Steel hair color: fashionable shades and subtleties of dyeing

Any woman dreams of looking stylish and a little mysterious. "Cold" beauty, undoubtedly, attracts the attention of the opposite sex and delights in girlfriends. The main "highlight" of this image is the steel hair color, which is suitable for different lengths of hair. Today, an elegant shade with silvery tints is very popular among avid fashionistas.

Steel is a variety of gray. The tone sparkles in the sun and differs from natural gray strands in an amazing shine. The color suits mature ladies with short haircuts and young ladies with long curls. The steel tone does not age, but favorably emphasizes the aristocratic beauty. It is ideal for women of the "winter" color type. However, warmer variations of gray are in perfect harmony with brown eyes and dark skin. In addition, beauties with a "southern" appearance can use this tone as an additional one (complex coloring).

The steel (or gray) shade undoubtedly has a number of significant advantages. These include the following nuances:

• cool elegant tone gives charm and spectacular mystery to any female image;
• perfectly paints over gray hair;
• looks luxurious on short, medium and long hair;
• matches the natural hair color, as well as warm shades.

However, those wishing to achieve a light gray shade should not forget about its disadvantages. For example, silver color is not as easy to obtain as it seems at first glance... Dark-haired ladies need to pre-lighten the hair, which implies an additional "load" on the hair. Thin and lifeless strands of steel will look ridiculous. It is also best to give your hair a beautiful cool tone in a beauty salon. At home, the staining result can be unexpected.

Fashionistas with gray hair should not forget about regular color renewal with the help of tinted shampoos. Additional care is also important for colored strands: moisturizing and nourishing with the help of cream masks. In addition, a rich shade will quickly lose its shine under the influence of high temperatures (using a curling iron or curling iron).

Gray hair dye, in addition to steel, has a varied range of colors.

• Mouse. One of the most popular shades in the modern beauty industry. The noble cold tone is in perfect harmony with white skin and gray eyes. However, girls with problems on the face are not recommended to choose such a color.

• Ash (steel) blond. The tone combines light gray and silver. Suitable for young girls with a Nordic appearance and mature ladies with short haircuts. Perfectly paints over gray hair and is combined with delicate daytime makeup.

• Wet asphalt. A rich, deep color suitable for middle-aged women. It looks luxurious on long, wavy curls. Unlike black, this shade is soft, but at the same time noble.

• Purple. A beautiful and unusual color that can be described as gray with a purple tint. Suitable for light-skinned blue-eyed enchantresses with long and medium strands. Suitable for partial staining.

• Blue. It is easy to give a similar shade to blondes using shampoos with a dye base. Perfectly sets off snow-white skin and light eyes. Gives the female image of mystery and unique charm.

• Chocolate. A bright color with a gray tint looks gorgeous on short hair. It is preferred by girls with "winter" and "autumn" color types. Chocolate gray is in harmony with expressive eyes and bright lips.

Getting a beautiful steel shade at home is easy. However, dark hair is difficult to dye, so the process will be a step-by-step process. First of all, the hair is lightened, and only then coloring agents are applied (paint, tint toner or varnish). As for women with natural light brown hair, they need to purchase paint 2-3 tones lighter.

The gray color is perfect for complex staining techniques. The noble tone is combined with natural strands and dark shades.

• Highlighting. The method involves dyeing individual strands. Steel highlights look great on long to medium hair. The most effective combination is the alternation of ash and dark brown curls. Relevant for brunettes with sophisticated features.

• Ombre. One of the most popular techniques in the modern beauty industry. With ombre, the hair roots retain their "native" color, and the rest of the strands are colored in light silvery tones. Also good are combinations of platinum with dark blond and mother-of-pearl with black.

• Shatush. Individual strands are dyed, creating the effect of burnt hair. Coloring agents are applied in a chaotic manner, which gives the hair a natural look. This technique involves the use of steel and platinum blond.

Note that getting a silvery cool shade is not always possible the first time. There are several reasons for dyeing hair color.

1. Hormonal changes. Women are not advised to lighten or tone their hair on the eve of critical days, as well as during pregnancy and lactation.
2. Quality. Undoubtedly, it is best to purchase coloring agents from well-known manufacturers. Inexpensive dyes of dubious origin can lead to disastrous results.
3. Hair structure. Thin and weakened hair requires some care before the staining procedure. Otherwise, a beautiful shade will not work.
