Metallic salts, organic chemical compounds, plant components or mixtures of these substances can serve as coloring agents in hair coloring compositions. Hair dyes (for growing hair) must be very carefully formulated and absolutely harmless.

Among hair coloring products, preparations of silver salts are practically applicable, provided that the hair is properly pre-treated. Various shades from light to black are achieved by appropriate concentration of solutions or repeated dyeing. Frequent washing and combing over time lightens the hair color, so hair coloring should be repeated from time to time.

Coloring produced with metal salts does not penetrate into the hair substance, but remains only on its outer layer and in most cases gives a matte tint.

Organic dyes, when used to make such paints, have many disadvantages; in most cases, they are not very stable and easily decompose, which entails harmful, even dangerous skin diseases.

Of course, you cannot use paraphenylenediamine and ursods for hair coloring, which, although they give good natural shades, often cause serious skin diseases.

The use of organic compounds is based in most cases on the fact that, when exposed to atmospheric oxygen or a composition that releases oxygen, they form a coloring matter. It should be noted that each individual's living hair reacts differently to hair dyes.

In addition, pre-treatment of hair, degreasing, etc. are also important. Many people, due to specific sensitivity or individual characteristics (idiosyncrasies), cannot tolerate certain hair dyes at all.

The most common practice is hair coloring using silver salts. This method is relatively safe and only rarely produces unwanted side effects. It must be borne in mind that too strong solutions of silver salts gradually destroy the hair substance. Due to the light sensitivity of silver salts, solutions of such substances should always be given in brown vials.

The coloring method using silver salts is based on the reduction of these salts into oxide and metallic silver or on the transition to an insoluble silver coloring compound. Sulfur alkalis, sodium sulfide salt or pyrogallol are used as reducing agents. A silver salt solution without other impurities is not suitable for hair coloring. When making your own compositions of hair dyes, as well as when making according to ready-made recipes, you need to test the color on the palm of your hand (everything that colors the skin equally colors the hair, and vice versa). The palm is very sensitive and immediately detects any phenomenon that causes irritation.

Successful dyeing depends, as already mentioned, to a large extent on proper pre-treatment of the hair. Therefore, we draw the reader’s attention to the methods of using paints, which must be observed.

It is not recommended to dye your hair yourself.

You need to carefully protect yourself from possible splashes of coloring solutions, since coloring agents cause stains on the skin and dress that are difficult to remove. In particular, you need to protect your eyes. Before dyeing your hair, your forehead, neck and all exposed parts of your face and body should be lubricated with Vaseline, lanolin or any other skin cream.

Before applying the dye, you also need to thoroughly rinse your hair to remove dust and grease. However, you should not use alkalis for this, such as soda or potash. Such substances harm the color. You should wash your hair with ordinary clean water, without any admixture of perfume or odorous substances. For soaps, it is better to use Marseilles or some neutral or good sound soap, and best of all, soap alcohol. After washing, the hair should be thoroughly rinsed with clean warm water, and then dried with a clean warm towel or a fan blowing a stream of warm air.

Colorful solutions should be applied with a soft brush (or a toothbrush), if possible, from the ends to the roots. If several solutions are used, then for each solution you need to use a special brush. After use, the brushes are rinsed with water and dried. The second solution is applied only a few minutes after the first.

After applying the solutions, the hair should be exposed to daylight if possible, since sunlight, even scattered and reflected, accelerates the hair coloring process.

Dried hair should be combed several times and then washed again with soap to remove excess dye.

If after several hours the hair appears too matte, dull or pale, then it should be lightly lubricated with a good pomade containing 2 to 3% lanolin. Frequent dyeing makes hair brittle, as a result of which it is recommended to lubricate such hair with a rich cream from time to time.

Spots on the skin caused by solutions containing silver are eliminated by using a saturated solution of yellow blood salt or a solution of potassium iodide.

Hair coloring should never be done if there are wounds or abrasions on the head. There is one bleaching agent that is not harmless - a 10-20% solution of hydrogen peroxide. After using hydrogen peroxide for a long time, the hair becomes brittle and splits easily.

1st recipe - the most simple:

Dissolve 0,35 g of nitrogen-silver salt (lapis) in 100 g of distilled water and add, while stirring or shaking, drop by drop so much ammonia so that the precipitate formed at the beginning dissolves and a clear liquid is obtained. The effect of such a coloring agent manifests itself gradually, as a result of which this paint has to be applied several times, depending on the desired tone. The organic matter of the hair itself serves as a reducing agent.

2nd recipe - with sulphurous alkali

Prepare two solutions.

1st solution

For chestnut

  • Lapis 100 g;
  • Distilled water 800 g.

For dark chestnut

  • Lapis 50 g;
  • Distilled water 150 g;
  • Ammonia (10%) 150 g.

For black color

  • Lapis 100 g;
  • Distilled water 600 g.

2st solution

For chestnut

  • Potassium trisulphide 100 g;
  • Distilled water 300 g;
  • Wine alcohol (95 °) 300 g.

