Colored hair: fashion trends and methods of dyeing

More and more often you can meet girls with unusual shades of hair on the street, since colored locks are one of the fashion trends of our time. And she offers a huge selection of bright colors for ladies, each of which looks special on curls. But not all ladies know exactly which tone from the color palette to choose, how to color your hair correctly, whether it is possible to combine shades with each other, how to properly care for to keep the color longer. All these and other nuances will be discussed in detail in this article.

Color staining can be embodied in almost all colors of the rainbow. However, modern fashion trends are only some shades that look really beautiful on the hair.

The blue tone is presented in four basic shades., for a harmonious image with each of which certain appearance features are necessary. A light blue tone on the hair is suitable for girls with fair skin and blue eyes.

The gray shimmer option will adorn women with an expressive eyebrow line and a dark iris.

If we are talking about saturated blue-blue, then brown-eyed ladies with a warm skin tone are best suited for this color. You can also make the transition from dark blue to light blue, if the length of the strands allows it.

Saturated blue or even indigo color looks good on ladies whose natural hair color is light brown.However, its dark shades, as well as black curls are extremely difficult to stain, therefore, without preliminary lightening, a green tone can result.

Violet tones definitely catch the eye, give the image of mystery and originality. This shade will be ideal for ladies who are representatives of a cold color type.

For the rest, it is better to pay attention to ombre-style coloring - the transition of the dark upper part of the head to purple tips.

A more specific shade is determined by the natural tone of the hair. For blondes or light blonde ladies, lavender tones are suitable, while brunettes and dark blond girls are better off sticking to a rich purple color that gives hair more volume.

At the peak of fashion, there are also shades of pink, which give the image of a lady sexuality, romance and tenderness. This option is best for natural blondes who do not even need to lighten their curls before staining.

If you have a cold color type, then saturated pink colors will look better on you, while on a warmer color type harmoniously embodied muted and soft shades, such as, for example, smoky pink. A plus of any pink tones is their independence from the original hair length, since they can look great both on long hair and on short haircuts.

A win-win fashion option for color staining for women of all ages will be red. The hair in such an embodiment can be close both to the burgundy shade, which is important for a warm color type, and to smoky red, which will be appreciated by “cold” young ladies.

It is worthwhile to separately consider such a tendency of color staining as a two-color ensemble, which looks very eccentric. In this case, half of the hair is painted in one color, and the second part in another.

Please note that the complexion and skin in general, as well as eye color, play an important role in choosing the shade of curls. The most expressive look is the image in which colored hair contrasts strongly with the skin tone. If you want a more harmonious option, then make sure that the tones of hair, skin and eyes are combined.

Before deciding on such an experiment, it is also worth remembering such a nuance as your profession. If you work in an office where there is a dress code, in law enforcement or in the educational field, you should refrain from wearing colored hair. If you are a representative of a more creative profession, work for yourself or are not attached to a specific activity, then bold tones will not interfere with you.

It is also worth paying attention to the age criterion. Saturated shades such as purple or red are unlikely to suit mature women. On the contrary, they can add age. Non-standard colors in this case are possible, but in a more pastel color scheme. Young girls can experiment with the entire color palette.

It is worthwhile to refrain from color dyeing for those whose hair is already experiencing a lack of health, because lightening, accompanying the application of a bright color, can finally worsen the condition of hair.Therefore, take the time to restore procedures before deciding on this type of painting.

To choose the right bright color for hair, important nuances should be considered.

• Stop the choice of shades, because of which there will be no problems with the selection of clothes and accessories. Pastel options, for example light pink, peach, mint, are best suited. However, if you expect to radically change the whole image, then you can decide on more bold tones.
• Decide if it is worth dyeing all the hair or just part of it. Perhaps the option with a gradual transition from dark roots to colored strands, such as scarlet or purple, will also seem interesting to you.
• If you want to combine different colors in your dyeing, you should make sure that these shades are in harmony with each other. An unusual variant of the color combination on the hair will be a rainbow transition, which will definitely not leave you without the attention of others. However, combining 3-4 bright colors on one head of hair is not recommended.
• Those who are trying this procedure for the first time should consult with a hairdresser in advance about the most gentle ways to transform their hair. This is especially true for those who want to use indelible paint. Also, a hairdresser will help you decide how light it is necessary to make strands before adding color pigment.

• Ombre with multi-colored strands is in demand by both Hollywood stars and ordinary ladies. If you do it based on the natural color of your hair, you can achieve a positive result in the following cases: pink, peach and other warm colors are suitable for light strands; dark-haired girls should choose purple, blue, and also lilac for ombre; ladies with red or brown hair are best suited for red shades, as well as gray curls.

• Similar to the ombre colombra technique differs from the first in its richer result. The lower layer of hair is dyed not in one color, but in a real ensemble of bright colors that harmoniously combine with each other.

• The opposite of this method is option with bright roots. If the main part of the hair remains dyed in a natural or neutral tone, then the root area is painted with intense color.

• The tips, as well as the long hair, can be painted with neon paint. It gives the hair the most vibrant color that is noticeable even in the dark.

• Gradient - a popular way, especially among those ladies who have long hair. It involves the gradual transition of one shade into another. Can be combined from light to dark as tones belonging to the same color, as well as more contrasting options.

The selection of paints for color staining should be treated responsibly, since its quality and elements in the composition also affect the result. You can choose the right tool, following the recommendations of specialists.

• If you need experimental or temporary coloring, it is better to choose not a resistant paint, but a tinting agent. It is washed faster, and within two weeks you can already see your natural hair color. However, if you choose a too cheap remedy, it is likely that the natural pigment will recover longer. Remember that resorting to re-staining is not recommended until the pigment is washed completely.
• Professional color paint may contain additional components, such as vitamins or oils. It is not completely harmless, but ammonia-free options will not do so much damage to your hair. Such paint is usually used in hairdressing salons, but you can also choose it yourself in professional stores.

A chalky device for color staining, like paint, can dry out strands, but the effect will not be so strong. And after the first application, you can easily wash off the chalk with water and shampoo. Also, this option is much less expensive than full color dyeing.

An even simpler way is to attach artificial strands of bright shades to the top of the hair with clips. In this way, you can make single accents on the hair and the ombre effect by attaching the finished strip of curls to the lower part of the back of the head. The nuance that must be taken into account with this method of transformation is the compatibility of the length of artificial curls with the length of natural ones. Thanks to this, the transition between the strands will be less noticeable.

By analogy with crayons, a temporary coloring agent such as mascara acts for hair. With its help, it is easy to highlight individual strands or shade the root zone.
