Graphite hair dyes: who suits this color?

In search of fresh ideas for their image, modern women of fashion often resort to dyeing their hair with interesting tones of the color palette. This season, the trend continues to dye the strands with a shade of graphite color. Consider who suits this color, what are its features.

Graphite color cannot be called universal. Being a neutral color scheme, it goes well with different colors of clothes. Moreover, in its tint palette, it can have varying degrees of depth and saturation. However, the color is picky about the woman's color type, and therefore it has to be selected thoroughly, otherwise it is able to age and turn the fair sex into a gray mouse.

The graphite shade is the color of a pencil lead. These are not at all ashy or gray shades. It is much darker than them, although it is not devoid of silvery overflows, similar to the reflection of metal. It is the presence of the steel subtone that makes the color attractive, and they try to accentuate this when painting, carefully choosing the most suitable technology.

The graphite color of paint can be not only dark: there is also a light tone in the palette, which differs from gray by the presence of an ebb. But getting the right shade of graphite is not so easy, because the tone of the paint in the photo and as a result of staining may not match. Much will depend on the structure of your hair.

The dark shade of graphite contrasts harmoniously with light skin and blue eyes. In this case, it perfectly emphasizes facial features.In addition, it is an excellent choice for girls with a cool color type, who have light skin, dark hair and brown eyes. In combination with a light blush, it will bring novelty to the image of brunettes, relieving their set of visual heaviness.

For girls "summer" or "autumn" such coloring is undesirable, and the reason for this is the skin tone rather than the color of the eyes and natural hair. In addition to the fact that here the age increases by at least 5 years, the set becomes, if not strange, then absurd. In this case, someone is trying to resort to mixing the shade with the addition of silver or even purple shades, but this does not save the matter: the girl turns into a young old woman.

As for the age categories, with a skilful choice of shade, the graphite color can look beautiful both on a young girl and on a lady of mature age. Of course, decorative cosmetics, its correct choice and application, will play an important role in this. This is the choice of representatives of youth subcultures, business women, office workers, athletes and even romantic natures.

To create the perfect graphite, taking into account the characteristics of specific hair, is within the power of a highly qualified professional. The fact is that in order to create a perfect shade, the stylist conducts several preparatory procedures. Considering that yellowness may appear during painting, colorants and correctors have to be used to obtain a graphite shade. The color can appear black and steel, or even resemble wet asphalt.

Therefore, contacting the salon may not give a quick result, because the preparation, depending on the characteristics of the hair, can take up to three weeks. This staining does not use a persistent dye. The specialist will select the desired shade himself, mixing correctors in the required proportions. Of course, you can also resort to self-painting with ready-made cosmetic preparations, which are now sold in stores in the widest range. But it is far from always possible to achieve the desired result.

Painting can be done in a variety of ways. If you carry out preliminary preparation with highlighting, you can apply techniques such as Air Touch, highlighting, balayazh, shatush or even pixel painting. In each case, it is necessary to study the features of the techniques, since each of them has its own nuances. As for the procedure in the salon, the masters use a mix of dyes for this, without using ready-made paint from the store.

The calculation is performed based on the client's base color. At the same time, purple pigment is really added to the mass as a neutralizer of yellowness. In addition to it, a silvery dye is included in the cocktail, and the calculation is made based on the hair color, which turned out after washing off the oxidizer.

Before dyeing, the condition of the hair is assessed. Graphite, whether it be dark or light shades, attracts the attention of others. If the curls are sick, brittle and lifeless, this hairstyle will look sloppy. You cannot wash your head before painting, it is advisable to wash it 3 days before the procedure.

To lighten the strands, use Blondex paint: in a separate container, mix 30 grams of powder with an oxidizing agent. After that, the mass is distributed over the strands in accordance with the selected lightening technique. If necessary, in this case, use a foil, which is removed after the clarification time indicated on the package of the drug has elapsed.Then the paint is washed off with shampoo, the balm is applied for 3 minutes, and then it is also washed off.

Graphite paint is applied after dividing the head into several sections, moving towards the crown. They paint the hair gently, taking thin strands, distributing the paint over them with a special brush. After that, they paint the whiskey, and then the bangs (if any). At the end, the dye is washed off.

Regardless of what technology was used to color the hair, you need to take note of a few useful recommendations of stylists. Improper care leads not only to a loss of shade depth: the strands become dull and lifeless. Sometimes they even break down, and even begin to fall out. In order to prevent this and restore hair after dyeing as quickly as possible, it is important to follow the basic rules of care.

• Do not pull your hair frequently after dyeing. They need peace for a speedy recovery.
• You cannot wash your hair with too hot water, this will wash out the paint very quickly.
• Shampoo for shampooing must be selected with a gentle effect, the same applies to the conditioner.
• In the first weeks after painting, the use of thermal styling products should be limited.
• Hair masks can be made, but not oily masks, as they wash out the pigment. Particularly dangerous is coconut oil, which can lighten dark graphite several tones at a time.
• You cannot wash your hair every day, this will change both the structure of the hair and wash out the graphite shade.

Hair may need color correction some time after dyeing. To do this, you can use ready-made correctors, adding them to the dye at the next staining. Someone prefers to use toning cosmetic preparations.
