Almost every woman on the planet has changed her own hair color at least once in her life. But frequent or thoughtless color changes do not always lead to an excellent result, sometimes the final color does not meet expectations at all. So how do you determine which shade of hair to choose in order to look spectacular?
To begin with, it is worthwhile to understand that nature has not in vain endowed a certain person with one or another hair color. It is the natural hair color that creates a harmonious combination with the skin and eyes. From this it should be concluded that if you really really want to change your appearance not too drastically and not shock yourself, then you should opt for a shade slightly lighter or darker than natural.
But such a choice will not always suit, sometimes there is a need to change your image beyond recognition! In this case, to minimize unpleasant results, it is better to adhere to some rules.
Combination of skin and eye tones
The first thing to remember is the combination with skin and eye tone. Cold skin tones work better with cold hair tones, and "warm" hair - with "warm" skin. This rule also applies with a tint to the eyes.
For a more harmonious effect, you need to consult with your hairdresser or stylist, he will help in determining the color type. Just ask him if the new chosen hair color matches your skin tone and eye tone? The color type greatly facilitates the task and narrows the choice to a few suitable colors.
Hair condition
The second thing you should pay attention to is the condition and quality of the hair. Is it thick, dense, thin, liquid, wavy, or straight? The shade of future hair will depend on this. For example, he will either emphasize the thinness of the hair, or vice versa - he will be able to do visually thicker... Will re-brightening withstand?
Lightness of hair
It is also necessary to understand that a very dark or, on the contrary, too light color will highlight possible imperfections (acne, large nose, bruises under the eyes, emphasize age).
Smooth color change
One of the most common mistakes can be called sharp transitions from light to dark and vice versa. It is by no means recommended to do this, it will affect the condition of the hair and the expected result.
It is best to repaint gradually, each staining should be done with a difference of a couple of tones.
Coloring
There is a partial coloring, which will help you not to radically change your appearance and try a certain shade of hair on yourself. This is suitable for those who have doubts or are not yet ready for a complete transformation, and this method will not ruin the hair too much. For example, balayage, the new Airtouch technique or modern coloring.
Dye selection
- The choice of dye should be taken seriously. To begin with, you can use temporary dyes (balms and tonics), they will only slightly change the shade. This method works best for blondes.
- There are also natural dyeswhich do the least damage to hair.
- In addition, semi-permanent dyes (without ammonia) were invented for girls who value the condition of their hair. They retain their influence for several weeks and spare the hair as much as possible. This means that they do not lighten them (background) when painting.
- If the choice for hair coloring is final, it is worth purchasing persistent dyes that hold the effect for up to several months and do not wash out.
But it must be remembered that the health of the hair will have to pay for the color fastness, because their structure will be destroyed.
