Ash-purple hair color: shades and nuances of dyeing

Ash-purple shade of hair is an amazing color that demonstrates at the same time courage and modesty, strong will and tenderness, and also gives the image a touch of mystery. A woman with ash-purple hair will not go unnoticed on the street. However, deciding to paint in this unusual shade, you need to study the information about it.

Ash color is a shade at the junction of green and blue, but in this case it is presented with a tinge of purple, due to which mother-of-pearl, pearl rays play on the woman’s hair. Some girls do not decide on such a cardinal image, believing that gray-violet is the color that women of mature age prefer to put on. But this is not so, and on the contrary, women after 40 years of age, this shade is highly not recommended.

The fact is that it makes skin imperfections more visible, so ladies who choose the ash-purple color of their hair make a big mistake.

However, because of the ability to “reveal” skin defects to girls with problems of the dermis, it is better to abandon this tone. Best of all, such paint rests on a platinum blonde. Such coloring is suitable for ombre and highlighting.

Despite the fact that it would seem that the ash-violet tone is an independent color, in fact, even it has variable shades. It can be darker and lighter shades, shades of cold and warm type, which are selected depending on the features of the appearance. By the way This color is universal, it is suitable not only for girls, but also for young guys, especially blondes.

Before deciding on this crucial step, make sure that the ash-violet color is suitable for your type of appearance, considering the following nuances:

• this shade is very well combined with porcelain skin;
• if the skin of the face is prone to redness, it is better to avoid this color;
• such a shade harmonizes beautifully with gray, blue, green or amber eyes; the overall image will be new, bold, futuristic;
• best of all, ashen-violet dye falls on fair or light brown hair; the color fits unevenly on dark strands, a result is possible that will not satisfy the girl.

Before you go to the store for paint, use the following recommendations:

• if a lady who wants to dye her hair in ashen-violet color has its own shade of warm gamut, then it is warm tones of ashen that are worth choosing; owners of a cold type, respectively, should give preference to cold shades;
• if the hair has a yellowish or red tint, it is recommended to go for professional hair dyeing services, since at home the ashy color on red curls can turn into dirty yellow;
• if the desired shade could not be found, then it is allowed to mix the tones of ash and violet paint in the proportions of 1: 2, but the result again may turn out to be extremely unexpected.

If the girl’s hair has a very light shade, then staining in an ash-purple tone should not be a problem. But the owner of light brown hair before dyeing the strand will have to lighten several tones, since the paint may not be visible. Only after this, a high-quality staining is possible. The same applies to women with brown hair, only here it will be necessary to approach lightening even more responsibly, since the natural dark pigment will interrupt the light shade of the tonic.

It is best to carry out the procedure in the salon with a specialist, since the ash-violet color, although very beautiful, is rather capricious, requiring a special approach when painting.

It is important to remember that this color also needs professional courtship. As a rule, light colors quickly lose their brightness, the coloring pigment remains in its form for no more than a few weeks. To maintain brightness, it is recommended to purchase special tinting agents and balms.

And also professionals advise as little as possible to use a hairdryer and ironing in the first three days after paintingto give your hair a break from the chemical effects of ash purple dye.
