Who is it suitable for?
Before opting for a color dye using especially bright or acidic tints, consider the fact that such a hairstyle should be combined with your lifestyle and profession. If you work for yourself and are not limited to a different kind of dress code or are a representative of a creative profession, then bright strands will most likely successfully complement your image.
But if your occupation is connected with official events, children's or social institutions, then too bright hair may not make a pleasant impression, you will be taken lightly.
This can ultimately negatively affect your career growth. Therefore, in such cases, use a color tint to a minimum.
If we take into account the original hair color, then bright strands are suitable for owners of any natural shade. However, for each color, certain combinations look the most advantageous. If you are not going to dye the strands completely, then a combination of cold shades, for example, blue or purple, is perfect for natural dark hair, various shades of red will also look beautiful.
For blondes, you can create the effect of a pearl shimmer on the hair, use pale pink or lilac tones. It is the owners of light strands that most often paint over their hair with color completely, because there is no need for additional bleaching. Sometimes, if a bright color is used as an accent, blondes choose a few curls and give them the desired rich tone.
Fair-haired young ladies should choose a color scheme based on their own natural pigment. If your hair is dominated by cold blond, opt for different shades of blue or blue-green. If your natural color has a warmer pigment, then you can safely afford to use pink or even brighter shades for coloring.
If you want to combine natural red with colored strands, then turquoise is a good option. Also, red-haired girls are perfect for a colored ombre using a red or golden tone.
It must be remembered that the degree of hair damage is an important criterion.If you have dry brittle strands, then it is not recommended to add color, especially if the procedure also requires lightening.
It is better to heal your curls first, making them softer and more manageable.

Separately, it is worth considering the means with which you can give the curls unusual bright shades. Each of them in its own way affects the hair, to a greater or lesser extent, damages it, so it is recommended that you familiarize yourself with the entire list of products in advance.
- Paints - the most persistent means for creating bright colors. They can be on a variety of bases - natural, chemical or physical. Depending on this, the degree of damage caused to the hair during the dyeing process is determined. Natural formulations contain plant extracts of various plants, are less persistent, but more beneficial to the health of curls. Physical and chemical dyes are presented in a wider palette, but at the same time they are not so safe for the hair structure.
