Black hair coloring

The desire to change the hair color is often associated not only with the fickle fashion, but also with the desire to update the appearance in accordance with changes in the inner world. Brunettes in this regard may have some difficulties with the choice of color, because lighter and cleaner tones are much harder to achieve because of some features of black hair. But it is possible - you just need to know the subtleties of staining in different colors.

The appearance and color of black hair are due to their morphology, and they represent the opposite of the hair of brown-haired women and blondes. The main distinguishing feature is the increased thickness and stiffness of the hair shaft due to the density of keratin flakes forming the top layertherefore, their average number is 100–110 thousand, while the owners of thinner and blonde hair have about 140 thousand.

Another feature is the predominance of eumelanin (brown pigment) over red and yellow pheomelanin, due to which the hair color is black. If a lady uses dyes that contain ammonia, or is under direct sunlight for a long time, the dark pigment is destroyed and the curls become yellowish (reddish). This explains the impossibility of coloring in too light cold tones, for example, in the Scandinavian blond.

Despite the fact that professional masters recommend dark-haired young ladies not to make drastic changes, and to change only the shade of their natural curls, brunettes can easily afford to dye in bright colors or completely discolor hair. Of course, you will have to get ready for the fact that this process will be gradual and lengthy, otherwise you can seriously damage the structure of the hair, as a result of which they will look lifeless.

It’s another thing if a black-haired fashionista is a repainted blonde or brown-haired woman, although even in this case, the old color cannot be quickly returned without damage to the hairstyle. It will not be difficult to lighten even dark hairs by 1-2 tones at home, but more extreme versions (blond) are already a hierarchy of salon masters, unless, of course, you shouldn't aim to spoil your hair completely.

There are several options that black-haired ladies can resort to.

• Perhaps the closest shade to black is graphite., the color is really reminiscent of pencil lead, while having a steel shimmer. This is a fashion trend that in many cases softens the image of the owners of dark curls, but it is not recommended for mature women with a pronounced withering of the face, as it emphasizes age. It is difficult to achieve such a shade on your own, so it’s better to go to the hairdresser right away in order to carry out the dyeing of black hair professionally.

• Chestnut, brown tones and all shades of this palette - A good choice for a brunette. Given that the lady has brown or green eyes, it is better to choose reddish tones: chocolate, golden and reddish brown. If the color of the eyes is dark, blue or gray - cold, ashy, coffee shades, mocha.Based on the fact that lightening hair will have no more than 4 colors, with a neat dyeing hair will suffer minimally.

• Brunettes with green, blue and brown eyes, as well as fair skin will do different shades of red tone: honey, gold, reddish, golden orange. Looks good on black hair shatush and ombra, other modern styles. True, any such shade should be superimposed on the pre-clarified strands.

• Coveted by many dark women cool light brown color represents a certain difficulty. When lightening, the hair will still remain yellowish, and you will need to regularly use special tonic tonic, so experts advise not to suffer, but to choose warm options: golden, caramel, bronze, amber, they are also called autumn.

The radical version of painting is discoloration, but on this account all masters have a negative opinion. This procedure provides clarification of almost 9 tones, which means a real catastrophe for hair. Such changes are particularly difficult to make on thick hair, characteristic of brunettes. You can do it for 2-3 times with thin hair. However, in practice, most dark-haired fashionistas soon realize that they have made a mistake: they feel discomfort in the new color.

So, in order to paint black curls and transform from a brunette to a blonde, there are technologies that imply such actions:

• First, you need to use a wash that slightly neutralizes the natural pigment, and then you need to brighten up 1–6 tones to get brown, red and brown shades;
• with dyed black hair, you should remove (wash off) the paint, and only then do correction of shade;
• discoloration can completely destroy the dark pigment, but then you have to tint with a tonic that neutralizes yellowness.

The easiest way is to use the services of professionals, because only they know exactly how to carry out the staining, which components and in which safe concentration are used. If there are still traces of henna staining on the hair, it is better to postpone bleaching altogether, since the result of the procedure may be unexpected.

There is always a variant of partial coloring, for example, on short black hair, this type of painting as “veil” or “feathers” looks great; Perhaps someone will like the Krazy Colors technique, which includes coloring using blue, green, pink and other shades.

It is possible to paint the hair with one's own hand, but one should not particularly rely on the desired result - in most cases, black hair can only be lightened.

For dyed strands suitable chemical dyes, such as washing, special shampoos and pickle, or folk remedies.

1. Wash It is better to use in extreme cases, because it can burn the hair, which then becomes brittle and starts to fall out. Blondoran will help to remove black paint. The tool is applied to dry hair in accordance with the instructions and is maintained for a specified time. After that it is necessary to use a nourishing and moisturizing balm.
2. By mordant hydrogen peroxide or any agent with this component in the composition. Pharmaceutical solution is better to pour into the sprayer and, using a towel and gloves, apply to clean dried hair. Keep on hair will take no more than an hour, and then rinse thoroughly using an air conditioner.

These ingredients are mixed with burdock or olive oil, applied to the hair, and then wrapped around the head with cellophane and a woolen scarf. This allows you to gradually lighten your hairstyle.

Natural black hair can also be discolored by folk methods or use chemical dyes. In this case, it is advisable to choose the means of cold tones to avoid a yellow tint. For this, it is better to purchase professional paints, for example Estel. For a light brown or light red color, it is better to take shades No. 8.9 and 10, for light brown shades — No. 12.
