Classic milky blond - the purest color scheme without signs of yellowness, golden and silver undertones. This shade is more reminiscent of a matte snow-white color, a slight shine is allowed.

Light milk chocolate (baked milk) - this tone is somewhere in the middle between brown and red tones. It looks especially stylish on the owners of fair skin and light eyes. But for girls with freckles, it is better to stay on other tones, for example, gold - they will make the face brighter.

The shade is suitable for white-skinned and light-eyed ladies, allows you to make your eyes bright and expressive. In order to achieve this color scheme, preliminary bleaching is required, as well as neutralization of the red pigment.

A distinctive feature of a milky blonde is that any hair, even blond, requires mandatory preliminary bleaching with subsequent toning. To minimize the harm caused by paints, it is necessary prepare hair before coloring - for example, a week before the procedure, apply caring oils to the hair at night, and rinse off in the morning.

It is best to paint in the salon, because with self-tinting, it is quite difficult to mix paints in such a way as to obtain a dazzling whiteness. In addition, when applied by an inept master, all toning defects will immediately catch the eye. Thus, instead of a luxurious milky blonde, you only get cheap yellowness.

Traditionally, two types of paints are mixed to obtain a milk color:

• resistant, providing long-lasting effect and resistance to color washout;
• semi-permanent, shading natural shade.

According to consumer reviews, the highest quality paints from the "milk" series are:

• caramel blonde 8-7 from Syoss;
• Estel (professional series) - caramel blond;
• Schwarzkopf Color Mask - tone golden chocolate 665.

To maintain the shade or give an interesting color scheme to naturally white curls, you can use tint shampoos, tonics and balms. Keep in mind that you won't be able to achieve light milky shades with them.

Some women prefer natural remedies based on kefir and lemon juice. However, their purpose is to give a shade and a slight lightening by half a tone. It is impossible to get a light milky tone from light brown and even more dark in this way.

Fashionable shades are often used for partial coloring and obtaining a "milkshake".
