. Cosmetic oils remove tint balm from hair quite well. The oils envelop the hair and draw out the tonic pigment well. Usually burdock or almond oil is used for this purpose. However, if there are none, then you can use ordinary olive or sunflower oil.
The oil is applied to damp hair and kept for an hour and a half. It is necessary to wash off the oil mask with the help of shampoo for oily hair 2-3 times, since the oil, due to its density, is difficult to wash off completely the first time.
Black cosmetic clay
Ordinary black cosmetic clay will quickly help wash Tonic from hair. For a black clay mask, you need to dilute it in warm water to such a consistency that the mask is not too thick, but does not drip from the hair. You need to keep the mask for 3-5 minutes. Black clay can be replaced with white or blue cosmetic clay.
After the mask, the hair needs to be moistened, as the clay dries it quite a bit.
Combined masks for removing toning stains
Removal Masks Hair tonics may contain several components. They are usually prepared on the basis of cosmetic or food products. Natural ingredients and oils in such products contribute to the rapid removal of pigment.
Lemon mask
This mask is the easiest to prepare. For a lemon wash mask, you will need several lemons (depending on hair length). For an average hair length, 2 lemons are enough. Lemons are thoroughly washed and steamed, and then minced in a meat grinder. The resulting mixture is applied over the entire length of the hair and washed off after 40-50 minutes.
Citric acid will help remove pigment. The mask can be repeated the next day. Lemon juice can also be added to shampoo while shampooing, but the effect will be less noticeable.
Colorless henna mask
Colorless henna is able to remove color pigment from hair. The main thing is not to confuse colorless henna with coloring, otherwise it will lead to an even more unexpected and more difficult to remove shade of hair.
For a white henna mask, you will need the following ingredients:
- a bag of colorless henna;
- half a glass of low-fat kefir;
- egg.
Colorless henna powder is poured into a plastic bowl, kefir and egg yolk are added there. The components are thoroughly mixed and applied to the hair. Henna mask is safe, so you can keep it for one and a half to two hours. It is advisable to wash off the mask without shampoo - it already perfectly nourishes and cleanses the hair.If necessary, repeat the mask after a few days.
Honey mask
To prepare a natural honey-based remover mask you will need:
- 3 tbsp liquid honey;
- 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice;
- 1 tsp vegetable oil.
The components are mixed and heated slightly to make the mask slightly warm. Then the honey mask is carefully rubbed into the hair and the head is covered with a plastic cap. You can hold such a mask for 50-90 minutes.
The mask is necessarily washed off with shampoo, since the honey and oil that make up it are quite difficult to wash off with water.
Chamomile mask
Chamomile is a herb that is beneficial for more than just antibacterial and soothing properties. Chamomile infusion will help remove the toning agent from your hair. The mask is prepared from 40 g of chamomile, which are poured with boiling water and infused for 30-40 minutes.
After that, the infusion must be cooled and filtered. In it, the hair must be rinsed for 5-10 minutes. You can also add a little dry nettle to the infusion, since this herb is also capable of removing persistent pigments.
Mayonnaise mask
It sounds strange, but regular mayonnaise can help wash Tonic from hair. This is done due to the fact that it contains vegetable oil, egg yolks and citric acid. Mayonnaise should be brought to room temperature and applied in a thick layer to the colored curls.
It is best to put on a disposable cap on top and wrap it in a towel to warm up the mask. You need to keep the mayonnaise mask for 2-3 hours, and then thoroughly rinse it off with a shampoo for oily hair. The mayonnaise mask will not only wash away the pigment, but also give your hair a healthy look and shine.
