Thousands of years have passed since the first cave beauty dyed her hair in an unusual color using natural dyes. And all this time, women did not stop experimenting, rejoicing in success, falling into despair from failures and again making bold attempts to improve their appearance. At the moment, the beauty industry annually spends millions of dollars on development and research, and fashionistas all over the world can achieve any, even the most exotic shade of strands. In 2015, cherry hair color came into fashion. Many domestic and foreign movie stars and show business flaunt with bright curls. So, soon, city fashionistas will take this into their arsenal.
Cherry shades
Hair colors are different today, and it is far from always possible to correctly determine whether a particular tone belongs to a specific palette. So, world experts and fashion gurus do not stop arguing about which colors should include cherry shades. Some with foam at the mouth prove that it is a red group of flowers. Others do not give up one iota and insist that these are red shades. However, in between debates, they unanimously agreed to single out three subspecies of cherry color:
- Dark cherry color. He is restrained, not screaming. It is very similar to brown, but differs from it in a noble reddish radiance. Some manufacturers call it "black cherry".
- Cherry red. It is the color of ripe cherries. That is how it was dubbed by most manufacturers. This is a very bright and daring shade. In nature, of course, you will not find such hair.
- Cherry brown. Playful color with a touch of red. Allows you to create a more vivid image without radical and extravagant steps.
Cherry blossom: the opinion of others
If a lady decided to change the color of her hair and turned her eyes to cherry shades, then she can definitely be called bold. Lost in the crowd will now be impossible. And the first reaction of others will be ambiguous.
A young lady, having painted her “feathers” in such a bright color, can instantly lose the favor of seventy-year-old fashion experts sitting proudly at the entrance. In a jiffy, a brave girl will turn from a “good girl from a decent family” into a “profesetka contacting a bad company.” And many conservative teachers will not approve of such an eccentric trick. Older ladies, having made such an extravagant change of image, may encounter misunderstanding on the part of bosses and partners. Well, and, of course, less determined rivals will not remain in debt and plenty of whispering behind their backs. But this is all nonsense. The main thing is that the representatives of the opposite sex also like themselves. And men are very fond of and pay attention to bright young ladies. However, there is one but. Red is the color of fire, and therefore the color of danger. Modest and indecisive men do not start a conversation with a fiery beauty. But the bold and assertive will gladly rush to storm this fortress.

How to keep color for long?
No matter how good the paint, the color will fade and fade over time. To maintain brightness, do not neglect the advice of specialists:
- Only clean hair should be dyed. Applying the composition to a dirty head is a relic of the past. Old aggressive paints did less damage to hair if it was covered with a layer of sebum. Current gentle dyes cannot always overcome such a barrier. As a result, the pigment penetrates poorly into the hair and is not fixed.
- Reduce the use of hair sprays. They dry and open the scales of the hair. The pigment is washed away and fades faster.
- You should regularly use shampoo and balm for colored hair.
- Once a week, do masks and compresses to nourish and moisturize your hair.
Following these simple recommendations, the color can be saved for a long time. However, after 6-8 weeks, the painting will have to be repeated.
