Who is it suitable for?
We have already touched in passing on the topic of blind imitation of the latest fashion trends. Once again, we draw your attention to the fact that each transformation must be carefully thought out, otherwise you may become a victim of the fashion industry.The main thing is that cold paints completely, and, most importantly, harmoniously fit into the external image according to individual characteristics and natural color type.
Most modern fashionistas are afraid of experimenting with this palette, naively believing that the silver undertone adds five to six years and greatly ages the skin of the face. Of course, there is some truth in this statement, but it is ready to bend under the circumstances and maneuver, if you choose the right coloring composition and an experienced master. I must say that ninety percent of success depends on the latter factor. But are there girls who will face such transformations? Of course, there are - these are the happy owners of the following advantages:
- Gray, blue, light brown and green eyes;
- Swarthy, pale pink and white skin;
- Refined facial features.
Advice!To determine if cold colors work for you, wear silver earrings over your ears. If they perfectly emphasize the depth of your gaze and the saturation of the iris, then you can safely go to an appointment with a specialist.
And one more thing: do not be afraid to spend a lot of money on the staining procedure. This is a good investment in your own image. The fact is that it is very difficult to save money here, since such experiments should be carried out only by real specialists in their field. It is better for self-taught and beginners to try their luck and fill their hand when processing hair with a warmer gamut.
Advice! To bring harmony to the image, use coloring compositions that are darker or lighter than the natural color by 1-2 tones.
What should fair-haired beauties do?
This palette is considered the most demanded and is incredibly popular. If you do not want to completely say goodbye to the usual way, you can place only light accents on your hair. To do this, it is enough to add gray and silver notes to the paint.
By the way, the most striking example of the owners of a cold blond is the famous Hollywood star Jennifer Aniston. She has not changed this range for a decade, although her colleagues in the shop strive to put extreme experiments on her appearance. Previously, she was of the opinion that the image should be changed often, and radically. But now she has been in the same image for a long time, only sometimes transforming the current state, making a charming balayage, ombre or elusive shatush. Now her hair can be called without exaggeration the hallmark of the actress.
Advice! To complete the look and make it complete and effective, use scarlet lipstick and bright lip glosses.
Note to brunettes
To give dark strands a languid cold shine, it is necessary to carry out a number of manipulations. The most popular trend today is ash brown. It emphasizes the beauty of delicate milky skin and blue eyes especially well. In this case, the length of the hair must necessarily reach the shoulders.
The appetizing palette of chocolate is considered to be warm. But if this paint is mixed with ash, the result will be simply stunning! Designers recommend adding a touch of silver. The only rule: you can entrust the staining procedure only to professionals in their field. They will eliminate reddishness and give the image a natural and natural look. If he observes all the rules, the hair will look like a chameleon, which changes its color depending on the surrounding circumstances. Here, of course, we are talking about the changes that open to the eye when choosing different viewing angles and lighting levels.
The same goes for the fiery strands. If you add drops of black or dark blue to the coloring composition, the haircut will look very interesting and extravagant. When a woman becomes the owner of chestnut curls, she has a natural blush on her cheeks, and her skin becomes velvety. Pimples and inflammations become less noticeable.
Advice! Copper overflows are not combined with light doll dermis, this should be taken into account when choosing a suitable range. The sharp color transition and contrast will visually age you and make you look painful and tired.
Home treatments
As mentioned earlier, only a person with the necessary skills and experience can perform such manipulations. But if you want to save money on visits to a beauty salon, read this section carefully. Perhaps you will find in it all the necessary information about what rules should be followed when self-staining.
- When choosing a shade, consider your own appearance and color type. Cold tones go well with porcelain skin, which is difficult for tanning, and after prolonged exposure to the sun, redness and irritation appear.
- Swarthy ladies should pay attention to warmer colors.
- It should be noted right away: you should not go to the nearest supermarket to buy paint. Really high-quality professional formulations are sold only in specialized stores. In addition, highly qualified consultants work there who will always help with advice and focus your attention on the right direction.
- Buy products with added caring ingredients.
- If you want to make your hairstyle more original and extravagant, use the gradient technique. Leave the root zone alone, let this area remain unchanged.
Unpleasant consequences of home lightening
In conclusion, I would like to talk about what consequences await girls with independent procedures and how to get rid of them, if this happens. It will be about yellowness, with which, probably, all "natural" blondes, without exception, have encountered.
If you are a brunette before your transformation, your path to becoming a blonde beast will be long and thorny. At least three or four stages await you. In order to avoid problems, it is better to contact an experienced colorist, and therefore already independently correct the color of the regrown roots.
The main negative circumstance is the fact that in the process of manipulation aggressive mixtures with alkali or ammonia are used. Of course, even after the first step towards changing the image, the hair becomes brittle and lifeless. To prevent this from happening, experts recommend a smooth transition to ash and platinum blondes. To do this, now you can use such popular techniques as bronding and shatush.
After your visit to the beauty salon, go to your nearest store and buy a special series of caring products for dyed and bleached curls. Their use will help get rid of the hated yellowness as soon as possible.
And one more caveat: some hairdressers advise fashionistas to hide the color of chicken under tonics and tint shampoos. Never stick to this recommendation if you plan to continue experimenting with your own appearance in the future. Professional paints do not coexist well with similar products and fall unevenly on the curls.
