An effective mask for highlighted hair. Masks for highlighted hair at home. With beer and clay

For several decades, the demand for highlighting has not subsided. This is one of the most popular dyeing techniques, when not the entire hair volume is lightened, but only individual strands. As a result, the base color is mixed with a new hue, creating a trendy and harmonious look.

Despite all the advantages of this procedure, a number of problems arise after it. Among them are dryness, split ends, brittleness, thinning, confusion and other troubles. Fortunately, there are special means to prevent and eliminate them, and one of the most effective is a mask for streaked hair.

Efficiency

By correctly choosing and regularly using a mask for highlighted hair, you can solve the most common problems that arise after this procedure:

• moisturize, eliminating overdry;
• restore damage: fragility, delamination, split ends;
• to strengthen the roots to prevent and treat hair loss;
• facilitate combing and styling, getting rid of confusion and disobedience;
• soften by eliminating stiffness;
• provide good nutrition;
• add volume, make the thinned structure of the rod denser;
• make the color natural and beautiful;
• prolong its shine and durability.

When deciding on highlighting, remember that the procedure is an artificial discoloration with oxygen. These are oxygen compounds that destroy natural pigment, which affects the change in the structure of the hair. It becomes thinner, breaks, exfoliates, becomes lifeless and can turn into "dry straw" as a result. To return to its former luxury and radiance, it is necessary to constantly use home and branded masks that provide decent care.

Through the pages of history. For the first time, highlighting was used by one of the most famous hairdressers in France - Jacques Dissange. Brigitte Bardot acted as a model.

Application

The easiest way full care for streaked hair - regularly make special masks for them at home. They are 100% natural and, in terms of money, will become a much more budget option than branded ones.

Selection of ingredients

Homemade masks for highlighted hair must include lightening components that eliminate yellowness:

• decoctions and infusions of chamomile, rhubarb, mullein;
• kefir;
• cinnamon powder;
• natural honey;
• lemon (juice and zest);
• ginger (juice);
• green tea;
• onions (juice, gruel);
• glycerol.

At the same time, make sure that there are no darkening ingredients in the masks (they can be used only if the shade is unsuccessful and needs to be smoothed out):

• decoctions and infusions of oak bark, nettle, salvia, walnuts;
• soy sauce;
• Black tea;
• mustard seed oil;
• coffee drinks and grounds;
• cocoa powder;
• cognac;
• chocolate.

There are also products that provide the durability of the shade on highlighted hair. They must be included in masks after highlighting:

• decoctions and infusions of plantain and St. John's wort;
• colorless henna;
• blue or white cosmetic clay;
• most fruits;
• egg;
• many cosmetic and vegetable oils: olive, jojoba, grape seed, ylang-ylang, burdock, castor.

When you choose wisely in the choice of ingredients for the preparation of masks, they will be very effective in restoring streaked hair after such an aggressive procedure.

Preparation

Rule one - heating of liquid ingredients is excluded. High temperatures can worsen already dry and damaged streaked hair. Therefore, a water bath is allowed only in extreme cases - for coconut oil, for example, or candied honey. Room temperature is optimal for all components.

The second rule is that the consistency must be uniform. Leave a piece of lemon zest on one of the highlighted strands and it will be much lighter than the rest. In some types of staining, this effect may even look advantageous, but not always. Therefore, it is worth paying attention to the moment. If you need a uniform shade - take care of the absence of clots and lumps. Use a blender for this purpose.

If you are trying the mask for the first time, prepare it in a minimal amount and experience the effect on only one subtle streaked strand. This will allow you to evaluate the result in advance - whether there will be excessive lightening or darkening. At the same stage, carry out a test control by applying the mixture to the wrist (or elbow fossa, or behind the ear). If there is no redness, peeling and itching, the product can be used as directed.

Application

The roots of streaked hair often weaken, which can lead to intense hair loss. In such cases, you need to pick up and apply it to the scalp with rubbing movements. Additional massage will only be beneficial.

In other cases, it will be enough to evenly distribute along the entire length of the hair, stepping back a couple of centimeters from the roots. In order not to spoil new shade, make sure that the mixture lies equally flat. For this purpose, it is useful to use the special Tangle Teezer Salon comb with two-level bristles.

Tangle Teezer Salon Double Bristle Brush

If the mask falls on a dirty head, beneficial features will be slightly, but reduced. Sebaceous secretions, particles of the epidermis, dust, etc. will interfere with bioactive substances. So you have to choose which of the two evils is the least for you.

Toning masks for highlighted hair last 5-10 minutes if you need a light shade, and 30-40 minutes to get a bright and rich color. Some of those that are intended for care (or, for example) are recommended to be left overnight. But in general, the duration of the action is limited to the range from 15 to 45 minutes.

