10 best professional hair colors

Professional hair dye products, as opposed to universal (household) inks, were originally intended solely for the work of an experienced hairdresser and rarely hit the shelves of retail cosmetics mass-markets. Today, the situation has changed a bit, and now any woman can afford to acquire the necessary shade from a company specializing in the production of formulations for salon use.

What makes professional paints different from household ones and can they be used at home? Let's look at all the pros and cons of prof. dyes:

• Funds for hairdressing services initially do not contain hydrogen peroxide. An experienced colorist adds the right amount of oxidizer based on the specific structure, thickness and natural tone, as well as taking into account the intensity of color that his client wants to receive as a result of staining;
• professional preparations contain a large number of grooming components - the presence of regenerating complexes allows to reduce the negative impact of the process, keeping the hair more healthy and “alive”;
• when using prof. The colors of the color will be distributed over the strands more evenly and uniformly - this is facilitated by stabilizing reagents in the composition, which are aimed at reducing the reaction rate.

In addition, professional dyes are more resistant, have not such a sharp "chemical" flavor, as household, and they can be mixed together to give the hair an unusual shade. The disadvantages of this type of beauty product can be called a very expensive cost, as well as a sufficient complexity in application, because the technology of salon dyeing requires some knowledge and experience in hairdressing, which only specialists have.

We have prepared for you the TOP of the best and most sought-after professional hair dyes, dividing them by price categories, type and popularity. When compiling the rating, the following were taken into account:

• the duration of the effect;
• brand palette variety;
• paint composition (including the content of natural elements);
• reviews hairdressers.

The best budget professional hair dyes

Almost every manufacturer of professional hair coloring products offers dyes for sale in three price segments. These are premium class dyes, medium category and inexpensive products that meet all the stated quality standards, but at the same time have a cost slightly higher than that of household paints. We will acquaint you with a few, in our opinion, the best representatives of budget brands that will help to change the female image without much material investment.

Estel Professional ESSEX is one of the most popular paints for professional use, which Russian customers often request in search engines. Domestic tool is distinguished by its affordable cost and very decent quality. In addition, Estel products can be found not only in specialized stores, but also on the shelves of ordinary cosmetic departments.

Many women who have tried the paint of this brand, have noted its ability to paint over gray hair, without drying out the hair and adding volume and pomp to it.

The shades of the Highlift and Pastel line are easy to use and help you choose the color that best suits your needs. The undoubted advantages of paint can also be attributed to the fact that it simultaneously brightens and tints.

Blonde Expert, like most similar beauty products, can cause allergies, so before applying it is necessary to check the skin for individual tolerance of the components of the drug. Despite all the efforts of manufacturers, it is no secret that staining in blond does maximum damage to the hair shaft, so blondes need twice more attention to pay attention to the state of their hair. Professional stylists recommend applying after-dyeing the care products of the same manufacturer, for example, a mask to restore Indola Color Leave.

1 Kapous Professional

The products of the Russian brand Kapous perfectly proved itself both in the conditions of salon dyeing and in home use. The professional line includes more than 100 shades, contains the minimum amount of ammonia, very carefully, but at the same time effectively dyes hair from root to tip.Despite the fact that it is the cheapest dye in our rating, according to reviews by hairdressers, Kapous Professional is one of the best in its category.

After application, the hair remains smooth and shiny, with a slight lamination effect. From natural ingredients, the manufacturer indicated the presence of ginseng extract and rice proteins. Thanks to these components, no negative effects in the form of split ends or dehydration are observed after the application of the agent. The color is washed off gradually, without leaving behind stains and bald spots. The average period of resistance is up to 6-8 weeks.

The best professional hair colors with ammonia

The presence of ammonia (or ammonium) in the composition is intended to “loosen” the body of the hair, allowing the color pigment to penetrate the scaly layer as best as possible. These paints guarantee a more lasting effect, they paint over gray hair more carefully, but they also have a number of disadvantages in the form of a possible skin burn or irritation of the mucous membrane. If you do not experience an allergic reaction to ammonia and you are not planning to dye your hair more than once every 2 months, we suggest you to get acquainted with the TOP of the best professional dyes for long-term exposure.

3 Farmavita Life Color Plus Professional

Life Color Plus from the Italian brand Farmavita is a permanent dye cream paint, which is based on an advanced technology designed to minimize the harmful effects of ammonia without loss of color intensity. For these purposes, the developers added oligopeptides of the fetus Bertholetia Excelsa (Brazil Nut) to the composition, which are able to penetrate into the hair cuticle and create a protective film on the scalp. Due to this process, the epidermis is less affected by chemical treatment, and therefore, reduces the risk of irritation and inflammation of the skin. In addition, in the manufacture of paint using a pigment with a high degree of dispersion, which reduces the total amount of harmful substances.

The color range consists of 110 wonderful shades. When painting gray hair manufacturer promises up to 100% coverage. Hair after the procedure remains light, alive, not confused and can be easily combed. The drug is sold in brightly decorated tubes indicating the tone number. Apparently in order to save the manufacturer printed the instructions for use not on a separate sheet, but inside the cardboard packaging, which immediately reduced the usability of the tool. Because of this minor flaw, we cannot assign Life Color Plus the status of the best, although this is the most gentle paint in our rating.

2 Lisap LK Anti-Age Creamcolor

Another representative of the Italian beauty industry, participating in our TOP, is the dye for dyeing gray hair Lisap LK Anti-Age Creamcolor.

Paint from Lisap can not only visually improve the appearance of hair, but also helps to cope with this unpleasant situation.

Best non-ammonia hair colors

Paints without ammonia belong to the category of semi-resistant - they do not penetrate deep into the hair, but simply envelop it, thereby protecting the curls from the harmful effects of chemicals, preserving their structure, health and naturalness.
