Hair corrector

Hair creates an important basis of the female image - a beautiful haircut can truly transform a girl. And it is hair color that plays a significant role here, so it is important that it be even and bright. This can help correctors - pure color pigments that are able to neutralize unwanted shades and enhance the desired.

The corrector for hair, or mikston is a color in the pure state. That is, yellow, purple or any other. It can be used separately for creative coloring, mixed together, and also used to give a certain shade of brightness or to neutralize it.

The choice of a mixton is an individual matter and depends on your initial hair color and the effect you want to achieve. In any case, the shade is selected using the color wheel. For example, if you need to eliminate the greenish tint on your hair, you should take the shade opposite to the green on the circle. It is red.

Color circles are divided into three categories - primary, secondary and tertiary.

• Primary - this mixton in its purest form, independent colors, for example, yellow and blue.
• Secondary ones are obtained by mixing them (for example, blue and yellow give green together).
• Tertiary staining is not used.

There are mixton of many shades. For example, yellow makes red, copper and brown shades warmer and removes unwanted purple pigment. Orange simply gives warm tones a saturation. Red neutralizes green and, of course, in harmony with copper and red hues. Violet neutralizes yellowness and gives an ashy tint (the same applies to gray, graphite or silver mixton). Blue neutralizes orange, green - red.

There is also a colorless corrector - it is used for glazing and lamination, it adds shine, improves structure, makes curls more dense and healthy and changes saturation. In turn, it is divided into ammonia and ammonia-free. Amberless reduce saturation, so you can achieve a delicate pastel or light shade. Ammonia is directed to clarification, used with 3% and 6% oxidizing agents or mixed with dyes.

Blondes, natural or dyed, and girls with light brown hair often want to remove the unpleasant yellow tint. In this case, they will be helped by purple and blue correctors, created specifically to give the hair a cool or neutral ash tint.

The most popular brand correctors Estel Correct. They differ in the democratic price and professional quality. Represents in the line both color and colorless mixtones.

Also at the brand you can find a series of "Estel Deluxe". Unlike Correct, this line is ammonia-free and acts more gently on hair. It is with an oxidant 1.5% of this series that you can tone your hair in the desired shade without losing quality.

Ollin Professional - professional hair care brand, which produces two lines of proofreaders. The first is “Sensetive line", Is actively used for the closure of black and other saturated dark shades. Hair after applying the mixton is quite soft right after use, but stiffness of the tips is still present - but this is normal for any chemical effect on the hair, you just need to add a few nutrient ampoules to the paint / corrector or make a moisturizing oil mask before the next wash.

The second is “Service Line color corrector". The cost of this corrector is about - 400 rubles for 2 tubes of 125 ml of the product, and the package contains instructions for use. The aroma of the corrector is not good, but it doesn’t cause any discomfort during or after dyeing - it only dries the tips a little and, of course, changes the hair structure, therefore, they must be treated with masks or oil mixtures. Does not contain ammonia, clarifiers, can be used only with ammonia paints and oxidizing agents for them.

Kapous Professional - quite a well-known company, familiar to many for high-quality hair dyes. Of course, like any self-respecting company, it also produces a color corrector, the main purpose of which is to wash away unwanted color and strengthen the opposite one.

Of course, you need to read the instructions before use.

To neutralize a particular color, use the opposite tone on the color wheel. To add brightness and saturation, select a tone equalizer closest in number, for example, in the case of 6.71 (dark brown ash brown), you can choose 0.11 or 0.77 correctors - the first will enhance the purple pigment, make the rygina more saturated.

And to make the brightness necessary to take into account that the amount of the corrector should not exceed one fourth of the paint. For example, take 45 instead of 60 grams of paint and add 15 grams of Mikston, not forgetting that the amount of oxidizer does not change.

When choosing a corrector, it is necessary to take into account not only the shade, but also its proportions. For example, for light shades you need to take a smaller amount of a mixton than for dark ones, since they are often more porous and prone to damage and section.

In the first case, the formula looks like this - 10 - the desired shade (you can see it on the flow sheet at the hairdresser or on the packaging with paint. For example, light-blond is indicated by the number 7, that is, 10 - 7). In the case of our example, it turns out 10-7 = 3. So, in this case, we take 57 grams of paint, 60 oxidant and 3 grams (or centimeter) of the corrector.

According to the Rule of Eleven, the principle is similar, only the tone is already taken away from 11. The difference between this and the previous shade is that different brands have either 10 or 11 colors in the rulers and you need to choose the method based on this.

Ammonia-free corrector can be used as an independent dye on a clarified base - best with a 3% oxidizer. When it comes to ammonia mixton, stop your choice at 1.5% oxidizer. But this color lasts about two weeks, and if you want to slightly change the shade, then it is better to produce a full color with the addition of the corrector in the paint or choose a toning of 1.5%. Also, as an option, get tinting shampoos or creams.

Responses to the funds from Ollin Professional are average, but in general, the girls give a huge advantage to the fact that both rulers can be used at home simply by reading the instructions. "Service Line color corrector" has a rating of 4.5, a low price stands out. When buying, you will have two numbered tubes that need to be mixed in the same proportion. It is very easy to use this mixtone, and with proper skill, the result will only please you. Hair after use is in good condition and does not require therapy.

The “Sensetive line” rating is below - 3.6, but it is highly praised by blondes - an undesirable shade takes literally ten minutes. It also removes resistant paint and creative tones very well, so it can also be used as a wash.Hair after look alive and silky, the color is smooth, the texture is smooth and without the use of specialized tools. The corrector works very gently, but effectively.

Despite the fact that there are not so many reviews on the Kapous Professional color corrector, the rating of the tool is solid 5. One can immediately identify a variety of shades - there are six of them, so everyone can find something for themselves. It is recommended to use a paint corrector from the same company, 3% oxidizer and add five to seven drops of Kapous Helix protective oil to prevent dryness and section. It is this mikston that perfectly removes red and red spots, helps to get rid of unwanted "greens" on the head, makes hair tint after dyeing neutral or nobly cold.
