How do you know if your hair color is right for you?
Before you decide to stain with a permanent permanent dye, evaluate your color type. Often girls see beautiful light brown hair in the photo and, without hesitation, acquire paint for use at home. With such a frivolous attitude, the resultoften deplorable.
The fact is that when choosing a hair dye for dark blond shades, one must take into account skin tone, eye color, the presence or absence of freckles, tan. All these nuances, seemingly insignificant, create a single image. And if the shade of the chosen hair color does not harmonize with the color of the eyes or skin tone, then the overall appearance may turn out to be painful, disharmonious.
Selection of shade based on color type
In coloring, there is the simplest and already classic way of typing appearance according to the seasons. Depending on the color type of a person, it can be concluded whether brown-blond hair color will suit the face.
- Autumn color type: olive skin, freckles, tendency to age spots, brown or warm green eyes. Blonde brown-copper hair color is the perfect choice for girls with a warm autumn color type. They also feel free to experiment with copper shades of any level of tone depth.
- Winter color type. White porcelain skin, black or cold blue eyes. The skin is not prone to tanning and tends to burn very quickly. Girls of the winter color type are contraindicated in warm shades of hair: they make them look sickly and tired. You should experiment with cold shades of light brown hair. Also, dark blond ash or red tone is ideal for them.
- Spring color type is characterized by warm shades. By nature, the hair of such people is with a light redhead or gold. Eye color - gray, green, blue. The skin tans easily, appearfreckles. Such girls face copper and golden shades of light brown, you can also opt for light blond brown, ash. Light brown shades should be chosen soft. For example, red or rich brown "spring" girls will not work.
- Summer color type refers to contrasting and cold. People of the summer color type have gray eyes, white porcelain skin, which is difficult to tan. Ash coloring on light brown hair ideally complements this appearance. This is a pearl cold blond, ashy tones at the ninth level of tone depth. But copper, golden, brown warm shades are contraindicated for girls of the summer color type.
When is pre-clarification required?
Some dyeing techniques for light brown hair involve pre-lightening the entire canvas or separately selected strands (highlighting, balayage, ombre). Often girls refuse coloring, having learned about the need for preliminary clarification. And they can be understood: the lightening procedure leads to injury to the hair structure. The ends become dry, begin to exfoliate. However, if the hair color is naturally dark, then it is impossible to achieve a beautiful light brown shade without pre-lightening.
If you still decide to achieve a beautiful light shade and do not mind discoloration, then think about choosing professional hair care products in advance. To maintain the he alth of the tips, maintain a beautiful shade and shine of the hair, you will have to constantlyuse restorative masks, concentrates, balms.
How to choose the right dye?
Seeing dozens of dyes on the shelves of the store, customers are tormented by doubts. What dye to choose? Well, the abundance of modern dyes can be divided into two large groups.
- Permanent permanent dyes provide long-term results. Hair after dyeing with such paint shines and looks completely he althy. Persistence is the main advantage of permanent dyes. But the composition includes ammonia, which in the long term negatively affects the condition of the hair. If you regularly dye your hair with ammonia resistant dye, then after six months or a year they begin to break in length, split. This can be avoided by using quality skin care products regularly.
- Ammonia-free dyes are more expensive than ammonia ones. Ammonia-free dye does not damage hair. As a rule, the composition of such dyes includes keratin, caring oils, and plant extracts. Hair not only does not deteriorate, but also heals as a result of such staining. But durability leaves much to be desired. Since ammonia is not included in the composition, the color is washed out quite quickly - this is a feature of hair dye. Dark blonde is no exception.
Which dye to choose, it's up to you. Each product has its pros and cons. Even the most expensive hair dye can thin your hair and cause it to fall out. You can not exclude the factor of individuality when choosing a dye. If the hair is in poor condition and falls out, then it is bettercompletely abandon staining and treat the scalp.
