Dark blond hair color: shades and dyeing technology

Every woman has changed her hair color at least once in her life. And this is not surprising, because hair coloring is a relatively safe procedure that allows you to radically or partially change your image in a short period of time. Lately, even Hollywood stars are opting for natural hair color, and dark blond is one of the popular shades.

Dark blond hair color used to be called "mouse" and tried to get rid of it in different ways. But with the development of the fashion industry, constantly changing global trends and the appearance of hair dyes with various shades, the color nevertheless gained its popularity. He, like other shades, has both advantages and disadvantages.

One of the main advantages of this color is its naturalness. After all, different shades of this color are quite common, which means that even dyed hair will look as natural as possible. Hair, dyed in a beautiful dark blond shade, always looks luxurious, rich, but at the same time unpretentious. The owner of dark blond hair always looks fresh and feminine, as the color allows you to smooth out even the roughest facial features.

Dark blond hair color suits almost any lady. It is impossible to spoil the appearance with this color, the main thing is to choose the exact shade. The dark blond shade is perfect for ladies who prefer dark tones, but do not accept black hair. Besides, dark blond does an excellent job of painting over gray hair, which is important for women of age... Any shade gets boring over time, but changing it to another is not always easy. Dark blond, in contrast to black, can be changed to ash blond, and this can be done quite quickly and without much harm to the hair structure.

The shade must be selected correctly, otherwise even the most pretty and not yet old young ladies may visually seem older than they really are. The wrong choice, of course, is not fatal, but dyeing does not have the best effect on the hair structure, so the exact choice of tone is important. Another minus of the dark blond color is the presence of initially shiny and silky hair. All shades of this color look beautiful only on healthy hair, and, unfortunately, not every lady can boast of such.

The disadvantages of this color can also be attributed to its gradual washout. Of course, almost all dyes are gradually washed out, but not all of them acquire a greenish tint, like a dark blond color.

Although the dark blond color is versatile and suits many ladies with different skin tones, eye color and hair length, there are still some nuances that you need to know before buying a paint. For owners of long and medium (shoulder-length) hair, dark blond is perfect, because it is he who best emphasizes both natural density and natural shine.

The shape of the face also matters. A dark blond color, coupled with an oval or round face type, looks great. But for the owners of a triangular or square type, this tone is not suitable at all, since it is able to visually emphasize not only the angularity of the forms, but also add a few extra years. The condition of the skin, oddly enough, also affects the choice of tone. The more ideal the skin of the face looks, the better the dark blond color will look.

Dark blond has different shades, and therefore the combination of skin tone and eye color should also be considered when choosing a paint. For owners of brown eyes and dark skin, dark blond with a golden or reddish tint is more suitable. But green-eyed or blue-eyed ladies should choose an ashy shade. Gray-eyed beauties will like a color with a reddish or even reddish tint, since it is he who is best able to emphasize the color of the eyes, make it rich and bright.

For owners of amber eyes, it is better to opt for cold tones, in which there is a purple pigment. It gives the main color a dark and rather saturated tone, which makes the eye shape extraordinary attractive, and the color brightness. An important point for ladies who have decided on a shade is the condition of the hair. Before painting, you should definitely put them in order. Split ends should be trimmed, as this blemish will be noticeable after staining.

The palette of dark blond color is conventionally divided into cold and warm tones.Cold tones with an ash tint are more suitable for owners of light skin types, and warm tones, which include all brown shades, will perfectly harmonize with dark skin types. Ashy hair dyes, which are more suitable for a cool color type, contain either blue or green pigments. After all, only they are able to remove the natural reddish shade of hair.

For warm tones of dark blond color, copper, golden and bronze shades are characteristic. In sunlight, hair dyed in such tones will always appear lighter than it really is. Curls painted in warm tones of dark blond will always look brighter and brighter than cold tones. To date, you can get the desired shade of dark blond with the help of both paints with and without ammonia, and with the help of tonics.

The most inexpensive is tint balm "Tonic" (shade 3.0). It contains neither ammonia nor hydrogen peroxide.

Of course, changing hair color without unpleasant consequences is best done by a professional hairdresser, since this shade is quite complex, and it is not always possible to choose it perfectly. When self-dyeing, it is not always clear what the resulting tone will be, therefore, when choosing, the original hair color is of great importance. It is he who influences the result. On hair with one tone, the shade will turn out the same as indicated in the palette, and on hair with a different tone, expectations may not be justified.

In order for the result to please, and not upset, it is necessary to take into account some of the subtleties at the stage of paint selection. The selection of a shade must be carried out only with a special palette.

