Medium blond hair color: varieties of shades and selection tips

The light brown color, which has long been offensively called "mouse" and nondescript, in recent years leads the ratings of the most requested in hairdressing salons. Women increasingly decide to return to a natural, noble light brown color. And those who prefer blond for many years, return to the blond, which impresses with its splendor and variety of shades. And with this color you can be bright, beautiful, the very woman who turns around after.

Painting in light brown in 70% of cases is successful. The remaining 30%, as a rule, are home dyeing experiments, when instead of medium blond, a dirty color with a green undertone is obtained. Light brown in terms of coloring is really not the easiest option, therefore, for the transformation it is better to go to a specialist.

Typically, light brown color is preferred by women with summer and spring color types. Beautiful natural light brown suits bright eyes, the same skin tone and not the most expressive features. But with length and a haircut, you can experiment as you like: in any hairstyle, the light brown color will be interesting.

In the color range, light brown is between the brown-haired and the blond: it is at the intersection of these two colors that such wonderful shades are born, dividing, in turn, into 7 subspecies.

If the produced pheomelon is quantitatively strong, then the blond strands in a woman will be dominated by a soft and reddish tint, if the pheomelon is small, the hair will be cast in cold gray tones.

Among women from the countries of the former Soviet Union, this hair color is the leader in terms of prevalence, but not less than 30% of fair-haired women refuse natural color in favor of brighter shades, and subsequently return natural, but often with great difficulty.

Brown hair is an anthropological sign of a group of Slavic peoples; in Eastern Europe this color found its greater manifestation. But today, around the world, women are striving to find this subtle color, which no one dares call dull anymore.

If you go to the colorist, he will help you choose exactly the tone that is more suitable for your type of appearance. The specialist will build on what your natural color is. If this is light brown, then the shade will be evaluated: cold or warm, closer to golden or brown, is there a beige subton in it, etc.

The popular palette of light brown includes several tones.

• Light blond. It goes well with pale skin, gray-blue eyes. If at the moment you have your own medium blond and want to lighten it a little, then the regular use of infusions of chamomile, lemon and saffron will help to achieve the effect of lightening without professional paint.

• Light brown with a golden hue. In this color, shades of honey and caramel are clearly visible. It is perfect for girls who want to make their look softer. The tone goes very ladies with gray-blue eyes.

• Ash gray. Cold colors, stylish and expensive color, which should be avoided by women with dark skin and dark eyes. Color is not easy to obtain, because at home you do not even need to start self-painting.

• Light brown with copper. Typically, this color is achieved by tinting, because the natural combination of cold blond and fiery red does not actually occur in nature. If you have light eyes and clear skin with freckles, and also a desire to add a “spark” to your image, take a look at this color.

• Medium blond. Color is easily achievable for fair-haired girls. This is a multifaceted shade, which under different lighting manifests itself from a new perspective. During the day it can be soft, give in the direction of wheat tones, but in the sunset rays it becomes with a bronze tint and even notes of coffee look.

• Dark blond. This color is an ideal basis for experiments with makeup: as soon as a woman applies makeup, the color begins to play. It definitely allows you to stand out from the crowd.

The hue cannot be called universal, but it still has a certain “friendliness”. I am glad that, unlike many other colors, it is not so critical for age: this is a suitable option for very young girls and for women of mature years. Given the color, you can find the shade that is most complementary to it. If you have even skin tone, warm shades, then almost any rich blond will suit you. If you attribute your own appearance to a cold color type, give preference to a blond with a gray color.

Experts-stylists assure:

• light brown color is suitable for women of spring color type with soft features;

The choice of paint is based on how you relate to the type and condition of your hair, what result you expect and how much you are ready to leave money in the store.

Let's go through the brands.

• Garnier. The dyes are enriched with natural ingredients that help the color deeply gain a foothold in the structure of the hair. In the coloring composition of this brand low ammonia content. Of the shades that may interest you - silver-ash, flower honey, champagne, ashy light blond. After decapitation, shades are often taken lighter than those that are needed, since when dyeing hair, it darkens a little.

• Olia. Dark, light, copper variations - in the line of paints there are many tones, modern, relevant. Some components of the coloring oil mixture replace chemical dyes. To obtain a light brown color, you can consider the following options: light brown, beige, cream, mother of pearl, golden brown.

• Color & shined. Argan oil and cranberry extract are present in the paint. Thanks to additives, the curls become silky and shiny, color protection is guaranteed. In the “blond and light brown” lineup there are only 4 colors, the only rich blond gives a good result in coloring.

• Palette One of the most popular paints, tone No. 400 medium blond - the most popular paint for home use. With an initially red or yellow blond, the result of staining can upset a greenish tint, therefore, soberly evaluate the initial data.

• Loreal. A collection of paints is represented by 9 lines: there are among them paints with aggressive dyes, semi-stable formulations without ammonia, and the basis for soft tinting. For the fair-haired, the 9th line options are valuable (suitable if you need light blond versions). If you need medium blond, pay attention to the 7th and 8th rows.

A landmark is a rich color that is most compatible with the features of your appearance and will be persistent for a long time. But it’s not enough just to dye, you need to follow all those actions that will help keep the color on your hair.

And that means:

• use special cosmetic lines in care that are designed to maintain light brown hair color - they help to fix this pigment on curls;
• in some cases, once every 2-3 weeks, the hair will have to be tinted with special compounds that make the light brown color more expressive (such tinting is possible at home);
• two weeks after staining, the resulting medium blond can be fixed using the lamination procedure.

Before staining, assess the condition of the hair: they should not be dry, strongly cut, in need of a haircut and correction. First, treat the hair, moisturize, make a haircut, and only then they will tolerate dyeing well.

Keep track of the information on the package: be sure to carry out an allergotest, do not hold the dye on your hair for longer than the designated time. If you dye your hair yourself, divide the hairline into several segments, fix them with clips and separate one segment from another. Use a special brush for painting, and if the composition gets on the skin, try to rinse it off quickly.

There are at least 8 basic rules that will help to preserve the color after staining and delay the next procedure. Alas, every second woman who dyes her hair does not fully comply with these rules.

• Do not wash your hair after staining for at least 1-2 days, or better - at least 3 days. Even just standing in the shower without covering your hair with a special cap is not recommended. It takes 72 hours for the color to “sit down”.
• Shampoo and conditioner must be marked “for colored hair”. This is not a marketing ploy, but a composition really valuable for chemically dyed hair. They prevent the dye from being washed quickly.
• Avoid all heat. A hot hair dryer and walks under the scorching sun are enemies of hair, and even more so of dyed ones. The same medium-brown color is unlikely to burn out beautifully; rather, it will give a greenish tint in the light.
• Wash your hair less often. This advice is valid not only for girls with dyed hair. Do not accustom your hair to frequent washing, try not to wash it more often than once every 4 days.
• Wash your hair gently. Consider a washing procedure as a gentle massage, not a harsh wash. Shampoo should mainly wash the hair at the roots and scalp, to a lesser extent - the length. Balm (a single serving - the size of a walnut) carefully and evenly distribute along the length, stepping back a few centimeters from the roots.
• Wash your hair with “summer” water. Hot water deforms the structure of the hair, negatively affects the skin. Accustom yourself to washing in warm water, such that it would be pleasant for swimming.
• Get a toning shampoo. It is advisable that this was a tool that a hairdresser recommended to you. A light tinting effect will maintain the existing color, and the next global painting will not be so fast.
• Regularly update the length. Even the most beautiful shade is "killed" by lifeless, split ends.
