If you use the color composition incorrectly, the final result may be far from what you want. The appearance of a green tint on the hair will indicate a violation in the dyeing process or the use of a poor-quality composition. Dyeing hair in ash colors is difficult, so it is recommended to entrust this procedure to professionals.

When choosing paint in a store, experts advise adhering to the following recommendations.

• Be sure to evaluate the composition of the product. Modern brands offer effective formulations that have minimal damage to hair. Aggressive components are replaced in them with more gentle ones.
• Each line of paints has a palette. With its help, the client can evaluate how the color will look on the hair. Evaluate several options and choose the most suitable one.
• Be sure to check the expiration date of the product. An expired formulation can cause severe damage to the strands and scalp.

According to some buyers, the composition of male and female hair dye is practically the same. The difference is highlighted only from a marketing point of view, in order to draw the attention of buyers to the product. Experts, however, assure that there is a difference between them. Compositions for dyeing male hair are oriented towards a different structure. When using women's paint, the final result may not correspond to the one declared by the manufacturer.

When painting in a beauty salon, a wash is used. This is a special brightening composition, the application of which is an obligatory stage in the work. At home, such a composition is also recommended to be used.

Despite the fact that dyeing hair in ash shades is considered a difficult process even for professionals, some decide to do the work at home. The hardest part is dyeing your hair in cold silver tones.

As practice shows, cold blue pigments are less persistent. These particles give the strands the desired gray tone. Negative external influences (direct sunlight, water hardness and other factors) destroy blue pigments, and they quickly leave the hair. Often, when dyeing light strands, instead of an attractive silvery hue, a purple, yellow or green hue is obtained.

This will help avoid unwanted consequences. If the resulting color is completely satisfied, you can proceed directly to staining.Otherwise, you need to prepare the strands in a special way.

The standard painting procedure includes the following steps.

• It all starts with lighteningespecially when it comes to dark hair. Here you will have to be patient and, if necessary, carry out the clarification several times. Each subsequent procedure will wash out unnecessary color pigments from the strands. The most persistent is yellow. You cannot neglect this stage, otherwise you will not be able to get the necessary ash ebb.
• Next comes the stage of neutralizing yellowness. For this, a special purple toner is used, which can be purchased at any cosmetic store.
• The last stage is painting in ash color. When choosing a shade, it should be remembered that men's hair is stiffer in structure than that of the fair sex. Their strands are less affected by pigments.

For those who just want to refresh their look with ash shades, it is recommended to try partial coloring. In this case, it will be possible to update the appearance without drastic changes. Stylists recommend paying attention to dyeing the ends of hair strands without touching the roots. This is a convenient option for men with long hair. This method minimizes the harm from coloring compositions. To make the hairstyle visually thicker, it is recommended to highlight in several shades, coloring the curls along the entire length.

For men who want to draw attention to themselves, it is advisable to pay attention to the "trash" technique. This technique is a random coloring with a contrasting tone compared to natural hair color. This option is great for young men.

The next technique that is trending today is balayage. The peculiarity of such coloring is the absence of clear and even boundaries of the transition from one color to another. Balayage looks charming on long strands. The original visual effect can be achieved by dyeing your hair a light graphite tone and leaving some dark bristles on your face.

To preserve the new color as much as possible, it is necessary to use shampoos with a special composition. The cosmetic product must be sulfate-free. The same applies to air conditioners. It is necessary to protect the hairstyle from the negative effects of ultraviolet rays. For this, it is enough to use hats. Water, rich in iron, provokes the appearance of a reddish tint on the hair. Therefore, it is recommended to check the composition of the water at home. If it is not satisfactory, it is better to use a purified or filtered shampoo.

Tinted shampoos, offered in a wide range of shampoos, help maintain ashy hair. However, such formulations severely dry the strands and skin of the hair. To maintain their healthy condition, cosmetics must be alternated, not forgetting the use of masks and balms.

To maximize the beauty of the hairstyle, men should use the following tools:

• anti-dandruff shampoos and for active hair growth;
• special vitamin complexes;
• masks and other drugs that prevent hair loss;
• conditioners and balms that take care of the health of the skin and hair.
