Bronzing for light brown hair photo

Features of light brown hair

Natural light brown hair has many natural shades, both in cold and warm colors. Because it is a neutral shade, it works well with both lighter and darker tones. And this allows you to perform coloring using a variety of colors.

Hairdressers consider natural hair of various light brown shades to be an almost ideal base for any type of hair bronzing.

But with previously painted in ash-blond tones, you need to work very carefully. With the wrong choice of paints, they can begin to give off an unpleasant green, which can be quite difficult to neutralize.

Interestingly, bronzing for light brown hair can be done quite easily even at home.

If the color of the strands turns out to be a little lighter or darker than intended, it will not create too much contrast with the base color. This means that when dyeing thin strands, the mistakes of an amateur master will not be noticeable.

What is booking

Bronding is one of the types of coloring that combines two colors - blond (light) and brown (brown). This is truly a jeweler's work, which consists in combining several shades at once, differing in the degree of saturation. The color palette of bronzing is wide enough.

For light-haired hair, you can choose any shade - golden, beige, ash, coffee, chocolate, mother-of-pearl, etc.

This staining technique has many different advantages:

• Makes hair color deeper, richer and more expressive;
• Returns shine to strands, gives them thickness;
• Disguises gray hair;
• Allows you to grow your native color;
• Does not require frequent corrections due to the fact that the dye does not touch the hair roots;
• Refreshes the face and makes it younger;
• Not as harmful to the health of the strands as complete dyeing.

Description of the technique

1. The natural hair color is diluted with strands of brown and light shades. The painted part differs from the natural color by 2-3 tones.
2. If the difference is greater, you get highlights. Minimal contrast results in a radiant effect and versatile natural color.
3. Therefore, bronzing will go to girls who want to improve their color, but are not ready for a full-fledged painting.
4. The result will appeal to lovers of the effect of hair slightly touched by the sun. The strands are painted almost from the very roots: you need to retreat at least 2-3 centimeters.
5. The distance, on the contrary, is reduced when masking the first gray hair.

Result:

1. shine and shine;
2. visual increase in volume, density;
3. complex, multifaceted shade;
4. correction of regrown roots;
5. natural effect of burnt hair.

Peculiarities:

• color boundaries are carefully shaded;
• smooth transition;
• it is impossible to use shades of warm and cold colors at the same time.

Pros and cons of staining

The procedure has many merits, it is not for nothing that many celebrities from the world of cinema and show business choose her:

1. brond successfully sets off the skin, refreshes the face, thereby making a woman younger;
2. curls acquire additional volume, visually seem thicker, more lush;
3. shine with a healthy shine, shimmer beautifully;
4. the technique helps to remove yellow pigment, hide gray hair and the results of unsuccessful attempts to turn into a blonde;
5. frequent correction is not required. Due to the smooth transition of shades, overgrown roots usually do not stand out from the overall picture;
6. the hairstyle looks new, very natural, which is facilitated by the natural colors;
7. you can grow the "native" color or even out the dyed one.

Disadvantages of bronzing for blonde hair:

• high price;
• the complexity of execution, especially at home;
• duration of the procedure;
• restrictions and contraindications. These include excessive dryness and damage to the structure of hairs, pregnancy and breastfeeding (due to hormonal changes in the body, it is difficult to predict the result of staining).

Attention! Bronding for short blond hair is only relevant if the length of the strands is no shorter than 10 centimeters, otherwise the gradient will not work.

Cost in the salon and at home use

The average price of a service provided by metropolitan salons is from 4.5 to 12 thousand rubles. Such a wide range is due to the type of technique, the original color of the curls (whether correction is required), the professionalism of the master, the number of shades.

Also keep in mind that the cost of booking light hair varies from region to region.

At home, brond staining can be made much cheaper, because you have to spend only on paint and additional materials. When choosing a chemical composition, it is better to give preference to dyes without ammonia.

WELLA, Schwarzkopf, L'Oreal, as well as Parisienne, Organic, Keune have proven themselves well. The cost of one package starts at 400 rubles, you will need 2-3.

