Who suits and who abstains
Girls often do not like natural light brown, as it is considered boring and uninteresting. But not everyone is attracted to dramatic changes. Therefore, colorists have come up with new ways of transformation that modern women of fashion are perfecting. For example, our version can be called universal. He is equally noble on fair-skinned and dark-skinned women. In addition, it is harmoniously combined with different eyes.
Despite the harmony, it is important to take into account some of the nuances. For example, skin imperfections will only be accentuated (especially freckles). Any scars and wrinkles will stand out and add unattractiveness. Even makeup may not save the day.
The only contraindication is the oriental type. In this case, warm variations are dynamic and interesting. They reveal identity and uniqueness. The contrast of the face and hair is not desirable.
Most stylists recommend a new look to you if you:
- natural blonde with an Aryan cold appearance;
- fair-haired beauty with pronounced eyes and Slavic texture;
- brunette with fair skin and dark bright eyes;
- a dark-skinned young lady with unusual eyes;
- a green-eyed brown-haired woman with porcelain skin.
Contact a professional master and he will transform any virgin.
Advice! If you regularly paint regularly, the lamination procedure will help to preserve the color and gain a natural shine. It is usually performed 2 to 3 weeks after the appearance correction.
Light overflows
Paired with highlighting, light blond looks great. At the same time, it is better to add a few more tones so that the mop looks multifaceted and interesting. This will highlight the beauty of one color scheme.
You can get the desired effect with the help of ammonia-free dyes. You will have to try hard if your tone is black or copper. We'll have to resort to lightening and eliminating yellowness. But if you have a beige tone, you can transform it using only tinting balm. You will get gorgeous, subtly perceptible overflows.
Most popular light colors:
- Excellence from L Oreal Paris - 7.1 and 9.1;
- Casting Cream Gloss from L Oreal Paris – 910, 10.21, 801, 810.
Advice!Before toning dark hair, first go through the lightening procedure. Otherwise, due to the purple pigment content, you will end up with a dirty green.
Dark gamut
At the same time, dark ash blond will help to achieve the charm of a blonde and the severity of a brown-haired woman. He connects two shades with each other. An excellent solution for a business woman who does not want to look too extravagant, but a boring everyday look has become boring for a long time.
Keep in mind that greenishness often appears. Fear not, this is a natural occurrence. It can be eliminated with light copper or champagne tonic. But you run the risk of ruining all the beauty of the natural.
By the way, girls often hide their dark curls under copper, black and white. Sometimes you just need to rinse off the artificial colors to get what you want.It is not difficult for blondes to do this - you just need to dye it natural several times with the same frequency. But brunettes and redheads are unlikely to do without lightening.
Advice! For the first painting, it is better to contact an experienced colorist. He will accurately determine the proportions of the dye and tell you which variety suits your color type. This is necessary to facilitate subsequent self-execution.
Ash blond
The variant is considered one of the most trendy lately. He is chosen by Hollywood stars, wanting to emphasize innocence, youth and freshness.
The variety is suitable for girls with gray or blue eyes, and is also contraindicated in natural chestnut, red or black. Dark skin and dark eyes also look out of place in the composition.
The easiest way to achieve the result is for blondes. Only one procedure is enough for them. If the blond gives off brown, then it is difficult for the gray to "get along" with it. We'll have to turn to experts to avoid odd situations and turn into a blue-haired mermaid.
The best remedies are:
- Essex;
- Matrix Color Sync;
- Syoss;
- Palette;
- Concept.
Advice!Don't go after fashion. Always consider the peculiarities of your own appearance. If stylists do not recommend the desired shade for you, it is better to listen to them. This will avoid unexpected negative outcomes.
Brown ash
This type is considered to be the most common in nature. Therefore, its relevance is easily explained: natural tones are in fashion. Who is it best for? First of all, for owners of brown eyes and dark skin, but light is also appropriate.
If you are lost in the names of paints, pay attention to "frosty chestnut", "cold chocolate", "amethyst". In tandem with highlighting, wheat and dairy are harmoniously combined.
Fear not, visually, the result looks impressive and in no way ages. Add a little chocolate to surprise everyone with the richness and depth of the hair.
Advice! Do not forget to take care of the mop, otherwise, after exposure to chemicals, it will turn into a lifeless mass. Apply conditioners and tinted shampoos regularly.
Choosing paint
Of course, it is better to use expensive brand dyes. The manufacturer is worried about its reputation, so it offers a quality product. Often, in addition to the ammonia-free sparing composition, users are attracted by useful additives. For example, caring oils, silk extracts, vitamins for growth and other components. Pick several options and mix them together for the perfect cocktail.
But if it is not possible to buy a professional product, you can choose the best from those sold in mass markets. Let's consider them in more detail.

Advice! The best image for you in a new style is the snow queen. A well-chosen make-up will improve the image. The smokey ice technique and pale coral or pinkish lipsticks are great.
How to achieve what you want at home?
If you do not want to visit a beauty salon for some reason, you can carry out the procedure yourself. To do this, you will need a dye, oxidizer, hairpins, a comb, a brush, and protective gloves.
Brunettes must first go through the clarification stage. Light brown, fortunately, you can skip it. We proceed directly to painting.
- Prepare the colorant according to the instructions on the package insert. Wear plastic gloves to protect your hands.
- Begin to distribute the mixture evenly from the crown of the head, gradually separating small strands and moving to the back of the head and lower area.
- Proceed to the side areas, smoothly moving to the temples, forehead and bangs.
- Maintain the time indicated by the manufacturer (30 - 40 minutes).
- Rinse off with copious amounts of running water until the liquid is completely clear.
- Apply balm, dry off and enjoy the result.
Please note that ashy may appear yellowish after a short period of time. To prevent this from happening, buy yourself a toning shampoo.
When the root zone grows back noticeably, it needs to be restored so that no transitions are visible. To do this, it is necessary to direct all efforts to painting over this particular area. But remember that such a manipulation is possible only if the first time you performed it on natural hair. If they were previously lightened, the difference will be clear.
Care rules
In order for the shade to last for a long time, you need to carefully look after it. To do this, follow simple rules.
- Minimize the use of a hair dryer, curling iron and other thermal devices. They make the curls look dull and lifeless. Dry your head at room temperature, after removing excess moisture with a towel.
- Try to paint the entire surface no more than twice a year. The roots can be manipulated more often, since in this area there is maximum protection and moisturizing by the sebaceous glands.
- Use tinted shampoos for premature correction. They will add saturation and brightness.
- Even blond hairs can be lightened slightly to make the paint run better.
- Do not apply henna and basma to hair dyed with chemicals. You will get unexpected bad results.
- Discard varnish, foam and fixing mousses. They "eat" the shine inherent in a healthy shock.
- Don't forget about masks, shampoos and conditioners with vitamins. They heal, nourish and restore.
As we can see, the recommendations are quite simple. If you follow them, your new image will delight you and the people around you for a long time.
Advice!If you do not know how a new shade will look on you, use online programs on the Internet, where you can choose any haircut from a photo. Or head to a wig store and try on a few options.
