To face an ash blond shade of hair
Ash shade of hair can transform the appearance, make it gentle and visually "throw off" the owner of this color for several years. Or, on the contrary, it can give a painful and tired look to the skin and eyes. How to understand who suits a light ash blond shade of hair? First you need to determine your color type.
- Winter color type - dark or bright blue eyes, skin - white. The white of the eyes creates a clear contrast with the color of the iris. In general, the appearance of "winter" girls can be called very contrasting. And they also need bright hair color that attracts attention. Ash, gentle shades of hair will make the appearance of girls of the winter color type painful and inexpressive.
- Girls of the summer color type have a light eye color - gray, light green, etc. Protein does not contrast with the iris. The skin, as a rule, is light and does not succumb to tanning (reddens and burns). Light blond ash shade of hair perfectly complements the appearance of such girls, making them young, gentle and innocent. For women of the summer color type, ash shades of light brown hair color help to look younger. Light cold shades are an ideal solution for both young women of the summer color type and for those who are already aged.
- Girls of spring and autumn color type, as a rule, naturally have reddish, copper or brown hair. They are quite difficult to repaint with light brown ash paint. A natural redhead will always manifest itself after shampooing. Therefore, they should be patient and constantly maintain a cold undertone. If the skin tone is excessively warm, then it is better to immediately abandon the idea of dyeing the hair in a cold shade, as the skin tone will cause a discord with the color of the hair. Owners of brown eyes should also pay attention to caramel and copper tones, and not to cold ashy.
A variety of dyes for hair in the beauty market
Ash is a truly cold shade, it is very beautiful, but it is also difficult to achieve. If by nature a redhead is given to the hair, then it will constantly be visible in the mass of hair after washing and styling. Therefore, the main task is to choose a high-quality dye that will block undesirable yellowness and redhead for a long time.
- Permanent dyes are very persistent and remain in the hair cuticle for a long time. Of course, this is the best choice for those who are confident in their desire to paint themselves in light blond ashen. The paint will wash off, but very slowly. In addition, permanent dyes contain quite a lot of ammonia, which destructively affects the structure of the hair. After the dyeing procedure, care should be taken from professional products that will allow the hair to return elasticity and prevent brittleness and cross-section.
- Ammonia-free paints contain a lot of components that care for the cuticle of the hair - plant extracts, keratin, argan and other oils. Of course, after using such a paint, light brown ashy hair looks completely healthy - shiny, thick. But there is a minus. Ammonia-free paints are quite unstable and are washed out after a couple of weeks. The color fades, yellowness and redness appear. Therefore, the staining procedure will have to be carried out more often, which will entail financial costs. Ammonia-free dyes, as a rule, are more expensive than permanent.
Is it necessary to lighten hair before toning?
If the hair is darker than the 7th level of the tone, then before dyeing, you will have to lighten them. Otherwise, the dye simply cannot sufficiently penetrate the cuticle. The result either will not be at all, or “dirt” will turn out.
Lightening can be carried out both in the cabin and at home. You can lighten your hair with a powder or cream, pre-mixed in the right proportion with an oxidizing agent.
Dyes from Estel: light brown ash at home
Estelle is the most popular manufacturer of professional dyes today. You can use them at home. This is a high-quality and affordable hair dye.
