Light brown hair color: all shades and rules of dyeing

It is remarkable that the times when the fair-haired were offensively called "mouse", dull, nondescript and faded, have passed. Now, hundreds of thousands of blondes around the world rush into the salons with one request - “give me back my blond!” It turned out that for a long time being in the position of an outsider from various shades of hair broke into first place. Light-eyed girls are more often repainted in blond, but owners of brown eyes tend to acquire a delicate, very beautiful and delicate hair color. The blond is back in fashion, and it seems to be a long time.

Light brown hair color is the most common option among Slavic girls. That is why it is again referred to as a color that is as organic as possible with natural data. Once upon a time, women were all painted in black, chasing its brightness and accent. But black required no less catchy make-up, a certain choice of clothes, even skin tone.

Experts in the beauty industry assure: the society is "full" of artificial brightness and gloss hysteria. Today, a woman with a bright, shimmering make-up and expressive, but completely unnatural hair color looks ridiculous and old-fashioned. Beautiful natural colors became fashionable because they made women convincing in their external self-presentation: one wonders how much effort this beauty is worth, and how much artificial it is.Rather, on the contrary, light brown shades look so natural on curls that in most cases you can not even guess that it is colored hair.

And now a little biology. The natural color of the hair depends, as you know, on the pigment melanin, on the amount of air in the pigment itself, and also on the coloring element produced by melanin, which is inside the shaft. Melanin is responsible for the saturation of the color, and two other components are responsible for its shade - pheomelanin and eumelanin. In the curls of any tone, these two components are present.

Eumelanin is black-brown, and pheomelanin is yellow-red. But their concentration in the hair shaft is uneven, more pigments are found in the center, but in the cuticle they are practically absent. If more eumelanin and much less pheomelanin is synthesized in the human body, he will have dark hair. If eumelanin, on the contrary, is smaller, hair with a red tint. If there is no pheomelanin at all, and eumelanin is also not very much, the hair will be in an ash-gray palette.

The fair-haired of interest to us is a gray-brown color, if you give it a straightforward characteristic. Light brown is a palette of natural shades from light blond to dark blond, colors may include ash and copper overflows. These shades are found in most Slavs. Light brown is the color that is between the blond and the brown.

Natural color stabilizes by 5-6 years, sometimes it can change during the years of puberty. After 20 years, curls sometimes lose pigmentation, and even with such a young age, gray hair can form.

The type of appearance of the girls when choosing a color and shade, of course, is important. Of course, fair-haired will go to all the ladies for whom this color is native. If you have been walking with brown hair all your life, but you think that they do not suit you, try to correct the situation. The first option - you need to use tools with reflective particles. They will cover the hair with a film that will make the curls shine. It is the radiance and silkiness that make the light brown color show all its splendor.

The second option for fair-haired, dissatisfied with their own hairdo - lightening by 1-2 tones (or, conversely, choosing a light brown shade slightly darker than natural).

And also light brown will do:

• light-eyed girls with olive or very fair skin;
• brown-eyed girls with fair even skin and a pleasant oval face;
• former dyed brunettes with long, straight hair;
• women who want to get out of blond;
• to girls with thick hair by nature.

Let us turn to one very illustrative example. Angelina Jolie, for many years was considered almost the most beautiful woman of our time, was a brown-haired woman, and a brunette, and even a blonde. In his youth, Angie preferred radical dark colors, and then there was a fashion for a bright, without diluted and muted shades, appearance. Being in a relationship with Brad Pitt, Angelina became brighter, for a long time she had a light brown color, which softened her impudent image. Thanks to the blond, the actress ceased to be associated with the fatal woman, she was paid attention to as a philanthropist, philanthropist. Light brown color has become an association with motherhood, inner harmony and poise.

Because there is a fair-haired woman, not only in accordance with the appearance of the woman, but also her position, image, desire to show herself in a certain light. If you want to become softer, more feminine, calmer - contact a blond.

The variety of shades of light brown palette can be impressive - colorists are happy that technology is developing, and craftsmen can offer their customers the most subtle and elegant shades that maximize the repetition of natural solutions.

