Advantages of ammonia-free paint

Only those who know the structure of the hair and understand the principle of permanent dyeing can realize all the advantages of ammonia-free dyes. At the time of hair formation in the skin, its core has a liquid consistency, with air bubbles inside.

Cortex envelops the core - it has a fibrous structure, gives mechanical strength. In the voids between the cells of the cortex are pigment granules. Closer to the outer layers, their surface part acquires a scaly form.

The task of ammonia is to raise these scales to wash the natural pigment, replace it with an artificial one.

Regular permanent staining leads to the fact that the scales are severely damaged. Moisture and nutrients evaporate through the damaged outer layer. Strands lose shine, strength, become dry, brittle, split.

Dyes without ammonia do not contain ammonia. Pigment covers the hair shaft from the outside without penetrating inside. Of course, such a pigment is washed off faster, but after experiments with a hairstyle, the hair remains healthy.