For dark chestnut

  • Potassium trisulphide 100 g;
  • Wine alcohol (95 °) 600 g.

For black color

  • Potassium trisulphide 100 g;
  • Distilled water 300 g;
  • Wine alcohol (95 °) 300 g.

To dye hair, first apply the 1st solution (lapis), and then the 2nd solution (sulfurous alkali).

This method is not applicable to light blond tones. Pyrogallic compositions are suitable for such flowers.

3rd recipe - pyrogallic

The use of pyrogallol (pyrogallic acid) in hair dyes is based on its easy oxidation, especially in alkaline solutions. Oxidation produces brown, little-studied coloring substances by nature, so pyrogallol can be used as an independent hair coloring agent.

The pyrogallol solution is applied several times over several days until the desired color tone is achieved. Pyrogallol is a slow-acting hair coloring agent. If metal salts are introduced into a solution of pyrogallol, then this mixture acts much more intensely. By increasing the concentration of the solution or reapplying it to the hair, you can obtain a number of shades of varying intensity, up to black. Nitrogen-silver salt (lapis) is also used in combination with pyrogallol. It should, however, be noted that pyrogallol is not an entirely harmless remedy, since sometimes it causes more or less severe skin inflammation. If it is absorbed internally by the skin, it can cause a number of common diseases.

To obtain more harmless derivatives of pyrogallol, a number of studies are being carried out based on the introduction of acid groups into the pyrogallol molecule. In addition, experiments are being carried out quite successfully to replace pyrogallol with other phenol derivatives. Some commercially available specialty hair dyes contain such synthetic substances.

When applied pyrogall paints also produce two solutions.

1st solution

For blond hair

  • Pyrogallol 8 g;
  • Distilled water 250 g;
  • Wine alcohol (95 °) 100 g.

For brown hair

  • Pyrogallol 8,5 g;
  • Distilled water 250 g;
  • Wine alcohol (95 °) 100 g.

For black hair

  • Pyrogallol 10 g;
  • Distilled water 250 g;
  • Wine alcohol (95 °) 100 g.

2st solution

For blond hair

  • Lapis (silver nitrate) 5 g;
  • Distilled water 200 g;
  • Ammonia 20 g.

For brown hair

  • Lapis (silver nitrate) 8 g;
  • Distilled water 150 g;
  • Ammonia 30 g.

For black hair

  • Lapis (silver nitrate) 15 g;
  • Distilled water 100 g;
  • Ammonia 45 g.

For coloring, first apply a pyrogallic solution, and then a solution of silver salt.

4th recipe - Sodium sulphate

The solutions given below are prepared separately, but immediately before use they are mixed in equal parts.

1st solution

  • Sodium sulphate 25 g;
  • Distilled water 625 g;
  • Wine alcohol (95 °) 350 g.

2st solution

  • Silver nitrate 30 g;
  • Distilled water 100 g.

Dissolve and add drops of pure ammonia, while stirring or shaking, until the sediment dissolves into a barely noticeable turbidity. Filter the solution in a dark place - preferably through glass wool - and add water to 1 kg. Increasing or decreasing the silver content affects the color tone.

To achieve lighter shades, add a little more ammonia from the very beginning. Since in the latter case the precipitate is completely dissolved, filtration becomes unnecessary.

Bismuth salts color hair slowly and gradually, as a result of which the use of this product is almost invisible to strangers. These products are often called “hair color restorers” because they give natural hair tones over time: from blond to dark brown. The coloring process is explained by the sulfur content in the hair; it is accelerated by the addition of a sulfur compound (sodium sulfide salt or sulfur milk).

To obtain dark tones more quickly, bismuth sulphide is added, and for a black tone, in addition to bismuth and silver salt.

For example, we give a recipe for the manufacture of such a coloring preparation.

slow acting

  • Acetic-bismuth salt 5 g;
  • Acetic acid (80%) 1 g;
  • Rose water 600 g;
  • Glycerin 50 g;
  • Sulfuric milk (amorphous sulfur in a state of very fine fragmentation) 8 g.

Shake before use.

fast acting

  • Nitrogen-bismuth salt 20 g;
  • Sodium sulphate salt 50 g;
  • Distilled water 400 g.

Remedy for restoring hair color

  • Pyrogallic acid 10 g;
  • Water 60 g;
  • Cologne 320

Move and wet hair with a brush.

Hair coloring with manganese-potassium salt

Take a solution of 150 g of manganese-potassium salt in 2 liters of distilled water. First, they wash the hair with soap to degrease it, then with a soft brush they wet the hair with a diluted solution of manganese-potassium salt, and coloring begins immediately and gives a brown color. Depending on the degree of dilution of the solution with water, all shades from light brown to black can be obtained. This product is completely harmless.

aureole

Aureol is a proprietary hair coloring product; The color lasts a very long time. It consists of 1% metol, 0,3% amidophenol hydrochloride, 0,6% monoamidophenylamine, dissolved in 50% wine alcohol, with the addition of 5% sodium sulfur salt.

