Who suits the red color
If by nature you do not have a red shade of hair, then first, you need to decide exactly if this image is right for you.
- Girls with a light complexion (pale, pink, peach, olive) are the most fortunate, they go with any version of red. For those with a dark complexion, dark shades are also suitable. But the owners of tanned skin will have to give up painting in red.
- If you finally decide to change your hair color, then you definitely need to pay attention to the color of your eyes, because this is an important factor in choosing a shade of red. A very rare but classic natural combination is bright red hair and green eyes. However, don't be discouraged if you don't fall into this group. For girls with dark eyes, dark shades of red are suitable, and for girls with light eyes, bright and light shades.
- It is also worth paying attention to your hair color before dyeing. If you do not want to lighten your hair, then you need to remember that on different shades of hair, the dye can also appear in different ways.Dark hair is well dyed in dark shades, light brown - in the shade that is darker, blond - in any shade of red (blondes win in this matter).
- It should be borne in mind that red hair color emphasizes facial imperfections, asymmetry and wrinkles. Therefore, do not emphasize skin defects.
- Red dye does not apply to gray hair as it does to others, so you should contact a professional so as not to spoil your hair.
- It may come as a surprise to many that freckles do not go well with dyed red hair. Of course, it depends on the type of person, but this must be remembered.
- A very short haircut is more suitable for slender girls, for the rest you can choose the length of the strands on the shoulders. It is better for women to opt for discreet shades, both light and dark. You need to be careful, because the wrong shade of red can give a woman several years of age.
Coloring options
Nowadays, it is popular to dye hair in several shades at once, using various techniques. Coloring is considered an aggressive effect on curls, despite the quality of the paint and the professionalism of the master. Therefore, this issue must be approached with the utmost responsibility, because it will not be possible to correct the unsuccessful painting immediately. The ideal coloring will be the one after which your hair color will appear natural.
- You can only dye a strand, a few curls; on a short hairstyle, you can choose the top layer of curls, from under which the main shade will be visible.
- The transition from one color to another is considered very fashionable and bright - ombre... This coloring will suit any girl, because you can choose any shades. The most common ombre variation is going from dark roots to lighter tips. The reverse transition is also possible.
- Shatush is an ombre variant. The bottom line is that for a smoother painting, the strands are combed. Due to the resulting volume, the transition becomes gradual.
- Highlighting, in which some strands are lightened.
- Coloring, in which the strands, on the contrary, saturate with a shade, make them darker and brighter.
If you decide to dye your hair at home on your own, then you should adhere to the rules for mixing the paint, apply from roots to ends. It is important not to overexpose the material, but to follow the instructions, because it is harmful to the hair.
