Light brown shades of strands in recent years have reached the peak of maximum popularity. It is the light brown gamut that meets the fashion trends of the current season - naturalness, comfort, restrained elegance. The light brown palette is extremely diverse and quite soft, so it fits perfectly into any image and style. The most important thing is to choose the right shade and coloring technology.
Features
Natural light brown color is definitely in trend this season, but you can not be afraid that it will go out of fashion, as the classics are not subject to capricious changes in fashion trends. Moreover, to give a fashionable accent to the light brown background is quite simple.
If the shade is chosen correctly, there are practically no shortcomings in this gamut, but there are a lot of advantages:
- color is relevant for any age, has no restrictions on status and style;
- it is possible to choose a tone from light to dark shade;
- there are many variations of both cold and warm tones;
- a wide range of coloring agents in the lines of different brands, there is a choice in any price segment;
- the haircut format is absolutely irrelevant;
- practicality and versatility;
- Ideal background for gradient and other complex coloring.
The only, not even a drawback, but rather, difficulty is the need to lighten the strands if the original color is darker than the selected shade. A light blond tone without discoloration practically does not go well, as it is very moody. In addition, it will require more careful care, otherwise it will very soon lose its external gloss. It is much easier to achieve medium and dark shades of light brown.Medium blond is not a bright enough tone, but with a predominance of gray pigment, so it goes exclusively to people with expressive facial features.
Therefore, the most popular shades are light and dark.
Who is it for?
Before choosing a light brown hair dye, you should determine your color type and choose the appropriate tonality: dark or light. Even if your natural color is light brown, it is often necessary to shade it with an advantageous tone, otherwise the image looks somewhat boring. Very often this gamut comes after lightening strands.
Light brown paint can be with notes of ash, gold, cool and warm - therefore, first of all, determine your color type and exclude the range that is opposite in temperature.
If you have blue or green eyes, you can choose any shade in the light pale brown. Saturated shades are especially suitable for owners of healthy skin in a warm tone. The “winter” color type is best chosen among tones with gray pigment.
A rich light brown palette allows you to choose a tone for any color type, while it has no restrictions on age and style. This gamut will look equally luxurious both for a mature business woman and a young student. Will organically fit into both a strict business and a casual casual style.
Choosing a paint, stylists also recommend focusing on trusted brands and studying reviews.
Shade selection
The widest palette of cream paints and tinting agents in this color category allows you to choose the right shade for almost any type. We offer to analyze the most popular tones.
Light brown
It is very popular. Especially simple to achieve this tone will be the owners of light strands. This tone is quite multifaceted, it literally sparkles in the sun and changes hue depending on the lighting. Wheat can smoothly turn into bronze, cold coffee, or bright and warm amber-blond, beige.
Copper brown
This color is rarely obtained with a single stain; more often, additional tinting is required. This is due to the fact that the mixture of cold gamma and warm copper is not found in nature. This shade is especially suitable for those who love bold decisions, bright shades and expressive images. If you have light eyes and skin with a scattering of freckles, this is definitely your choice. Copper tone is perfectly combined in complex painting options with caramel-blond.
Light blond
Ideal for cold color types, light eyes and skin tones, especially since you will be extremely easy to achieve it, no aggressive painting methods will be needed. If the natural shade is darker, lightening will be required, but the radiance and luxurious tint are worth such sacrifices.
You can safely try partial stains in such a tone, for example, highlighting.
Golden brown
This is a very popular shade, equally expressively emphasizing both dark and light eyes. The color of the skin here is not critical, we can say that gold is a rather universal tone. It looks very natural, especially if such a method of coloring is chosen, as a result of which the strands seem to burn out in the sun. Golden blond at the same time soft and restrained, but also bright, expressive.
Cold ash and pearl blond
This is one of the most popular dyeing options this year and last year, since it is the mother-of-pearl shades of pearls and ashes that have become the main trend in hairdressing. This shade, however, is one of the most capricious, as it has a lot of gray pigment and it goes to few people. If you have light eyes, smooth skin without flaws - be sure to try this tone. Age ladies should be careful with him, as he visually adds years and exposes skin defects for show. Moreover, ashes, unlike gold, do not look natural, although in recent years, natural gray hair has become increasingly popular.
