Pearl blonde: trendy shades and color tips
Many women prefer light hair color as it adds a feminine appearance, softens harsh facial features and hides imperfections. Pearl blond is one of the most advantageous representatives of this palette.
Who is it suitable for?
Pearl blond looks like a regular light shade, but enriched with numerous silvery blotches that sparkle in the light. This color belongs to the cold, but it is still quite often used even by dark girls. Glitter itself is more likely to be considered an undertone, which demonstrates the classic blond in a new way. An unusual shade looks organically on both long hair and short haircuts. The disadvantages of tone include the relative difficulty of achieving it, as well as the need for regular adjustments.
Pearl blond is most suitable for beauties under the age of 45, who stand out for their light and delicate skin, as well as blue eyes. An experienced craftsman will be able to add a pearlescent shine even to initially light brown or brown hair. If we talk about the color types that are maximally combined with a shade, then we are, of course, talking about cold ones. "Winter" women, as well as light "summer" women, may not even worry - this is absolutely their color. As for the types of spring and autumn, they can also think about pearlescent glitter, but in a slightly different variation.
To create a harmonious image, it will be enough for them only to add a light dusting of silver, which gives the necessary shimmer. Unfortunately, dark-skinned girls, as well as owners of a typically oriental appearance, will have to refuse such a color.
Popular tones
The shade of pearl blond is presented in the lines of many manufacturers, and therefore it will be easy for each girl to choose the most successful option.
Pearlescent blonde - This is a classic version that looks perfect on fair skin and blue eyes. Sparkling silver curls accentuate the beauty benefits, but don't look good when paired with tanned skin.
Beige or sandy blond very nicely complemented by mother-of-pearl. The image is as natural as possible and suitable for almost any color type. This combination looks much better even not with full staining, but with highlighting or coloring individual curls.
Light Pearl Blond - the shade is very beautiful, and more suitable for young beauties. Only a light color type can be used as a basis. It is believed that this shade manifests itself most effectively with a short haircut.
Cold dark pearl looks amazing, but not suitable for every girl. A minimal bias in a warm color type or even the appearance of a tan can ruin the whole image.
Golden pearl tonebased on a light brown shade is quite versatile. It suits all "warm" girls and refreshes the insipid look. This color is often used for highlighting. Brown is also sometimes combined with mother-of-pearl, but only in the case of using a cold palette.
Silver blond is an interesting alternative to ash or blonde blond. However, it is only suitable for full coloring, since the highlighting option looks far from spectacular. Owners of a warm appearance and light tan are recommended to combine light nacre with an almond base.
Choice of paint
To achieve a pearl blonde, it’s better to go to the salon, since this shade is quite difficult, it sometimes unexpectedly manifests itself even in the presence of a natural blonde. Besides, in most cases it is necessary to carry out preliminary discoloration... In the salon, the master will not use any one color, but will mix several colors.
Therefore, deciding to still carry out the procedure at home, you should be prepared for unusual results, and start working only in the case of the initial blonde.
For a short-lived but eye-catching effect, tinting agents are ideal., for example, shampoos or balms. In order not to lose glitter and prevent yellowness, they will have to be used at least once a week.
The necessary funds can be found in the lines of the brands Schwarzkopf, L'Oreal and Estel. Well-deserved popularity is also enjoyed by tonics, which from a week to a month decorate the hair with mother-of-pearl notes. Unfortunately, the pigment is unlikely to show up on dark strands. Tonic brands include Estel, Wella and Rocolor Tonic.
Do not forget about long-lasting paints, which gives a color effect that can last up to 8 weeks. In this case, the color is washed out gradually, starting from the growing roots.
The solution can only be applied to natural blonde or pre-bleached hair.
It is more convenient to work with creamy substances. The brands Syoss, L'Oreal and Estel are distinguished by good quality.
Natural ingredients are useless for obtaining a pearl shade, but a slight "cold" lightening will be obtained using masks based on rhubarb.
For light brown or reddish hair, it is recommended to select a paint, the content of ammonia in which ranges from 3% to 6%. Such a composition will ensure uniform coloring of all strands. If the result is not to your liking, then you will have to buy a composition with a lower ammonia content, and then re-stain.
Coloring recommendations
In order to preserve the health of the hair, but still achieve a beautiful mother-of-pearl, it makes sense to use partial dyeing instead of full dyeing, that is, to use highlighting, coloring or a more complex technology.
In this case, only individual strands that create an image will undergo bleaching and dyeing, and the main hair array will remain intact.
This process is quite complicated and is carried out only in the salon, since it will be necessary to combine several colors, create a color stretch or transitions. Only hair coloring in the salon will cost from 1 to 3 thousand rubles, while more complex procedures will cost a price tag starting from 4 thousand rubles.
You can forget about the washing procedure only when the composition is applied to light brown or lighter strands. The rest of the girls will have to carry out discoloration so as not to provoke a conflict of pigments.
Before starting the procedure, be sure to check for an allergic reaction.since this situation is quite common. To do this, you just need to apply a small amount of the dye solution to the wrist or inner surface of the forearm. After half an hour, you can check for spots, irritation or other symptoms.
The direct application of the paint remains the same, regardless of whether the girl has medium bob, short or long hair. The process is carried out according to the instructions always available inside the package. Usually, mixing of pigment and clarifier is carried out, which is immediately distributed over dry, dirty hair... It is important to process both the roots and the entire length of the strands. Having washed off the composition with warm water, you must use the balm that comes with the kit, which is responsible for fixing the shade. It is worth mentioning that less dye is used in salon conditions than at home. On average, you should count on one pack for shoulder length and two packs for longer hair.
Sometimes the problem arises with the ends, and they have to either be trimmed or bleached separately from the general hair mass.
If a yellow tint appears during the procedure, then it can be removed with an ash tonic.
When painted in the salon, the final color sometimes turns out to be colder or darker than planned. This happens, as a rule, due to the fact that the master cannot predict the reaction of previously unfamiliar hair. It is not worth worrying about the effect too much, since the pigment in any case tends to wash out, and therefore in about a week the color will become ideal.
Experts warn that before using the pearl blonde, you will have to stand it for 4 months, generally without staining. This should be enough time to wash off the dark color.
Hair care after the procedure
Pearl blond is a shade that, in addition to proper care, will also require regular toning to maintain color. When choosing such a tool, you should focus on tinted shampoos with purple or blue pigment. In addition, the growing roots should be tinted immediately, otherwise the appearance will immediately become sloppy.
After a rather difficult dyeing, the hair becomes dry and brittle, so you need to immediately start the healing process. The habit should be made to use products for nutrition and moisturizing. All shampoos, masks, balms, conditioners must be marked "for colored hair."
It is allowed to use formulations with a colored pigment no more than once a week. If you leave the product on the strands for a long time, then purple spots may appear, so you should not abuse it. Masks and balms are usually applied according to the instructions, but if there is a colored pigment, it still makes sense to test on one of the strands.
Do not forget about natural products that only benefit your hair.
In this case, we are talking about masks with lemon, lavender and green tea, as well as herbal rinses.
Egg wraps have also earned a good reputation as a supportive measure.
