For reasons of "hair chemistry" that I don't know, this hair seems to be the most difficult to achieve in a salon. This is the subtype that most often comes with the wrong hair color. Colorists refuse to do this color, inclining clients in favor of blond, red or something more “cheerful” for very muted, grayish skin.

Mild Summer hair can vary in darkness more than you might think. The base color of the hair is usually quite dark, but there is no black in the hair, eyelashes, or eyes. Shannon's correct hair, very indicative of her subtype. The yellow highlights are a little unusual, but they don't get in the way and the head overall looks very good.

Mild summer hair needs some volume, otherwise a woman may feel "dimply brown" or "mousy" compared to her friends. Mild summer feels more organic with the addition of a second color to the hair. Therefore, add light strands - highlights. But not yellow! The yellower the hair, the grayer and duller the eyes will be. Don’t fool around with the red one either: it’s very difficult to get him out later.

Make the strands light brown. Too much ash will look flat. Too light ones will look striped and dissonant. Opt for cool brown coloring in the medium to light range, with a touch of warmth, but only a couple of shades lighter than your base hair color. Not apricot, not toffee, not caramel - they are all too warm. This must be Brown color bumps, maybe cold caramel in the lightest hairs.

Do you see the same colors around the pupil of the eye? Look how good hair repeat in the center of the eye? Aren't natural colors the best?

The effects of hair coloring should not be obvious. This season is not meant to look shiny or glowy. Mild summer is not sunny. Don't listen to ideas about brightness of the whole head - just like bright colors in makeup. Just as people will only see dark eyeliner, too bright lips, they will only see hair highlight bars.

Do all members of the subtype have the same hair, or should they? Of course not. But the skin's reaction to color within the subtype is the same, so the best outfits, makeup, and hair will be very similar shades. General things are general, but there are always exceptions.

Nature creates many variations. Make your hair shade 2 levels lighter than your eyebrows and it will look fake, harsh and evil. Shannon's brows are cooler than her hair, but it works, and we opted for a similar eyeliner to support her makeup look.
Some seasons can wear dark eyebrows with much blond hair, but not Soft Summer. Bold and unexpected ideas do not fit into the concept of a soft summer.

Highlighting suits “Fly” very well. The main thing is that the lighter strands do not have a yellowish tint.

And also, when choosing a hair dye, make sure that the word ash is present in the name, which means a sign of coldness in tone. For example, light ash brown, ash brown, medium ash blonde, etc.

Hair shades for summer color type:

Hair coloring (recommendations for Light Summer)
"It is Summer that is most often dissatisfied with its natural color hair. He sees a mousy hue everywhere. Therefore, representatives of this color type dye their hair much more often than others. And, therefore, much more often they become victims of color experiments, which, alas, are not always successful. So, what does Lethe need to remember so that all his experiments succeed? Ash tone Summer color hair is due to a high proportion of gray-brown pigment. But in general, there is noticeably less pigment in summer-type hair than in cold winter-type hair. Therefore, if Summer wants to update his hair color by dyeing or tinting, he should still remain within his scale
Otherwise, you risk looking ten years older. The ideal colors are silver or platinum blonde.
My advice to you is to stop dyeing your hair dark in the future. The fact is that with its help you will not become a Contrasting Summer, and it will cause considerable problems with choosing makeup and wardrobe. I haven’t seen any photos with natural hair color, but I’ll let you cut off my head, current color adds you to best case scenario a couple of years.
If you want to refresh the look of your hair, opt for thick highlights (using foil), 1-2 shades lighter than your natural color. It is advisable to leave the strands framing the face unbleached."

Gentlemen prefer blondes! Perhaps light shades of hair will never go out of fashion. Over the past couple of years, avid fashionistas have begun to prefer cold, ashen colors to many blonde colors. Models, bloggers, and actresses, painted in the so-called ash-blond, look at us from the covers of magazines, TV screens and computer monitors.

About technology

Ash blonde is an ultra-fashionable type of coloring of strands in a cold ash color scheme. Whatever shade you choose, it will invariably attract the eye. Beauties fell in love with silver, beige-ash colors, with brown, beige, smoky and lilac tints, shades of steel, antique rose, and ash. The field for experimentation is quite large; the only rule is put at the forefront: pure color without warm yellow or reddish inclusions.

Cold ash blonde has no natural analogue, so it is not suitable for everyone. Remember also that no coloring at home can compare with the result obtained by the hands of a competent master. This image looks great on long hair, but also suitable for medium and short haircuts. A touch of glamorous chic and sophistication will be added to your look. No one will dare to say that you are behind fashion! Ash blonde, made in a trusted salon, will highlight the beauty of the skin and the expressiveness of the eyes. It will be difficult not to pay attention to the luxurious ash blonde!

