Strawberry blonde: what is important to consider when creating this shade?

Who is suitable for this or that shade of strawberry blonde and what is important for the master to remember during creation - we tell you in the material.

Dyeing strawberry blond , or strawberry blond, does not always include a pink tint. His variations are truly impressive. But in this type of coloring there are two main undertones - warm and cold. Warm tone is rose gold, which can have a golden-red note, and cool tone looks almost like a regular blonde, only with a small amount of quartz, often just pastel pink.

What do color types say?

For clients with the “spring” color type, it is better to choose warm tones – peach or gold. “Autumn” is not recommended to stick to cold tones; suggest the option of rose gold. But for the “summer” color type, strawberry blond or with splashes of purple are suitable. For “winter” we recommend trying on pearl pink and pearlescent shades.

What is important for a master to remember when creating strawberry blonde?

Like ash blonde, strawberry blonde is a very sheer color that requires a clean background of lightening. The hair should be bleached as cleanly as possible so that the shade is transparent and the final result looks gentle and neat.

When working with bleaching products, many professionals recommend starting with low oxides, since the first strands to which you apply the bleaching product will stay in the composition longer than the next.

There is a false opinion among masters: if the client’s base is level 7 and above, then you need to use 3% oxide, and if it is from 5 and below, then you need to use 6% oxide. That is, the darker the base, the higher the oxide. This is an incorrect judgment.

It is also not recommended during bleaching to first dye the partings and then dye the entire head. Here everything works on the same principle - the composition will remain on the parting longer, and, accordingly, the reaction will be stronger. It’s better to work and paint from the bottom up, it’s more convenient and cleaner.

Clients like to not wash their hair for several days before coloring. If a client comes to you with very dirty hair, then be sure to wash your hair before dyeing - this will make the powder better bleach and the dye will better penetrate the cortex.

If the client has an uneven hair, which happens very often in practice, it makes sense to start applying the lightening composition to the darkest strands of hair, and after some time continue applying to lighter areas in order to keep previously lightened hair in good condition.

When you apply the composition to previously bleached hair, do not comb it with a comb - this will lead to mechanical damage; it is best to apply the dye with your hands in a circular motion.

To achieve a pink tint on your hair, you need to take an ash dye as a base and add a few grams of red corrector. This way you will get the desired strawberry blonde.

It is necessary to use a denser composition for the root than for the length, since the color will be more transparent at the length.

When you prepare your work area to apply product to your hair, be careful. You can dilute all the necessary compositions in bowls (for example, one for the roots and the second for the length), but do not stir the one that you will apply last, so that the reaction necessary for coloring does not begin.

If during bleaching the result is not the one you expected, but darker, do not forget to use the color rule: in accordance with the lightening background, choose the depth of tone for tinting.
