How to choose a hair color for brunettes?

Nowadays, it's quite easy to change your own appearance. However, hair color is a factor that can completely change the first impression of a person. Thanks to this, you can both create a bright, unique look, and completely lose yourself and merge with the crowd. To prevent this from happening, you need to know some rules and tips recommended by stylists.

In order not to be mistaken with the choice of the image and choose the color that will change life for the better, you need to know your type. The definition of "brunette" includes not only a burning coal color, but also includes shades from black to chestnut:

• Raven wing (black, casting barely visible blue);
• the black;
• bitter (or black) chocolate (aka dark chocolate);
• dark coffee;
• dark blond;
• chestnut;
• milk chocolate.

Hence the separation of all brunettes into two types - warm and cold, belonging to which is determined not only by the shade of the hair, but also by the color of the skin and the pigment of the eyes.

The warm type includes the owners of chestnut, chocolate or light brown hair with golden and reddish tint. Brown eyes (rarely - dark green, dark gray), dark or even olive skin color. Sometimes freckles are present (for example, Esmeralda and Pocahontas from Disney cartoons).

Such girls are suitable golden or reddish, fiery shades, for example, you can ask the master to light some strands a little before getting a copper shade or warm caramel color. It is wise to treat too defiant yellow flowers or the usual blond - a combination of dark skin and yellow hair few people dye. To facilitate the search is to remember the numbers 3, 4, 7, as well as the letters R, K, W.

This image is popular since the era of romanticism, as it is based on contrasts: hair, deep dark color and light, porcelain skin. Eyes of light colors - from transparent blue to the color of fresh spring grass (Mulan or Snow White from the same Disney studio). Pretty gothic image, so if you do not want to increase your gloom, then you should not choose rich black shades, as there is a risk to turn into a beautiful, but absolutely lifeless doll. Very beautiful cold platinum and ashy tones also suit fair-skinned beauties, but it is worth remembering that such a combination can make the owner look older by a few years.

To simplify the search, manufacturers often label such coloring agents either with numbers 1 and 6 or with the letters C, F, V, PL. Or you can use toners or tinted shampoos for coloring - this layout allows you to change a little on your own, without the help of a wizard. And if the color does not like it, then he will come down himself in a couple of weeks.

The best option for carriers of both cold and warm type is to change your native color by a couple of shades. This will preserve the naturalness and the hair will suffer much less than with prolonged dyeing in a completely opposite color. Hair care, painted in color close to the native, will take much less time and regrown roots will not become a noticeable problem.

Another way to choose a suitable variant of coloring is to correlate the planned result of the color with the shade of your eyes. This will create a harmonious design for the skin and, with the right selection, will reveal the beauty and richness of the pigment of the iris of the eye. Owners of dark pigment eyes (black, dark brown) is recommended to stay on the paint as close as possible to the native color scheme - bitter chocolate, dark blonde, dark chestnut. These are the main shades, but between them there are many sub-hues, so that everyone can choose something appropriate, the main thing is to focus on the three main shades.

Colors that visually dim the brightness of dark eyes (not recommended):

• rich wine (burgund);
• shades of ashen;
• eggplant (and similar shades of purple);
• nordic blond;
• Blonde saturated yellow shade.

These colors tend to reduce the brightness of the eyes, but emphasize the skin color, which can look somewhat unnatural. The maximum light color acceptable for dark-eyed girls is light-blond, while highlighting and incomplete hair coloring is sandy.

Light-eyed beauties are very rich colors, up to black and dark chestnut. This will give the look depth and expressiveness. Colors that are not recommended for girls with dark eyes — all shades of wine, ashen and violet — should also be considered suitable. The principle of contrast will work - dark or bright hair will shade bright eyes well. Shades of ashy can give the look of coldness, but it will be a very emotionally saturated coldness that will remain in people's memory for a long time and will not allow mixing with a crowd of similar people.

