Light brown hair color: shade selection and dyeing tips

Light chestnut color is very natural, but not boring at all. Most often, he is chosen by fair-haired young ladies who want to refresh their everyday look and make it more interesting.

Light brown hair color is not suitable for every girl. Although it is considered quite versatile and looks great on both young and mature ladies, the shade should not contradict the existing color type. For instance, this tone does not look very beautiful with too light or, conversely, too dark skinas well as with blue eyes. Owners of neutral or golden skin in this situation are in a better position - the tone goes to them almost perfectly.

Light chestnut will suit the spring girls in color. Such subtones as golden, amber or even cherry will look good. No less attractive is the use of this tone on the "autumn" beauties. A young nut suits ladies with brown or green eyes. Freckles and moles, which are a characteristic feature of warm color types, with this hair color look very harmonious.

In the case when the girl has a “cold” appearance, but still want to try on a nutty shade, it makes sense to think about an ash-chestnut shade that goes into olive. He is pretty neutral.However, at home it is quite difficult to achieve this shade, and therefore it is better to contact a specialist.

If the girl has too light, almost translucent skin, then she should choose chestnut shade, matching the tone of mahogany. Light-nut tones without any specific undertones are very suitable for black ladies. For even darker skin, a golden or honey tone is required.

Light chestnut color has a number of shades that are most suitable for one or another type of appearance. All of them are united by the maximum naturalness and relevance. A girl with green, blue or light brown eyes makes sense to try a deeper nutty color, for example, aspiring to "milk chocolate" or "pearl chestnut." A variation with caramel undertones, that is, light red notes, is suitable for the spring color type. You can try to go to the "caramel" or add more "gold".

Green-eyed beauties with fair skin can afford brighter solutions. "Light chestnut" in this case is complemented by a copper or golden undertone. If the skin is dark, it makes sense to play with red or chocolate notes.

Cold color type, as mentioned above, does not imply the use of this nutty shade. He is better off turning his attention to the "dark chestnut" with silver or even black tints.

A light chestnut shade does not belong to very complex ones, so it is quite possible to achieve it at home. However, if you have never done your own hair dyeing before, then it is better to trust a professional. Best pigment is fixed on light, blond or golden hair. Brunettes or red-haired girls first have to carry out bleaching curls, which can take far more than one week.

At L'oreal paris the palette presents several variations of the desired tone, for example, “Very Light Chestnut” and “Pure Light Chestnut”. In addition, a special line designed for quick staining also contains the required shade - “Very Light Chestnut”. Thanks to special technology, you can get it in just 10 minutes. For toning, which, although it is not long-term, but does not spoil the hair, due to the lack of ammonia in the composition, a series is suitable L'Oreal Paris Casting Cream Gloss. The necessary colors are located under the names "Chestnut Honey" and "Light Chestnut".

At the company Schwarzkopf the “Light Chestnut” shade, which is part of the Nectra Color collection, is on the market. It enjoys well-deserved popularity, betraying strands not only a beautiful color, but also a natural shine. In addition, it makes sense to pay attention to the “Caramel Chestnut” shade of the same brand.

In general, when choosing paint for changing hair color, it is recommended to pay attention to a number of important criteria. The product should give a persistent pigment, not to deteriorate due to exposure to shampoo, sweat or waving chemicals. Important low alkalinity of the product, but high coloring ability. In addition, it is good that the coloring substance is convenient for work.

Hair coloring is carried out according to the instructions. Toning shampoo will stay on the strands for up to a month, but with each washing of the head it still becomes paler. Resistant paint can withstand almost two months on the hair and rinse off will become much less noticeable.

Quite often, a light chestnut tone is chosen for partial staining. For this, techniques such as coloring, balayazh or ombre are used, the essence of which is partial dyeing of the total mass of hair.

As for the cost, painting at home will only require the purchase of paint and, possibly, brushes for a better study of the root zone. Contacting the salon only for a color change will cost a couple of thousand rubles. The final price in this case is determined depending on the professionalism of the master and the prestige of the salon. In the case when it comes to pre-provision or complex procedures such as ombre or balayazh, there is much more to pay.

There is also the option of toning the hair with the help of natural ingredients, not so spectacular, but completely safe. "Light chestnut" can be obtained by starting to rinse the curls with onion decoction.

In order to prepare a solution, you will need to take 100 grams of onion husks and pour them with 500 milliliters of clean cold water. The husk must be clean, ideally washed under the tap. The ingredients are placed on the stove, after which the contents of the pan are brought to a boil. Boil the onion for about a third of an hour, and then it should be allowed to cool naturally. The cooled broth is filtered using gauze or sieve, and also freed from the husk. It will be necessary to apply it, having completed washing of the head. Rinse onion broth is not necessary. The first coloring result will appear only after a few applications, so this procedure has to be performed regularly.

Another interesting solution is to use black tea., but not one that is sold in bags, but an expensive leaf variety. To prepare the broth, you need 5 tablespoons of dry tea leaves and 200 milliliters of freshly boiled water. When the tea is infused and cooled, it will have to be filtered. Welding will not be required further and it will need to be discarded, but the resulting liquid should be used to rinse the washed hair. Color will begin to appear after approximately the fourth application.

Light chestnut curls do not require such complicated care as bleached strands. But, of course, as a result of the procedure, they weaken, and therefore they should be provided with all the necessary procedures: cleansing, moisturizing, nourishing and restoring.

It is better to cut off already damaged hairs, and then purchase a special product that takes care of the ends of the hair.

In order not to dry the hair and not spoil the color, better protect your hair from UV rays. If possible, the street should appear in a headdress, and also do not forget about special protective equipment.

Surprisingly even the use of plain tap water can affect a noble light chestnut shade. Since excessive chemicals are often present in its composition, regular shampooing can cause the strands to turn green. To prevent problems, it is recommended to regularly rinse the curls with a liquid with high acidity. It can be either a mixture of plain water and lemon juice, or a combination of water and vinegar.

An interesting, but effective will be the procedure of biolamination, which should be addressed a couple of weeks after using the paint.

Biolamination can be carried out not only in a professional salon, but also at home.
