Honey hair color: popular shades and recommendations for dyeing

From ancient times, honey shades of curls were considered a symbol of beauty, health and greatness. It is believed that the goddess Aphrodite had luxuriant honey-colored hair. You can recall other recognized beauties whose shade of hair made them famous. Talented and professional singers, actresses, models have attracted many fans to their ranks precisely because of the chic hair color. Supermodel from Brazil Cynthia Dicker is an example of how freckles and red hair can be super-sexy.

Remember what color honey is dark, light, saturated, from shiny amber to caramel dull. So honey hair color suggests a palette of shades, because it is suitable for women of different types of appearance, the main thing is to choose your own shade correctly.

With the help of a honey shade, you can revive not only the hairstyle, but also the female image as a whole. This is why psychotherapists often advise their patients to change their hair color.

You can take drastic measures - to make high-grade staining with a chemical professional dye in the cabin. This is the maximum guarantee of a good result: you can count on the fact that the master will select a shade that really suits your type of appearance.But often, to get a honey tint, it’s enough to use henna - a natural plant dye that does not have a chemical effect on the hair.

Basically, the red color of curls and its variations (including honey including) found distribution among residents of the northern countries - Norway, Sweden, Denmark. This color is not so rare for Germans. But honey is suitable not only for ladies from these countries - with a skillful combination of natural color type and the desired shade, it can become a decoration of the appearance of many.

It goes to girls who naturally have hair:

• light brown;
• light blond;
• light chestnut;
• wheat.

If your color type is “spring”, honey is likely to suit you. Green, light gray and light blue eyes go well with it. The skin is peach, beige, slightly dark (all three options are suitable).

Let's look at examples. One of the most important red-haired beauties of the planet - Brazilian Cynthia Dicker. On the face of the supermodel is not just freckles, but a lot of freckles. By nature, Cynthia has light eyebrows, light eyes and a natural red hair color. During her modeling career, she repeatedly changed the shades of red, often resorting to a noble honey. And this is incredibly suitable for the girl: even a modest make-up makes her very bright, any outfit against the background of a shock of honey hair looks advantageous. And without makeup, Cynthia looks much younger than her years.

Another example is Russian actress Vera Sotnikova. The actress for a long time was a brown-haired woman, even a brunette, but for about 15 years Vera prefers red to all other colors in all its diversity. And this is the case when either delicate honey or honey with a fiery undertones are incredibly decorated. Light brown eyes, expressive facial features, a good skin tone - this attracts even more attention to the color of the hair, which visually makes Vera younger.

Or another example - Natalia Podolskaya. Previously, fans went crazy with a bob haircut with the bangs she wore. Now Natalia is 37 years old and she still exploits honey shades of hair, changing tones from time to time. Olive skin, gray-green eyes, a slightly elongated face - if you have the same appearance, and by nature have wheat, golden brown hair, you can follow Natalia’s example and dye the curls in honey color. It is possible that for a very long time you will be faithful to this sunny shade.

There are a lot of honey shades. For example, dark honey is one of the most popular options. It is close to chestnut, but still brighter than the last. This color is suitable for brown-eyed and gray-eyed women with expressive facial features.

Among other shades of the "honey" palette:

• caramel honey - a delicate summer color;

• chocolate-honey - a beautiful color that can visually make hair thicker;

• golden honey - looks most natural;

• honey blonde - suitable for blondes who want to gently go into the category of redheads;

• honey caramel - a warm color looks good on women with short haircuts;

• honey bronze - the color is combined with dark skin and eyes of green tea color;

• cold honey - suitable for women with pale skin and barely noticeable freckles;

• creamy honey is a good option for bob and pixie haircuts.

Consult a specialist to select the appropriate shade. He will choose a tone that will not conflict with your skin tone, facial features, eye color.

It is not difficult to achieve a dark honey color if the native color is your light wheat (or similar tones). But note: on light strands, the chosen shade will become even brighter, even brighter than on the model with the packaging. Therefore, hairdressers recommend taking paint a tone darker to accurately guess with the result.

Women who belong to the winter color type should be careful with honey shades. This is not the best basis for experimenting with a redhead: it is difficult to find the very nuanced shade that is right for you. Only a highly professional specialist can handle this. But even a pro often discourages clients, advises not to “enter” the color scheme, which does not coincide with natural data.

If you are tuned to a light honey tone, be prepared for the fact that it is very moody. It is difficult to achieve, and it is quickly washed off with bleached hair. If you dyed your curls before staining, you can’t do without color-fixing shampoos in the future.

