A lady with blond hair rarely goes unnoticed by men, especially if her hairstyle, in addition to a beautiful shade, has a dense, healthy glow. Natural blonde is rare, but a huge number of women dye their hair in honey, strawberry, ashy shades, wanting to join the ranks of blondes.
For a long time, mankind has known two tones of "blonde" - poisonous yellow and platinum. Now a variety of dyes and dyeing methods allow you to combine from 2 to 7 shades on one hairstyle and make individual tinting of strands. How to choose the right shade to become a blonde?
Color features
No other shade will make the image as fragile and attractive as a blond. However, if a woman is not the owner of strands of the color of baked milk by nature, then they will have to be dyed. This has its advantages and disadvantages.
There are quite a few advantages.
- Visual rejuvenation. Light shades of hair distract attention from imperfections in the skin on the face.
- There are a lot of color options, as well as manufacturers. The probability that there is no shade of its own is zero.
- Light shades gray hair hides much more effectively than dark and red tones of paint.
- It is not necessary to radically lighten hairif there is no certainty that it will be to face. You can start with a strand in the face, “ombre” - stretch the color from dark to light or lighten a couple of tones.
- Depending on the color type and skin tone it is possible to color locks both in cold shades, and in warm.Recently appeared "strawberry", "caramel" and "lilac" tones of the blonde will make the image more bold.
- Using multiple shades of blond in one haircut visually increases the volume, and the head of hair looks more dense and magnificent.
Staining does not do without minuses. The most basic is the negative effect of coloring brightening substances on the hair and its structure. Brighteners containing ammonia harm the curls, making them colorless and dry, and, as a result, brittle and dull. If you constantly lighten your hair using ammonia-containing dyes, the hair will suffer very much and will look like a washcloth.
Warm and cold shades
Each cosmetic company that produces hair dyes has its own names for tones. The general division is as follows: warm and cold scales. How to understand which palette the selected shade belongs to? There is a hint: colors that belong to a warm range are most often indicated by the words: honey, strawberry or sand blonde, as well as all shades of gold. As for cold tones, these are usually platinum, silver, ashes, beige and similar names.
Shades of both scales can both decorate a lady and ruin her appearanceif they are not in harmony with the skin, eyes and the selected image. Therefore, before starting to dye your hair, you can "try on" the tone you like on a computer program or in the application on your phone, and see if it works. You can also consult a color typing specialist or your colorist master to choose the right shade.
What do dark tones look like?
Dark blondes are not at all absurd, but the category of young ladies with blond hair of slightly more saturated shades. For example, blond is nothing but a dark blond. It can be both cold and warm, but the first is still more common. Light brown is an ideal option in order to understand whether you want to be blonde and lighten hair further, or if brighter colors are to your liking.
Warm dark blondes include ladies who dye their hair in honey tones. As a rule, such strands are located on the border with red, but have a less saturated color. The same statement is also true for sand blondes, often at the roots their curls are tinted more densely and differ in color from the tips.
California dyeing with the effect of sunburned hair is extremely popular precisely for its naturalness. Despite the fact that the roots in this staining are dark (due to this, the hair does not look “pure” blond), care for tinted strands should be more thorough than for monotonously lightened curls. Growing, the roots lose a neat transition, “stretching” from darker to light, and the California dye turns into untidy dyed hair.
A dark blond of a light coffee hue is one of the most natural colors in the palette. It can be either warm - with the departure of a cappuccino tone and even chocolate, and cold blond. Another way to stain is a “dirty” blond. Despite such an unattractive name, in essence it is ashen or ashy-blond hair, complemented by lighter strands. The effect of faded curls looks great both on a short haircut, and on a half-long or long.
The choice of shade according to skin tone
Choosing a color for your curls, you need to be guided not only by desire, but also by your own color type. Depending on whether the woman is “winter” or “spring”, hair should be dyed in certain tones. So, in the “fall” with a warm skin tone and freckles shades of bronze and copper are suitable, it is undesirable to fully lighten the hair. Also, honey strands will look good, moreover, any of the subspecies of “honeyiness”. It can be honey-brown, honey-chestnut or even honey-red curls.