Shades of paints should differ from their curls color by a maximum of 3 tones. Otherwise, bronzing of light brown hair will turn into highlighting or coloring, and the effect of naturalness will be lost.

What shades and colors are suitable

The choice of colors for blondes is due to the color type of appearance. Blond hair is typical for "spring" and "summer" types. The first will graciously perceive a warm color scheme, the second - a cold one.

For the "spring" girl, light brown, beige, honey, coffee shades, wheat color and warm gold are best suited. With their help, you can make successful accents and luxurious overflows, which resemble the play of sun bunnies on curls.

Belonging to the "summer" color type orients blondes to completely different tones:

• linen;
• pearl;
• ash-blond;
• pearl;
• platinum;
• cold blond;
• nutty coffee.

A soft gradient in combination of these colors will create a luminous effect.

The length of the hair affects the dyeing technique and the number of shades. Medium to long curls can be bronzed with 2-3 tones to achieve a shine and shade transitions close to natural.

This coloring looks most impressive on graduated haircuts. Too short strands cannot be toned; on bob or bob hairstyles, you can try to lighten the ends of the strands.

Attention! Bronzing blonde hair with shades of cold and warm palette at the same time is unacceptable.

Types of staining

• Classic. It is carried out in 2 stages. First, the strands are highlighted, and after a couple of days they are painted in a light tone. The color is uneven, but beautiful, similar to sun glare or shimmer. For the classics, they take pale brown, light chocolate or ash shades, golden honey or beige, coffee palette.

• California. The transitions between colors are natural, because the curls are painted in an open way, without the use of foil. The root zone is made dark: chocolate, coffee or chestnut, and the ends are lightened.It is important that the tone is as close as possible to its "own" color. Light brown is recommended for ash blondes; brown will fit well on hair with a golden tint. Do not touch the strands along the length.

California bronzing is sometimes called Hollywood, and this is no coincidence: the chic effect can be seen in the photos of many celebrities.

• The ombre effect, or "the effect of regrown roots". The technique allows you to showcase the richness of the palette of blond shades. For such bronding take 2-3 tones of the same color. The transition from the dark root zone to the light tips is imperceptible or pronounced. The dark part can be about 4 centimeters wide or reach the cheekbones.

The most beneficial ombre effect emphasizes the beauty of long hair and looks great on cascading haircuts.

Zonal. With this method, the master will offer to paint some one part of the hair, usually the upper one. The lower one is not touched or, with the help of dyes, its color is leveled, bringing it closer to natural. For greater effect, several strands are tinted in the upper zone, sometimes also roots.

The shade is selected so that it matches the color of the lower part of the hair.

By the way. Also, on light brown curls, they practice light, glare bronding and the SUPER NATURE technique with the effect of iridescent colors, in which very thin strands are painted in honey chestnut, beige or walnut brown.

How to choose a shade for light brown hair

When choosing dyes for coloring, colors are selected so that they differ from the main one by no more than 3 tones. In this case, the transition will look as natural as possible. The determining factor when choosing is color type:

• For women with snow-white skin and a cold color type, linen, pearl, ash and coffee-nut colors are ideal, which will help soften facial features and deepen the native shade, creating a slight glow effect on the hair.
• Happy owners of a warm color type should use golden honey, coffee, wheat and beige tones to create "sun glare".

POPULAR COLORING TECHNIQUES

Listed below are those bronzing styles that look great on blond hair, giving it a certain twist and charm.

NATURAL STYLE

It also has a name - super nature. When performing it, the master tries to give the curls the maximum naturalness by using dye compositions that are similar in tone and color to the main hairline. Separate, very thin strands are colored, as a result of which natural transitions and overflows of the color palette on the hair are obtained.

The technique is suitable for use on long and medium curls. The tones used in the style are light brown with beige and walnut tints, as well as dark honey shades.

SUN GLARES

This style appeared recently, but has already managed to win the trust and respect of fair-haired people. It is based on dyeing the upper strands in cold, light blond tones, which create the effect of sun glare on the hairline.

With the correct selection of the tonality of the coloring composition, you can get the effect of natural transitions between tones. This technique can be performed on short and medium hair, but on long curls it is impossible to create a natural "sunbeams" effect.

