How to choose the perfect blonde?
Important to remember
There comes a time in every girl's life when she wants to become a blonde. To make going blonde as safe as possible, clients should contact a hairdresser-colorist.
There is an opinion that every woman can choose her ideal shade of blonde. I think that all colorists agree with this opinion, because blonde starts from the sixth level of tone depth (aka dark blond) and ends with platinum shades. Therefore, taking into account the client’s natural markers, you can choose the desired color and shade.
Comes from childhood
Ask your client what color and shade his hair was as a child. Many of us have had blonde hair that later turned darker. Important information about hair tone after sunburn. If your client has ever had naturally blonde hair, feel free to experiment with different shades of blonde.
Leather
When choosing a very light shade of blonde, remember that blonde hair only adorns healthy and well-groomed skin. Cool, transparent and ashy shades make skin imperfections more noticeable, so it is worth warning the client that he cannot do without foundation if he has such problems.
Dark-haired and dark-eyed girls are best suited to dark shades of blonde: chocolate, cinnamon, cocoa and cappuccino. These colors have deep undertones and can look either cool or warm depending on the lighting.
For those girls who want to see themselves in light shades, but are afraid that they won’t suit them, I would advise trying fashionable coloring - stretching colors, from dark to light. In this case, near the face there will be a calm and comfortable shade of a natural tone or a little deeper, and along the length of the hair there will be light strands, as light as the client can afford or as his hair will allow during dyeing, because not all dark hair can do it the first time. become transparent-light.
If the client has a warm eye shade and skin undertone, warm tones are best suited for him: honey, walnut, natural red. And if the client has a fiery character, it’s worth experimenting with caramel, bright and even light red tones.
For girls whose face is strewn with freckles, the best option is to decorate their hair with strawberry and pearlescent shades.
Reminder! For several years now, the fashion for natural beauty and, accordingly, natural hair color has continued. This is not only dyeing in calm neutral shades, but also all kinds of color extensions in the form of sun-bleached hair, 3D coloring for volume and face correction. To avoid “surprises” in hair coloring and avoid getting unnecessary shades, advise clients to forget about home dyeing. Teach them to contact professionals and properly care for their hair, and then their hair will be healthy and beautiful.
