Blue-black hair color: what are the features and who suits?

Every season, changing fashion trends force women to cut or grow their hair, become blondes, be the owners of fiery red hair, or join the ranks of brunettes. Blue-black is a classic shade. However, you need to be careful with him, as he does not suit every girl.

Hair, its length and shade are of great importance in the formation of the image as a whole. The natural color given by nature does not always suit the female sex and over time you want some kind of variety. When choosing a coloring pigment, match with skin tone and eye tone should be considered. Blue-black paint has its own nuances of use and they need to be considered in more detail.

Black hair with a bluish tint suggests that their owner is a self-sufficient, self-confident, purposeful woman. She is not afraid of experiments with appearance and she has nothing to hide from others. A rich and deep shade will undoubtedly attract the eye.

Many stylists believe that dark shades make women look older. This, of course, belongs to the disadvantages. Also, due to the sharp contrast with the skin, all its imperfections will become more noticeable. If there is redness, pimples, freckles or scars, then you will have to make an effort to hide them.

Intense dark colors are considered more allergenic than chestnut or blond. Before the staining procedure, you need to weigh and think over your decision again. If suddenly the blue-black shade goes out of fashion or simply gets bored, then in order to remove it, the hair will have to be discolored. Such actions do not always have a beneficial effect on the integrity of the hair.

The type of southern beauty initially assumes a dark hair color, so bluish-black would be ideal. Against the background of tanned skin, with a minimum amount of clothes and an abundance of accessories, the image of the fatal brunette will look chic and expensive. Green or brown eyes are a reason to dye your hair black.

Female representatives of cold color types (this is winter and summer) can easily afford to repaint their hair in coal black with a blue tint. But still more harmoniously, this tone looks on girls related to a contrasting, dark and cold winter color type.

Coloring the hair with a bluish-black pigment gives the image austerity and special charm. This shade looks new on different hair lengths.

• Short haircut. The most popular haircut for short hair has been a square for a long time. A blue-black shade is harmoniously combined with it. It will be great if the square is slightly elongated. The same can be said for other short hairstyles.

• Average length. Shoulder-length hair dyed jet black with blue strands looks attractive and sets off the eyes expressively. Color and length go well with both straight and curly curls. Intricate hairstyles and styles create impressive looks.

• Long hair. It is on thick and long hair that the bluish-black color is able to convey all its saturation and depth. But to achieve it, you will have to work hard for a master colorist. Spectacular hairstyles with a play of black and various shades of blue will not leave those around you indifferent. Despite the fact that it takes a lot of time, effort and money to care for long curls, the result is worth it.

For fair-skinned girls with blue and gray eyes, blue-black hair will visually add several years and give a painful look. She will ideally fit into a delicate feminine look in combination with dark or olive skin.

In order not to look ridiculous and unnatural as a result of a radical change in hair color, it is worth listening to the opinion of professionals. Different staining techniques can be used to achieve the desired result. Each has its own tricks and nuances that only an experienced master knows. In this case, the following are used:

• monochromatic staining;
• balayazh;
• ombre;
• longitudinal coloring;
• highlighting.

At first glance, it seems that it is very easy to dye your hair black with a blue tint with a ready-made store-bought paint. But if this is done by an amateur without experience, and even at home, then there is a risk that the pigment will be unevenly distributed and this will lead to unexpected results. And since the black dye penetrates deeply into the porous structure of the hair and remains there for a long time, it will be very problematic to correct mistakes.

The most sensible solution for changing the image or correcting blue-black hair would be to go to the hairdresser-colorist in the salon or call him at home. Nobody can prohibit purchasing the paint you like on your own. The choice of coloring agents is now wide enough. Most often, this shade is chosen in the rulers:

• Loreal;
• Garnier;
• Schwarzkopf.

Balayazh, in other words, is the effect of burnt out or bleached strands. In our case, they are not burnt out, but of a blue tint, but in order for the blue pigment to hold well, you still have to lighten the hair. First you need to divide them into curls and carefully paint over on one side.In order to obtain the best result, the ends should be painted over on both sides.

If the lightening solution is not evenly distributed, the hair may also lighten unevenly. You can follow this by running your hand along the entire length of the strand. It is advisable not to use gloves for this process in order to better determine the thickness of the paint application and to prevent errors.

After the lightening pigment has dried, you need to rinse it off and dry your hair. Now black paint is applied to the root zone, and the lightened ends are covered with blue pigment. Having withstood the necessary time, the coloring matter must be removed by thoroughly washing your head under running water. The result will be a pleasant surprise.

Ombre - this method of staining is not similar to the previous one. When performing it, almost the same actions are performed - lightening the tips and then applying black and blue paints.

Longitudinal coloring is a creative combination of strands of black or even dark brown hair with separately dyed colored curls. Coloring can be done with one blue color, or you can do it using a whole palette of colors: from blue to purple. Each strand is covered with bright pigment separately and alternates with black. Hair after such dyeing looks spectacular and impressive.

Highlighting on dark hair involves lightening individual strands. Looks equally amazing on both short and long curls. After lightening, the master will be able to make strands of any color, including blue. You can get the desired bluish-black color with a smooth transition or sharply emphasized coloring.

Hair dyed blue-black needs the same care as any hair after dyeing. It often happens that a deep and radiant shade becomes faded and lifeless after a couple of weeks. To prevent this from happening, it is enough to follow simple advice. It is much more difficult to restore healthy shine and beauty than it is to maintain and maintain.

First, let's outline what needs to be avoided in order to preserve the color and general condition of the hair for a longer time:

• shampooing in the first two days after the staining procedure, as the pigment is fixed;
• intensive combing for at least a couple of days, so as not to damage the hair structure;
• using a styler or iron to straighten hair;
• creating tight hairstyles using a large number of hairpins, hairpins and other accessories;
• drying with a hair dryer at the maximum temperature regime.

Various masks have a beneficial effect on color retention. You can find the right product in a pharmacy or specialty store, or you can prepare it yourself using only natural ingredients. Unrefined oils have a good effect: olive, corn, coconut. Periodically, you can use masks based on eggs, kefir, decoctions of medicinal herbs.

Rinsing curls with a vinegar solution makes them soft and shiny. If you cannot do without a hair dryer, then you should not ignore the special styling and hair protection products.
