Ash brown hair color: shades, selection of dyes, tips for dyeing and care

Ash brown hair color is one of the most popular in the beauty industry in recent times. Many show business stars appear in front of the lenses with just such a shade of hair, and regardless of age, because thanks to this choice, any lady can look spectacular and unique. Today any woman can look not only well-groomed, but also stylish and unforgettable.

To choose the right shade of hair, you need to decide what suits you and what will not look very advantageous, it all depends on the color of the skin and eyes of their owner. Many people think that ash brown hair color can visually add a certain number of years.

However, experience shows that this is not entirely true. The peculiarity of this color is that it suits many women, as it simultaneously combines shades of cold and warm tones. Not everyone will be able to achieve one hundred percent transfer of this particular color: the ash-brown shade “plays” in different ways on different shades of hair.

Experts attribute this shade to the "brown-haired" category. It contains a gray tone, which excludes the appearance of "yellowness" after staining. This color should not be confused with an ashy dark blond shade, which results in a "paler" result.Ash brown is ideal for brown-haired women - there is no need to first "prepare" the hair to the expected shade, bleaching or dyeing it.

If blondes decided on drastic changes, then stylists recommend that they try to make highlights, which will look very impressive with a fashionable haircut: cascading, asymmetric, with fashionable, torn bangs.

Depending on the client's wishes, a professional stylist can achieve many varieties of ash brown tones.

• Young ladies and fashionistas of a more respectable age are very fond of the light ash shade, which gives them romanticism and mystery. If the client has a fair-haired or lighter shade of hair, then the effect can be achieved without difficulty. A light brown shade with an unusual shimmer will become the color of admiration and originality.

• Trendy shades of brown are a trend in today's beauty industry. Among them, violet-brown rightfully occupies a leadership position, it is not for nothing that world celebrities are fond of it. This is, in principle, quite a defiant shade, but the owners of fair skin can safely “wear” it for a long time.

• The dark brown shade of hair "offers" the girls a lot of options: chocolate, capable of "rejuvenating" their owner, cognac - the dream of all green-eyed beauties, golden brown, giving romanticism to any beauty. Chestnut in all shades is a noble decoration of any lovely female head, but here you need to observe conventions: a cold shade should frame only light skin, the paler it is, the more “calm” the color is chosen.

• Many girls want to achieve a shade of ash blonde, believing that this is a derivative of the ash brown color. This is not entirely true, but the ash in this version gives the hair an unforgettable shade.

Perfect silver or ash is the prerogative of girls with perfect skin whiteness. But ash brown makes it possible to demonstrate their bright individuality to many beauties both under 20 and after 40 years. In the first case, such coloring will impeccably emphasize the youth and independence of the fair sex, and in the latter, it will make the lady much younger visually.

However, it won't look good if you have the following features:

• moles, pimples or any other skin imperfections;
• a lot of freckles;
• oily skin;
• visible wrinkles;
• you are a girl of the "autumn" type - with such an appearance you need a "golden" note in the image, and the ashy one will make them expressionless;
• The “spring” type of women should also avoid a cardinal shade: they can be allowed ash-brown in the form of colored strands, since if it becomes the main one, the “highlight” of the image may disappear;
• if your permanent color is blonde and 180 degrees will change your look, be prepared.

The color will ideally "look" on girls with perfectly white and olive skin, owners of blue or gray eyes. If your appearance has a "cold" shade, then ash brown is your best choice. Experts consider its average shade to be "cold brown-haired" - it is brown with an unusual pearlescent tint. It will work in combination with other shades.

Such an unusual shade will attract attention both on long curls and on medium-length haircuts, and short hair of this color will not leave anyone indifferent. And that's whether your hair is wavy or straight. A universal shade that copes well with regrown gray hair by drastic shading.