To dye the hair, first wash it with soap. Then the aureole is mixed with an equal part of hydrogen peroxide, and the hair, still damp from washing, is combed with a fine comb moistened with this mixture. After 2-3 hours a beautiful dark brown color appears, which can be made darker by repeating the same procedure.

"Rastik" or "Karzi" (Oriental hair dye)

This hair dye gives good results with prolonged and regular use. Considered harmless.

  • Ink nuts 20 g;
  • Iron dust 500 g;
  • Copper dust 20 g;
  • Ambergris 50 g;
  • Musk 20 g.

Ink nuts are ground into a fine powder and fried in an iron frying pan with constant stirring until the powder takes on a dark brown or blackish color. The powder is mixed with extremely fine iron and copper dust and thoroughly ground in a mortar. Amber and musk are added and the resulting preparation is stored in a damp place, since only under this condition does it acquire the property of dyeing hair black.

When using, take a small amount of powder on your hand, moisten it with water and rub your hair firmly with it. After a few days, the hair turns completely black, similar to its natural color.

According to Landerer's description, powder from finely crushed ink nuts is mixed with a small amount of oil and the resulting homogeneous paste is fried in an iron bowl until the release of oil vapors stops. A small amount of water is added to the residue, and then completely dried over the fire.

The resulting mass is slightly moistened and a mixture of metal dust from iron and copper is thoroughly mixed into it. The resulting preparation is stored in a damp place, where it acquires its coloring properties. This preparation, flavored with ambergris or some other aromatic essence, is called “Karzi” in the east.

To dye hair, a small amount of this preparation is crushed between your fingers and thoroughly rubbed into your hair. After a few days, the hair turns a very beautiful black color. Hair dyed with this dye becomes soft and shiny and retains its color for a long time after a single use.

Henna

Powdered alcanna leaves (Lawsonia incrmis) are called henna. Henna, used without other impurities, gives the hair a red tint. By mixing the resulting henna powder with the powder of the leaves of the woad plant (Isatis tinctoria), a dye is obtained that gives beautiful shades to the hair, ranging from brown to black.

Using a mixture of henna and woad is quite difficult and time-consuming, but the resulting shades are very beautiful, and in addition, henna, in addition to its coloring properties, is credited with a beneficial effect on hair. Henna is mixed with woad and the mixture is kneaded with water to form a thick porridge. The hair is smeared with this porridge so that it is completely covered with it, and then the head is wrapped in warm scarves. Depending on the composition of the mixture and the time spent on coloring, different shades are obtained.

For blond and dark blond shades, use henna 40 weight. tsp, woad - 80 wt. h.; Duration of use: for blond - about 45 minutes, for dark blond - about 1 hour 15 minutes.

For brown-haired and brunettes: henna - 30 wt. h., woad - 90 wt. h.; duration of use; for brown-haired people - about 1 hour 30 minutes, for brunettes - about 4 hours.

We repeat that the resulting color depends both on the length of time and on the ratio between henna and woad. Henna coloring is harmless.

New file system for Windows 8 20.01.2012

Microsoft's new file system will offer much more flexible storage and data integrity than NTFS, which turns 20 next year.

Microsoft has introduced a new file system for computing machines on the Windows platform. It was called Resilient File System (ReFS), which can be translated as "Fault Tolerant File System". Microsoft Vice President Steven Sinofsky said in a corporate blog that since they are "reinventing" Windows with Windows 8, this approach should also apply to data.

ReFS uses the basic principles of NTFS, the most popular file system on the market, introduced about 19 years ago. However, the new system was created from scratch, according to the official blog. The main goal: support for future generations of storage systems and new scenarios for working with information.

When developing ReFS, the engineers pursued the following tasks: to borrow all the best from NTFS and cut off all the difficult moments (for example, data compression and quotas were excluded); enable the system to validate and automatically correct data, maximize scalability, enable system uptime by isolating problem areas, and enable new Storage Spaces technology.

The Storage Spaces technology introduced a few days ago allows you to create single logical spaces for storing data from several drives with different connection interfaces, for example, "Documents", "Multimedia", "Archive", etc. At the same time, it is possible to connect an additional drive to the space at any time to increase the total capacity.

With the new file system, data integrity is prioritized
ReFS will allow you to detect the loss of data fragments and incorrect addressing of fragments - using checksums. It will also add technology to track degraded data ("bit rot") - the type of loss that is most difficult to notice. Data degrades due to the fact that the cells of the drive are used unevenly during operation. To identify such fragments, a process will be added to the operating system that will regularly compare data with data in backups and identify discrepancies.

If files are corrupted and cannot be restored from a backup (for example, if the system damaged all copies of a file due to some error), it will be automatically removed from the namespace. Thus, it will be "cut off" from the OS and will not cause subsequent failures.
