Ash brown hair color: shades, selection of paint, tips for dyeing and care

Ash-brown hair color is one of the most popular in the beauty industry of recent times. Many stars of show business appear in front of the lenses with exactly this shade of hair, regardless of age, because thanks to this choice, any lady can look spectacular and unique. Today, any woman can look not only well-groomed, but also stylish, unforgettable.

To choose the right shade of hair, you need to decide what suits you and what will not look very advantageous, it all depends on the color of the skin and eyes of their owner. Many believe that the ash-brown color of hair can "add" a certain number of years visually.

However, experience shows that this is not entirely true. The peculiarity of this color is that it is suitable for many women, as it simultaneously combines shades of cold and warm colors. Not everyone will be able to achieve 100% transmission of this particular color: the ash-brown shade “plays” in different ways on different shades of hair.

Experts attribute this shade to the "brown" category. It contains a gray tone, which eliminates the appearance of "yellowness" after staining. This color should not be confused with an ashen dark brown shade, which as a result gives a more “pale” result.Ash brown is ideal for brown-haired women - you do not need to “prepare” your hair for the expected shade beforehand, discoloring or tinting them.

If blondes decided on fundamental changes, then stylists recommend that they try to do highlights, which will look very impressive with a fashionable haircut: cascading, asymmetrical, with fashionable, ragged bangs.

Depending on the client’s wishes, a professional stylist can achieve many varieties of tones of ash-brown color.

• Young ladies and women of fashion of a more advanced age are very fond of a light ash shade, giving them romanticism and mystery. If the client has a light brown or lighter shade of hair, then the effect can be achieved without difficulty. A light brown shade with an unusual shimmer will become the color of admiration and originality.

• Trendy shades of brown are a trend in today's beauty industry. Among them, purple-brown rightfully occupies a leadership position, it is not for nothing that world celebrities are fond of him. This, in principle, is quite a defiant shade, but owners of fair skin can safely “wear” it for a considerable time.

• The dark brown shade of hair “offers” a lot of options for girls: chocolate, able to “rejuvenate” their owner, cognac - the dream of all green-eyed beauties, golden brown, giving romanticism to any beauty. Chestnut in all shades is a noble decoration of any charming female head, but here you need to observe the conventions: a cold shade should frame only light skin, the paler it is, the “calmer” the color is chosen.

• Many girls want to achieve a shade of ash blonde, believing that it is a derivative of the ash brown color. This is not entirely true, but the ashes in this embodiment give the hair an unforgettable shade.

Perfect silver or ashen is the prerogative of girls with perfect white skin. But the ash brown makes it possible to demonstrate its bright personality to many beauties both before 20 and after 40 years. In the first case, such a coloring will perfectly emphasize the youth and independence of the fair sex, and in the latter, it will make the lady much younger visually.

However, it will not look if you have the following features:

• moles, acne or any other skin defects;
• a lot of freckles;
• oily skin;
• visible wrinkles;
• you are a girl of the "autumn" type - with such an appearance a "golden" note in the image is necessary, and ashen will make them inexpressive;
• The “spring” type of women should also avoid a cardinal shade: ashen-brown they can be allowed in the form of colored strands, since if it becomes basic, then the “highlight” of the image may disappear;
• if your permanent color is of the “blond” type, coloring by 180 degrees will change your image, be prepared for this.

The color will ideally “look” on girls with perfectly white and olive-colored skin, owners of blue or gray eyes. If your appearance has a “cold” shade, then an ashen-brown color is your best choice. Experts consider its average shade to be “cold brown-haired” - it is brown in color with an unusual pearl shade. It is suitable in combination with other shades.

Such an unusual shade will attract attention both on long curls and on medium-length haircuts, and short hair of this color will not leave anyone indifferent. And this is independent, wavy or straight hair. A universal shade perfectly copes with regrown gray hair by cardinal shading.
