The female nature is this: you always want to have something that is not given by nature. Curly hair - straighten, straight - curl, light make darker, and black - lighten. Owners of Slavic appearance, blond hair and bright eyes are ready to do anything to make their appearance more contrasting and bright: lighten to a platinum blonde or dye their hair in burning black. Natural eyebrows also tend to repaint in a more saturated deep color. And who would have thought that bright brunettes also dream of changing their natural type of appearance?
A bit of history
The desire to change has gone since ancient times. In ancient Greece and Rome, the owners of the hair of the color of the black wing brightened their hair in every possible way, since blond curls were a sign of prosperity and prosperity. Various powders made from herbs were used. After applying such brightening agents, it was necessary to spend several hours under the scorching sun, the hair “burned out”, acquiring the desired golden hue. Fortunately, today, to recolor black eyebrows and black hair, you do not need to spend the whole day on the beach. The modern beauty industry offers other ways.
What hair color is suitable for a natural brunette
Changing your natural character, you need to be guided not only by your desires, but also by common sense. It is unlikely that a girl with black eyebrows and black hair will become more beautiful with bleached white curls. When choosing a new hair color, it is better to start from the skin tone.
Fairly rare, but very beautiful type of appearance - light, almost porcelain skin, black eyes, black eyebrows. What color of hair besides black can suit such a beauty? Definitely cold to emphasize skin tone. It can be dark or medium blond, cold brown or even red with a cold, that is, a purple undertone. Blue-black or deep eggplant will also look beautiful. Copper shades should be avoided. Golden hair color for black eyebrows and such skin tone is not suitable.
Another type of brunette has a warm, bronze skin tone. Eye color can be from cognac and dark brown to black. Such girls quickly sunbathe, and their skin acquires a luxurious chocolate color. Therefore, the hair wants to add a little bronze and gold. Beautifully accentuates the skin the effect of sunburned hair dyed using the ombre or crank technique. Light and dark chocolate shades are also suitable. Not the best options are cold blond and contrast highlighting.
Black hair features
The natural color of hair is determined by pigments - pheomelanin and eumelanin. The first is light pigment, the second is dark. The quantity and their ratio in the hair is different for blondes and brunettes.
Black eyebrows and black hair are more difficult to lighten due to the granular structure of pigments. Therefore, in order to achieve the perfect blonde and keep the hair in good condition, you need to carry out several dyeing procedures.
This applies not only to the hair, but also to the eyebrows of natural burning brunettes. Changing the shade of curls, you need to adjust the shade of the eyebrows to harmonize the color type. But hard and black hairs of eyebrows are not so easy to stain. There is one secret about which a little later.
Persistent or Tinted Dye
One of the safest staining methods is tinting with tint dyes. They do not contain ammonia and hydrogen peroxide, but, however, they do not last very long on the hair. It is impossible to change the black color of hair with the help of such a product, but to give them a light shade and shine is quite real. When choosing a tinted mousse or balm, give preference to bright red or bright purple, they will give the strands a light unobtrusive glow. Other colors, such as mahogany or chocolate, on black hair are barely noticeable.
For more radical changes, permanent dyes and brightening agents are suitable. To make the natural black hair color lighter than two or three tones, they must first be discolored to the desired depth of tone, and then tinted to the desired shade.
Safe dyeing for dark hair
The fashion for dyeing of the last few years is aimed at minimizing trauma to the hair structure. The effect of the procedure is aimed at creating a natural and fresh image.
Techniques such as highlighting, bronding, shatushu and ombre, will help to achieve a lighter hair with the effect of sun-burnt, but at the same time very well-groomed hair. Depth of tone can vary from light flare to light blond with soft tints. The roots with this staining leave their color, or tint close to their native. Lightened strands are tinted in light chocolate, caramel or ashy. For a brighter bold image - in red, fiery red, pink or blue.
How to Make Dark Eyebrows Lighter
Do black eyebrows and fair hair fit together? Sometimes yes, but to make the look lighter and more feminine, it’s better to make the eyebrows a bit lighter. Brown, graphite, copper paint or henna for eyebrows is unlikely to cope with the burning brunette's eyebrows. The result will either be weakly noticeable or not noticeable at all. But this is not a reason to despair. Too dark eyebrows can be lightened with a special tool. One of the most famous products is the ReflectoCil brand lightening eyebrow cream. Eyebrows lighten up to three tones.
It is necessary to mix a little paint with an oxidizing agent and mix thoroughly. Degrease the surface of the eyebrows and apply a thick paint to the hairs. After 10 minutes, rinse with a damp cotton pad. Now you can apply any desired color to light eyebrows.
Eyebrow color for brunette
There are several opinions about how the color of eyebrows and hair should be combined correctly. It used to be that eyebrows should be at least a tone darker today, which is a tone or two lighter. So which eyebrows for black hair are perfect?
Fashion is fashion, but everything is very individual. If a natural burning brunette is happy with her hair and does not want to change their color, is it possible to leave black eyebrows and black hair? Here again we pay attention to the skin tone, as well as to the facial features and the natural shape of the eyebrows.
Black eyebrows can be left intact if they do not make the face heavier and do not emphasize age-related changes. For those with dark-skinned tanned skin and dark hair color, black eyebrows go very well, but with large facial features and a very broad natural shape, slight correction and coloring in a warm dark brown color are acceptable.
“Snow White”, who want to emphasize the pallor of the skin, can also leave black eyebrows, but if you do not want to focus on this, you can repaint it in graphite or cold brown.
How to be colored brunettes
The desire to change may come to dyed brunettes. Here difficulties may begin. After repeated dyeing with black paint, the ends of the hair accumulate a large amount of pigment, which is not easy to get rid of. There are several options to make your hair brighter.
- Acid Wash. This is the most gentle way to wash off the paint. The Estel brand “Color Off” has such a drug. Quick lightening can be achieved if the black paint touched your hair three to four times. If you haven’t parted with a dark color for several years, you will have to be patient and repeat the washing procedure several times.
- Alkaline wash. This procedure is best done by the master hairdresser, since you need to know the proportions of mixing the preparations and constantly monitor the clarification process.
- Grow natural hair color. It's a long time, but you don’t have to hurt your curls. The roots during the growing process can be tinted with a tint balm or foam, for example, Igora “Expert Mousse” or Syoss “Color activator”.
Good to be a brunette
If the procedures for changing the image scared you a little and sowed a grain of doubt, it does not matter. Here are a few reasons to leave such a gift as dark hair, black eyebrows intact:
- Many icons of fashion, style and simply incredibly beautiful women are burning brunettes, natural or not: Audrey Hepburn, Vivien Leigh, Monica Bellucci, Salma Hayek, Penelope Cruz, Dita von Teese.
- Brunettes can do without makeup. Black fluffy eyelashes and well-defined eyebrows are something that blondes and Russians have to work on every morning.
- You can wear clothes in bright contrasting colors. Girls of a more muffled type of appearance are “lost” in bright outfits, and only brunettes can adequately “wear” a red dress, even in the early morning.
