Professional hair dye Matrix will be able to satisfy the needs of even the most demanding customers. It can be safely used for coloring in beauty salons. The result speaks for itself.

Instructions for use

Although Matrix products are designed for professional coloring in beauty salons, they are also used for self-coloring at home. To get the desired result at home, you need to thoroughly read the instructions, paying special attention to the paragraph on contraindications to the use of persistent dyes with ammonia.

The presence of an allergy to ammonium hydroxide or a predisposition to it is a reason for refusing to use Matrix paints.

Conducting a sensitivity test will help to ensure that there are no undesirable manifestations. To do this, a drop of the composition is applied to the wrist from the inside, elbow or behind the ear and left for half an hour.

If, after 24 hours, the skin remains clean, without suspicious redness or rashes, then this is a good sign.

For those who have bleached, dyed or brittle, dry hair, it is also recommended to test the dye on a small strand in advance.If you are satisfied with the result of her coloring, then you can proceed to coloring the entire head.

Hair is not washed before dyeing, and the presence of natural fat on it will serve as an additional protective barrier against reagents. Gloves must be used to protect hands, without removing them and when rinsing.

How to dilute the mixture:

• take dishes made of glass or ceramics;
• combine the dye with a suitable concentration of oxygen in equal proportions;
• mix the components well until a uniform consistency of the same color is obtained.
• Toners without ammonium hydroxide must be mixed with an activator.

How to apply the dye mixture correctly.

In the primary coloring, the coloring composition is first applied to the roots, and then to the length. The exposure time depends on the required color saturation and ranges from half an hour to 45 minutes, and it is detected starting from the moment when the mixture has been completely used up.

When re-staining with the composition, the root zone is covered, left for 20-30 minutes, and then distributed along the length of the hair. Comb them, stand for another 15 minutes and wash off.

When tinting or glazing hair (lamination), it is necessary to keep the composition for about 10-15 minutes.

Finally, the hair is washed under running water without using shampoo. Treat with a care balm, leaving it for 2-3 minutes, wash it off and dry the hair. Hairdressers recommend using salon hair care products after dyeing.

The advantage of their use is the rapid neutralization of the negative effects of chemical compounds of paint, restoration and normalization of the acid-base balance of the scalp.

Compound

The manufacturer keeps the unique formula of Matrix paints secret, and the packaging contains only information about the main components of the composition.

• Ammonia or its organic artificial derivative ethanolamine (ethanolamine) as an active ingredient.

In the composition of persistent paints and clarifiers, the concentration of ammonium hydroxide is minimal, and in non-ammonia paints, this substance, which aggressively affects the skin and disrupts the synthesis of melanin and tyrosine, is replaced by a safer chemical compound MEA (ethanolamine, monoethalomamine).

• Pigments - special ingredients are used for their manufacture, which have properties that are most similar to the properties of components of natural hair. When coloring pigments penetrate into the hair shaft, they are securely fixed inside, which excludes premature changes in color saturation and depth.
• Ceramide R - an organic synthetic analogue of natural ceramide, which penetrates the scaly layer and holds the flat cuticle scales, restoring the smoothness and strength of the hair. It also eliminates brittleness, split ends and dull color. During the dyeing process, this substance protects the hair structure from the action of reagents in the dye composition.
• Natural oils (jojoba, olive, burdock). They restore the natural beauty and strength of the hair, making it stronger, and care for the scalp, reducing the risk of unwanted reactions. Under the influence of oils, hair grows faster and becomes more manageable.
• Cera-oil - an exclusive nutritional complex with a powerful antioxidant effect. It has a firming effect on the cortical layer and nourishes the strands from roots to ends. Smoothes all uneven areas on the hair, ensuring an even distribution of coloring pigments, which allows you to achieve perfect color evenness.

How to choose the right color?

When choosing a Matrix paint for dyeing hair, it is worth remembering that the result will look about 1 tone darker than presented in the palette:

• contrasting tones are obtained from deep black shades or the Blond series;
• brown-haired women can choose a natural shade from the corresponding series (it can be light, natural or dark brown-haired);
• blondes can emphasize the naturalness of their color by using tones of mother-of-pearl or blonde;
• brunettes can use both tones from the Blond series and reddish shades for a complete transformation of their appearance.

There are a lot of options, you just need to choose the right one.

Paint with and without ammonia: what's the difference?

Considering the color palette of Matrix hair dye, it is worth evaluating the photo on the hair in order to have an idea of ​​the result. There is no doubt about one thing, the coloring composition will not harm the curls.

Ammonia-free dyes have been created specifically to maintain hair in perfect condition. They are used for toning, the shades in them are more than natural. In addition, they contain ceramides, which have a positive effect on the condition of the hair.

In the Matrix line, this is the Matrix Color Sync series. The shades are very delicate, but do not last too long and require periodic renewal.

Dyes containing ammonia are distinguished by their durability and the ability to create the most incredible tones on natural hair, even without the use of additional lightening. This group includes the series:

1. Matrix socolor beauty with a durability of 4 months;
2. Matrix SoRED to create bright highlights;
3. Matrix Prizms Plus for refreshing hairstyles;
4. V-Light - a gentle composition containing lemon. An excellent tool for lightening curls.
