After the second stage, the color will align.
It is because of the appearance of yellowness that brunettes and brown-haired women are not advised to paint in sand color. In many salons, instead of conventional lightening, resort to the use of bronding, glare highlighting. The ombre staining technique is no less common. Thanks to lightening, the hair will not lose its natural beauty, dyed in a sandy tint.
Please note that not all natural brunettes suit this color. The fact is that many dark-haired girls have an olive skin color, so blonde hair will look inorganic.
