Find out how to quickly get rid of the consequences of unsuccessful hair coloring, so as not to spoil their condition, using the pickling procedure. As a rule, if they want to change their image, first of all, women carry out hair dyeing. But such changes are not always successful and you can only worsen your appearance. It is believed that simple hair coloring helps to relieve the burden of accumulated problems or change the boring environment. But, if after dyeing, the hair has acquired a completely different shade that you would like, you can use the pickling procedure, thanks to which the paint is washed off and the previous color returns.
How is hair picking done?
Translated from French, the word "pickling" means "to clean the metal." This is the name of the procedure for etching the metal surface to remove the current oxide film. Today, pickling is widely used in hairdressing practice, as it helps to cleanse the hair. During the procedure, an artificial coloring pigment is removed from the hair surface, which is the reason for the appearance of an unwanted shade of the strands.
Today, you can easily and quickly carry out a variety of experiments with hair shades and the dyeing procedure will not cause any problems. But the result obtained does not always correspond to expectations, so the question arises of how to return the hair to its original state, but at the same time not spoil their health. Even if, after dyeing, the strands have acquired a gorgeous shade, over time it can get bored and there is a desire to change something. But wait until the natural color grows back for a very long time, and attempts to re-stain it can lead to not the most pleasant consequences. But with the right approach, thanks to the use of a professional wash, you can restore your hair to its natural shade.
Hair decapitation is a procedure based on the removal of dye from the hair. However, it is necessary to take into account the fact that pickling cannot be used after dyeing strands with basma or henna.
With the help of pickling, you can achieve the following results:
- unaesthetic stains are removed in cases where the paint falls on the hair with an uneven layer or the strands are unevenly colored;
- the hair color changes and the natural shade returns to the curls;
- the ugly shade of the hair, which was obtained as a result of unsuccessful dyeing, is eliminated;
- hair is cleared of oversaturation with different types of dyes;
- too bright hair color is muted, it is made a few tones lighter.
However, it is necessary to take into account the fact that the hair pickling procedure itself is not completely safe and can harm the beauty and health of the hair. To quickly restore strands, you need careful and constant care.
The benefits and harms of hair pickling
The main advantage of this procedure is that it helps to quickly get rid of almost any hair color that was obtained as a result of unsuccessful dyeing. A washable emulsion removes an unsuitable shade. Taking into account how strong the concentration of the composition for removing the coloring pigment will be, the effectiveness of the procedure is also enhanced. It is best for an experienced master to perform hair decapitation, since if the main rules are not followed, there is a risk of causing serious damage to the hair.
As a result of the effect on the hair of the preparations used during the pickling procedure, the strands are effectively cleansed from the dye, but the flakes of the strands are opened, as a result of which their natural protective properties are significantly reduced.
Therefore, after using hair picking, they lose the ability to independently resist the negative action of external factors. In the future, this fact may negatively affect the health and beauty of hair. That is why, after deep decapitation of hair, it may be necessary to re-stain. As a result, all scales are closed and the shade of the hair is evened out.
To carry out hair pickling, it is necessary to pay special attention to the choice of the agent used, since it is from this that the final result will be the envy. The result is determined depending on the concentration of the wash. You can lighten the strands by several tones or get a natural color. Decapitation is used for both light and dark hair.
If deep cleansing with a concentrated wash will be used, a restorative procedure is required for injured and weakened hair. In the most severe cases, complex treatment is required.
After pickling, hair can become dull, brittle and very dry, styling becomes more difficult and hair loss increases. To improve their condition and return a beautiful shine, it is necessary to regularly use special care products - masks, balms and rinses, which ensure the restoration of even severely injured hair, and strengthens the follicles.
Types of compositions for washing
To carry out the hair pickling procedure, special means for washing are used, which help to achieve the desired effect. Such preparations have the ability to penetrate into the hair structure along its entire length, after which the dye splits and the bond between the dyes is broken, which are enveloped and washed out.
It is necessary to take into account the fact that the wash itself cannot lighten the hair, since it only extracts from their structure the coloring pigments of artificial origin, which penetrate inside during the coloring procedure.
