Before embarking on home coloring we often ask ourselves lots of questions.We tell you everything you need to know before dyeing your hair at home!

How to know which head I will have after a homemade coloring?

At home, the Garnier sites.Fr and Loreal-Paris.fr offer a virtual reality tool that allows us to see us in real time on our computer screen, with the nuance we like.Just scan your photo.Lost in the colos department of the supermarket?In some points of sale like Monoprix, L’Oréal Paris has set up a QR code device.By scanning it, we access a questionnaire which helps us to determine the type of coloring and the shade that suits us.

I hesitate between 2 shades, should we choose the clearest or darkest?

A study has shown that we perceive our darker hair than reality.So, in case of doubt between two shades, we always choose the clearest tone on the color chart.

What are the best vegetable coloring?

There are vegetable colors.Composed of plant powders - henna, indigo, cassia, chamomile, turmeric...- They do not enter the fiber, but fix it on the surface thanks to the acidic pH of the hair.They offer pretty reflections and optimize the shine.Only downside, they do not completely cover white hair.

Vidéo du jour :

The figures on the hair coloring packs, what does that mean?

It’s a coloring scale.The first corresponds to the height of tone: from the darkest, the 1 intense black, the clearest blonde, the 11th.The following figures are the reflections: the first is a dominant reflection, the second secondary.We distinguish cold - ash (1) and iridescent (2) -, and hot - gold (3), copper (4), mahogany (5) and red (6) reflections (5).A coloring classified 4.1.5 will mean that it is a chestnut with a dominant ash reflection and mahogany in secondary reflection.

Is it better to choose a permanent coloring or a semi-permanent coloring?

If I have a lot of white hair to camouflage (more than 30 %) or if I want to change color: this is the permanent coloring I need.It occupies more than two thirds of the market.Its oxidation formula makes it possible to open the hair scales so that the pigments sneak in the heart of the fiber and offer total and long duration coverage.Only concern, it requires regular maintenance under penalty of root effects.If I have scattered white hair (less than 30 %) and dream of pretty reflections while transparent: I opt for the tone on your or semi-permanent.Here, the colorful pigments do not penetrate, but coat the hair.Only problem, the color is eliminated faster over the shampoos.

What is the best way to apply your coloring at home?

Permanent coloring applies to dry hair and...clean."Contrary to what we believe, underlines Mahdi Ben Hadid, international trainer Lazartigue, we no longer recommend keeping them dirty for D -Day, because the formulas without ammonia are much less aggressive and the color takes better on hair ridsebum and dust ".If you want to do only its roots: you crush a little oil on the lengths to preserve it, then apply the line ray by line and on the outline, using a brush or aold toothbrush (for more precision).20 to 25 min after the start of the installation, we emulsify with a little water to lengthen the pigments to the tips and leave another 10 min..After a long rinsing, a spin and a nourishing mask, voila!For the whole of the hair: if you have a lot of white hair, you start with the front (the exposure time will be longer).Otherwise, we apply a line by line, then distribute the rest of the product on the lengths and the tips.For a good penetration of the pigments, we massage the whole of the hair, then let it be placed 30 to 35 minutes before rinsing and treatment.

A word of advice to preserve the lengths already made aware?

If the hair is damaged, they are reinforced the week preceding coloring with a mask rich in vegetable keratin, biotin or vitamin B5 with each shampoo.

How to calm the gratouille after the color?

In case of sensitive scalp, we add a few drops of vegetable oil (top: dream oil, natural origin, Lazartigue) to the colorful mixture.Otherwise, we opt for a soothing treatment, to be massaged as soon as it itches.

SOS my coloring is too dark.What do I do ?

I go to the living room to ask for the help of a pro, or I use 1 to 3 times a week an antiPELLICular shampoo to leave on dry hair for 10 min, mask, and to follow a moisturizing treatment.Wait 15 days before redoing the coloring.

Hair: How to prolong your color?

Primo, we never ignore the care of the kit, which locks the pigments in the hair.Second, we use products for colored hair, which prevent rapid refreshment.In boost, we offer a transplantation, which recharges the color in pigments when it loses its tone.

I want to keep my hair white, how to maintain it?

The secret to sublimate them and prevent them from yellowing (their major defect): Equiping shampoos and care full of purple pigments, which neutralize reflections and are used once or twice a week.