Wash off

For proper cleaning, the following points must be taken into account:

1. Use a special shampoo for highlighted hair.
2. If oil is among the ingredients, you will have to wash off the mask with shampoo twice.
3. Water - lukewarm or at room temperature. The main thing is not hot.
4. Add clarifying juices (lemon or ginger), green tea, decoctions of appropriate herbs (chamomile, rhubarb, barn) to the rinsing water.

Dry only naturally, without a hairdryer. The frequency of application is twice a week. After 2 months, it is better to change the recipe.

In order for the masks to work 100%, you need to take proper care of the streaked hair along the way:

• protect from ultraviolet radiation: wear hats and limit visits to the solarium;
• use only cold air from a hair dryer for drying;
• refuse irons and pans, if this is impossible - set the minimum temperature;
• apply protective and restoring gel fluids for colored and highlighted hair;
• do not wash your hair hot water;
• do self-massage of the scalp daily.

The main rule is not to resort to the highlighting procedure too often in order to leave time for hair restoration.

On a note. There are a large number of highlighting methods: classic, American, Californian, magimesh, magical contrast, Crazy Colors and others.

In this article, we explore the most better ways care for discolored strands and give practical recommendations for restoring the structure of curls.

Consequences of highlighting

Highlighting is the bleaching of hair using an oxygenating agent (perohydrol). As a rule, a strong chemical of 6-9% is selected, which, when applied, penetrates deep into each hair, destroying its structure and removing its inherent pigment.

The wrong exposure time can harm your curls - longer than the period declared by the manufacturer, or an incorrectly selected percentage of oxygen, - for example, you have thin light blond curls, and you take a clarifier of 6-9%.

In addition, very often, after dyeing, they resort to toning the hair with persistent dyes, which include the ill-fated ammonia. This component of permanent dyes can significantly harm your strands. How and how to tone your hair after highlighting, about the benefits of the procedure, read on our website.

Consequences after using perohydrol and ammonia:

• burning hair and the appearance of unpleasant yellow or copper shades;
• curls lose water, therefore they become dry and lifeless;
• dandruff appears on the scalp;
• you notice a lot of split hair;
• curls are difficult to style;
• there is too much hair left on the comb of the comb and after washing in the bathroom;
• the effect of "cobweb", when with strong air humidity on the head, as if a mesh is formed from the upper layers of hair.

For many girls, hair after highlighting becomes like straw - dull and lifeless strands very much disappoint their owners.

Council of professionals. To minimize the harmful effects of the dye, buy not a permanent paint, but tint balms or tonics. Of course, they do not stay on the hair for long (2-3 weeks), but they do not have such a negative effect.

To avoid all the unpleasant consequences of bleaching stated above, the professionals of the hairdressing industry unanimously declare the need for hair care after highlighting.

How to care for your hair after

Burned hair with highlights? Do not despair, because the beauty and health of your curls will help return the care of highlighted hair at home. For this:

1. Immediately after the procedure, use a conditioner or balm (they come with the dye). This mandatory measure is necessary to restore the water balance, since after bleaching the hairs lose water.
2. It is also recommended to purchase a special shampoo from the series "For streaked hair" or a tint balm, which contains vitamins, trace elements, keratin and mineral water. The first tool will make the curls silky, crumbly and will allow you to fix the result of painting for a long time. The second, in addition, is designed to eliminate yellowness, since it contains purple particles that neutralize an unpleasant color.
3. The next staining procedure can be carried out at least 2 months later, because the curls should be well restored. The only exceptions are tint balms and shampoos, which can be used to tint the head after a couple of days after bleaching.
4. Minimize blow-drying and styling with thermo appliances and fixtures. The fact is that hot air can have a detrimental effect on already weakened hair. If you can't do without a hair dryer, then try to use only a cold wind blower, which should be directed from top to bottom along the hairline (so that the scales stick together and get an even smooth surface).
5. We eliminate all methods of mechanical damage: combing wet hair, rubbing movement of curls on a towel during the drying process, which almost every woman sins. If you go outside in the summertime, do not forget about a hat.
6. After highlighting at home, it is recommended to make special masks that will ensure the restoration of curls. They are prepared on the basis of fruits, honey, kefir, egg yolk and various oils.

Many women do not understand why balms and masks for highlighted hair are weak. Perhaps the problem lies in their composition or incompatibility with your curls. But in most cases, they are simply not applied correctly.

An important point! Balms and masks for highlighted hair should be distributed not on wet, but on slightly damp hair. This means that after washing, you must definitely dry the curls.

If hair falls out after highlighting, then take active measures:

• massage the scalp with massages, especially before bedtime (this is done in order to improve blood supply);
• choose combs with natural bristles or wooden combs;
• make nutritious cocktails (you can buy special vitamin supplements, keratin in a professional hair cosmetics store);
• start eating right (the diet should contain foods containing calcium, phosphorus, protein, fiber, vitamin E and tannins);
• start taking vitamins for pregnant or lactating mothers, for example "Elevit".

