At the same time, keep in mind that colors with tints of red, including those from the amber range, are not suitable for skin prone to irritation. Choose colder shades and they will distract attention from imperfect skin tones.
How do you get the tone you want?
The easiest way is to give a golden amber tint to the hair of girls with naturally blond hair. To make the blonde's hair brighter and sparkle with rays of light, you can use tincture of chamomile. This beauty procedure is also useful, and if you add a little cinnamon or honey to the broth, then the effect of it will be even more pronounced.

Girls with blonde hair like light brown also do not need to use powerful dyes to create the effect of sun amber highlights. A coloring shampoo or a gentle dye that does not penetrate deeply into the hair structure may be enough for them. Some representatives of the fair sex prefer to use henna for this purpose, as it gives the hair not only a fresh shade, but also heals it - the hair becomes shiny and elastic.

Remember that this natural dye is difficult to wash out of the hair, besides, after using henna, you cannot dye your hair for a long time - a chemical dye can behave unpredictably.
As for dark blond ladies and owners of even darker hair, to achieve the desired effect an oxidizing agent will have to be used.
Trendy coloring techniques such as balayazh or shatush, are often performed on an amber base. The versatile shades of this range are the perfect backdrop for striking accents. This is due to the fact that amber does not look too flashy, but at the same time it is quite juicy.The colorist can dilute it with both darker highlights of the color of milk chocolate or copper, and lighter shades of blond.
