Main selection criteria
Before going to the hairdresser or to the storeWhen choosing a color, you need to determine the most suitable color for you, taking into account the features of your appearance: skin type, natural shade of hair and eyes. If you break the harmony, the image will be inexpressive and scattered. In order not to make a mistake, you need to try to determine the color of your appearance (color type). There are 4 color types - spring, summer, autumn and winter. Understanding them can be very difficult, especially if a woman has a low-contrast or intermediate color type. Very often, in order to understand their color type and choose a paint, women resort to the help of stylists, but this is not cheap. It is difficult to determine it yourself, but it is quite possible. Each color has its own spectrum of the most suitable tones and hair colors. Moreover, you need to determine not only the appropriate color, but the tone, which can be cold and warm. Of course, you can determine the color type yourself, but for this you need to know the basic criteria that determine this or that color of appearance. You need to approach the choice very seriously, because in order to wash off the dye, you will need to treat your favorite curls with compounds containing chemicals, which will have a negative effect on their health.
Spring - non-contrasting warm color type
Owners of spring appearance have lighteyes (usually green, blue or hazel), natural hair color varies from blond to brown. The skin of the "spring" is light. In addition, the skin has a warm undertone (yellow or golden). Spring women can safely dye their hair honey or golden blond, dark red and soft brown. Any soft shades can be combined with this color type, but you should avoid pale red, as it will make the face visually very pale. If a woman has dark red hair by nature or does not want to be a blonde, then you can dye your curls in light brown, as well as chocolate tones. It is very important that individual strands are dyed soft golden. Every spring woman is advised to avoid cold platinum and dark ash shades, as well as very light blondes - these colors are very cold for a warm skin type. Black color will not suit such appearance, as it will make it nondescript and dull. Since the spring color type is naturally non-contrasting, it is better not to deviate too much from the natural shade. If a spring woman has very light skin, hazel eyes and natural light brown hair, her image will be emphasized by warm copper and brown tones. The natural color can be made richer with copper or golden strands, but at the same time avoiding cold platinum or ash shades.
Summer - low-contrast cold color type
Light eyes (gray or blue), naturalhair color varies from soft brown, pale face, cool skin tone (pinkish or bluish). Ash-blond, ash, platinum and just white color are perfect for summer women. In addition, other cool shades can be used for coloring. Summer (by the way, and Spring too) as a non-contrasting color type almost never suit dark tones, so they need to choose something soft. A woman can dye her hair blonde if she had a whitish shade in childhood or curls easily burn out in the sun. In this case, nature helps to understand that a light color will look good, you just need to choose the right shade. If a woman has pink skin, on which a blush can flare up at any second, and green or blue eyes, she will look good with light curls, but at the same time you need to avoid pinkish shades, as they will give the face an unhealthy redness. If a woman has a yellowish tint to her skin, she should stay away from deep golden tones, as they will also make her skin look unhealthy. At the same time, if nature has gifted a woman with brown eyes, she should be careful: after lightening, the lady may look like a colorless creature with an unpleasant, heavy look. Women of the summer type often have hair of a slightly mousey, indistinct shade by nature, but this can be easily corrected by dyeing it in a delicate brown tone, which will not only revive the strands and give them depth, but also refresh the skin color. However, representatives of the summer color type should be wary of very dark tones, because rich chestnut shades will greatly age a summer woman.
Autumn - contrasting warm color type
Dark or light eye color (green, blue,black and brown), natural hair color varies from the lightest brown to brunette, the complexion is brighter than in spring, and the skin has a warm (yellow or golden) shade. Rich colors suit autumn ladies, namely warm chocolate, chestnut, brown tones. The autumn color type accepts the use of black, but it should have golden strands. An autumn woman looks organically with dark blond or red hair of warm copper, golden shades, but it is better for her to never become a blonde, since the skin next to light tones will visually look unnaturally dark. Among the large number of brown shades, each lady can easily choose the one that suits her. So, if a woman has dark eyes and natural chestnut or nut hair, they can be dyed chestnut and diluted with dark red, chocolate colors or strands of mahogany shade - this will significantly enhance the color and give a natural look. At the same time, you should avoid gold, orange and copper tones, they are too bright for this color type, which will make the face appear dull.
Winter - contrasting cold color type
Dark or light eyes (brown, black,blue, gray), the natural hair color varies from brown to dark brunette, the face is either very dark or very light, the skin has a cool (bluish or pink) undertone. In addition, women with this color type have a pronounced contrast between the iris and the whites of the eyes. Winters will look very good with ash-blond color. Even if a winter woman has a very pale face, it is best for her to avoid all shades of blond, as well as golden and warm tones, while black is perfect for this color type. If a lady loves extravagance, having dyed her curls deep black, she can emphasize them with cold red or blue curls. So, in blue-black hair it will look truly magnificent. However, it is worth remembering that ladies with black hair should have flawless clear skin. When choosing black or a very dark shade, you must definitely pay attention to the facial features. In women with rougher features, this color can make the face repulsive or even unattractive. Knowing how to choose the right hair color for your color type, a winter woman can always look bright and beautiful.
Choosing a color for gray hair
A new hair color can help not only createa new look, but also to hide age. After all, the fastest way to remove gray hair is to dye your hair. Gray hair has a special structure, because of this, dyeing it can be difficult. So, how to choose a good color to mask gray hair? The main rule: the older a woman gets, the lighter the dye should be, but at the same time its color should be closer to natural. If there is less than a quarter of gray hair on the head, then you can use an unstable gentle dye, which will be a tone paler than the natural color. But ladies who have much more gray hair on their heads need to dye their hair with very persistent dyes, carefully selecting shades. Even if a woman could previously afford to dye her hair in light tones, she should not make it light now, otherwise the face will acquire an unhealthy pallor. In this case, you can use a dark undertone of blond in order to give depth to the appearance. If the natural color is chestnut, you should not dye it lighter than dark red or light brown. Only those ladies with pale skin can afford to mask gray hair with bright red shades, otherwise the face will get a sickly blush. Eggplant, blackberry and copper shades of paint should be washed off gray hair a little faster than indicated in the instructions, otherwise the hair will become too saturated. Darker natural curls, especially black or dark chestnut, can be made three shades lighter and diluted with additional light strands to add volume. It is worth noting that hair darker than chocolate or very dark red will significantly age its owner.