How to restore hair

The question of how to cure hair after highlighting is asked by each of the three women who have resorted to the dyeing procedure. Factors that provoke negative consequences can be:

• improperly selected clarifier or dye;
• non-observance of the holding time;
• too aggressive effect on the curls of perohydrol, which leads to an unpleasant yellowness or copper tint;
• mechanical damage to the hair;
• additional destruction of the structure of curls due to constant exposure to the sun;
• too frequent staining;
• lack of vitamins and minerals.

So how do you restore streaked hair?

You can treat hair after highlighting at home or by using salon procedures. It should be noted that the cost of the latter varies between 1500-9000 thousand rubles, depending on:

• type of procedure;
• the prestige of the salon;
• hair length.

At home, hair treatment after highlighting will cost you several times less.

Salon procedures

The salon can offer you a special regenerating mask. But there is much more interesting way give hair shine and evenness.

Lamination of curls

Lamination is the sealing of hair, that is, the application of special products that completely envelop each hair, creating a protective film. According to the girls' reviews, until the lamination exhausts its resource, the hair is well combed, shiny and looks "5 points". Especially relevant for long hair which become very entangled during sleep.

Benefits of hair lamination:

• the hair shines;
• the hair is perfectly smooth as the scales stick to the hair shaft;
• color is preserved;
• no need to make masks and revitalizing cocktails.

The cost of the procedure is 2500–5600.

Botox after highlighting

Botox for hair has nothing to do with acupuncture. The procedure involves the application of special serums, which include keratin, elastin, hyaluronic acid, vitamins, amino acids and vegetable oils. Thanks to their valuable properties, it is provided:

• shine and friability;
• color preservation;
• improving the condition of the scalp;
• hair fragility and splitting is reduced.

Attention! As with the lamination procedure, the effect will be short-lived - a maximum of 2 months. Each serum manufacturer recommends fixing the result with a balm or blow-drying.

The cost of the procedure is about 1500-3500 rubles.

Shielding

If you often dye, highlight or curl strands, shielding will help bring your hair in full order. It is carried out with the aim of achieving a large volume and giving a model shine.

The composition of special products includes natural oils that nourish the curls from the inside. In addition, a screen (protective surface) is formed on the hair, which takes on mechanical damage and the destructive effect of the environment.

Unlike lamination, not only the cosmetic effect of the film is achieved along the entire length of the curls, but they are also treated. The cost of the procedure is 2500-9000 rubles, depending on the qualifications of the master and the composition of the cosmetic preparations.

How to restore curls at home

Restoring curls is a painstaking process that requires special care. But if you get used to and allocate at least an hour a day for yourself, you can make your hair look like on the covers of glossy magazines.

Care products

There are many brands of professional cosmetics that will make your curls more beautiful and well-groomed. The most popular among cosmetic products for the care of curls:

• Botox serums from Loreal, Kallos and Honma Tokyo (the latter does not have formaldehyde in its composition);
• Kapou Crystal shine gel fluids, Echosline Ultra Fix Gel and others for long-lasting color protection;
• shampoos and conditioners for highlighted hair from Estel, Matrix, Vella, Schwarzkopf, Syoss;
• tint products for toning hair from Tonic, Estelle, Matrix, Vella and Loreal;
• natural wax for protection against UV rays from Taft, Londa, Schwarzkopf, Estelle;
• Dietary supplements with lecithin, extracts from plants;
• vegetable oils (olive, coconut, burdock), which can be purchased at any pharmacy or even a grocery store.

An important point! If you want to keep your hair color for a long time after highlighting, it is better not to use preparations with a deep action on the structure of the curls. Therefore, we recommend giving up burdock and olive oil at first after clarification.

If your curls break, split, it is imperative to apply restorative agents, namely hair masks after highlighting. They will nourish each hair from the inside, allow you to adjust the lipid balance and add shine. But it is not necessary to buy masks in a professional cosmetics store, because they can be easily prepared at home.

Firming mask based on beer and clay

You will need:

• blue clay (purchased at any cosmetics store);
• beer;
• 1 egg yolk;
• a few drops of burdock oil.

Preparation: at the very beginning, you should combine a couple of tablespoons of clay with egg yolk. Be sure to grind the yolk well with a regular fork. Add 1 tbsp. a spoonful of beer and a few drops of burdock oil.

Application: the product is distributed on the scalp and hair. The hair is wrapped up first with cellophane, and then terry towel... Keep the composition for about 30 minutes. Rinse with lukewarm water so that the yolk does not begin to curl on the hair.

Fruit and honey mask

What if you have dry hair? Provide proper hydration, of course. The next version of the mask will be able to restore the water balance at the expense of fruits and nourish the curls with useful components that make up honey.