You can achieve a chic honey hue without the help of chemical dyes. There are wonderful folk remedies, the use of which is impressive.

• Chamomile. To get a light golden hue on the hair, you need to take 4 tablespoons of chamomile inflorescences, pour 1 liter of boiled water, boil for 7 minutes in a water bath. Then the broth has to be filtered. A decoction is applied to the previously washed head for about an hour, maybe a little less. Rinse it off with rinsing (no shampoo needed).

• Linden flowers. Typically, this recipe is used by women with dark brown hair who want to add a golden touch to the natural color. Three tablespoons of linden inflorescences need to be poured with 300 ml of boiled water, boil for 18-20 minutes, strain and, of course, cool. With this mixture, you need to treat all the hair, leave the composition on curls for 40 minutes, then rinse without shampoo.

• Henna. To get a honey shade on light brown, ashen, brown hair, you can take ordinary henna. Mix 3 parts henna powder with 1 part turmeric powder, dilute with water. Apply the mixture to your hair for an hour. Rinse the henna with warm water using an alkaline-free shampoo.

If a lady has short hair, she often comes to the conclusion that dyeing them at home will be cheaper and easier. In some cases, this is true. But even if you decide on home dyeing, its result may be different. Make sure that you know the staining technique well and do not break its rules.

Stages of proper staining.

1. The selection of dye. To determine the appropriate color, lift the hair in the light - in the total mass they appear darker than they really are. If you have recently done chemical waving (or a procedure similar to it), use soft tinting preparations; full staining is undesirable. If honey is your natural color and you are not averse to returning to it, remember that the hair at the roots is always a little darker than the main mass.
2. Allergotest. Always carry it out, even if no problems with the dye have previously occurred.
3. Preparation for the procedure. Do not wash your hair before staining. It is very important that a layer of fat remains on the skin, protecting it from a negative reaction of the composition. But if the strands are very dirty, you can wash them with shampoo without using a balm.If styling products are left on your hair, just try combing them out.
4. Instruments. Lubricate the skin around the edges of the face with greasy cream or petroleum jelly. Always use gloves that protect the skin from dye. Dilute the paint in a plastic or ceramic bowl, because the reaction of the dye and metal, if you use, for example, an aluminum plate, will cause the formation of compounds with a negative impact on the result of staining. Mix the paint strictly before the procedure.
5. Application Divide the curls into 4 zones by passing two perpendicular partings through the crown. Apply the dye along the parting line, then on the nape of the neck (where the skin is colder and staining occurs with less intensity). Lastly, the composition is applied to the temporal part and the hair above the forehead. There is the thinnest hair, and therefore the dyeing composition there seizes faster.
6. Exposure Read the instructions and do not deviate from its instructions. Upon reaching the desired color, perform emulsification - apply a little warm water to the hair, gently foam it, distribute it on the surface of the head, doing massage along the hairline. Rinse the hair further with warm water, then shampoo, as well as a balsam neutralizer to remove any paint residue.

The brighter the shade of paint, the faster it will wash out. You can correct the situation by choosing the right care products after staining. Most often, these are shampoos and balms that help maintain color fastness, designed to care specifically for colored curls.

Typically, such shampoos contain extracts:

• cinnamon
• grenade;
• daisies;
• cherries.

To prolong the color fastness, the lamination procedure will also help. Each hair is covered with an invisible film, which captures the color. If you are not a supporter of chemical professional lamination, you can turn to an alternative laminator - gelatin. A few of these home treatments, and the hair will noticeably change. They become more obedient, smooth, shiny, and the color looks like you just painted curls.

Do not forget about nourishing hair masks. Feed them outside, making masks based on fermented milk products, fruits, berries, bread. But the condition of the hair also depends on the state of the body as a whole. Vitamin therapy should be systemic, good nutrition - every day, healthy sleep - not from time to time, but constantly.

Negatively affect any hair thermal appliances. If you use a hair dryer, iron, curling iron almost every day, then it will be very difficult to increase the length. And color suffers from such manipulations. If you cannot reduce the frequency of use of this technique, use thermal protection. These are, as a rule, indelible compounds that protect hair from damaging thermal effects.

Hair is a woman’s jewelry that nature herself gives her and which can become real wealth, a business card. But nature needs help: competent care, the right choice of color and gentle protection will make your hair regularly receive the most sincere compliments.
