Advantages and disadvantages
Before deciding to change your appearance, it is important to determine what benefits or troubles you can get from this. Consider the pros first:
- minor damage, in contrast to persistent cream colors;
- ideal for frequent image changes, since the pigment does not last long;
- the difference in natural colors with growing roots is practically not noticeable;
- immediately after the correction, you will enjoy the saturation and shine.
As with any chemical procedure, there are downsides. Firstly, changes are possible only by 2-3 tones. Secondly, to constantly maintain the result, you will have to often paint.
Advice! To make your hair look natural, choose a tone that is as close to natural as possible.
Recommendations for dark-haired
Covering a completely black color with a light ammonia-free preparation will not work. But even without this, your shock will sparkle with new colors. Although you don't become a blonde, you can add expressiveness and saturation. To look original, girls resort to fashionable techniques of shatush, balayage and ombre.
To look bright and luxurious in the photo, tint the dark areas. Then some strands will conquer with contrast. To do this, select a product 1 - 2 shades darker and follow the simple instructions:
- separate the dyed curls;
- treat the roots with a colorless tonic without touching the rest of the mass;
- leave the composition for 30 - 40 minutes;
- if you need to eliminate yellowness, apply to light areas.
If you have black hair, go for chestnut, red copper, burgundy, or eggplant. This will add neatness.
Advice! For a light effect, washing your hair in two passes is enough. In this case, each time you need to leave the product for five minutes.
Features of changing light brown strands
It is believed that if your native mop is light brown, you are very lucky. You can not only shade it, but also completely transform your image.

How to change redhead
Extreme caution is necessary for the red-haired beasts. If you are a bright representative of them, the red palette will suit you: chestnut, copper, bronze, mahogany and cinnamon. You don't have to try to turn into a brunette or a blonde - you will not only fail, but also can become a real problem.
But don't get upset prematurely. You will still look brighter than the rest, especially if you combine tinting with tanned bronze skin.
Apply multiple products to add volume. But for the richness of dark colors, update regularly to avoid looking dull and dull. The fact is that copper is washed out faster than blond.
Do not listen to inexperienced advisors who insist that you first need to paint with henna, and then with a chemical agent. If you combine both compositions, you damage the structure, and you can also get an unexpected (even green!) Tone.
Advice! If your curls are weakened, take a rehabilitation course with the help of professional masks. Only a healthy and well-groomed mop looks really beautiful.
Do you have blonde hair?
To improve blond curls, you must first determine your own color type. "Cold" girls suit wheat, current ashy, luxurious pearl, elite silver and calm smoky. "Warm" should give preference to sweet honey, original mustard, unsurpassed caramel, voluptuous copper and "golden nut".
Lightening with a toning shampoo will not work, since there are no oxidants in it. By the way, it is possible that you get an unexpected tone. But if you have previously artificially removed the pigment, but first even out the color. To do this, touch up the overgrown roots, if any. Keep the mixture for no more than five minutes.
Those who were previously brunette may develop an unpleasant yellow after discoloration. You will need to add some balm.
Advice! Dyes contain chemical components, so do not forget about leaving after dyeing. Avoid oily formulations as they speed up the washout process.
How to disguise gray hair
Fighting age-related changes is not as easy as it seems. If you have more than 40% of your head completed, then you cannot do without ammonia cream paint. But don't get discouraged ahead of time. You can always improve the look of your styling. Pearl, ash, pastel and silver are perfect for this.
