Light blond: who suits and how to achieve color?
Long, well-groomed blonde female hair is definitely a trend and a great pride of its wearer. Let's figure out how to achieve a blonde and not kill the beauty of your hair.
Peculiarities
Any coloring is stress for the hair and scalp. Moreover, when we are talking about the transition from a dark color to a light or cold blond. It is important to be careful and strictly follow the recommendations of experts if you do your staining at home.
It is believed that light blond rejuvenates by 5 years. A light head of hair will add femininity and tenderness, the main thing is not to overdo it.
And if you stretch the color along the length, the volume of the hair will visually increase.
In order to wash off the natural color, you need at least two lightening, and this is nothing more than trauma to the hair... With improper bleaching (especially when leaving a dark shade), there is a high probability of thinning, brittleness and hair loss.
Therefore, it is recommended to make complex staining in a quality salon from a trusted master.
Who is it suitable for?
If you are wondering how to choose your perfect blond, first determine your color type.
There is sure to be a suitable shade in the palette. For example, for the color type, summer is honey blond, caramel, wheat or mocha. If you are the owner of pale, almost porcelain skin (winter), focus on creamy, pearl, cool or platinum shades.
Also, blond is a good option for masking gray hair.
Palette of shades
Paint manufacturers supply a wide variety of blonde tones to the market - from wheat to metallic cold.
- Warm. This blonde includes honey, caramel, mustard and golden hues.It will be a chic frame for an olive or dark complexion.
- Cold. If you want to be a very light blonde without yellowness, the Nordic shade is your option. But it should be borne in mind that this shade is the most difficult to achieve.
- Dark. Looks harmoniously on a woman with olive skin and cold gray eyes.
- Natural blond. Warm and very light shade without any special impurities (yellow or gold). And if you have green or blue eyes, feel free to experiment.
- Strawberry... This is no longer blond, but rather an ash pink, but you can only impose such a strawberry shade on an ideal blonde base. Fits skin with a pink undertone.
- Caramel. An excellent transitional option for those who gradually move from dark to blond. Looks advantageous in combination with dark skin and dark eyes.
- Arctic... In terms of popularity, it is comparable to the Nordic blond. These are ashy and platinum shades, the coldest and most capricious. To preserve the purity of the color, you need to look after it very carefully, visit the salon every 1-2 months.
- Mocha... Another transitional step is a cross between caramel and wheat blond. This is a coffee shade without reddishness and yellowness.
And these are not all available options!
Painting in the salon
In terms of complexity, turning into a blonde is one of the most difficult stains, which should be done gradually in order to cause as little damage as possible to the hair.
If your natural color is light, then one procedure can cost about 3 thousand rubles. In the event that you get out of the dark, it will take a long time (from two months to six months) and will cost many times more. Of course, many masters offer to lead you to the perfect cold blonde in one lightening. But be careful! This means that the most aggressive oxide will be used for discoloration, and the consequences will be dire. Take care of your hair, invest more time in it to get the desired and quality color!
The cost depends on many factors:
- whether staining was done before and in what color (for example, red shades are the most difficult to display);
- how long the hair is (it is definitely easier to dye a square than long curls);
- whether restorative procedures are needed.
To maintain the quality of hair and bright color, it is required to come to the salon for toning once a month.
Self-staining rules
Painting your home is dangerous. However, if you have already had experience, and you know exactly the proportions, everything is in your hands. This will save money and time, but go for professional paints and oxidizers. The more expensive the product, the less likely the appearance of unpleasant yellowness and damage to the hair.
Important! Remember the 4-tone rule: if you have dark hair - in one bleaching procedure, you can lighten it by a maximum of 4 shades!
The most popular types of staining: ombre, balayage, highlighting, are done using a stretch.
Here are step-by-step instructions for stretching a blonde.
- Mix the dye according to the instructions.
- Comb your hair and divide it into several zones (strands). The more strands, the smoother the color will be. Start dyeing from the back of the head - this way you will not burn your hair, because the back of the head "grabs" the color longer than the front curls.
- Comb a little strand before dyeing. Apply the lightest shade to the ends from top to bottom. Wrap the colored strand in foil for better color fixation.
- From the roots, apply a darker tone and stretch it with a comb from top to bottom. This will give you a slow and neat transition from dark to light. This is stretching.
- After rinsing, be sure to use conditioner, balm or mask. Use coconut oil for the ends (just don't rub it all over your hair - it can knock out the color over time!)
- If yellowness appears, use toning agents and special shampoos for blonde with a purple undertone.
