Not all gentlemen, contrary to popular belief, prefer blondes. Recent fashion trends clearly indicate the popularity of dark-haired girls. And even brunettes often win in beauty contests. Want to know how to change from a blonde to a brunette? Then discover some secrets from professional craftsmen.
Dark blonde hair color
It is not necessary to immediately change your white curls to black locks. This is especially true for girls with blond hair by nature. You can choose dark shades of the blonde: this way your image will look more natural.
The hair of blondes with the wrong color often looks dry and lifeless. Any paint that rests on such strands will only emphasize their dull color. Therefore, before repainting from a blonde to a brunette, it is necessary to cure the hair. It is better to turn to professionals for this purpose, who will tell you the most effective means and procedures for hair restoration. Colored blondes with experience are often offered to cut short curls that are impossible to save. Get ready for a radical change.
After the hair shone, you can begin to change the color. If you are not sure about the chosen shade, then try it on locks in inconspicuous places. You can also apply a tint shampoo that will help create the impression of a future color, but will wash off in a few weeks.
For blonde with bluish or pink skin, we recommend choosing the ash shades of blond, cold blond or frosty chestnut. But for beauties with peach or yellowish cheeks, all warm colors are suitable: chocolate, sand tint, copper and dark brown.
How to repaint from a blonde to a brunette?
For girls who want to make their hair color darker, we do not recommend using natural dyes. Henna and basma are available on the market to help give the locks a golden and chocolate hue.
But dyed blondes, this option to change the image is definitely not suitable. First, synthetic and natural dyes interact very poorly with each other. In the best case, henna simply does not lie on the hair, and in the worst case, you will get a very unexpected result. Secondly, clarified strands covered with vegetable dye will acquire a greenish tint. Therefore, unnatural blondes are suitable exclusively for artificial paints. It is necessary to apply them according to all the rules:
- Before repainting from a blonde to a brunette, do an allergy test. Put a drop of paint on your wrist and wait an hour. If there are no signs such as itching, redness, rash, then you can start staining.
- Separating the hair into strands, apply paint along the entire length and distribute it with a comb with frequent teeth.
- After all the hair has been dyed, put a plastic cap on your head and wrap it with a towel.
- After the deadline specified in the instructions, rinse off the paint and strengthen the hair with balm. Do not keep the dye on your hair longer than necessary. The result will not be better, but the hair will be seriously affected.
What color is the brunette wearing?
If your experiments on giving hair a dark shade were unsuccessful, or just wanted to update the image, then consider several important nuances:
- Returning to white hair color will not be easy. In most cases, this process will take a lot of time, and several procedures will be required. To begin with, hair is bleached with a blondoran. After a while, when the locks are restored, you can begin to apply the tone. There is also the option of lightening hair by highlighting. Individual locks are gradually lightened, and the transition from dark to light occurs gently.
- Brunettes are better off choosing colors close to the base. The trend is all chocolate shades and rich chestnut. You can add reddish or copper locks to give the image a peppercorn.
- Natural dyes give dark hair an interesting brown tint. But on black hair, henna and basma are invisible.
