Ammonia-free paints

Bleaching hair at home using dyes without ammonia requires a careful approach. This is due to the fact that such products do not have the ability to affect the integrity of the pigment, but only cover it.

To choose the right shade, you should be guided by the basic rules of color.

The most popular types of ammonia-free paints:

Powder (powder)

Powder or powder designed to lighten the entire hairstyle or individual curls can change color by 7-8 tones. The composition is used, both for light brown hair that has not been dyed, and for dark curls that have already been dyed.

It is not recommended to use the powder for independent staining, since the procedure implies an assessment of the initial state of the curls, as well as knowledge of the technique of dilution and application of the product.

1. Always wear gloves to protect your hands.

Experts recommend applying masks no more than 1 time a week, alternating between lightening and nourishing.
