Most women already have their own? Beauty ritual? With the hair, we usually know the care needed for our hair type and we know the difficulties in keeping the color always beautiful, hydrated appearance, with loose, nourished and moving hair.
When hair is blonde, whether natural, dyed or bleached, these care and maintenance needs to be more intense and frequent, as bleach often damages the strand structure and makes them unable to absorb and maintain the nutrients needed for their hair. Growth and healthy appearance, so the need to hydrate at least once a week.
The fad of fading and the dream of platinum strands is what gave rise to the many options of hair schedules in the market, which are already the darlings of bloggers and various celebrities.
In addition to constant hydration, another characteristic of blondes is the need to tint the color from time to time, that is, neutralize the strands that turn yellow after daily washings, intensifying the color, whether in blond hair, discolored or with lights. However, the number of options for this type of care is large and we end up getting confused between the terms used by hairdressers and cosmetic brands, so in this matter we have doubts and clarified some myths about shades.
Difference between tinting, unblocking and toning
The maintenance of bleached hair should be done with one of these three items, as these do not damage the hair so much and allow for a longer period of time between one discoloration and another, or even the famous "retouching of lights". This avoids capillary breakage and irreversible chemical damage to the wires, famous for leaving only one treatment option: radical cutting.
According to Hairstylist Rogerio Krisan, owner of the salon that bears his name, tinter and derailleur, are usually available in masks, shampoos and conditioners and have a shorter durability. Already the toner is considered a type of coloring. "The use should only be done by a professional, and the color durability is longer," he explains.
So, to prevent this from happening, find out the best method for tinting your hair and postpone bleaching retouching as long as you can.
Tinter
- How it acts: removes orange pigments from hair;
- Advantages: The result is obtained in a short time and can be done at home;
- Disadvantages: The result does not have a very high durability;
- Indication: Any discolored or dyed hair;
- How to use: It can be mixed with moisturizing masks or even hydrogen peroxide, but always consult a specialist. check it step by step.
Derailleur
- How it works: Removes yellow pigments from strands that have lost platinum;
- Advantages: Usually comes in the form of shampoo and can be used at bath time;
- Disadvantages: Because it is the weakest (and least aggressive) product among the three options, results come more gradually and slowly;
- Indication: It is indicated for all blond hair that is yellowish and wants a grayish shade. Being a product not very aggressive, has no contraindications;
- How to use: The unblocking shampoo can be used at bath time. Each brand has its own way of use, but it usually acts within minutes. check it step by step.
Toning
- How it acts: It is a lighter dye and usually does not harm the hair. It deposits the desired color and lasts about eight washes;
- Advantages: In bleached hair the shine bath with toning also serves as a tinting and ungluing;
- Disadvantages: with each new wash the strands lose some of their color;
- Note: for those who want greater color durability;
- How to use: Because it is a type of dye, you should look for a professional to achieve the desired color and not take risks at home. check it step by step.
All three can be used for any type of hair, it all depends on the expected result. Rogério says that the results of the use of tinting and unblocking are generally not as intense and lasting as the results of the toner. The first two are palliative, giving only a mask in unwanted color with short durability.
There are products that last only one wash. In the toner there is no longer this risk, the durability is much higher and the cosmetic effect on the wires is amazing. To maintain this toner, the use of quality shampoo, conditioners and masks are essential ?, he says.

6 most common questions answered
There are still many questions regarding blond, gray and platinum wires. Which is the best product, what is the ideal treatment frequency, which shampoo color to use, among others. Rogério Krisan talks about the most frequently asked questions he receives and gives some tips for choosing the ideal product.
1. Can I tint my hair with gentian violet? What are the precautions?
I do not recommend it, as gentian violet is an antiseptic product to take care of inflammation and abrasions, and contains alcohol in its composition causing a severe dryness.
2. Can I tint my hair with toner at home?
Any chemical procedure should never be done at home, always seek the advice of a professional.
3. Do I need to use cream with the tinter?
It is not necessary to add any kind of cream to the tinters, because these products are usually in the form of masks, or conditioners. If you add any other cream, the end result will not be satisfactory as the pigment charge that is inside the product will be diluted with the addition of any other cream.
4. What is the ideal care routine to keep blond hair hydrated and without yellowing?
The ideal routine would be to do reconstruction treatments every 15 days in the salon, once a week use a shampoo with pigments for blonde hair and tone the hair at least once a month in the salon. Using an excellent shampoo and conditioner for daily maintenance is also important.
5. Should I use it every day or do I use it? Does your hair dry out?
The frequency of use indicated by some manufacturers is once a week. This varies greatly from brand to brand, some that say it can be used two to three times a week. But always refer to the manufacturer's label.
As we are talking about shampoos, conditioners and masks with pigments, depending on the quality of the pigment used to make that product, can cause a dryness, yes.
6. Purple, gray or blue tinter? What color / recommendation?
This concentration of pigment in products also varies with the blonde's profile, the more golden the hair, the greater the pigment load you will need to have a beneficial result. Usually the most used for cosmetic use are products with violet or purple pigments, as they have the function to make the hair tone more natural. The blue pigment, in diluted form, turns gray, but slight greening may occur on the hair. So be very careful when choosing the product.
