Features of the transition from brunette to blonde

Blonde may not be a suitable option not only for clients who have thin and weak hair, but also for those who do not. The color type of a person’s appearance is responsible for the “doesn’t suit” criterion.

Before radically changing the client’s hair color, it is important to consult with an image maker, who will objectively evaluate the color type of appearance from the point of view of style direction, and also recommend which changes in coloring will definitely suit, and which, on the contrary, will ruin the appearance. Anna Alieva , a stylist at the Maria Pion image studio, will help us figure this out.

What is an appearance color type?

The Swiss artist Johannes Itten is considered the creator of the theory of color types. It was in painting that he noticed that not every type of appearance is suitable for a certain time of year. The theory is based on the fact that in nature the ratio of cold and warm tones changes from one season to another. Accordingly, there are people for whom an icy black color is ideal and will not suit a wheat hair color at all. Let us examine in more detail the transitions “from brunette to blonde” using the examples of famous actresses. Penelope Cruz , film actress. The color type of her appearance is Italian winter.

To film a movie, you often have to radically change your hair color or, at a minimum, try on different looks. It is generally accepted that a woman has a lighter shade of hair that makes her look younger, but in this example we see the opposite effect.

I would like to remind you that in determining color it is necessary to study all the components: the natural shade of hair and eyebrows, eye and skin color. In addition to dotting the color type, it is important to take into account the client’s style type, as well as ask about the impression he wants to create with the help of his image. A person’s facial features are the basis and root cause for creating an image and style; they give us a hint on how to make an image harmonious, remove subjectivity in creating an image, and therefore allow us to create an individual style.

Why is it important to consider style direction when changing hair color?

The style direction affects the color type, expands the color palette or, vice versa, narrows it. However, in all cases it helps to balance the color palette of the look. Famous personalities (or rather their stylists) definitely take this into account, so they boldly transform from a brunette to a blonde. It's all in the shade Consider the image of actress Lena Headey for the role of Cersei Lannister, the heroine of “Game of Thrones”. The type of blonde in this case is golden . It’s hard to immediately determine that its natural color is dark.

Why? Lina's facial features contain stylistic signs of romanticism, which allows her to transform into a blonde. I would like to draw your attention to the fact that it is a blonde with a warm undertone . For example, platinum blonde would not give such a natural effect.

But actress Jennifer Aniston , on the contrary, is a wonderful example of a perfect transformation into a blonde beauty.

Her naturally dark brown hair puts an unwanted emphasis on the actress's angular features. Whereas in a light color, Jennifer Aniston's appearance is revealed better, and the boundaries of an overly elongated chin are also erased.

Another example of a successful transformation from a brunette to a blonde is actress Katherine Heigl .

In her case, blonde hair visually rejuvenates her and gives her a special luxury to her appearance. As a result, stylists created a real pop diva from a simple pretty girl.

Regarding clothes

When choosing clothes, you should consider your hair tone. Warm shades are “gold”, “champagne” and “honey”, and cool shades are “platinum”, “ash” and “beige”.

“Warm” blondes are more suited to rich shades, while “cool” blondes are ideally suited to style in delicate, dusty colors. If your client has very white skin, it is better to avoid pure white in the portrait area, which will make the skin pale and the appearance expressionless.

You should also remember that orange can only be a warm color, and if the color type is cold, you should not place this color close to your face. Conclusion. If a client decides to transform from a brunette to a blonde, she should be prepared for the fact that she will need to reconsider her wardrobe not only in terms of color, but also in the style of clothing. It is also important to choose several hairstyles or styling options that will logically fit the new look.
