Most modern women constantly dye their hair, achieving the coveted shade. Many are in pursuit of natural colors that will look most harmonious with their color types. But the brightest and most extraordinary personalities are not afraid and choose bolder colors. We have blue hair dye on the agenda. Who will suit the color, what shades does it have, how will it fit into this or that image?
Extreme Coloring
It was previously believed that bright and unnatural hair color is a sign of the teenage stage of development. Only representatives of informal associations could afford such a defiant image that literally shouted: "I'm not like all of you." But today the line that divided the world into "civilians" and "informals" has been erased. Many trends that were created in the punk rock environment conquered the catwalks, and bluehair dye turned out to be one of them. Nowadays, a whole lot of its shades stand out, they are considered from a purely stylistic point of view, they are “adjusted” to the color type, adjusted according to the type of haircut. A girl who wears blue hair, of course, will stand out, but no one will consider her a freak anymore.
Blue palette
Blue color in all its manifestations and varieties is, in fact, light blue. Blue, in turn, is the personification of peace, harmony, magic and mystery. It is often used by psychologists in order to relieve tension, tune in to relaxation, and allow distraction from problems. It performs approximately the same functions as a hair dye. The blue color has some differences - it is a little brighter, lighter, more expressive, but the essence remains the same. The shade is very calm, soft, pleasant. It will look unique on the hair, especially and very bewitching. It is worth comparing this tone with the rest of the extreme palette. Perhaps only lilac and purple shades have such "calm" qualities.
Pros and cons
Like any other hair color, blue has its strengths and weaknesses. After studying them, you can rationally weigh whether you should paint in this shade. Let's start with the positives:
- Style becomes individual and unique.
- Chic selection of shades.
- Makeup will look brighter and more attractive.
- Can be matched to different color types.
Now let's highlight what problems blue hair dye will create for you:
- Permanent further care - nourishing hair, maintaining shade with paints and tonics, protecting them from hot air.
- The result is difficult to predict, especially if you wear makeup at home.
- Not suitable for brunettes, as the blue tint is light.
Toning features
If earlier you often dyed your hair with ordinary dyes, choosing natural shades, then you probably mixed the main pigment with a developer, that is, peroxide. This mix should be applied to the curls and kept for half an hour, maybe more, then washed off. In the case of extreme makeup, which makes it possible to get a blue tint of strands, things are different. Oxygen is not attached to it, it is self-sufficient and is applied to the curls in the form in which it is in the jar. Speaking of jars - blue hair dye will be very similar to a tube of blue gouache. You will have to apply this thick, bright substance to clean, towel-dried hair with a brush, hands (gloved) or a comb - here it is convenient for anyone. Such a pigment is washed off the hair without shampoo after 15-30 minutes.
What is your hair like now?
Like any other shade, blue can ideally "lie down" exclusively on blond or bleached hair. You can’t just buy a jar of paint and apply it to brown or blond strands, expecting thatafter 20 minutes they will become the color of the sea wave. A similar technique will work if you are now a blonde, and your hair has a platinum tint, without golden and copper impurities. In all other cases, it is recommended to pre-lighten the hair, then neutralize the yellowness with a purple tonic, and only after proceeding to apply blue dye.
Another important point is hair treatment. If you have severely damaged them during bleaching, then restore them before applying pigment to them. Otherwise, the result of staining may not be what you expect to see.