The procedure uses the following tones - pearl-blond, milk-cream and light caramel.

ZONAL

When bronzing in this style, only the upper part of the strands is stained. The deeper layers of the hair are not touched at all (if the color is monochromatic and rather saturated) or partially tinted in brighter light brown tones. This is done in order to create a more expressive color scheme in the hair.

The peculiarity of this style is that only strands of certain areas (bangs, temples, ends, etc.) are stained. This allows you to brighten the complexion by focusing on its features.This style is perfect for those with medium to short hairstyles.

The colors used in the process of staining with such a technique are many, the main condition is that they should not differ from the main tone by more than 3 points.

CLASSICAL

This technique is performed in stages: first, individual strands are highlighted, after 3-4 days they are painted in lighter tones, while smooth transitions between colors are created. This technique was the ancestor of bronding, but gradually interest in it fades away, since the process uses double dyeing, which causes serious harm to the health of the strands.

This style is suitable for all hair lengths except very short hair (less than 10 cm).

The colors used during the procedure are light tones of walnut, coffee and brown palettes, as well as honey and ash.

OMBRE

This kind of booking technique is in trend right now. It is used by both young people and adolescents and people of age. It is based on the coloring of the lower half of the hairline, with a smooth, blurred transition, while the root zone is not colored, like the upper part of each strand.

This hairstyle looks very impressive on the one hand, and natural and natural on the other.

It was this combination that made this style very popular among people of different ages. The style can be done on medium to long hairstyles.

The color palette used in the procedure is varied, but should not differ from the main tone by 2-3 positions.

Should I do this staining?

On curls of light and dark blond shades

If you understand this issue, then everything will depend on the length and structure of the hair.

The Brond technique looks great on light blond and dark blond curls. It should be borne in mind that long, even strands or slightly wavy are ideal for bronzing - on such curls, flicker and glare look very impressive and distinct.

To find out exactly how applicable hair booking is to your hairstyle, you need to contact a specialist.

Medium or short length

If the length of the curls is 10 cm or less, then it is better not to apply bronzing - there is not enough length to stretch the color shades to a beautiful overflow. Also, do not use this technique if the hair is very curly or porous, damaged by constant chemical exposure.

In the case of a short haircut, it is better to grow the hair to the desired length, and only then apply the bronde.

Features of execution

Before you go on booking light brown hair, assess their condition. A good master will never undertake dyeing hair that is heavily split or burnt when lightening or perming hair. They must first be restored.

By the way, doing bronzing after chemistry is pointless - on too curly hair, the effect of it is practically invisible and will not add beauty to you. The same applies to naturally curly hair - the steep curls lightened at the ends will look very unnatural.

Selecting a gamma

It is very important to initially determine, independently or with the help of a master, your natural color scheme. Naturally ash-blonde hair can be tinted with extremely cold shades of this color: nut, pearl, mocha, platinum, etc. Moreover, the tone of the paint at the roots should be as close to natural as possible.

Bronzing for light brown hair from a palette of warm shades (from light chestnut to golden) can be beaten with any additional colors from the same range: wheat, honey, caramel, etc.

But in no case should you mix cold and warm tones in one hairstyle - the strands will look dirty or gray. It is unlikely that this effect will please you.

Types of staining

Hair salon bronding has many varieties. And the success of the entire procedure depends by 90% on how correctly the type of staining is chosen.

• Therefore, it is very important to do it with an experienced master who specializes in coloring. Not all hairdressers are equally good at cutting and dyeing hair.
• Coloring is akin to art and requires an excellent sense of color and delicate taste. The combination of various modern techniques allows you to achieve delightful colors - from natural to trendy. At the same time, a good master takes into account the length and thickness of the hair, their condition, facial features and the client's color type.

