Thanks to the “Arctic” coloring, the image acquires tenderness and romance. This type of blond belongs to the cold gamut. Girls with white skin will look particularly sophisticated. Arctic blond comes in platinum or ashen.
Features
This shade of blonde combines icy notes and pearl tones with ashy, because of its "coldness" is not suitable for every woman. The most spectacular “Arctic” looks on a contrasting winter color type. “Winter” includes women with light-skinned china, with bright blue or dark brown eyes. The boldest shades of the blonde are good for them, including arctic, platinum, ashen, as well as pearls. It is this category of the fair sex that is not "lost" in the cold blonde.
Warm color types (this includes “autumn” and “spring”) are better to choose honey, strawberry, wheat shades when dyeing hair.
It is they who favorably emphasize the warmth of their skin tone, the peculiar glow that comes from it.
As for the "summer", which is also a cold color type, the icy "Arctic" can make it colorless. For “summer” women, ash tones, “iced coffee”, sandy, “dirty” blond are better suited.
How to get the right tone?
The biggest drawback of this color is that it is very difficult to obtain it yourself. therefore it is highly discouraged to experiment at home, especially if the natural tone of your hair is not blond. For colored strands, most likely, you will need to do a wash. As for dark natural hair, preliminary clarification is necessary.
Independent experiments can lead to the fact that the desired cold shade does not work, and yellowness appears on the strands, which will be very difficult to bring out. The right solution would be to dye your hair with a professional colorist, preferably one that specializes in cold blond.
Of course, such staining is optimal for healthy hair. Lightening, even performed using the most harmless means, makes the hair porous, dry, brittle.
Therefore, if the strands are initially damaged, it is better to treat them a little first, and then proceed to staining.
If the hair is porous, burnt, damaged by bleaching or dyeing with highly pigmented dyes (such as henna), then to get a beautiful blonde, it is better to cut off the unhealthy part of the hair. Not a single (even the most professional) colorist will create the illusion of healthy hair where there is none. Since defects are more visible on fair hair, it is better to take care of their health, and only then achieve the desired shade.
The subtleties of care
If you succeed, you become an Arctic blonde, the next step will be the care of acquired strands.
Care must be taken of them carefully, otherwise the hair will turn yellow.
It is impossible to get rid of it - you just need to repaint your hair, and this is additional stress.
Caring for hair with the effect of "Arctic blond" includes a number of important rules.
- Wash with a specialized anti-yellowness shampoo once a week. It has a purple or blue undertone. The rest of the time you need to use funds for colored hair.
- Using an air conditioner and mask with a purple undertone.
- After you wash off all hair products (shampoo, balm, mask), rinse your head with water at room temperature. Thus, the scales are closed, the strands gain additional shine.
- Do not use homemade recipes - only professional hairdressers.
- Use of one line for care: shampoo, balm, mask, serum. It is advisable to consult the colorist who produced the staining.
- Extremely carefully, you need to use products that contain oils and herbs. To nourish the ends of the hair and preserve the overall healthy appearance of the hair, those oil products that are designed specifically for blondes are suitable.
- If you are visiting the pool, protect your hair with a cap to prevent the ingress of moisture. When interacting with chlorinated water, strands from arctic white can turn green. In the first week after staining, it is advisable to refrain from visiting the pool at all.
- If you regularly dry your hair with a hairdryer or pull it out with an iron, get used to using thermal protection, otherwise you risk drying out the strands. And this will instantly make a washcloth out of your mane.
- To prevent strands from yellowing under the bright sun, be sure to wear hats or caps that cover them. A spectacular detail of the image can be an originally tied silk scarf.
Subject to these recommendations pigment leaching will be much slower, and a yellow subton will not appear.
It must be remembered that white-clarified hair is very fragile, easily react to external influences and lose its spectacular appearance.
Style and wardrobe
Such a color as an Arctic blond obliges its owner to ensure that she carefully selects things in her wardrobe.
Prefer clean cold tones:
- pink (from dusty roses to fuchsia);
- steel;
- wine;
- snow-white;
- all blue-blue gamma (to indigo and teela);
- black (best to use at a minimum).
This spectacular shade also requires an appropriate haircut with carefully crafted ends, possibly a sharp asymmetric cut.
Bangs will add intrigue to the hair: both straight and oblique. She, of course, needs to be selected based on the type of face.
As for makeup, it must be in order to make facial features noticeable. This does not mean that for every day you need to choose a "combat color." On the contrary, natural, nude makeup will look much better, which unobtrusively emphasizes the expressiveness of the eyes, cheekbones, and eyebrow line. Try to shade the funds as best as possible, creating a smooth transition.
Regarding evening makeup, focus on Hollywood 1930s. Scarlet lipstick, “cold wave” and flawless arrows on the eyelids will create the desired image of a movie diva.