How to switch from other shades to ash-blond?

With a competent and qualified approach, cool blonde can be achieved on hair of almost any color. First, the colorist delicately lightens the hair. An important task is to maintain their health. There is no single instruction for everyone, since the shade and condition of everyone’s hair is different. The technology is selected taking into account the initial data. If you are a dark-haired or red-haired girl, a long multi-step procedure is required, but it does not cause harm. But no matter how well the colorist does the coloring, the result will also depend on the original color. So, if initially the strands are bright red, noticeably copper or yellow, it is almost impossible to achieve a pure, cold blonde without subjecting yourself to serious negative impact dyes. The use of strong chemicals in this case is almost never justified, since “cold” is often not suitable for owners of hair with noticeably warm tones.

Ombre will make the luxurious transformation even more expressive. Thanks to the darkened area at the roots, the ashy shade of the main part of the hairstyle will sound even more elegant and dynamic.

Varieties

The beauty industry has developed, in addition to the classic ash-blond, many other equally interesting variations:

• Сrystal ash-blond (delicate transparent shades with pearlescent shine, deep icy glow);
• Ash-grey (can be compared to cooled ash in a fire; in a matte ash-gray design, the strands have no shine and look powdery);
• Ash-beige (beige creates a romantic and airy image, looks more natural);
• Ash-brown (darker and richer is suitable for brown-eyed beauties with expressive facial features; a powdery effect will add a touch of glamor);
• Ash-silver (the silver color of the Snow Queen looks most advantageous when combined with a darkened root zone);
• Ash-blue (a youth trend in which tenderness plays with a literally cosmic presentation);
• Antique rose (a coloring option that will make you the main character of a fairy tale and take you into an atmosphere of romance and magic);
• Lilac ash (in the world of dreams and fantasy, you will be the main fairy; sophistication and sophistication in combination with the appropriate set of clothes is guaranteed).

While you are choosing the right look, stylists are not sitting idle: every month more and more “icy” looks are being created. Ask a Hair-City master, what if there is something completely unique for you? Our hairdressers are ready to experiment for the sake of your beauty.

The main thing is to choose the right shade from the presented palette of coloring pigments.

Color Features

Blonde color is loved by many beauties. It allows the curls to open up during the sun's play, making the owner's image bright and stylish.

Advantages of dyeing in light colors:

• you become 5–10 years younger, since the blonde attracts attention, distracting from wrinkles and sagging facial skin;
• you can vary your image using different shades: “cold” blonde will make you confident, “warm” undertones will reveal your femininity, and peach, lilac or caramel notes will emphasize the extravagance of your image;

• Bronding perfectly masks gray hair that is just beginning to emerge;
• Thanks to the stretching of the color, an increase in volume is created, and your hairstyle looks much fuller.

Among the disadvantages of dyeing blonde, one can highlight the aggressive effect of oxidizing agents on the structure of curls. Oxides remove their own pigment, making hair lifeless and devoid of moisture. If you do not carry out rehabilitation, then soon the curls will become lifeless and split like straw.

Who is it suitable for?

Each shade of blonde is advisable to use for girls of different color types. For example, for Summer and Autumn women who have peach, olive or tanned skin and bright, expressive blue, brown or green eyes, the following options are suitable:

• mocha;

Blonde beauties with green or blue eyes and porcelain skin Hairdressing experts recommend giving preference to the following tones:

• creamy;
• cold beige;
• pastel strawberry.

Be careful when choosing a shade, as a poorly chosen option can make your look faded, unattractive, or create an imbalance in your everyday look.

There are also universal colors that suit all color types. For example, golden blonde in the world of beauty is recognized as an expensive and luxurious shade that can decorate the face of any beauty.

Important point! If you dye your curls in cool shades of blonde yourself, then be sure to use a purple toner, the purpose of which is to remove yellowness. A 30-40 level toner is suitable for you. The product is washed off with plain water acidified with vinegar.

Women who prefer cool beige colors (ash, pearl) note that it is not possible to predict how the pigment will fall on their curls. In this matter, everything depends on the chosen dye, the original hair color, hormonal levels and general condition hair health. That is why It is recommended to dye one strand to test the selected dye.

A pure beige tone in the palette of coloring pigment manufacturers is very rare, because even in nature it is difficult to meet a girl with natural beige curls. As a rule, this tone is complemented by sandy notes.

This option fits perfectly on dark brown and reddish hair. Women who choose light beige often face the problem of a yellow tint. The way out of the situation is to use a toner or add a little pearlescent color corrector during coloring.