If the original hair color has a light shade, and it differs from the desired one by more than 2 tones, then you will have to do at least 2 stains, otherwise you will not be able to achieve the desired result. For to make the color bright and saturated, re-staining must be done no later than 2-3 weeks after the first procedure... In 2 procedures, the amount of pigments in each hair will increase, and the hair will acquire the desired tone.

The natural dark hair color will have to be lightened before dyeing, and then toned with the selected shade. Hair dyed in dark tones (black, chestnut and other brown shades) will have to be subjected to such a procedure as a wash. And only after that, dye your hair a dark blond color. For heavily pigmented hair, this procedure is usually repeated, and for especially "clogged" cuticle with pigments, do it again.

It is quite difficult for red-haired beauties to repaint in a dark blond color, but still possible. If the redness is natural, then the paint must be chosen according to its composition, it should contain blue or blue pigments, they do the best with the red tint. If a red tint on the hair is present due to the paint, then you will have to first apply a wash and only then dye your hair a dark blond color.

You can check the selected shade for compliance with the declared color on a separate thin strand. The composition is applied to the curl, kept for the required time, washed off, and the result obtained is checked against the declared tone. If, nevertheless, doubts remain, then it is best to choose a lighter tone than a dark one, since it is easier to maneuver from light to dark than vice versa.

It is not necessary to wash your hair 1-2 days before dyeing, but at the same time, the hair should not be too dirty., and they certainly shouldn't have any styling products on them. On the packaging, the manufacturer, as a rule, indicates which hair the composition should be applied to.

If the paint was selected in accordance with all precautions, and the hair is properly prepared, then you can proceed directly to the dyeing. The compositions, and, as a rule, there are 2 of them in the box, are mixed in a container of a suitable volume. Either glass or ceramic dishes are great for this. Some paints do not require additional capacity, one composition is poured into a container with another, after which the resulting mixture is thoroughly shaken.

A special waterproof cape should be put on the shoulders, and the skin around the hair growth should be smeared with a fat cream. You can use a piece of cloth instead of a cape. And if the paint is ammonia-free, then the cream may not be used. The mixture is applied with a brush to pre-combed hair. It is better to start from the back of the head, from the root zone. But if there are gray strands, then it is best to start dyeing with the most extensive zone of their growth, since it takes a little longer to paint over gray hair than for pigmented hair. It is necessary to distribute the paint neatly and evenly along the entire length of the hair.

The exposure time depends on the specific paint, the manufacturer always indicates it on the packaging and in the attached instructions. At the end, the hair is thoroughly rinsed with warm water, and then using shampoo. After that, a nourishing balm is applied to the hair and kept for a certain time. The dyeing procedure ends with rinsing, and then drying the hair.

Dyed hair, regardless of color, always requires more thorough care than hair that has not been dyed. There are several guidelines for keeping your hair in top condition. In order for the hair, dyed in dark blond color, not to lose the brightness of the tone and remain shiny and soft as long as possible, you must use special care products. To date, there are quite a lot of such funds.

The main ones are, of course, shampoo and conditioner labeled "for colored hair." To restore the structure, it is advisable to apply a special mask with the same marking on the hair at least once a week. To maintain the structure of the hair, it is undesirable to often use an iron, curling iron and hairdryer with hot air. The heating elements of the iron and curling iron, as well as the too hot air of the hairdryer, when in contact with the hair, destroy the structure of the cuticle, and the curls become dry and lifeless. The use of a curling iron and iron should be minimized, and drying should be carried out either with a hairdryer with the supply of warm air, or without it at all.

Various styling products also have an adverse effect on colored hair. Too frequent use of varnishes, gels and mousses can lead to hair breakage, depletion, and split ends. After all, hair that has been exposed to dye is more vulnerable to the chemical composition of styling products than those that have not been dyed.

Colored hair cannot maintain its tone for a long time, since the pigments are washed out over time under the influence of shampoo. To maintain the tone, you need to purchase a tinting agent. At home, it is most convenient to use either balm or shampoo. The balm, of course, works more effectively, it will not only add shade, but also smooth and nourish the hair with useful substances. Ideally, if the tint is from the same series as the paint.

To maintain the tone of the hair, you can use not only chemical agents, but also natural ones. To give your hair a golden hue, a decoction with chamomile and lemon juice is perfect. It not only shades well, but also moisturizes the hair. You can add a brownish tint to your hair with a decoction of sage leaves. It perfectly shades and gives shine without spoiling the hair structure.
