How to choose a shade of hair for brunettes?

Nowadays, it's easy enough to change your own appearance. However, hair color is a factor that can completely change the first impression of a person. Thanks to this, you can both create a bright, unique image, and completely lose yourself and merge with the crowd. To prevent this from happening, you need to know some rules and tips recommended by stylists.

In order not to be mistaken with the choice of image and choose a color that will change life for the better, you need to know your character. The definition of “brunette” includes not only a burning charcoal color, but shades from black to chestnut also apply here:

• crow (black, casting a barely noticeable blue);
• the black;
• bitter (or black) chocolate (aka dark chocolate);
• dark coffee
• dark blond;
• chestnut;
• milk chocolate.

Hence the separation of all brunettes into two types - warm and cold, which belongs to not only the shade of the hair, but also the color of the skin and pigment of the eyes.

Warm types include owners of brown, chocolate or light brown hair with a golden and reddish tint. Brown eyes (less often - dark green, dark gray), dark or even olive skin color. Freckles are sometimes present (for example, Esmeralda and Pocahontas from Disney cartoons).

Such girls are suitable for golden or reddish, fiery shades, for example, you can ask the master to lighten some strands a little to get a copper shade or a warm caramel color. It is worthwhile to be careful about too defiant yellow colors or the usual blond - few people color with a combination of dark skin and yellow hair. To facilitate the search, remember the numbers 3, 4, 7, as well as the letters R, K, W.

This image has been popular since the era of romanticism, as it is built on contrasts: hair, deep dark color and light, porcelain skin. Eyes of light tones - from transparent blue to the color of fresh spring grass (Mulan or Snow White from the same Disney studio). A rather gothic look, so if you do not want to enhance your gloom, then you should not choose saturated black shades, as there is a risk of becoming a beautiful, but absolutely inanimate doll. Very beautiful cold platinum and ash tones are also suitable for fair-skinned beauties, but it is worth remembering that such a combination can make the owner look older by several years.

To simplify the search, manufacturers often mark such coloring agents with either the numbers 1 and 6, or with the letters C, F, V, PL. Or you can use tonics or tint shampoos for coloring - such a layout allows you to change yourself a little, without the help of a master. And if the color doesn’t like it, then it will come off in a couple of weeks.

The best option for carriers of both cold and warm type is to change their native color to a couple of shades. This will preserve naturalness and hair will suffer much less than with prolonged dyeing in a completely opposite color. It will take much less time to care for hair dyed in a color close to native and regrown roots will not become a noticeable problem.

Another way to choose the appropriate staining option is to correlate the planned color result with the shade of your eyes. This will create a harmonious design for the skin and, with proper selection, the beauty and richness of the pigment of the iris of the eye will be revealed. Owners of dark eye pigment (black, dark brown) are recommended to stay on the paint that is as close as possible to their native color scheme - dark chocolate, dark brown, dark chestnut. These are the basic shades, but there are many subtones between them, so that everyone can choose something suitable, the main thing is to focus on the three main shades.

Colors that visually muffle the brightness of dark eyes (not recommended):

• rich wine (burgundy);
• shades of ashen;
• eggplant (and similar shades of purple);
• nordic blond;
• blond saturated yellow hue.

These color schemes tend to reduce the brightness of the eyes, but emphasize the color of the skin, which may look somewhat unnatural. The maximum light color allowed for dark-eyed girls is light blond, with highlighting and incomplete dyeing of hair - sand.

Bright-eyed beauties are very saturated colors, right down to black and dark chestnut. This will give the look depth and expressiveness. Suitable colors include colors that are not recommended for girls with dark eyes - all shades of wine, ash and purple.The principle of contrast will work - dark or bright hair will set off bright eyes well. Shades of ashen can give the look a cold, but it will be a very emotionally saturated coldness that will remain in people's memory for a long time and will not allow it to mix with a crowd of identical people.

