Professional hair dyes, unlike the mass market, were originally designed for the work of hairdressers. But today, almost all popular lines can be found on the shelves of ordinary stores. Plus, the instructions for dyes have information on how they can be used for home care.

Compared with conventional, professional dyes have a number of advantages. They contain a large number of useful components that allow you to keep your hair healthy and well-groomed. When using professional paints, the color is distributed over the strands evenly and uniformly. This is facilitated by stabilizing reagents in the composition, which are aimed at reducing the reaction rate.In addition, professional dyes are more persistent, have a less pungent smell, they can be mixed with each other to give the hair an unusual shade.

The main disadvantage of such products is that most paints are sold without an oxidizing agent. It must be purchased separately and mixed in the correct proportion with the dye. The technology of professional staining itself requires knowledge and experience that specialists possess. In addition, the result is highly dependent on the correct choice of shade. As a result, not all users can choose the right tone and mix the ingredients correctly without recommendations and reviews from hairdressers. We have prepared the top of the best and most sought-after professional hair dyes, about which we found the most positive feedback from hairdressers and users. Among them there are dyes of Russian and European brands, with and without ammonia.
