The line is presented in 2 series:

It is produced as follows: apply a solution to the skin inside the elbow or behind the ear, the reaction is checked for up to 48 hours. In case of the slightest redness, the product should not be used. The reaction should be checked before each staining, especially when changing the batch or color.
If the test went well, but symptoms appeared during staining, you should immediately rinse the dye from the hair with warm water.

- Dizzy, or fainting.

There are some points at which there are prohibitions on the procedure:
- Consumer under 16.
- There are tattoos: henna or temporary.
- There are scalp lesions, a rash on the face and scalp, or sensitive skin.
- Allergy to paint components.
How long does the color last
Garnier hair dye (palette - from light to dark) won the hearts of women and one of the reasons was the persistence of the dye. The usual classification of paints for color fastness and ammonia content classifies Garnier products in the following types.
- Permanent (Toughness Level 3) - as part of the paint ammonia. The permanent penetrates deep into the central layer of the hair. The most indelible paint, lasts up to 28 shampoo washes.
- Semi-permanent (Toughness level 2) - there is no ammonia in the composition. In ordinary paints, the pigment enters shallowly into the cortical layer, the color changes after 8-10 washes.
In Garnier paints, revolutionary technology achieves a level of durability regardless of the ammonia content. In all series, the company has achieved resistance level 3.
Hair will not change color until 28 washes, which is an average of 6-7 weeks. In the event of a dramatic color change or noticeable gray hair, the hair regains its natural color as the hair roots grow back, for about 4-6 weeks, depending on the growth rate.
The durability of all Garnier series of paints is predetermined by the following points:
- pigments penetrate to the very depths of the hair;
- natural oils strengthen the hair cuticle, so pigments are difficult to wash out.
After dyeing without the necessary care, any dye begins to come off the hair in 3-4 weeks. For the effect to last longer, it is necessary to use specialized products: shampoos, balms, masks for colored hair.

Products can be purchased at traditional local outlets, or you can choose from a distance store or pharmacy, having studied all aspects of the product according to customer reviews.
A purchase from an online store may be cheaper than a traditional outlet, due to the fact that they have various bonus programs and promotions. But it must be borne in mind that delivery of the goods will take some time.
Regardless of where the product will be purchased, it is recommended that you first study it according to reviews and recommendations on the Internet and only then purchase the product.
Features of colored hair care
Hair after dyeing acquires an increased porosity of the texture, and this circumstance affects on the ability of hair to receive trauma and damage from the following factors:
- negative influence of the environment, especially the sun;
- the quality of the water used for washing hair;
- hot hair styling;
- styling chemicals - mousses, varnishes, gels, wax, textureizers.
To minimize the influence of factors, you need to adhere to the following rules:
- The choice of coloring agents should stop at trusted manufacturers that use a large proportion of natural ingredients in the composition of paints.
- Before washing, it is advisable to lubricate the hair for 2 hours with oils: argan or coconut. Argan oil is a natural protector against sun damage, promotes healing and activates hair growth. Coconut oil strengthens the structure and gives a radiant shine.
- Shampoos for washing should have a low pH. They tend to smooth the hair cuticle - the dye lasts longer in the hair structure.
- You can apply a slightly toning shampoo of a suitable tone. It will keep the hair bright between dyes.
- Styling should have either a minimum percentage of alcohol, or it should be completely absent. Alcohol negatively affects the opening of the cuticle, and, accordingly, washes out the paint.
- On hot days, it is necessary to especially carefully monitor the health of your hair. Ordinary summer hats will help neutralize the influence of the sun.
- Hot water, the chlorine content in tap water helps the cuticle to open up, therefore, to wash your hair, you need slightly warm, minimally chlorine-containing water. A water filter can be used to reduce the amount of chlorine. It will lower the chlorine content and further lower the pH level of the water.
Garnier hair dye with a variety of tint palettes has firmly established itself in the home use hair dye market due to its characteristics. Many buyers are satisfied with the quality of the products and leave their grateful reviews on the Internet.

I bought Garnier paint - frosty chocolate (tone 4.15), Oliya series. I was satisfied with the staining. My hair is dull, after dyeing it began to look great - it acquired brightness and novelty. Average hair length, the amount of paint was enough for coloring. Pleased with the volume of the balm, it was enough for 3 applications. The sensations on the head are very pleasant from the silk of iridescent curls.
Hello! I would like to share a little my opinion on Garnier paint, tone 110, Neucherals series. Among the shortcomings: I was struck by the acrid ammonia smell of the paint, which irritated the throat. The set time of staining withstood with difficulty. The second drawback: very thin, impractical gloves, they did not break, but the sensations were unpleasant. I am satisfied with the result of painting - the color was not quite like in the picture, but close.
Good day! I'll tell you about my negative experience of using the paint Garnier imperial ruby, Sensation series, tone - 6.60. I have early gray hair, about 30%. I decided to embellish myself with a red hair tone, at the same time to hide the gray hair. I did everything according to the instructions, but the color turned out not quite the same, the gray hair was not completely painted over, the gray hair is noticeably lighter than the rest of the mass. Now I think: either I did not take everything into account, or did the vaunted tool fail?
