- How long should I wait to recolour my hair if I’m unhappy with the result?

Always read and follow the instructions for use of the hair colour. 75,00% of 12 voters found this FAQ useful, I found this FAQ  useful  not useful - Why does my hair turn red when coloured?
There are two types of melanin in human hair – Eumelanin (colours hair grey, black, yellow and brown) and Pheomelanin (imparts a pink to red hue). Their proportion determines the exact colour of your hair. Lightening natural colour reveals these pigments. If you want to neutralize the red shade in blond hair, for example, it is recommended choosing ash hue colours. You’d better ask your colourist for a specific advice. 50,00% of 10 voters found this FAQ useful, I found this FAQ useful not useful - Can I use permanent haircolour on my permed hair?

In different situations, there can be different reasons for this: If your hair is dark and you chose a lighter colour, in order to achieve the desired result, you have to bleach your hair 1-2 tones first. Hair Bleach Super Blond ELEA would do this for you. If your hair has been continually treated with colour, bleach and/or permanent waves, most likely it has become porous. This results in absorption of greater quantity of hair dye and producing more intense colour. You should ask your colourist for a professional help. We suggest that, the next time you reapply this colour to your hair, you cover your new growth first, wait for 20 min, then apply to the rest of the hair. Wash out after another 10 min. 100,00% of 6 voters found this FAQ useful, I found this FAQ useful not useful - What causes colour to fade?
Åxposure to sun, permanent waves, unsuitable shampoo, perspiration, etc. - all cause fading. It's important to use mild colour-compatible shampoos and conditioners, such as Elea Cosmetic line products.

Haircolour isn’t simply divided into blondes, browns, reds, etc. Tones are a way to describe the actual shade. For example, you can be light brown, light golden brown, light ash brown, or light auburn brown. The tone describes the characteristic of the haircolour. If you want to add warmth to your hair, choose warmer tones with key words like golden, red, copper, mahogany, or auburn. To minimize warmth or cool your hair down, choose a haircolour with the words ash or violet in the name. If you don’t want to change the amount of warmth or coolness in your hair, then choose a natural tone. 100,00% of 1 voters found this FAQ useful, I found this FAQ useful not useful - What's the difference between day and night creams?
