Fashionable options for dark curls
Curls with saturated pigment have a number of features, but the opinions of colorists agree on one thing - on such a basis it is very problematic to create high-quality ombre overflows... It is impossible to use just two tones to achieve a smooth, harmonious stretch.

Some extravagant women of fashion resort to platinum and silver blonde. Such decisions look bold and unusual. But remember that using too light shades looks unnatural and very radical. Stay on a related palette whenever possible.

- the hair structure of brunettes consists of stable pigmentation, so most likely you will have to resort to lightening the ends;

Also, this technique saves when you want to add light colors to life, but there is still not enough courage for a radical transformation into a blonde. An undoubted plus is the fact that when the hair grows back, no one dares to blame the beauty for regrown roots. Not a single soul will notice this.
For fair-haired beauties with a cold undertone, stylists recommend using light ash and dark gray, light silver and cold platinum tones. To increase the contrast, you can darken the roots using a dye a couple of positions darker than the native color.

- beauties with golden tan shamelessly choose chocolate tones in the root zone and ash-milky scale for the ends;
- olive notes will gratefully accept the game with a rich palette of light brown.