If you don't know whether to choose a warm or cool shade, do a quick test. Stand near a mirror in a lighted room and highlight a section of hair. If it reflects golden, red, red or brown tint, warm colors will suit you. And, conversely, silver, ash, gray and other notes indicate that it is more advisable to color your curls in a cold range.

Coloring at home

Recently, coloring has become popular when the hair roots are several shades darker than the base color distributed along the length of the curls. This coloring option will make your bow more natural and slightly careless. It will suit both feminine ladies and girls who profess kitsch style.

Besides, the best option during dyeing, color stretching is rightfully considered when each curl smoothly flows from a darker tone to a lighter one. It can be performed using various patented techniques, which are known to us under various names: balayage, ombre, shatush, Venetian highlighting. But this does not change the essence.

Technique for dyeing blonde “color stretching”:

1. Choose several paint options. In this case, the tones should not move away from each other by 2 positions. It is best to purchase a lightener and color corrector.
2. Prepare the dye according to the instructions.
3. Comb your hair thoroughly and divide your hair into zones. You should always start from the back of the head, since this is where the pigment on the curls takes the longest to activate.
4. It is advisable to comb each selected strand. The lightest color is applied to the bottom, starting approximately from the line of the shoulders or ears, depending on the length of the hair. If desired, you can wrap this area in foil, which will allow the color to appear more vibrantly.
5. A darker tone is applied just above the painted area, shading it from top to bottom (from the roots to the other colored area). If your natural color is quite light, do not come close to the scalp, but rather step back a few centimeters.
6. In a similar way, I comb and dye the rest of my hair, completing the procedure at the temples.
7. Wait for the time specified by the manufacturer.
8. The dye is washed off and restorative therapy occurs - conditioner, hair mask, vitamin cocktails.
9. If necessary, to get rid of yellowness, use a tinting agent with anti-yellow pigment. It is advisable for them to wash their hair the next day after dyeing.

Expert advice. If you want to do a complete coloring from roots to ends, simply apply most of the prepared dye to the roots, and then comb the curls to distribute the pigment along the entire length. They always start from the back of the head, moving towards the temples.

This is one of the most popular shades today. Naturalness is in fashion. Gone are the hydropyrolic blondes with unnatural white-yellow hair, while the girl with brown hair- this is blonde at her best. What is noteworthy is that many women have their natural ash-colored light brown color, but it seemed to them not expressive enough, and they repainted it, which they now regret. How to return to this shade or make it more expressive?

Ash brown hair color: photo

Such curls can vary in tone: light, medium, dark. Intermediate options are also possible; they can be seen in the lines of hair dye manufacturers: light light ash blonde, light ash

fair-haired and so on. In any case, such a girl will be considered blonde. In the West, this color is called: light ash blonde, medium ash blonde and dark ash blonde (ashy light brown). Sometimes this color is also called “ash blonde.” Not to be confused with platinum blonde! Platinum is a silver clear tone and ash is a gray tone. To be precise, in this photo it is platinum blonde, light blonde would have a slightly more grayish-green tint. How do you understand what a midtone is? On next photo at Taylor Swift

really very accurate ash medium brown color. There are other shades. Sometimes ashy dark blond is confused with cool brown. But in the first one the gray component is a little more pronounced, and it gives the impression of a lighter and lighter shade. Ash blonde color can have a subtle warm tint, as in the photo on the right,

but warmth, of course, will not dominate, otherwise it will be a different palette. However, this photo is not very revealing; the warm component is clearly enhanced in it (this is easy to notice if you pay attention to the color of the skin). The light brown color may also have a light golden tint. It does not quite fit the definition of “ashy”, but in certain lighting such hair can give the impression of being ashy.

Dyeing ash brown

It all depends on the original hair color. If they have already been painted, then you will have to carry out a course of washes. If the hair is red, then two or three washes; if it is black, then more. The most difficult thing is to extinguish the warm pigment. This cannot be achieved with regular hair dyes that say “ash blonde.” They contain pure pigments that can only be used to color the original white hair, but they do not contain anything that will neutralize your warm pigment. In order to ultimately obtain the desired shade, professional paint you need to add a mixton. Or choose a paint option that already contains the necessary pigments. It can be either green (it extinguishes reddishness), or blue (it neutralizes reddishness), or violet, which can dull yellowness. If you have naturally red, dark or golden-brown hair, then applying ready-made store-bought ash dye can give a greenish or yellowish tint, so the curls must first be well bleached. In any case, dyeing your hair ashy is quite difficult, and there can be no clear recommendations here. Everything depends not only on the original color, but also on its type: for example, very dark brown hair from nature will give an active red color with any dyeing or washing.
