Whoever should categorically not try on all shades of gray is, first of all, for the owners of problem skin, with acne scars, scars, rosacea. If the vascular network is close, showing blush, the combination with the ash tone of the hair will not be too complimentary. Natural brown, wheat, golden hair color can also be considered a relative "contraindication" for changing hair color using the ash range.

But public figures often see this as an advantage - it is not surprising that it is the stars and VIPs who most often set the trends in gray hair dyeing.

How to choose the right one?
When choosing the optimal ash shade of hair, it is very important to focus not only on fashion trends. It is equally important to consider other factors that affect whether the tone will look harmonious on a particular person. So, it is difficult to adapt gray colors to short haircuts - here they add age, visually unbalance the image.
The minimum recommended length is a square to the chin, only the lightest colors are worn with bangs.

Another important point: the purpose of staining. If you want to play in contrast, then you can try a similar coloristic experiment on the appearance of a classic brunette or a bright brown-haired woman. For those whose image initially does not differ in natural brightness, graphic gray can be used to sharpen the definition of facial features.Light colors will soften too large or massive details of the appearance, will help to achieve a slight rejuvenating effect.

For hair with a yellow, reddish undertone, only dark ash shades are suitable. This should be taken into account, otherwise, instead of a beautiful cold tone, chaos of the color of pepper and salt will reign on the hair when piebald strands are added.
Despite its complexity, gray tones are quite advantageously combined with all types of appearance. But it is better to entrust the coloring and selection of the shade to a professional colorist.