No less interesting are the tones of the so-called Venetian blond, with a reddish tint. Still such colors are called Titian, since it was Titian who used a similar paint in his paintings. Beauties with porcelain skin are suitable for cold tones: platinum or silver. Ash shades will also look no less impressive on them, highlighting the skin.
Platinum blonde is allowed to wear only fair-skinned young ladies with regular features. And it is better if their original hair color is not darker than blond. Platinum is one of the most difficult to obtain and care shades, and the darker the hair is supposed to be dyed into it, the less predictable the result. Platinum tone does not even suggest a hint of yellowness, so it is better for red-haired girls or brunettes to choose a different color.
As for the pearl blonde so fashionable nowadays, it can be made both warm and cold by choosing the appropriate subton: ash or gold. A feature of pearl tinting is that it softens facial features, highlighting them, and has a visual anti-aging effect.
Very similar in impression to the pearl pearl blond. He also visually “throws off” several years, slightly “photoshopping” the skin due to the peculiar glow that appears in hair tinted in this way. Mother of pearl does not contain yellow pigment at all, it looks very noble and, importantly, creates the illusion of hair volume and its considerable density.
Beige blonde is ideal for girls with the summer color, it softens the image and makes it sophisticated, refined. However, if you choose beige, you should be prepared for a constant struggle with yellowness, which often strives to appear on shaded strands. This is not only a systematic dyeing, but also a whole hair care system, consisting of the use of a special shampoo against yellowness, balm, mask and the appropriate serum. As in any other case, it is better to use the series for care from one manufacturer.
Sand curls just have a yellow tint, while they can vary both in the cold range and in the warm one. It depends on which strands are more ashen or golden. This makes sandy blond universal, suitable for all color types, without exception. However, having dyed your hair in “sand”, you should not get carried away with bright makeup, otherwise there is a risk of falling into vulgarity.
Blond strands of the color of wheat - the subject of hunting for many fashionistas, and the one who calls this tone unpretentious is wrong. There is nothing simple in it, on the contrary, wheat ringlets look really natural and this is much more valuable, especially on young ladies with fair skin and gray, blue or gray-blue eyes.
Strawberry blondes are a relatively new word in hair coloring and toningHowever, in a short period of time, "strawberry" has gained wildly popularity among girls seeking to be "in trend" and "on style." As the name suggests, a strawberry blond has a pinkish tint (and in some cases frankly pink). For business ladies, striving for rigor in everything, such a bold coloring is unlikely to be to their liking, but young experimenters who love everything that is trendy and unbanal will be delighted. As for the color type, then most of all, “strawberries” are suitable for “spring”.
But the representatives of cold color types (“summer” and “winter”) should not be upset: they, too, can wear a blond with a pink undertones. However, this will not be “strawberries”, but rose quartz on an ashen background. It looks no less dignified and spectacular. Many Hollywood stars have already managed to appreciate it. Rose quartz is especially suitable for girls with dark eyes and fair skin.
How to choose eye color?
Having decided on the shade of the blonde, which will advantageously shade the skin, you should also think that it harmonizes with the color of the eyes, making them brighter and more noticeable.Brown-eyed girls go both the dark shades of the blonde, and honey, golden or beige. Any of them will make the eye color deeper and more saturated.
Light-eyed ladies with the appropriate skin tone will go platinum. Caramel blond can also make your eyes shine. Venetian and honey-red shades are what are ideal for green-eyed charmers.
However, pearl or pearl blond will make them real angels, highlighting the brightness of emerald eyes. Strawberry blond is also suitable for the green color of the eyes, however, here you should be careful with the saturation of pink.
When choosing a shade, it is necessary to take into account not only the color of the skin, eyes, but also the image itself - and the one that is, and the one that you want to get. Do you plan to brighten up or, on the contrary, support the image of "nature"? Have a desire to cut your hair or grow it? Is the girl ready to spend time (and finances) on constant care for painted strands? How will she dress? Before you sit in a chair with a hair dye master, you need to answer these questions in order to imagine the result that awaits after visiting a beauty salon.
