sävyttävät

Sävyttävät is a Finnish term that translates to "toning" or "tinting" in English. It refers to the process of adding color to something, particularly hair. In the context of hair coloring, sävyttävät products are used to adjust or enhance the existing color of the hair, rather than drastically changing it. This can involve neutralizing unwanted brassy tones, adding subtle hints of color, or deepening an existing shade.

Sävyttävät products often work by depositing pigments onto the hair shaft. Unlike permanent hair dyes that penetrate the hair cuticle and alter its natural pigment, toning products typically coat the hair surface or deposit color in a less permanent way. This makes them ideal for maintaining and refreshing color between full coloring sessions. They can also be used to achieve specific fashion colors or to create a more nuanced and multi-dimensional look.

The application of sävyttävät products can vary depending on the desired outcome. Some are rinse-out treatments, while others are applied and left on for a short period before rinsing. The intensity and longevity of the toning effect depend on the product used and the porosity of the hair. Sävyttävät can be found in various forms, including shampoos, conditioners, masks, and semi-permanent dyes.
