This mysterious palette is the golden mean between blondes and brunettes. Choosing the right shade is very important. The red pigment looks great with chocolate, bronze, copper. If you decide to experiment with appearance and update the image, this article is for you.
Features
The tan color is incredibly noble and stylish. The natural redhead is the result of a mutation. Red pheomelanin in the hair structure becomes dominant, changing the pigmentation in the structure. therefore natural red strands - a rare occurrence. Nevertheless, this does not make this color less desirable for girls and women of all ages. Many want to look bright, catchy, spectacular. The red tint of curls always attracts attention and distinguishes a person from the crowd.
If by nature your strands do not have a similar shade, you can correct the situation with hair dye.
Red shades do not go out of fashion, especially the classic range, which includes the aristocratic red-brown. However, far from all types fit this palette. As for status and age, the red-brown is almost always appropriate. But the color type needs to be evaluated fairly impartially.There are types that the redhead, even in small quantities, will completely kill, give a painful or unnatural appearance. This is a very insidious palette, so you need to handle it as carefully as possible.
If you do not want to emphasize the flaws, be careful when choosing a shade.
Varieties of tones
The tan shade refers simultaneously to two palettes: red and brown. All shades of both palettes are perfectly combined with each other. The gamma itself is conditionally divided into lighter and darker. Classification is not very important from the point of view of theory, but when choosing a method of coloring it plays an important role. A redhead and a chestnut will fall perfectly even on dark strands, but more amber undertones will require lightening if the original color of the curls is not blond.
Reddish-brown shades belong to the dark range, they are not so bright, but quite juicy and expressive. Sometimes the redhead is present only as a light tide, noticeable in the sun. In some cases, it becomes dominant, and brown tones fade into the background.
This palette includes many varieties:
red chestnut - deep, dark, aristocratic;
- chocolate with red - very spectacular and stylish;
- bronze - dark red with a little brown;
- with red - very bright and juicy, demanding on the type of skin;
- dark copper - almost completely brown, with some gold;
- brown with ginger - colder among the whole range, looks natural;
- terracotta - chestnut with a slight redness, great for all types.
Who is it for?
The tan color is rather unusual and spectacular, while it is demanding and whimsical. Even if you really want brightness, soberly evaluate your color type, otherwise you will be disappointed with the result. An experiment is a great solution, but choosing the right tone is still necessary for it to be successful. So, we determine the color types and find out which shades of red are suitable.
Bright hues
These are the shades of blond: peach, gold, copper. Very romantic and tender, which are suitable for owners of fair skin and blue eyes. But from the bright shades of red this color type will have to be abandoned. Everything that creates a contrast with the color type - kills him. Therefore, your choice is ginger, light copper, caramel with redhead, peach.
Bright colors
Here, the brown gamut is represented by various combinations with ginger variations: from orange to fire. This is the most daring, expressive palette that attracts attention. Carrots, bright copper are not suitable for girls who naturally have blond hair and pale skin. Not the best tandem will turn out with light shades of eyes: blue and gray. But if your eyes are dark or bright green, this is your option. Autumn and spring color types can safely consider bright shades of reddish-brown.
Too pale or unhealthy skin is a complete contraindication to such a change of image: bright shades instantly emphasize all the flaws, including age.
Dark tones
The brown pigment prevails here, the redhead acts on the sidelines. Paints of a similar color scheme are often used by brunettes and brown-haired women to give the strands a delightful vibrant tint. These tones make the image more expressive, brighter (without loudness). In this gamut, copper, golden, red and brown are especially often used.
There is no definitive contraindication for this palette, but it is best suited for dark-eyed girls. Too young, she can visually add years.
There are cases in which you should not experiment with a reddish-brown palette in all variations.
Gray hair. If the percentage of such hair is large, the redhead can become a fiery-carrot and turn you into a clown, especially since the capriciousness of the pigment does not guarantee its resistance.
Age-related changes. Wrinkles, wrinkles on the face will become even more noticeable if you color the strands in red tones.In general, the brighter the color, the more it emphasizes defects on the face.
Freckles. If you are trying hard to hide pigmentation of any kind, refuse red and brown: they will flaunt everything that you are trying to hide.
