All about men’s hair coloring

Life is constantly making adjustments, and gray hair inevitably appears with age. Such a process is noticeable at the age of 35-40, in individual cases and much earlier. For women, the problem is solved quickly, after a short sadness, they dye their hair and transform beyond recognition. It is much more difficult for men in such a situation. Especially since many of them treat the dyeing of strands as a purely female ritual. Modern opportunities offer a wide selection of substances that effectively mask gray hair. But the stereotype is stable and unshakable. We are in «TsirulniKBarbershop» we have prepared an article for you in which we will tell you everything about men’s hair dyeing.

Men’s “no” dyeing

If you look at it, it is not entirely clear such a categorical attitude of men to hair dyeing. All the more so when it is not an ordinary pretense, but a masking of gray hair that is breaking through. After all, experiments with the bright transformation of Paul Bohb or Lionel Messi, Jared Leto or Kanye West were accepted in history. You can remember the hairstyles of such stars as Brad Pitt and David Beckham. Their discolored curls became a bright example for hundreds and thousands of young men, teenagers.

In fact, the point is not that dyeing is recognized as a female procedure. It is difficult to find a shade that is extremely close to your own color. And even with such paint, it is difficult to achieve a natural result and avoid the effect of a wig. Usually, such a result is achieved during home transformation, once again emphasizing the impracticality of the event.

Independent coloring

Having decided to remove gray hair at home, it is recommended to listen to the following points:

• Priority is always reserved for products presented by well-known brands and tested by time. It’s about insurance, not a banal overpayment for a logo. It is advisable to familiarize yourself with the reviews of the product of interest. Yes, your hair will grow back, but you don’t need to experiment to walk around bald.
• Limited color palette compared to opportunities for women. Mostly natural tones prevail. It is worth paying attention to variations several tones lighter or darker than the natural color.
• Starting dyeing, the area behind the ears, on the forehead and neck is abundantly treated with a face cream, dense in texture. So after the procedure, there will be no dark spots on the skin.
• The selected product is applied to washed and moisturized hair in strands, mostly covered with gray hair.
• Paint on men’s hair is fixed faster, which is explained by their special structure. Due to the increased rigidity, ingredients that have an intensive effect are added to the composition. Do not leave the hair with the applied substance!
• Dyeing is recommended no more than once per month. Yes, gray roots grow back over time, and the paint washes off, but frequent repetition of the procedure will lead to brittle and dry hair.

Toning and tinting components

Paint is often replaced with tinted shampoos, but such substances are not able to return the former natural color. In this case, it is better to use toning substances.

Their main purpose is to preserve the shade of the hair, not to change it. If we consider light strands as an example, the specified shampoo neutralizes their yellowness, which often appears when using poor quality water.

Toning recently mainly gels are used, which can effectively mask gray hair. But such a result does not last longer than a couple of weeks. In some, it only thins out the highlighted areas, in others it completely covers them.

Camouflage as a worthy alternative

A similar service is provided by almost every barbershop, and “TsirulniKBarbershop” is no exception. Camouflage is often compared to ammonia-free tinting. They cope with the elimination of unattractive color, but do not penetrate deep into the structure of the strands. There is a wrapping of hair devoid of pigment, while its natural shade is preserved. The shade is slightly lighter compared to natural curls, but this prevents the appearance of a wig effect.

In practice, camouflage is used for beards and mustaches. The advantage is the absence of drying of the skin, the procedure is allowed even for allergy sufferers. Among the shortcomings, it is worth noting insufficient efficiency. The point is that the master selects a shade that best matches the existing natural color. Brushes are used to apply the component to the strands, the total duration does not exceed half an hour.

Over time, the camouflaged hair is washed off, covering the growing roots. The maximum effect lasts about 5 weeks. In the barbershop “TsirulniKBarbershop” camouflage to combat gray hair is performed at the same time as a haircut, for which pleasant discounts are provided.
