A lady with blond hair is rarely ignored by men, especially if her hairstyle, in addition to a beautiful shade, has a healthy shine. Natural blond is rare, but a huge number of women dye their hair in honey, strawberry, ashy shades, wanting to join the ranks of blondes.
For quite a long time, mankind has been aware of two “blond” tones - poisonous yellow and platinum. Now a variety of dyes and coloring techniques allow to combine from 2 to 7 shades on one hairstyle and make individual toning of the strands. How to choose the right shade to become a blonde?
Color features
No other shade will make the image as fragile and attractive as a blond. However, if a woman is not the owner of strands of color of melted milk from nature, then they will have to be painted. This has its advantages and disadvantages.
The benefits are many.
- Visual rejuvenation. Light shades of hair distract attention from the imperfections of the skin on the face.
- Color options great varietyas manufacturers. The probability that there is no shade - zero.
- Light shades gray hair is much more effective than dark and red tones of paint.
- Not necessarily radically lighten hairif there is no certainty that it will be to face. You can start with the strands of the face, “ombre” - stretching the color from dark to light or brightening a couple of tones.
- Depending on the color type and skin tone You can paint the strands in both cold and warm shades. The recently appeared “strawberry”, “caramel” and “lilac” blond tones will make the image more daring.
- Using multiple shades of blond in one hairstyle, it visually increases the volume, and a head of hair looks more thick and lush.
No cost staining and no cons. The most basic is the negative effect of coloring lightening substances on the hair and their structure. The clarifiers containing ammonia harm the curls, making them colorless and dry, and as a result, brittle and dull. If you constantly lighten your hair with ammonia-containing dyes, your hair will suffer very much and will look like a sponge.

What do dark tones look like?
Dark blondes are not at all absurd, and the category of young ladies with blond hair is slightly more saturated shades. For example, blond is nothing but a dark blond.It can be both cold and warm, but the first one is still more common. Blonde is the perfect option to see if you want to be blonde and lighten your hair further, or if you want brighter colors to your liking.
To warm dark blondes can be attributed to ladies, dye their hair in honey tones. As a rule, such strands are on the border with red, but have a less saturated color.

California dyeing with the effect of sun-bleached hair is extremely popular for its naturalness. Despite the fact that the roots of this dyeing are dark (due to this, the hair does not look like a “clean” blond), care for tinted locks should be more thorough than for uniformly bleached curls. Growing up, the roots lose a neat transition, “stretching” from darker to light, and Californian coloring turns into untidy dyed hair.
Dark blond light coffee-colored - one of the most natural colors of the palette. It can be as warm - with the departure in the tone of "cappuccino" and even chocolate, and cold blonde. Another way of coloring - "dirty" blond. Despite this unattractive name, in essence it is ashen or ash-blond hair, complemented by lighter strands. The effect of burnt curls looks great as a short haircut, and on the semi-long or long.

Beauties with porcelain leather fit cold colors: platinum or silver. No less impressive will look on them and ashy shades, highlighting the skin.
Platinum blond can be worn only by fair-skinned young ladies with regular features. And it is better if their original hair color is not darker than blond. Platinum is one of the most difficult shades to obtain and maintain, and the darker the hair is supposed to be dyed, the less predictable the result. Platinum tone does not imply even a hint of yellowness, so redhead girls or brunettes should choose a different color.
As for the now fashionable pearl blonde, it can be made warm and cold by choosing the appropriate subtone: ash or gold. The peculiarity of pearl tinting is that it softens facial features, highlighting them, and has a visual rejuvenating effect.
Very similar in impression to the pearl pearl blond. He also visually “throws off” for several years, slightly “photoshop” the skin due to the peculiar glow that appears in tinted hair. Mother of pearl does not contain a yellow pigment at all, it looks very noble and, importantly, creates the illusion of volume of hair and their considerable density.

As in any other case, it is better to use the series for the care of one manufacturer.
Sand curls just have a yellow outflow, and can vary both in a cold range and in a warm one. It depends on which strand is more - ashen or golden.

Strawberry blondes - a relatively new word in dyeing and toning hairHowever, for a short time, “strawberries” became wildly popular among girls seeking to be “in trend” and “on style”. As the name implies, strawberry blond has a pinkish undertone (and in some cases, frankly pink). Business ladies who strive for rigor in everything, so bold staining is unlikely to be liked, but young experimenters who love everything trendy and non-banal will be delighted. As for the color type, then most of all “strawberry” will suit “spring”.
But representatives of cold color types (“summer” and “winter”) should not be upset: they can also wear a blonde with a pink undertone. However, it will not be "strawberry", but pink quartz on the ashen background. It looks no less dignified and impressive. Many Hollywood stars have already appreciated his worth. Pink quartz especially goes for girls with dark eyes and fair skin.
