The natural tendency of our own hair color to regain ground, together with environmental temperature conditions, are the main drawbacks when it comes to maintaining the results of coloring. It is quite common for blonde highlights to turn yellow over time or for brown hair to easily turn brassy. Not to mention the red hair dyes and the difficulty in maintaining their brightness and intensity. Fortunately, there is a new common solution to all these problems: hair toning is here to stay.
Hair tonings are those products, whether in the form of shampoo, mask or spray, that have the ability to set the desired color for your hair. These formulas use different pigments, such as purple or blue, to cover deviations in tone that occur due to oxidation and cause the loss of the initial nuances. Hair tonings also act as a conditioner that revitalizes the color and shine of colored hair.
Hair tonings work as a kind of color bath or semi-permanent dye, much more durable and effective than colored masks and shampoos, since the pigments penetrate directly into the hair fiber. This is a salon treatment, but it can be easily applied at home. In fact, hair toning is the auxiliary technique that should complement all coloring, in the weeks following your visit to the hairdresser.
In professional centers, hair toning is applied using a cream or mask after highlights or dye. However, the best way to bring this technique home and incorporate it into our hair routine is through the available shampoos. There are also solutions in spray form, which can be applied as a final step after washing the hair and without the need to rinse.
