Warm colors include intermediate shades like caramel, which is a cross between yellow and chocolate flowers. In many ways, it resembles wheat, but instead of yellow, red paint prevails here.

There are tones that suit the most reckless lovers of experiments.

A natural option for a cold shade is considered dark blond color. The beige color looks natural. Californian involves a combination of dark blond with ash and platinum. Unusually looks pearl tone in combination with an ash tint.
Who is it for?
Beautiful fashionable shades adorn the appearance and attract attention. But in order for color to become an organic complement to the image, when choosing a color, you should rely on the characteristics of your color type.
Winter spring autumn summer
For spring girls with wheat-honey hair and translucent fair skin, any warm shades are suitable: wheat, beige, light blond. They best emphasize the expressiveness of blue, green, gray or brown eyes. Warm colors organically complement the natural beauty of hair and do not violate the rules of color type.

However, experts also recommend taking a closer look at the dark shades of the blond.
For summer type light brown or brown hair color is characteristic. Ash shades and the so-called mouse color are found. Summer girls have blue, gray or green-blue eyes and aristocratic pallor. Bright pink undertones of skin will be emphasized by bright cold tones such as ash, platinum, pearl and pearl blond.

For them, shades like golden, Venetian or honey will be the perfect blonde option. At the same time, a bright appearance allows you to experiment with a strawberry or caramel shade.
A universal staining option that fits without exception all color types is light brown. For example, a rich palette of medium-blond tones allows you to choose the right color for any skin type. Gray, ash and platinum brown tones are suitable for a cold color type, and caramel, honey and wheat brown for a warm color.