If you choose a tone in accordance with the skin tone, you can get an incredibly harmonious, gentle, but at the same time, bright and memorable image. It has its own features and rules that you need to know.

Girls with dark skin will suit the entire dark range from black to milk chocolate. This will emphasize the line of the cheekbones and the shape of the eyebrows, as well as give mystery It is necessary to be afraid of too light, cold shades: such colors very seldom go to bronze-skinned beauties, and if you are not among them, you will get too lurid appearance.

Owners of light skin tones — yellowish or pinkish-peach — will suit reddish, copper, gold and honey tones. The colors will overlap with each other, creating a gentle but incredibly lively image. You should choose non-flashy colors, otherwise there is a risk of just being lost against the background of hair. You can use the chocolate palette, in this case, the use of saturated colors is welcome.

To cool skin - porcelain, pale or just light - should choose the color range from light brown to sand color. The main thing - do not go in pure white! If you want something light and cold, you can choose shades of platinum blond, light golden colors, or choose the option of coloring salt with pepper. To slightly muffle the image, you should choose an amber color or a color of liquid caramel.So get a warmer combination, which has its own flavor. One of the bright options for pale skin - monochrome staining in burgundy. But this option is not for everyone.

Thanks to modern technologies and discoveries in the beauty industry, women are available not only the usual monochrome coloring, but also many variations that combine different colors and even color gamuts.

Coloring in two colors:

• Venetian highlighting involves the use of two to four shades. The result is a smooth transition from one color to another and light highlighting of the strands through the use of lighter shades. This type of staining makes the wearer much younger.

• Creative highlighting It is performed in only two colors, but for coloring a bright color scheme is chosen that attracts attention. One of the most common options is the bright-colored hair tips. But the most attractive way to use for this highlighting is a smooth transition from one color to another. Salt and pepper is a kind of creative highlighting.

• Ombre - an option that is increasingly gaining popularity. It has two varieties: in the first, the ends of the hair are brightened, leaving the roots natural, and in the second, they stretch from light roots to more saturated and dark ends.

• Balayazh - This is a smooth transition from one color to another using stretching. On the hair it looks very natural and soft. If at ombre the transition goes from top to bottom, then the balayazh allows for coloring of separate parts of individual strands along the entire length of the hair.

• Booking - gives the effect of individual strands faded in the sun. For coloring two or three shades are used. It is recommended to choose the tone closest to the natural hair color. Booking with a red tint looks very natural, but only if your type is warm and the hair has its own reddish tint.

• Baby lights - suitable for those who do not want to lose their natural hair color, but wants at least minimal changes. In this method of dyeing, the paint is applied to the individual strands and hair near the face. Most often it is lightening, so you get the image of a traveler whose head burned out under the scorching sun.

• Monochrome staining - hair coloring over the entire length of one tone. Looks particularly good on girls with fair skin, creating a kind of framing. It is monochrome staining like no other that emphasizes the natural expressiveness of the eyes.

Hair length matters only when brondirovanii - on long hair, this method of dyeing will look the most advantageous. For other options of dyeing, short hair is also suitable - a competent wizard will embody any desired technique and on a hair-style below the shoulders. Still, avoid a flashy, acidic palette on long hair — it will look a little defiant. Yes, if you wish, you can afford bright colors like blue, pink and others, but the emphasis should be on soft, slightly dusty shades, and not on full color saturation. Such flashy tones will look much better on short hair. All this applies only to monochrome dyeing, when highlighting, any color gamut is allowed, regardless of the length of the hair.

If you are a stinging brunette by nature, but you want to dye your hair blond or other light colors, then pay attention to your type and remember that such coloring will be quite aggressive and can cause significant harm to hair. We recommend to pay attention to the types of highlighting described above - it will cause much less damage and will look more natural.

Despite the fact that monochrome coloring and some others do not seem particularly difficult, it is strongly recommended to find a salon with an experienced colorist. Only there they will help you to choose the color, they will carry out the procedure of dyeing correctly and tell you about the care of color and hair.
