Basically, the red color of the curls and its variations (including honey) has found distribution among the inhabitants of the northern countries - Norway, Sweden, Denmark. This color is not so rare for German women. But honey is suitable not only for ladies from these countries - with a skillful combination of natural color type and the desired shade, it can become an adornment of the appearance of many.

If your color type is "spring", most likely honey will suit you. Green, light gray and light blue eyes go well with him. Skin - peach, beige, slightly dark (all three options are suitable).

Let's look at some examples. One of the most important red-haired beauties of the planet - Brazilian Cynthia Dicker... The supermodel has not just freckles on her face, but a lot of freckles. Cynthia naturally has light eyebrows, light eyes and natural red hair. During her modeling career, she repeatedly changed shades of red, often resorting to noble honey.

And without makeup, Cynthia looks much younger than her years.

Another example is the Russian actress Vera Sotnikova... The actress was a brown-haired woman for a long time, even a brunette, but for about 15 years Vera prefers redhead to all other colors in all its diversity. And this is the case when it is a delicate honey, then honey with a fiery undertone incredibly decorate. Light brown eyes, expressive facial features, good skin tone - this is what attracts even more attention to the hair color, which visually makes Vera younger.

Or another example - Natalia Podolskaya... Previously, fans went crazy from the haircut of the bob with bangs that she wore. Now Natalia is 37 years old and she still exploits honey shades of her hair, changing tones from time to time. Olive skin, gray-green eyes, a slightly elongated face - if you have the same appearance, and by nature wheat, golden-brown hair, you can follow Natalia's example and dye your curls honey. It is possible that for a very long time you will be faithful to this sunny shade.

It is not difficult to achieve a dark honey color if your native color is light wheat (or similar tones). But keep in mind: on light strands, the chosen shade will become even lighter, even brighter than on the model from the package. Therefore, hairdressers recommend taking paint a shade darker in order to accurately guess with the result.

Women who belong to the "winter" color type should be careful with honey shades. This is not the best basis for experimenting with a redhead: it is difficult to find the very nuanced shade that is right for you. Only a highly professional specialist can handle this. But even a pro often discourages clients, advises not to "go" into a color scheme that does not coincide with natural data.

If you are in the mood for a light honey tone, be prepared for the fact that it is very moody. It is difficult to achieve, and it is quickly washed off from bleached hair. If you lightened the curls before staining, you cannot do without color fixative shampoos in the future.

• Chamomile. To get a light golden hue on your hair, you need to take 4 tablespoons of chamomile inflorescences, pour 1 liter of boiled water, boil for 7 minutes in a water bath. Then the broth must be filtered. A decoction is applied to a previously washed head for about an hour, a little less is possible. Wash it off with rinsing (no shampoo needed).

• Linden flowers. Usually women with dark blond hair who want to add a natural golden note to the natural color use this recipe. Three tablespoons of linden inflorescences need to be poured with 300 ml of boiled water, boiled for 18-20 minutes, filtered and, of course, cooled. With this mixture, you need to process all the hair, leave the composition on the curls for 40 minutes, then rinse without shampoo.

If a lady has short hair, she often comes to the conclusion that dyeing it at home will be cheaper and easier. In some cases, this is true. But even if you decide on home staining, the result may be different. Make sure that you are familiar with the dyeing technique and do not break its rules.

Stages of correct staining.

1. Selection of dye. To determine the appropriate color, lift your hair in light - in general, it appears darker than it actually is. If you have recently done a chemical perm (or a similar procedure), use mild tinting preparations, full dyeing is undesirable. If honey is your natural color and you are not averse to returning to it, remember that the hair at the roots is always slightly darker than the bulk.
2. Allergotest. Carry out it always, even if you have not experienced any problems with the dye before.
3. Preparation for the procedure. Do not wash your hair before staining. It is very important that a fatty layer remains on the skin, protecting it from a negative reaction of the composition. But if the strands are very dirty, you can wash them with shampoo without using balm.If you have any styling products left on your hair, just try combing them out.
4. Instruments. Lubricate the skin on the edges of the face with a fat cream or petroleum jelly. Always use gloves that will protect your skin from the dye. Dilute the paint in a plastic or ceramic bowl, because the reaction of the dye and the metal, if you use, for example, an aluminum plate, will cause the formation of compounds with a negative effect on the dyeing result. You need to mix the paint strictly before the procedure.
5. Application. Divide the curls into 4 zones by passing two perpendicular parting through the crown. Apply the dye along the parting line, then on the back of the head (where the skin is colder and staining occurs with less intensity). Lastly, the composition is applied to the temporal part and the hair above the forehead. There the thinnest hair, and therefore the dye composition there sets faster.
6. Excerpt. Read the instructions and do not deviate from its instructions. When the desired color is achieved, emulsify - apply a little warm water to the hair, lather it gently, distribute it over the scalp, making a massage along the hairline. Rinse your hair further with warm water, then shampoo, and also with a neutralizer-balm to remove dye residues.

The brighter the shade of the paint, the faster it will wash out. You can correct the situation by choosing the right care products after staining. Most often these are shampoos and balms that help to maintain color fastness, intended for the care of colored curls.

Usually these shampoos contain extracts:

• cinnamon;
• grenade;
• chamomile;
• cherries.

The lamination procedure will also help prolong the color fastness. Each hair is covered with an inconspicuous film that fixes the color. If you are not a supporter of professional chemical lamination, you can turn to an alternative laminator - gelatin. A few of these home procedures, and the hair will be noticeably transformed. They become more manageable, smoother, shinier, and the color looks like you just dyed your curls.

Don't forget about nourishing hair masks. Eat them outside, making masks based on fermented milk products, fruits, berries, bread. But the condition of the hair also depends on the condition of the body as a whole. Vitamin therapy should be systemic, good nutrition - every day, healthy sleep - not from time to time, but constantly.

Thermal devices negatively affect any hair. If you use a hairdryer, iron, curling iron almost every day, then it will be very difficult to grow the length. And the color suffers from such manipulations. If you cannot reduce the frequency of using this technique, use thermal protection. These are, as a rule, indelible formulations that protect hair from the damaging heat effects.

Hair is a woman's adornment, which nature itself gives her and which can become a real wealth, a visiting card. But nature needs help: competent care, the right choice of color and careful protection will make sure that your hair regularly receives the most sincere compliments.