To achieve the desired result and get rid of the ugly shade of hair, it is necessary to perform several pickling procedures. If only one session is carried out, the strands can be lightened only by a couple of tones. In some cases, you will need 1-4 pickling procedures, depending on the structure of the hair and its condition.
Today, there are two main types of professional cleaning:
- Surface pickling. This is a gentle option for lightening hair, during which a mild effect is performed, since the composition of the used product does not include an oxidizing agent. This type of remover does not contain ammonia and perhydrol, but has fruit acid, which has a non-aggressive and mild effect. This type of remover, as a result of a gentle action, helps to rid the strands of dye by extracting artificial coloring pigments from their composition. During this process, the hair follicles will not be affected, so the natural pigment and structure of the curls are preserved. Thanks to the surface pickling, it becomes possible to correct the shade or lighten it by a couple of tones. If a stronger brightening is required, it is recommended to perform several surface pickling sessions. It is necessary to take into account the fact that it is recommended to carry out such procedures throughout the day, after dyeing the hair.
- Deep pickling. This type of lightening is used when there is a need to remove the dye that has accumulated in the hair structure as a result of several dyeing procedures, as well as if the dye is unevenly laid on the curls (for example, it manifests itself with ugly stains or stains). In such a situation, this procedure is carried out immediately after the surface brightening is performed, or if it did not give the desired result and turned out to be ineffective. This type of wash has a rather aggressive effect and helps to lighten the curls by 3-4 tones in one session, but, as a rule, not the most beautiful red shade remains. First of all, this composition is applied to the most problematic areas, after which it is evenly distributed over the entire length of the hair. If you need to carry out a second deep pickling, you need to take a break between procedures for at least 14 days, otherwise the strands may be severely damaged and it will be impossible to restore them. Only an experienced master should carry out deep hair decapitation, since only under this condition it will be possible to achieve the desired result.
Hair picking technique
Before carrying out the hair pickling procedure, first of all, a test is made for sensitivity to the active ingredients of the mixture. For this purpose, a small amount of the mixture is applied to the back of the wrist or the crook of the elbow. Now you need to wait about 20 minutes, if there is no itching, redness or other unpleasant feeling of discomfort, then you can carry out hair decapitation. However, if signs of allergy appear, it is better to refuse the procedure, as you can find more serious health problems.
Hair decapitation is performed according to the following scheme:
- in almost all cases, the master applies a wash to dry hair;
- first of all, the processing of those parts that have undergone more intense staining is performed;
- after applying the wash, the strands are carefully combed so that the product is evenly distributed along the entire length;
- the composition for pickling is left for a certain time, after which it is washed off with a large amount of warm water;
- then the curls are rinsed with a special shampoo for deep cleansing, which is used by professional hairdressers;
- then a nourishing balm is used;
- after pickling hair, it is not recommended to use a hairdryer, you need to let the strands dry naturally.
It is necessary to take into account the fact that after deep cleansing of the hair, they will be weakened, therefore they become very sensitive to various environmental factors. If, after pickling, paint will be used, it is recommended to opt for sparing products so as not to permanently ruin the hair.
Hair care after pickling
After the hair pickling procedure, it is imperative to regularly apply caring balms and masks, which will help speed up the restoration of weakened curls.
It is also recommended to adhere to the following tips for hair care:
- It is useful to use revitalizing essential oils and vitamin complexes in ampoules.
- Treatments such as shielding, glazing and lamination bring benefits to the hair, making it perfectly smooth and returning a healthy glossy shine.
- It is recommended to do keratinization, since thanks to this procedure it becomes possible to restore the damaged hair structure and, as a result, they return strength and density.
- You can do elution - this is a gentle procedure for dyeing hair, during which there is no destruction of their structure. As a result, the hair will be reliably protected from negative environmental influences.
Hair decapitation helps to restore the previous shade of curls, but can cause serious harm. Therefore, this procedure should only be carried out by an experienced master. And proper and regular hair care will help restore its beauty and health.