All natural shades of light brown are divided by temperature gradation into cold and warm. And this, indeed, is a valuable division that should not be ignored.

Cold shades will go to those whose appearance has such a gamut. Girls with natural blond can “jump” from one temperature to another. With age, they should look at the younger younger warm shades of blond. But if the skin tone is even, wrinkles are not very noticeable, and the oval of the face is good, you can stay true to cold tones for a long time.

• Dark blond. There are color options where there is not a single warm note. But there are also shades (and more often they are natural), where, depending on the lighting, the color from cold can turn into warm.

• Light Brown. The color is suitable for owners of blue eyes and fair skin. Thin hairs look even thinner with this color. Goes to young girls with hair length to the shoulder blades and love for large curls.

• Frosty light brown with a brown undertone. It is also close to natural. It will look good on women whose type of appearance, like Liv Tyler's, is fair skin, expressive eyebrows and gray-blue eyes.

• Light brown with pearl. A good option for those who want to leave the blond, but not radically.

• Pearl. Close to the noble variations of the blonde, suitable for owners of lush hair.

• Platinum blond. This color is preferred by many Hollywood stars. He is considered a compromise between the desire to stay in the row of blondes, while making his image more natural.

• Ashen. A noble color that is not for everyone. Refuse this fashionable shade if you have severe pigmentation on the face, defects and redness on the skin, noticeable age wrinkles, very enlarged pores and basic hair color with yellowish and reddish tones.

Cold blond shades are suitable restrained, Nordic make-up. A little winter aura should come from the image: a little bit of ice in the eyes, a bit of mystery and restraint. You should be so calm in choosing clothes. Bright colors are possible, but occasionally and metered.

The main representative of this part of the palette is medium Russian. Most Slavs are born with this hair color. And while Asians and Latinos dream of this elegant shade, Slavic girls repaint themselves in blond, become radical brunettes or bright red. But, as a rule, by the age of 30 (or even earlier) they are drawn to their native middle Russian.

There are other warm shades of light brown.

• Beige. Color can add age to young girls, often it requires a bright make-up.

• Sand. A beautiful natural color, a godsend for those who constantly rush between a blond and a natural blond. Looks perfect on hair of medium length and long, straight and stiff.

• Light brown with a honey undertone. It can be afforded by girls with freckles, who still can not find a complementary appearance of color. Rich, playing overflows in the sun, a very refreshing color.

• Light brown with golden. It also repeats natural variations; it suits both gray-eyed ladies and those with a tea-colored iris.

There are at least two criteria by which to navigate in the choice of tone. This is the color type and structure of the strands. But there is still age and image that you carry. For example, women aged with relatively dark skin and dark eyes decide to dye their curls brown. On a short haircut, both temperature options will be appropriate, but warm shades look more interesting in the sunny season, cold shades are more strict and restrained.

Everyone probably knows that beauty experts identify four common female color types, identified by the names of the seasons. Let us dwell on each of them.

Spring is the warmest and most sunny color type. It includes ladies with gray, gray-green or blue iris, light skin with a peach undertones. The natural color of the curls of the representatives of this type is light brown (from light to dark), as well as wheat and honey. Here in the outline of these colors and look for your option.

Summer is, despite the name, a cool appearance. This is how girls with light brown, green, gray-blue and dark gray eyes look. They have yellow-olive skin, as blood vessels are located close to the epidermis. By nature, women of the summer category are light-haired, and their natural color is more often with an ash tint.

Women of this color type are advised to dye their hair in pearl and platinum blond, silver and ashy shades, and also in ash-blond. Golden tint in the hair is undesirable - the skin will become tired and yellowish.

Autumn is swarthy red-haired girls with brown or green eyes. Dark-red, brown-haired, owners of a chestnut color with a red tint belong to this color type. The light brown color is below the line of the autumn category preferred by women. Unless bronze-brown or light brown-brown may be appropriate.

