8 best hair colors
For some, hair dye is a means to change the image, for others - salvation from gray hair, or rather, their disguise. In both cases, it would be desirable for the dyeing composition to keep on the strands as long as possible, while not harming the health or the hair and the bulbs themselves.
It is no secret: the best hair dyes are professional, they are rarely sold in ordinary and even cosmetic supermarkets, mainly in specialized departments. Hairdressers do not mix components from one box, they combine the developer and pigment in certain proportions, based on the desired color and type of client's hair. The consistency of the working mass is convenient and optimal for obtaining the best, which is equally important - a predictable result. Experts from the online magazine EXPERTOLOGY presented in the ranking the best in the opinion of the masters and their clients professional hair dyes.

Cream paint without ammonia MATRIX Color Sync
Rating: 4.9
The first in the ranking paint without ammonia MATRIX Color Sync, able to carefully dye hair and improve their quality: after the procedure, customers notice a long-lasting effect of smoothness and shine. The paint can both independently adjust the color and restore the effect of resistant dyes (tint). The composition is suitable for finding a new shade on the hair, not previously brightened, without disturbing their structure.
The absence of ammonia provides a gentle effect on the hair, while caring and regenerating complexes with ceramides line the surface of the damaged areas, of the porous structure previously acquired during clarification or thermal, ultraviolet burn. Such preparation promotes uniform distribution and absorption of pigment. The cuticles that protect the inner layers of the hair remain closed when stained, respectively, the structure does not suffer, but the paint does not penetrate deeply, which means that the color will wash off faster than when stained with a product with a more aggressive ammonium composition.
MATRIX Color Sync due to its sparing composition and careful action is more suitable for toning with simultaneous care, subject to a preliminary test for allergies. We note a special technique of application: a mixture of dye and oxidant Color Sync Oxydant should be applied to the hair from the roots, immediately distributing it over the entire length. The exposure time depends on the desired effect and application technique - 10 ... 20 minutes - less than that of analogs.
