There is an opinion that coloring agents are harmless, but this is far from the truth. In addition to this dangerous component, paints contain quite a few aggressive substances. The most harmful to the body are: resorcinol, nickel and hydroquinone.
Therefore, when choosing a hair dye, it is important to pay attention not to the absence of ammonia, but to nutrients and protective substances:, extracts, and ceramide complexes. They are the ones who protect the hair during coloring.
Professional products are considered the best among paints. They not only offer a rich palette of colors, but also cause less damage to the hair.
In addition, after painting with professional paints, the color applies evenly, is washed off gradually and fades less under the influence of ultraviolet rays.
The only disadvantage of such products, perhaps, is the need to separately purchase an oxidizing agent. We invite you to familiarize yourself with 5 professional hair dyes, which experts consider the best at the moment.

How to recognize a good hair dye
You can often hear the opinion that dye that does not contain ammonia is absolutely safe and cannot damage your hair. Unfortunately, this is a myth! Ammonia-free paints are indeed not so aggressive, however, they also contain plenty of harsh components that can cause harm. So, when choosing a paint, you need to look not so much at the absence of ammonia, but at the presence of essential and natural oils, plant extracts and other useful components that soften the effects of chemical ingredients.
Compared to mass-market paints, professional products are more durable - they fade less in the sun, the color fades gradually and evenly, and does not wash out after the second or third wash. And finally, manufacturers of such paints offer a rich palette of shades from natural to shocking, among which you can easily choose exactly the tone you need. In addition, colors within the same line can be mixed to obtain a more accurate shade. However, you need to be careful here - after all, many brands have colors that are intended solely for diluting other shades and are not suitable for full coloring. They are called correctors or mixtons. And know that, unlike conventional paints, professional paints require a separate purchase of an oxidizing agent.
And our rating, compiled taking into account the opinions of experts and reviews of ordinary users, will help you choose the best among professional paints.

Characteristics of coloring pigment
Before you listen to advice on what dye you should purchase for dyeing your hair at home, consider: color and durability coating depends on the characteristics of the coloring matter. Let's consider the most important characteristics of household and professional pigments.

Permanent– a substance that penetrates into the deep layers of the hair and radically changes its color.

Direct coloring (tinting)
Toning counts temporary coloring option, since the coloring pigment penetrates only into the cuticle of the hair. In 6–8 times the tint paint is completely washed out. Due to the fact that the composition does not contain ammonia and peroxide, lighten her hair impossible.
Professionals highlight the following Features of direct dyeing:
- The dye is on sale united composition: most often, toning is carried out with special tint shampoos.
- Direct staining can be done without use brushes: just foam the hair on your head so that the ubiquitous pigment penetrates the cuticle of each hair.

Semi-permanent hair color is chosen by women who want to add brightness and expressiveness to their natural hair color. Semi-permanent pigment usually lasts 30–40 procedures on washing your hair.
The composition characteristics are as follows:
- Minor amount of peroxide in the composition: hair is damaged less than with permanent dyeing.
- Huge color palette.
- There is no ammonia in the semi-permanent dye.
Temporary pigment
Temporary pigment is designed to color hair once. The fact is that the pigment envelops the hairs, but does not penetrate the scales. The color is washed off during the first shampooing procedure.
Bleaching
It is believed that bleaching hair is a very traumatic procedure. It is produced by preparations containing a large number of chemicals and completely destroys the hair structure, destroying color pigment.
Among drugs for clarification there are:
- Lightening powders
Lightening powder is a popular substance that has gained recognition among a wide female audience. The price of powders starts from 30 rubles. Unfortunately, cheap formulations have a detrimental effect on the scalp and hair structure, so most often after bleaching, the hair looks like straw. More expensive analogues contain caring substances that allow you to preserve your hair after the procedure. The powder can lighten dark hair by 7 tones. - Lightening paints
Lightening dyes are designed to solve two problems: hair lightening and toning. When choosing the right shade, the result obtained on the hair is as close as possible to the color indicated on the box.

When using household paint, follow all instructions included in the package and be sure to conduct a sensitivity test. This can be done by applying the composition to the bend of the elbow.
Ammonia or non-ammonia paint
Having heard about ammonia-free dyes and their safety for hair, thousands of women flocked to professional stores for their long-awaited purchase. However reach Only a few achieved the desired result after staining. Hence a lot of negative reviews about chemical-free paint. Let's figure it out, why they arose and who would use this paint:
- The paint is suitable for women who want to get safe coloring to the detriment of pigment durability. The poor durability is due to the fact that ammonia-free dyes are washed out of the hair in less than 25 shampooing procedures.
- Due to poor durability, coloring has to be done no less once every 1–1.5 months. Good ammonia-free paint costs a lot, which can significantly undermine a carefully planned budget.
Considering these features, you can understand whether it is worth purchasing ammonia-free paint. If the decision is positive, then when painting you can be sure that the hair will not be damaged. On the contrary: the color will become more saturated, brightness and healthy shine will be added.
If you plan to dye with permanent pigment, be prepared for complete or partial damage to your hair.