Winter is an eastern type of appearance. This is dark brown or black eyes, dark or beige skin, black or dark brown natural hair color. Light brown also rarely suits them. Girls of this color type often dream of a blonde, but he makes them homely. Nothing is better than natural black, blue-black, or cherry-black. And the fair-haired, alas, also deprives them of expressiveness, brightness, violates the organic image. Unless saturated dark blond, you can try to change the situation.

Everything is simpler here, although you will not find universal recipes either. As a rule, the darker the color, the thicker the hair appears. Therefore, if you have naturally thin hair, choosing light blond options, you run the risk of only exacerbating the impression. The only way out is to do volume, curls, waves, high hairstyles that distract from natural data.

Curly hair can look equally impressive with different variations of blond. But in principle, curls look more advantageous when the color plays, when part of the hair seemed to burn out in the sun.

There are several options for making your hair brown. And plain, uniform home coloring is far from the best of them. Short hair is less demanding on the choice of technology. But haircuts of medium length and long curls should be serviced only by professional colorists. To get a deep color with natural transitions, so that the coloring passes without doubtful stripes and spots, so that the total mass of hair does not dissonant with a more saturated bang - go to a specialist. Repaint completely or just refresh the color, it doesn’t matter.

Most popular techniques include several options.

• Classic staining. Everything is simple here - the master sees a good, solid solid base that does not require lightening. It applies paint from the roots to the ends of the hair starting from the parietal zone, resulting in a deep uniform color that can only be maintained.

• Squat. In this case, only the ends of the hair are lightened and tinted. It is worth noting that the fashion for such staining is leaving. And many girls who decide to subject their natural blond curls to fashionable fashion just cut off the white ends. Returning to a uniform, natural color is more difficult than parting with length.

• Shatush. Choosing this technique, the master applies glare of honey and light brown throughout the hair sheet in a chaotic manner. It looks beautiful, voluminous, but there is one drawback. This neat variegation can quickly get bored, and you want an even, calm tone. And it will not be so simple to reach it.

• Pixel staining. Not all masters undertake it. The dye must be applied using special stencils, a pattern is formed on the hair sheet. This is not such a popular technique, and it will not become mass.

• Highlighting. If you are tired of the fair-haired with whom you go all your life, you can refresh it with a very superficial, easy highlighting with the effect of burnt hair.

And although there is discord in light brown, an even color without specially made highlights and overflows is the main request of modern fashionistas. Perhaps the fashion for elegant simplicity has come - modern cosmetics allows girls with not very bright facial features to look very beautiful and stylish, and a radical hair color in this way is inappropriate. And maybe people just missed the light brown color, which had been so unfairly in the shadows for so long that it became exotic for a while.

There are 10 strict, proven, rigorous rules for hair care after dyeing, which apply to fair-haired women too. You will not ignore the rules, you will enjoy persistent color and healthy curls.

1. Do not wash your hair on the day of staining. The maximum that is allowed is to wash off the paint. Without using special shampoos and other usual means. If you dyed your hair in the morning, and by the evening decided to wash it even for the convenience of styling, you negatively affect the color fastness. In the process of dyeing, the hair cuticle is opened so that the dye penetrates deep into the hair. And after drying, and after laying the color is not yet final, it is not completely fixed. To color “sat down”, wash your hair at least 3 days after staining.
2. Shampoo and conditioner should be strictly for colored hair. If you choose another, the color will wash out faster. Special tools work, indeed, in a different way, they close the hair flake and prevent the light brown color from being washed out. Products with sulfates and parabens are partly yesterday, it is a very tough and rough hair cleaning.
3. Avoid overheating. So I want to paint curls in a noble blond and show off under the summer sun. Alas, it will not work for a long time, ultraviolet light will destroy the pigment, the color will begin to fade. Therefore, it would be nice to get a fashionable headdress, or to dose out the time spent in the sun. Use thermal protection if you do not want the blond to start giving out a green undertone.
4. Wash your hair gently. The process of washing your hair is a gentle massage, not an aggressive wash. Allow 5 minutes to wash your hair, not 2 intensively. All movements should be gentle and unhurried. After washing, you do not need to violently try to wipe the curls, just gently pat them gently with a soft towel. Do not comb them immediately.
5. Accustom yourself less often to wash your hair. Conduct an experiment - wash your hair no more than 2 times a week for a month. See that the hair gradually begins to become less oily. Frequent water treatments do not add pigment resistance.Blondes, painted in light brown, should even reduce their shampooing to 1 time in 5 days.
6. Maintain the brightness of curls. Get a shampoo with a tinting effect. He will not only clean his hair, but also tint it every time.
7. Do not abuse the care procedures. The first 2 weeks after staining, you do not need to make masks, apply oils and other serum mousses. Shampoo + balm - a couple that is enough. Restoring masks reveal the scales of the hair and “steal” the pigment, the blond becomes not so expressive very quickly.
8. Remember to update the length. Even if you grow your hair zealously and purposefully, cut it 2-3 cm every 2-3 months. "Dead", split ends will not adorn any length.
9. Avoid water with chlorine. Always wear a safety cap in the pool. While the color has not “sat down”, discard the pool altogether.
10. Sleep with dry, well-combed hair. There is no need for you creases and “cocks”. If your hair is long and naughty, braid it in a tight braid.