Medium blond
It can be warm and cool, can combine shades of different temperatures, for example, light brown and gold. Despite this, it’s quite capricious, it can “kill” not too bright appearance, therefore it is better to entrust the choice of this shade to a professional.
It is an ideal backdrop for multi-color complex stains.
Dark light brown and chocolate brown
Perhaps the most expressive and rich shade, in addition, it is capricious and universal, suitable for almost any color of eyes and skin. The best option for initially dark strands, allowing you to refresh the image without drastic changes.
Staining technology
Self-painting requires a preliminary analysis and study of the technology in order to get a shade without yellowness, without a redhead and without green impregnation. It is especially necessary to carefully treat bleached strands. Be sure to consider whether henna pre-pigmentation, lamination, botox, keratin procedures were performed. All of this can affect the result.
Before dyeing the strands in light blond, you should not wash your hair for at least a day or two, do not use care products, such as masks. At least a month should pass after lamination, shielding. At least 60 days should pass from the previous staining, especially if the strands are clarified. Medium and dark shades do not require such care, it’s enough not to wash your hair for a couple of days.
After choosing a paint, carefully study the instructions that come with each product in any price segment. As a rule, mass market products do not require complex manipulations. If you choose a product from professional rulers, you should be careful.
For staining you will need:
- old clothes or a special cloak;
- brightener and pigment;
- brush and mixing bowl, not metal;
- clips and hair clips;
- a cap - as needed.
The algorithm for applying the composition is as follows:
- pre-moisten the strands do not need;
- comb the strands and divide them into 4 parts - two occipital and two upper, fix;
- mix the composition according to the instructions, put on a wrap;
- start staining along partings, starting from the occipital zone;
- after staining the roots, the composition is distributed along the entire length of the strands;
- staining time is indicated in the instructions, it must be observed;
- if the strands are light, 30 minutes is enough, if dark, at least 50;
- After applying the paint, you can put on a hat for warming up.
It should be remembered that it is impossible to get a light tone in one session if the natural pigment is dark. It will take several steps with different time intervals. It is safer to entrust this procedure to a professional. The only minus of salon staining is the cost, since high-quality professional tools and the services of a good master cannot be cheap. However, in the case of complex staining, difficult colors and a dark initial shade, it is still recommended to contact a specialist at least for advice.
In addition to staining with persistent cream paints, alternative methods, for example, tinting agents, can be considered. This is ideal for owners of light or lightened strands. Beautiful tinting can be obtained on medium blond strands. As such dyes, you can use:
- tonic;
- tint balm;
- shampoo with pigment.
The biggest plus of such funds is a gentle effect on the strands, they do not penetrate the hair structure and do not spoil them. The obvious minus also consists in it - tinted means are quickly washed off. In addition, tinted mousses, crayons, varnishes, foams have already appeared in the line of many brands. This is a good option for creating a one-time image, they will be washed off with the first water procedure.
There are natural ways to give strands light brown shades, but they are only suitable for the originally light tone. You can give a beautiful ebb with the help of lemon, honey, kefir, chamomile, rhubarb. Extreme care should be taken with white henna.Despite the innocuous name, its use can be compared with chemically aggressive discoloration.
Care Tips
Since most often, preliminary or simultaneous clarification is used to create light brown shades, care for painted strands requires very careful. Especially if you want the color to not be washed very quickly. Ammonia dyes also not very beneficial effect on the hair structure. In order for the shade not to be washed, and the recovery process to be more successful, purchase and use:
- shampoo for colored strands;
- balms and conditioners for weakened hair;
- at least once a week it is necessary to make a mask.
Masks for folk recipes and salon restorative procedures also cope well with the effects of staining.
Experts recommend paying special attention to cold shades: ashes, pearls and others. All paints containing gray pigment lose their spectacular appearance faster than warm colors. Therefore, you will have to additionally muffle the yellow tone with special tinting agents with purple or blue tones. If the strands had to be lightened, carefully monitor the condition of the tips, which can dry out and look unhealthy. Timely update the haircut, cut the ends.
If medium and dark shades are chosen, care can be limited to sufficient hydration and nutrition, that is, the use of special shampoos and masks.
