Why women love light colors
At all times, ladies have strived lighten hair... They climbed onto the roofs of houses and sat for hours under the scorching rays of the sun. Smeared curls with lemon juice and sour milk. Prepared potions and serums.
Today, becoming a blonde is not at all difficult. Shops are full of bright boxes from different brands. Hundreds of cool pigments are available at affordable prices. So what is the advantage of a blonde head?
- Light hairs rejuvenate the face, as if hiding small wrinkles, dull skin;
- There are many color tones that allow you to change slightly each month. The dark mop is not so easy to change the pigment regularly;
- This range perfectly hides gray hair, especially when there is not much of it;
- In this color design, the hair seems more voluminous, lush and thick.
A significant drawback of coloring is the aggressive effect of oxidants, which, to create a high-quality painting, cannot be avoided. Burning out native pigmentation, the oxide deprives the hair of moisture, vitality and elasticity. Therefore, for blond hair, it is necessary to double all procedures for nutrition and strengthening.

What factors affect the color after staining
Unfortunately, it is very rare that the final color on the head completely coincides with the sample printed on the box with the dye composition. More often than not, the result is drastically different. It's a big mistake to blame the manufacturer. Explore the factors that play a role in color formation:
- Initial color. Was the hair dyed before or did you come to the master with your natural pigment? As you know, a clean hair takes new paint much better;
- Henna. If the strands on the head are processed hennaforget about perfect platinum, pearl, ash or silver;
- Dye. It is recommended to use professional products that are offered in salons. Shop trains are worse at coping with the task of cardinal renewal;
- Shoe thickness and structure. The easiest way is to paint over thin and straight curls;
- The health level is a lock. The stronger and stronger the hair, the more pliable it will accept the procedure;
- Woman's hormonal background. Even it matters. It is not recommended to discolor during critical days, pregnancy, breastfeeding. And also, try to come to the salon in a peaceful state, without nerves and well rested.
As you understand, there are a bunch of ingredients that can affect the painting. If you are settling on an unusual and complex half tone, test the dye on one strand. Let the total process take longer. But you will be sure that instead of the desired exquisite caramel, you won't get the dirty straw.
Cold, warm and neutral

- Consider a warm palette. It is, of course, golden, sunny, wheat, caramel, honey, amber, flaming, fiery. The paints have a yellow base with a gray, beige or olive tint.
- Neutral palettes include beige, sandy, natural or natural tones. These are the most organic options that resemble native hairs as much as possible. They are often used for procedures ombre, highlighting, balayage, because of the magical appearance of the gradient from dark roots to light tips.