You can maintain color not by the frequency of staining, but by competent, gentle care. And if all this seems to you a very complicated science, or you do not want to give so much time to maintaining color, there is always an alternative - to grow a natural color.

Examples of celebrities are those inspirational images that often push women to change hairstyles. And this is a good way to find your option, looking for an actress or supermodel with a look similar to yours.

Here are some stellar examples.

• Dautzen Cruz. The Dutch supermodel became famous as a very young girl. It seems that Dautzen prefers blond, but the beauty had different options for hair color. Models come very blonde hair with a natural light brown root, quite overgrown. A natural transition, a beautiful tone, the absence of catchy shades - and Doutzen even without a make-up looks like a very young girl. And if she hadn’t had such light brown roots, the image would not have been so organic.

• Sarah Jessica Parker. Not all classic beauties have as many fans around the world as the cheerful Sarah Jessica. More often, Sarah prefers golden notes in her hair, but the restrained blond is very suitable for her. Color refreshes, draws attention to the eyes. But it is worth considering that by nature, a movie star has good and thick hair.

• Natalya Vodyanova. The mother of five children and the first Russian supermodel never went beyond the palette of her native color. A little darker, a little lighter, but always it was a variation of light blond. And he goes to Natasha at any age, whether in the photo 15 years ago, or in today's pictures from social networks. Natalya never had thick and chic hair, but the color of her curls, so in harmony with her fair skin and blue eyes, made her look natural and impeccable.

• Irina Shayk. Since we are talking about Russian supermodels, it’s criminal not to add Irina Shayk to the list of light-haired stellar examples. She made a square, and it suits her very much in combination with the perfect dark blond. If you have the same expressive big eyes, appreciate the new image of Irina. He is simple but elegant.

• Milla Jovovich. Another beauty with Russian roots, which always returns to her native light brown color (and its variations). As in the case of Irina, there is a huge emphasis on the eyes, if they are the same sea color as Mila, the fair-haired one is most likely to suit you very much.

• Cara Delevingne. This celebrity has such expressive facial features that it seems that it is not worth emphasizing them with a bright hair color. Take a look at what Kara looks like with a medium Russian color - the image has become more balanced, whole.

If you think that the list does not have enough Slavs, maybe not as famous, but beautiful, as an example of a perfect fair-haired, we will correct this oversight.

Lisa Kutuzova - became known after a long-playing reality show, now the Instagram star. Lisa has beautiful thick hair by nature, with a chic volume. And she loves light brown hair color, periodically changing shades.

Or here's another example - Alexa, once a young star of a pop show, ex-girlfriend of Timati. Today, Sasha is engaged in the manufacture of jewelry, but it seems that Instagram has no less admirers of her appearance and perfect, noble blond hair color. He really goes to a girl.

There are examples for inspiration, my own desire to transform - too. It remains only to find a good master who will finish the job. And then, maybe, your photo from social networks will be for someone the best example and will lead to the idea of ​​repainting in light brown color.
