Each shade of dark blond color has its own characteristics. For monochromatic staining, you should choose a cold shade, but for a stylish ombre - a warm range. A dark blond color is created using tint balms, paints or henna. There are many ways of highlighting, in which a dark blond color is used in individual strands, creating an addition to the natural look.
When gray hair appears, it is better to dye it in darker shades, but do not forget the rules about harmony with skin color. To create a complete look, make-up should be applied in a light tone; for lips, use a pale pink or coral color. If a girl goes to dinner, then the evening makeup smoky eyes will look very impressive.
The female sex is so changeable in nature, depending on your mood you want to change something in your appearance. Therefore, stylists came up with such a procedure as highlighting. This is a way to add color to the hair, creating unique looks. The structure of the curls will not be damaged due to the fact that only individual strands are painted. Combining different palettes, the hairstyle becomes much brighter. For example, by coloring individual parts of your hair (ends or bangs), you can emphasize a stylish haircut or attractive features.

California method
The principle of dyeing using this method is to apply dye to the hair without first wrapping it in foil. The paint is applied to the curls with a brush with a sweeping motion, while the strands that are not dyed create beautiful overflows and provide a soft transition. This technique creates the effect of naturally burnt hair under the hot sun. In staining, there is no touch with the root zone, therefore it is considered the most gentle. A gentle and smooth transition from natural to lighter is a fashion trend this year.

In order not to injure the curls, paints without ammonia are used.

Balayazh and shatush
The technique of highlighting in several tones is performed. In this case, the master must achieve an ideally soft transition from one to another, for this we advise you to choose several similar shades. This method of highlighting looks very impressive on dark blond hair.

Reverse highlighting
This type of highlighting involves restoring a natural, darker color. This technology is practiced on the hair, which has undergone the highlighting procedure more than once, while the pattern and strands do not stand out. The coloring process is carried out as in the classic highlighting, however, a darker shade is chosen.

What shades to choose?
Natural hair color plays an important role in choosing the right shade for highlighting. The dark blond color is distinguished by its versatility. The tone of the strand can be chosen lighter or to give depth to the color using dark shades. Bright colors will suit teenagers, and young girls should not experiment. The most stylish and noble will look like alternating strands in the same color scheme. For owners of light blond hair in warm shades, beige, hazel or reddish colors are suitable. Platinum, coffee or chocolate tones can be used to create a colder shade.
You need to be careful with black, because the result will turn out to be undesirably gray and dull. The use of black will give a contrasting look, however, it will emphasize all the flaws in appearance.
If you still want to try this color, then it is better to choose a lighter shade. For example, you can try chocolate or brown tones. Thanks to these shades, women of more mature age will look much younger.

Girls who have black curls are recommended to combine highlighting with a deep red tint. Visually, such staining will add density and volume to the hair. You can dye some parts of the curls, for example, the bangs or strands that frame the face.
When choosing the right shade for highlighting, we recommend taking into account several important points.
- With a weakened hair structure, you should choose a technique that is most gentle. It is worth dwelling on the American technique or partial highlighting.
- Light, red or gold strands are suitable for a dark blonde beauty, using the balayazh and shatush technique.
- On a short haircut, an ombre will look perfect.

With the right choice of colors, the skin of the face will look fresh, which makes the girl much younger.
Hair coloring of various lengths
Highlighting hair of different lengths is distinguished by the method of coloring and application technique. One type of highlighting is more suitable for long ones, the other for short ones. To determine which type of highlighting is right for you, you should describe in detail each hair length and its structure separately.
Long
Naturally, owners of long and healthy hair can experiment with any kind of coloring. Highlights with highlights, soft blends or ombre - the choice is yours. The main thing is to choose the right shade - and the curls will take on a gorgeous look.For the master, this is a flight of fantasies.
If the girl has natural wavy curls, then the technique of creating highlights looks spectacular, each time you move, different shades will appear. On straight long hair, try highlighting balayage or shatush. The only disadvantage of highlighting on long hair is the cost. It will take a lot of paint, but the result will surpass itself. We recommend doing coloring in the salon, as you can get an undesirable effect at home. The process is also quite laborious and time consuming, it can last about 4 hours. In order to speed up the procedure, many professionals prefer to use the California method of highlighting.

Average
When highlighting curls of medium length, it should be noted that the method of applying paint is used with foil or open (Californian). The use of a hat is irrelevant.
Choose a color scheme in accordance with the shade of natural hair. All types of highlighting will look beautiful, it all depends on the desire.

Short
For owners of short haircuts, classic highlighting is performed using a hat. If a more complex dyeing technology is used, then foil is used. Partial or asymmetric highlighting looks beautiful. However, the most popular way among bob haircuts is ombre.