Creating a single image
It is important that the selected shade not only emphasizes the natural beauty and features of a particular color type, but also organically combines with a haircut and haircut. The length of the hair must be taken into account - long, short, to the shoulder blades or to the shoulders.
For example, the beauty of curly hair is best emphasized by golden, honey or wheat shades. If the hair is naturally dark, you should pay attention to caramel shades or consider dyeing 1-2 shades lighter than the natural color.
Wavy curls look good both in copper shades and in cold ash, pearl and silver tones. It should be remembered that warm colors mask skin imperfections, and cold colors emphasize flaws.
It is not enough for girls with straight hair to simply dye their hair - the hairstyle should be given extra volume. That is why stylists recommend combining balayazh, which involves shimmering shades, with a long bean haircut, and a platinum color with a mischievous pixie haircut.
Ombre with clarified ends is ideally combined with a torn square, which suggests the presence of short strands. Asymmetric styling of hair dyed in silver tone allows you to add volume even to short cut hair.
You can experiment with bangs. Any short haircut with an elongated bang, combed to one side or braided in a braid, will look voluminous and feminine.
Many girls go to the classic square to the shoulders with a straight bang to the eyebrows.
There are a lot of options for women's haircuts on bleached hair. Every year, stylists offer new interesting solutions, but before choosing a specific option for haircuts and dyeing, you should consult a specialist. After all, a chic appearance should fully recoup the time and money spent.
Staining methods
The names of popular techniques are well known to everyone. Each hair length requires compliance with certain nuances, but there are options that are suitable for hair of any length.
Universal methods for professional staining
Boyish hair length is dyed according to the haircut. For a rack, a balayazh or ombre is suitable, for trimming a bob, they perform tinting or a crank. Particular attention is required when choosing a shade for very short hair, because instead of the expected beauty, you can get a clown look.
Long or medium hair does not require such a careful choice of color, but a sense of proportion will definitely not hurt. The most popular technique is professional monophonic staining. The procedure is relatively simple, but this option requires regular toning and tinting of the growing roots.
The remaining types of staining are more difficult, but they well mask overgrown roots. For instance, California highlighting involves the color of the hair roots in dark colors with bright highlights at the ends. Balayazh involves staining individual strands with shades close to the native hair color.
Ombre with its smooth transition between colors, it will look optimal on bob haircuts or caret on short hair. Similar requirements for boy haircuts put forward technician reservationswhen staining begins just below the roots of the hair. Longer curls do not have special requirements.
Another ultramodern type of coloring has become pixel coloringin which the hair is drawn in the form of pixels. The only drawback is that it is suitable only for straight hair and is not suitable for curly hair.
There is a so-called 3D stainingwhen the base and several lighter tones are used to create the color. As a result, strands are released in separate zones, which makes the hairstyle look more voluminous even on thin hair.
The listed options are suitable for both long and short-cropped hair.
And yet, the greater the length, the more variations to create an interesting image. Therefore, it is worth familiarizing yourself with the methods of lightening more magnificent curls.
Dyeing long and medium hair
Coloring involves dyeing individual strands in more saturated colors. Using this technique, natural color transitions or vivid contrasts are achieved. Highlighting individual strands creates volume and emphasizes the texture of the model haircut.
Light blond is usually recommended to dilute the hair with chestnut or reddish shades, brunettes are suggested to lighten strands with caramel colors, and red or honey or wheat tones are recommended.
This technique is good for young girls and young women, more mature ladies run the risk of emphasizing their age with such transitions. Therefore, they should pay attention to majimesh, which gently brightens hair for 2-3 tones. The overall color of the hair is preserved, the shade changes.
However, this type of dyeing is good only for fair hair, on dark - no one will see a smooth transition and play of color. For dark-haired young ladies, a gradient is more suitable, the colors of which are stretched along the entire length from the darkest to the lighter.
It is worth paying attention to marble staining, which is used to color individual strands with a powdery brightener. The result is a spectacular color transfusion that immediately attracts attention.
Another newfangled method is considered screen stainingwhen, using a stencil, a pattern is applied to the strands in the form of an animal print, flowers or geometric shapes. The procedure involves the main length, so regrown roots will not become a problem for such a color, and it should be adjusted at least once a month.
Lightening at home
You can lighten hair of any length without resorting to the help of professional colorists. To do this, it is enough to choose a special decolorizing composition like a clarifying powder, gel or rinse. The first contains a blue or purple pigment that brightens hair in 6 and even 8 tones without the effect of yellowness.
At the same time, the non-observance of proportions and the wrong exposure time dries out the hair, and it is not suitable for thin hair. Therefore, before using the powder, you should consult a master about the preparation and use of the product.
A gel that contains hydrogen peroxide and lightens hair with just a couple of tones is considered to be a more gentle means. You can speed up the process with a hairdryer. Please note that this tool is designed for natural dark blond hair. On darker the effect of the gel will be invisible.
For dyed hair, use a wash - they are especially willing to use it to lighten too dark or unfortunate shades. But it’s pointless to lighten natural curls with it - this product contains a minimum concentration of an oxidizing agent, which practically does not affect the keratin layer.
Another effective home dye is ammonia paints. Their undeniable advantage is the quick effect (especially if a wash was used before painting). Curls are lightened by 1-2 tones, but such a rapid transformation turns into severe stress for them.
To give an interesting tint, you should use a tinted balm. Dark brown will look original with reddish or brown highlights, and golden hair will adorn brown hair.
This tool is optimally suited for correcting the natural color of hair or made color. For example, a balm for ashen or pearl hair neutralizes yellowness, and a remedy for warm colors helps maintain color.
Before undertaking clarification with artificial dyes, you need to be aware that the simultaneous transformation of a brunette into a blonde will make her hair dry and lifeless. Hair will become brittle, and you will only dream about the former shine.
If the hair has never been dyed, you can try lightening using folk methods.
- Lemon juice. Freshly squeezed and well-filtered lemon juice is diluted in a glass in half with water, applied to clean, damp hair and warmed with warm air from the hair dryer for 15 minutes. The procedure is carried out 1-2 times a week, a noticeable effect will be achieved in a month.
- Chamomile broth. A tablespoon of chamomile is poured with a glass of hot water, insisted for a couple of hours in a thermos or boiled for 20 minutes in a water bath, and then filtered. The resulting broth is diluted in a half-liter container and rinsed with hair every time after washing the hair. Hair bleached for 8 or 10 applications. Chamomile infusion is considered the safest means of clarification, but it has a short effect. If you take a break, after a few days the original hair color will be restored.
- Kefir mask applied to the roots, evenly distributed over the entire length, then covered with a plastic bag, warm and rinse off after 1-2 hours with warm water without shampoos and rinses. Lactic acid brightens, nourishes and moisturizes hair. If you add cinnamon or honey to kefir, such a mask will contribute to the growth of hair.
Any option for home dyeing gives only a short-term effect. To get a beautiful shade, you should seek the help of a professional stylist.
The specialist will not only help you choose the best color option without harming your hair, but also give a number of recommendations for caring for bleached hair.
How to care for your hair?
Keeping a new image in its original form will allow compliance with the advice of a hairdresser. As a rule, masters recommend using special care products for colored hair.
To preserve the color, the use of special shampoos, conditioners and indelible balms is mandatory. Moreover, shampoos should be low pH, conditioner - dense in the number of lipids, and balms are used to nourish and moisturize hair.
Before drying with a hairdryer, thermal protective agents should be used. But even hair protected with lotion or spray cannot be overheated: the air stream should not be scalding. And from the use of a curling iron or ironing in the first two weeks after staining, in general, it is worth giving up.
Lightening for hair is a lot of stress. Masks made of essential oils will help maintain their healthy appearance and protect against shine loss. It is important that the oils are selected according to the type of hair and do not contain coloring pigments.
The recipe is simple: the oil is heated in a water bath to 30-40 degrees, then evenly applied to the main length, put on a hat and warm your head with a bath towel. After an hour, the mask is washed off with a special shampoo.
At the end of the procedure, the hair is rinsed with infusion of chamomile, which fixes the effect and additionally nourishes the hair. Based on natural oils, you can also make one of the nourishing and regenerative masks.
- For banana mask you will need one indicated fruit, one tablespoon of honey and nutritious oil, one egg yolk. All components are mixed until a homogeneous mass is created and evenly applied to the hair. The mask is kept for at least 30 minutes, and then washed off with warm water and shampoo. This procedure can be performed no more than once a week.
- For cooking onion masks take the middle onion and a tablespoon of oil. Onions are crushed in a blender, squeezed juice, which is mixed with oil. The resulting mixture is applied to the hair and kept for at least two hours (you can leave it overnight). The only drawback of the procedure is the strong smell of onions, so it should be carried out on the weekend, so as not to annoy others with such an unpleasant aroma.
- It is permissible to use heated castor oil as a reducing agent. The product is evenly distributed along the main length, applied to the roots, left for a couple of hours and washed off with a special shampoo.
Do not forget that even the best tool will not save you from fragility if the hair is exposed to cold air or direct sunlight. Therefore, wearing a hat is a prerequisite for maintaining the color and health of the hair.
