When women want any changes, they pay attention to their appearance and the first thing they do is hair. Changing your hair, styling, or color is a fairly common procedure. This is a simple and at the same time effective way that brings new details to the image of a woman, making him unusual and interesting. Many girls choose an ashy medium blond tone. At the same time, some make their own decisions, while others consult with specialists. But one way or another, the selection of hair color depends on a number of factors.
Features of ash brown scale
The main distinguishing feature of this color palette is the complete absence of red inclusions. This shade is perfectly cold, and in natural light brown there is a warm undertone, especially pronounced after lightening the hair. For this reason, as a rule, simple tinting is not enough, there is a need to use persistent paints.
However, with them everything is not as simple as it might seem at first glance. Any hair dye that can be found on sale gives an ash-brown palette due to the presence of gray or blue pigment. It is he who contributes to the creation of a specific ebb.
At the same time, if there is yellowness in the hair, even to a small extent, the result is a dirty gray, marsh or gray-green hue. And this is definitely not the result that I want to get on my head. For clarity, in the article you can find several photos of medium-ash blond hair.
Due to these features, experts recommend not to carry out the first staining on their own, it is better to entrust this matter to professionals. Even a simple tinting procedure in inept hands can end very badly. Moreover, if the tonic can be washed off in a week (maximum), then with regard to persistent paints, a washing procedure or staining in a darker shade will be required.
Who should use ash-brown gamma
Ash-blond shade has recently gained great popularity, becoming a fashionable trend. However, despite this, it should be understood that this gamut is not suitable for all representatives of the beautiful half of humanity. It should be chosen for girls with light curls and skin.
This color scheme is able to give even the most modest girls a spectacular and vibrant image. Oriental beauties with a characteristic tan should pay attention to a medium-brown, brown-ashen dark shade.
Humanity has long been familiar with the universality of this gamut. Visually, she can “throw off” a couple of years, thereby rejuvenating the woman a little and giving her self-confidence. The tone is suitable for almost any type of appearance, but only if the right choice of shade. Ultimately, the face freshens, the appearance changes and only for the better, a special individual charm is created.
It is also worth considering another important aspect - eye color. Ash-light brown palette is perfectly combined with gray, blue and gray-blue shade. In this case, hair serves as an excellent complement to the created image. At the same time, natural harmonious lines of the face are not violated.
Contraindications
To whom the ash-brown gamut suits, we described above. Photos of medium blond ashy hair are available in this material. At the same time, the staining technique in this shade resembles taking medications: there are also contraindications. This mainly concerns women with golden or red curls, which are given by nature itself. As a result of dyeing on the hair, a green tint can turn out, and the face visually acquires a yellowish-green tint.
In addition, the condition of the skin also plays an important role. The presence of a number of defects is a direct rejection of staining in ashen:
- acne, scars, scars;
- pronounced skin pigmentation;
- bruises, bags under the eyes;
- multiple small or deep facial wrinkles;
- frequent redness and peeling of the skin;
- close arrangement of capillaries to the surface of the epidermis.
In other words, the face must be perfect! In addition, women should refuse from staining in an ash-brown shade in the absence of time and desire to look after their curls.
Shades of medium light brown color
It so happened historically that the hair color of most of the inhabitants of our country is as close as possible to a light brown shade. This can be understood from many photos of medium-blond ash tone of curls from this article. Without a doubt, each of us suits the hair color that is bestowed by Mother Nature herself. Unfortunately, not the most successful combinations are found, or the appearance seems inexpressive.
Then the way out of the situation is the coloring of hair in an ashy shade. At the same time, preference is given to medium-brown color, which is rich in various shades:
- Light is the most attractive shade of the entire palette. Among natural tones, it is the most light palette. But it’s rather difficult to achieve it by staining.
- Golden may include solar inclusions. Currently, this shade is very popular. This is mainly due to high versatility. Owners of such a head of hair look unique and quite attractive. You can even say that every fashionista dreams of a golden medium-blond and ashen color (photo above).
- Copper. A pronounced opposite can be traced in this shade: on the one hand, it is a bright embodiment of flame, on the other, it is the cold restraint of ice. In nature, such a shade simply does not exist, but this does not negate the fact that the final image is stunning. To get a shade, you should turn to specialists: only they can do the creation of such beauty.
- Ashen. The theme of this article is devoted to just this shade. Color refers to the cold gamut and therefore it is almost impossible to get it at home. When choosing a coloring composition, extreme care must be taken.
- Wheat The hue is unusually attractive and unique. Not only is it found in nature in extremely rare cases, it’s also quite difficult to get it. Under different lighting conditions, color can look different: from light blond to coffee tones.
- Average. For many girls in the wish list, it is the medium-brown ash shade that is in the leading position. Its intensity is much higher than that of the options listed above. Nevertheless, it cannot be called dark. The color looks as natural and proper due to this and is able to attract the attention of the opposite sex.
- Dark. Here, the result of staining largely depends on the degree of qualification of the specialist. Not every woman can brag of a natural shade.
Almost the entire palette looks quite attractive, which, in fact, seduces many girls.
Nevertheless, the use of a particular tone is better coordinated with a specialist. In addition, in some cases it is impossible to do without a complete bleaching of curls.
Beauty products
For an ash-brown shade, different means may be suitable. Just keep in mind that to achieve the desired color for a long time is possible only with the help of persistent paints. In many photos, medium blond ashy hair color looks impressive.
But since ammonia is contained in these compounds, the hair in any case will suffer to a greater or lesser extent. Moreover, it all depends on the correctness of the procedure. In relation to light curls, it will be sufficient to use only tinting agents.
Tinting Hair Balms
The tinting balms contain a large amount of coloring pigment, but there is no oxidizing agent. The paint is not able to penetrate deep into the hair and remains only on the surface of the shaft. In this regard, it is easily washed off. Among the balms effective means can be considered the following:
- "Tonic". The series is represented by a wide range of colors: from pearl to dark shades under the numbers 8.10, 9.02, 9.10, 7.10 and others.
- Estelle The Quality SoloTon line includes dark and light ashy colors numbered 1.14, 1.16.
- "Londa." This brand offers a choice of three main ash shades: 6.4, 6.5, 6.6.
It should be borne in mind that the balms contain a purple pigment, so do not overexpose them. Otherwise, instead of an attractive medium blond ash color, an image of Malvina may turn out, which not every girl will suit. In addition, such an image is relevant for any festive event, but not for everyday wear.
Shading hair shampoos are on sale, which are a safe alternative to persistent ammonia dyes. However, the pigment in them is much less than in balms. Their main purpose is to neutralize yellowness and maintain shade. They are not related to direct staining.
Paint for curls
There is a fairly wide range of persistent paints to give your hair an ash-blond shade. What is characteristic, absolutely all leading manufacturers have this gamut mandatory. And all thanks to the fact that the ash-blond color effectively hides gray hair. That is why this gamut is used by most women of advanced age.
Among specialists, the following colors of medium-ash blond shade are especially held in high esteem:
- "Londa." The main palette of the Londacolor series is represented by several ash tones (from light to dark): 12/1, 10/1, 9/1, 8/1, 7/1, 6/1. At the same time, paints can be mixed together, which allows you to achieve your own desired shade.
- Garnier. The Color Sensation line contains the finest reflective particles and natural oils. Due to this, the hair acquires not only a persistent color, but also a magnificent shine. There are two pearl shades: 10.21 (suitable for blondes) and medium blond 7.12.

When choosing a particular resistant paint, one important point should be taken into account.