If you choose a tone in accordance with the skin tone, you can get an incredibly harmonious, delicate, but at the same time bright and memorable image. It has its own characteristics and rules that you need to know.

For girls with dark skin, the whole dark range from black to milk chocolate is suitable. This will emphasize the line of the cheekbones and the shape of the eyebrows, as well as add mystery. It is worth fearing too light, cold shades: such colors very rarely go to bronze-skinned beauties, and if you are not one of them, you will get a too clumsy appearance.

Owners of light skin tones - yellowish or pinkish-peach - will suit reddish, copper, golden and honey tones. Colors will resonate with each other, creating a gentle, but incredibly vibrant image. Non-shouting colors should be chosen, otherwise there is a risk of simply getting lost on the background of the hair. It is possible to use a chocolate palette, in which case the use of saturated colors is welcome.

For cool skin - porcelain, pale or simply light - you should choose a color scheme from light brown to sand. The main thing is not to go pure white! If you want something light and cold, you can choose shades of platinum blond, light golden colors, or choose the option of staining salt with pepper. To muffle the image a little, you should choose the amber color or the color of liquid caramel. This will result in a warmer combination, which has its own highlight. One of the brightest options for pale skin is monochrome burgundy staining. But this option is not suitable for everyone.

Thanks to modern technologies and discoveries in the field of beauty industry, women are available not only the usual monochrome coloring, but also many variations that combine different colors and even color schemes.

Dyeing in two colors:

• Venice highlighting implies the use of two to four shades. The result is a smooth transition from one color to another and easy highlighting of the strands through the use of lighter shades. This type of staining makes the wearer much younger.

• Creative highlighting It is performed in only two colors, but a bright color scheme is selected for coloring, attracting attention. One of the most common options is the ends of hair painted in bright colors. But the most attractive method of use for this highlighting is a smooth transition from one color to another. Salt and pepper are a type of creative highlighting.

• Ombre - an option that is increasingly gaining popularity. It has two varieties: in the first they lighten the ends of the hair, leaving the roots natural, and in the second they make a stretch from light roots to more saturated and dark ends.

• Balayazh - This is a smooth transition from one color to another using stretch marks. It looks very natural and soft on the hair. If the ombre transitions from top to bottom, then balayazh allows staining of individual parts of individual strands along the entire length of the hair.

• Bronzing - gives the effect of individual strands burnt out in the sun. For coloring, two or three shades are used. It is recommended to choose the tones closest to the natural color of the hair.It is very natural to look at bronding with a red tint, but only if your type is warm and the hair has its own reddish tint.

• Babyights - Suitable for those who do not want to lose their natural hair color, but want at least minimal changes. With this method of staining, paint is applied to individual strands and hair near the face. Most often this is lightening, so you get the image of a traveler whose head burned out under the scorching sun.

• Monochrome coloring - hair coloring along the entire length in one tone. It looks especially good on girls with fair skin, creating a kind of frame. It is monochrome staining that emphasizes the natural expression of the eyes like no other.

Hair length matters only when bronding - on long hair, this method of dyeing will look most advantageous. Short hair is also suitable for other dyeing options - a competent master will embody any desired technique on a hairstyle below the shoulders. But still, avoid the flashy, acidic palette on long hair - it will look a little defiant. Yes, if you wish, you can afford bright colors like blue, pink and others, but the emphasis is better on soft, slightly dusty shades, and not on full color saturation. Such catchy tones will look much better on short hair. All this applies only to monochrome dyeing, when highlighting any color scale is acceptable regardless of the length of the hair.

If you are by nature a burning brunette, but want to change into blond or other light colors, then pay attention to your type and remember that such a coloring will be quite aggressive and can cause significant damage to hair. We recommend that you pay attention to the types of highlighting described above - this will cause much less damage and will look more natural.

Despite the fact that monochrome coloring and some others do not seem particularly difficult, it is highly recommended to find a salon with an experienced colorist. Only there they will help you choose the color, correctly carry out the staining procedure and talk about the care of color and hair.
