In this case, it is worth choosing an ash, coffee, silver shade. For girls with darker skin and brown eyes, golden, amber shades are suitable.
• The color composition is also affected by the color depth. If you need to give brightness to a faded shade, then you should choose a palette that is close to the original color of the curls, choosing a tool with an intense degree of staining. Such paints will allow you to save the pigment on the hair for up to two months. For a cardinal color change, but for a short time, it is worth choosing a paint of a light degree of intensity. It is washed off already for 2-3 days.
