Cognac hair color: who suits and how to achieve color?

Cognac hair dye got its name in honor of an expensive drink of a shade of brown with gold and copper-red, playing with magical tints in the sun and in the light of bright lamps. The tone of cognac on dyed hair exactly copies the color of the noble drink, so many girls and women are attracted by this shade of hair, but it does not suit everyone.

Girls with certain external data are more likely to get a positive result after dyeing their hair in a cognac color. Let's list them.

• Owners of light golden skin and blond hair (natural blondes). These girls usually have light eyes - blue, gray or light brown. For light hair - linen, light with a straw tint, light blond - a golden and light copper-red shade of cognac is suitable.

• Girls whose type has absorbed all the colors of autumn - it is golden skin with freckles, red hair, golden chestnut, dark chestnut with a copper tint. The eyes are brown, sometimes with a green tint. Cognac shades emphasize the natural beauty of the "autumn girls" hair.

• Cognac color suits girls with dark skinwho have brown or black eyes.

• It is not recommended to experiment with cognac shades for girls with pale skin, which does not lend itself well to tanning, and cold tones of curls (black, ash, with silvery shades), since after changing the tone, the hairstyle will almost always have a yellow color, which does not correspond to the shades of the color of the noble drink.

When choosing a dye of cognac color, you should compare the color of your eyes and the intended shade of the dye, since these factors are of great importance for the result of dyeing. The relationship between eye color and dye shade has been proven over time. This suggests which eyes the cognac color is most suitable for.

The combination of chocolate eyes, dark skin and cognac brown hair creates an insane appeal. Such girls do not go unnoticed. The same applies to the color of black eyes, the only difference is that for girls with this color of eyes it is better to have hair color with a copper shade of cognac paint.

The classic color of cognac is perfect for girls with green eyes, making the image magical and mysterious. The depth of green eyes fascinates and attracts. Cognac color miraculously sets off the color of such eyes.

For eyes of this color, the bright, predominant tone of cognac will not work. In this case, you can revive the hairstyle with strands of red or copper tones, or give your hair a light golden hue using dyeing, which will add charm and tenderness to the image. Such girls want to be protected and cherished.

The decisive factor in the acquisition of the desired cognac shade is the original hair color. To obtain brown tones, dark blond curls are suitable, the color of lighter hairs as they grow back will sharply contrast with the brown areas.

To create a golden cognac shade, strands of light warm tones are suitable. Light wheat, flaxen hair can be "corrected" with strands of golden, copper colors. Copper cognac dye will give a high-quality shade of color on red, light brown, brown hair.

To obtain a cognac color, natural dyes are an alternative to chemical colorants. They can be used at a time when there is a reason for the temporary rejection of chemical compounds. In addition to giving the desired tone to the hair, natural dyes have a beneficial effect on hair health.

The most affordable natural dye that you can buy in stores is henna. When hair interacts with henna, the following cognac shades are obtained:
