How to tint your hair – what to use
The ideal is to avoid homemade mixtures, such as preparations with gentian violet or beet and invest in a quality tint. You can ask for an indication to your hairdresser, who will know how to indicate the best product according to the shade of your hair. Yes, there are tinters for all hair tones, but the most common ones are for lighter and more open tones.
If the tone of your blond hair is below 9, medium blond, the result is already a more orange color, so the tint will have virtually no effect on your hair. If your locks are above tone 9, more pulled to the light blond, the purple tint will be very powerful in your hair. Be careful not to overdo the application and end up with purple nuances.
There are other possibilities as well, depending on the color of your dye. For example, very yellowish blondes, with golden highlights, ask for a bluish purple tint. Golden blondes, on the other hand, guarantee a better result with a dark blue tint. If your hair is gray or very platinum, both the purple and blue tints will work well on your hair.
Other options for the tint
If you prefer, instead of the mattress, you can choose to use a dye remover. The difference between the two is that the detoxifier is not such a powerful product, so you will have to use it more often until you get the desired result. The tint, in turn, has an instant effect, just apply it once to see the result in the coloring of the strands.
Another option is to use a shampoo with violet pigments every 15 days. This product is perfect for reducing the orange color of the hair and highlighting the original shade.

Tint your hair after lights or dye
Frequency
Well, after lightening or dyeing your hair, be aware of the fading process of the original color. If you get too much sun, dip in chlorine or sea water, get too much wind in the strands, the hair will feel more quickly. Therefore, the ideal is that, at least, a month after the application of lights or dye you evaluate the need to tint the locks.
If the strands are very faded or orange, you can do the process every 15 days. But, as soon as you get close to the desired shade, space for once a month, as over-application can dry out your hair. In this case, it is worth alternating with a shampoo with violet pigments, which will help to better hold the color.
How to tint hair with highlights or highlights
The hair that already has a blonde base and on top is with highlights or highlights is a challenge when it comes to tinting. After all, the time and type of shade can vary for each tone. In this case, it is possible that you have a better and more intense result in the lights and locks than at the base of the wires. The important thing is to test the shade you choose and assess whether the result was positive for your locks.
