Northern blonde
In nature, yellowness is not inherent in such a color: in childhood, the owner of such hair is a real blond angel, the shade of the hair is almost snow-white, with a pinkish tint at the roots. Having become a teenager, such a girl has curls with a metallic shade: in each hair, the concentration of a natural dye produced by the body increases.
This shade remains until the first gray, casting either silver or platinum, Scandinavian - a brother of platinum blonde. And in old age, the northern blonde turns gray imperceptibly, the platinum color changes to bluish, which makes a noticeable contribution to the perfection of hair coloring.

Requirements
Scandinavian blond is a shade of hair with almost white strands, providing a smooth transition from roots to ends. A clear separation, sharp transitions between light and dark areas are unacceptable. A lady should not be of old age: a nordic blond is combined with fresh and firm skin, and a woman who has not yet stepped over the retirement age mark, such a color will only grow old, throwing on her for another ten years, and only the zone grown at the roots will give out artificiality. If the gray hair has already broken through, then it is better to tint it.

Staining principles
Recently, masters have mainly used three coloring methods for Nordic blond: creating a burnout effect in the summer heat, ombre and shatush. Coloring, highlighting and contrast treatment are not suitable - they deprive the hairstyle of the natural effect. As a result, the result will be different: a person is able to distinguish up to 10 million color tones - the color industry does not produce so many options. It is limited only by the range of primary colors - from 1 (black) to 12 (a color that looks like toilet paper) and about a dozen tones, "tied" to each of the colors. The total number of tones reaches more than a hundred - and the undertones characteristic of a Nordic blonde are brought to the desired condition already in a beauty salon.

Nuances
There are three types of Scandinavian blond: pearl, ash and platinum. To eliminate yellowness, some ladies add a little purple dye to the composition, which can result in, for example, ash-sandy, pinkish blond or lightened metallic. If the roots have grown significantly, the resulting color transition is extremely close to natural. A small injection of peroxide (on average 2.25%) into the composition - and the Nordic blond is ready to use every month.

Colorists' experience tells us that it is easier to bring a darker blonde (hair color 9-12) to the north than to lighten a black-haired client from scratch. The lighter the original color tone, the more difficult it is to recognize that the Nordic blonde is not born, but corrected during a forced recoloring.
For born brunettes
Hair extensions will help to shake off the annoying "brunetism" and effectively transform into a Nordic blonde.
Here you need a smooth repainting in several steps. It is difficult to obtain high-quality staining on your own - contact any beauty salon: the master's eye is "sketched" and distinguishes much more shades that the client herself would not pay close attention to. A professional will select an individual coloring scheme in exact accordance with the existing tone, and will also give the right advice on how to preserve the acquired color for a long time.

Initially, dark hair will take on a reddish tint. To eliminate redness, and then yellowness, hair tinting is used, and after several stages of lightening and dyeing, the hair color gradually "rises" to the level of the northern blonde, towards the end of the hair it will gradually reach almost white.
An increase in the number of staining sessions will lead to more pronounced color loss. In general, the lighter the client's hairstyle, the longer the period and the greater the number of procedures for highlighting and repainting she will have to go through.

The blackened root sections of the strands that grow over time, although they will give out "headlong" that the lady does not belong to natural-born blondes, will also bring a fair amount of sexuality into the resulting contrast.
Some dyes are able to immediately "raise" the color by 5-6 tones - in just 1-2 dyeing sessions. This is what every beauty salon uses. If you need speed of the process - you can lighten hair with peroxide to the limit - until they turn yellow, but there is a great risk of turning them into something that resembles in terms of hardness straw or brush bristles. To avoid the latter effect, they are intensively nourished with substances and reagents washed out at the stage of clarification. Sources of lost nutrients are all kinds of masks, gels and balms, conditioning additives in special shampoos.

Initially, you will get a reddish-reddish color - then it will become reddish-yellow. After a week of daily lightening and replenishment sessions, start toning - an artificial coloring composition acts as a "toner". It is possible to eliminate the penetrating yellowness with the help of a composition containing ice colors (blue-violet shades). If you sort it out with blue dye, the strands will be like that of the fabulous Malvina.

The proportions of dyes can be determined by yourself, but the most accurate will be done by a salon master, who has actually become an expert in hair dyeing. Some clients, being tempted by a paint with a tint of northern blond, get a shade abounding in yellowness, after which they accuse the manufacturer of hack-work, and not themselves - of carelessness when choosing.
When lightening hair again, trying to replace the same platinum blond with an arbitrary shade, for example, greenish-blue when creating a trash hairstyle, ladies are faced with a much more difficult - compared to natural - removal of artificial dye. The fact is that synthetic hair dyes are primarily aimed at the durability of the resulting "coating" - they eat into the scaly structure of the hair in a way that is not fixed, for example, when dyeing gray hair, all the same henna, completely natural. In virtually identical conditions, a natural brown-haired woman is more likely to "oblond" to a Nordic color than a client who has already been dyed into a blonde of a different tone. When the repainting is done according to all the rules, the result in any case will fully justify your efforts.

All of these paints require at least 3 days of brightening with hydrogen peroxide essences. If you want to lighten your hair as much as possible, then on the fourth day it is advisable to nourish them with strengthening compounds in order to avoid overdrying and falling out. If you are unsure of your abilities, you should consult with a stylist.
Why is yellowness formed?
Having found a paint suitable for the description in the salon, customers first of all trust the picture, unlike experienced workers in the color industry. The reality is the following: the client may appear with initially gray hair (age makes itself felt) or with hair previously dyed in a completely different color. At first glance, the opinions of "self-made" and real stylists coincide, but the practical approach is different: this is reported by reviews of those who have already tried the composition of "Scandinavian Blond".

As a result, for black-haired and brunettes, coloring after lightening can turn out to be red-red, while owners of brown-haired tones become yellow-red. Each person has his own, inherent in nature and genetics, the specific amount of pigment - a shortage or overkill of "discoloration" and dye can play a cruel joke: you will not get a one hundred percent Nordic blond, but something that vaguely resembles it. If you overdo it with a cold color (blue-violet shades), it will no longer be a Scandinavian blond, but a trash color of more "flashy" tones.

As an example
One of the famous faces of the catwalk - Siri Tollerod - showed a natural tone of curls, which looks great on a cloudless day and in different artificial lighting. In the sun, her strands take on a lemon tint, and at dusk - a platinum tone. A close-to-white hue reflects glare from bright objects and lighting. Taking pictures without a flash, she appears to the viewer like an ashen blonde, sometimes even more lightened, like at the Chanel show. There are very few girls and women like her in the world, and some, imitating her, resort to artificially giving their hair just such a scale.
