Ash black hair color: color options and aftercare

Girls with naturally black hair always look bright and impressive. But often even brunettes want to add some slight variety to their image. There are many options that make it possible to favorably emphasize a dark shade without radical recoloring. One of them is ash black staining.

It is not always necessary to immediately realize the desire to dye your hair in one shade or another, because brunette girls with different eyes and skin colors, choosing the same option for dyeing, may look different as a result. For this reason, before deciding on ashy staining, you should take into account some of the nuances.

• Ash in combination with black color always looks advantageous either with dark skin or with aristocratic pallor of the face.
• For owners of green or brown eyes, ash-black color will give even greater brightness and expressiveness of the image. It is also suitable for girls with gray-blue eyes.
• It should also be borne in mind that a hairstyle with an ashy shade of dark hair will unwittingly emphasize all problems with the skin of the face.
• Lush curls will make this coloring option visually more voluminous.
• Ash will not work for girls with too large facial features, as it will enhance their already great characteristics.

The individual style and image depends on the options for dyeing hair in ash black, therefore, it is necessary to carefully consider which of the popular staining methods will favorably emphasize all the advantages.

• Ash black ombre... As you know, ombre is a soft transition from one color to another.It is suitable for girls and women who do not want to completely change their dark hair color, but are ready to add ashy notes to it. This option will look especially impressive on hair below the shoulder line. From a practical point of view, in this way you can mask gray hair in your hair. Most of all, ash ombre on black hair is suitable for the fair sex with a pale skin tone and gray-blue or green eyes.
• Highlighting... Ash highlighting is an equally effective option for dark-haired women. The alternation of resin and silver-ash strands will beautifully emphasize the lines of the hairstyle. Looks perfect on both short and long straight or wavy hair. As a result of this procedure, some strands in the salon are discolored with a special powder, and then tinted with ammonia-free paint.
• Ashes with black roots. This option looks great on long hair. The advantage of such coloring is that you do not need to often tint the regrown hair roots. In addition, the ash color in tandem with black natural hair does not change the look of brunette girls so dramatically. It should be remembered that this procedure cannot be carried out with hair that is dyed with henna, basma or other vegetable dyes. This type of coloring is also not recommended for permed curls.

Ideally, hair coloring should only be done by a professional and only in a hairdresser or beauty salon. The correct ash shade looks natural, it is not bright and shiny.
