Possessing a “blond” color by nature, its owners often encounter a grayish tint mixed with the main color, which gives the latter an effect of gloom and coldness. The straw color obtained artificially corrects this drawback of the female image.
Painting Features
To recreate this shade on your own is easy. It has something in common with wheat-honey, while it is deprived of copper glare. This color does not look like dry straw either, and ideally, it should be with a golden tint, devoid of "chicken" yellowness.
If the hair is initially dark, experiments with a “blond” color will not lead to anything.
Pre-lighten for 6-7 tones. This is done in at least 2 sets. Lightening hair in 1 dose will lead to denaturation of the natural protein, without which your hair would crumble.
Excess peroxide leads to the disclosure of the scaly structure of the hair - as a result, they, like Velcro for cleaning clothes, cling to themselves all the reagents deposited on them, including rust from insufficiently purified tap water, and change their color to extraneous, unpleasant eye shades that do not combine with skin.
Who is it for?
Having wished to be painted in a straw blond, make sure that the skin color is warm, yellowish.
In the case of dark brown or brown hair, do not bleach it excessively - abuse of peroxide can make your hair dry.
An alternative is ombre or highlighting, and they, in turn, emphasize your naturalness.
- Choosing the right straw subton also has its own characteristics.A spring skin tone, as the lightest, is perfectly combined with cream shades, and a light straw, linen or golden brown color will turn out to be a lady with such a color type.
- When you bring a blue sheet of paper to the face, from which all cosmetics are washed off, when the skin looks fresh and small wrinkles are less noticeable, the skin color is summer. Then an ash-blond color is suitable for you.
- For a winter (“porcelain”) skin tone, platinum blond is best.
- But for an autumn, darker color, it is copper-bronze blond that is better, that is, straw shades will create a repulsive impression.
How to choose a dye?
Now that you have an idea of what color scheme for hair dye suits you, pay attention to the amount of ammonia contained in the dye. An excess of it will turn your hair into lifeless ringlets of flashy-yellow colors - any cheap dyes sin this.
Make sure that ammonia is not present.
The best option is ammonia-free oil composition. An alternative is powder coloring, which relieves every hair of unnecessary dyes contained in the purchased composition and suddenly manifested itself. The cream composition is easiest to apply, the cream-paint does not leak.
When choosing warm tones and midtones, remember that they give yellowness after painting. Look for paint on the packaging of which the supplier indicates that it does not add additional yellowness to the colored hair.
Pay attention to the composition: it should have as few artificial and as many natural (oils, extracts and vitamins) ingredients as possible.