The most common armoring techniques remain:

• Classic. From the previously darkened roots, 2-3 additional shades of strands go down and beautifully shimmer. Suitable for all hair lengths and refreshes the look.
• Zonal. Looks impressive even on short haircuts with long bangs or on a bob square, when the area near the face is highlighted in a lighter tone.
• Brond ombre. Suitable for medium to long hair. It is especially beautiful when such bronzing is done on dark blond hair, straight or slightly wavy, which is strongly lightened towards the ends.
• California. Can be used to transition to a natural light brown color from a classic blonde. The roots are dyed in a basic, close to natural, tone, and it is also added in separate strands, with each subsequent dyeing more and more.
• Light. And this look, on the contrary, allows you to smoothly transition any shade of light brown to a classic blond, gradually adding more and more light strands.
• Supernatural. It is now at the peak of popularity, since with masterful performance it is not at all visible that the hair has been dyed, but it becomes shiny, voluminous and shimmers beautifully in the light.
• Glare. One of the most gentle methods, which consists in the fact that the master adds only a few selected strands, which creates the effect of sun glare on the hair.

In such a variety, it is difficult for an inexperienced person to navigate. Therefore, it is better to entrust the choice of the type of booking to a specialist, as well as the selection of the main and additional tones.

A good master will always take into account your wishes, but at the same time he will build on the natural color of the hair, its condition and other important factors.

Performing at home

• It is realistic to make the coloring itself, but it is almost impossible to achieve a salon effect, especially the first time.
• You need to know the application technique in order to make a beautiful transition, to correctly select and combine colors.
• Set up your workplace in advance, where the paints and all the equipment will lie.
• It is best to do this near a mirror in a well-lit room. Watch video tutorials, print step-by-step instructions.
• It will be better if they help you, since it is very difficult to paint the back of the head on your own.

Step-by-step instruction:

1. Prepare the coloring composition in any non-metallic container, brush, foil. Take care of your comb, shoulder cover and gloves in advance.
2. The foil should be cut into long strips.
3. Spray your hair or wet it by hand. They should be slightly damp, but not wet. No water should flow from them.
4. Separate the top layer of hair, keeping the parting straight.
5. Take a comb with a fine handle and divide your hair into thin strands. Make zigzag movements with the handle, "pushing" the strands in opposite directions. Pin the strands under the comb separately from those over the comb.
6. Separate one strand and place on the foil. Step back a few centimeters from the roots and "press" the strand with a brush. Gently slide down, pushing harder. When you're done applying paint, fold the foil in half and fold the edges.
7. Smear the ends tighter than the main length.
8. Smear the ends tighter than the main length.
9. Alternate brown and light dyes. The strands must be of different colors.
10. Additionally, color a few curls in random order for visual volume.
11. Leave the paint on for 30-50 minutes. The exact holding time depends on the paint.Information can be found on the packaging or the manufacturer's official website.
12. Rinse off the paint until the water is clear.
13. Shampoo your hair once or twice as needed.
14. Apply a mask or balm, leave for half an hour.
15. Rinse off the balm, dry your hair.

Features of care after staining

First of all, do an audit of the hair cosmetics shelves. Leave or buy only those that are marked: "for colored strands." They prevent the dye from being washed out and make the color brighter. In addition to shampoo, stock up on balm, rinse (you can make it yourself - from vinegar, lemon juice or herbal decoction), masks.

Caring agents should restore the structure of hair shafts, prevent hair loss, and eliminate dryness. It is desirable that the purchased products were produced by the same company - this guarantees a good combination of drugs.

Massage your scalp regularly using a brush, fingers, or a special appliance. Drink vitamins to strengthen your hair after dyeing. Using a hairdryer, curling iron or iron, apply thermal protection to the curls. Protect hair from the sun, chlorinated water.

Some hairdressers recommend doing biolamination after bronzing. It will give the hair even more shine, fix the color, and protect the strands from negative external factors.

Coloring in the brond style brings light curls to life, as if breathing new life into them. Shine, radiance, bright play, luxurious color - what else can a modern beauty dream of? Booking is not the simplest and cheapest procedure, and in order to maintain the effect, you also need to try. But the advantages of the technology are undeniable and visible to the naked eye.

What hair care products do professional hairdressers recommend to pay attention to:

• Hair Happiness by Lebel;
• DD hair care spray Faberlic Expert Styling;
• moisturizing serum Kapous professional for hair restoration;
• professional hair care from L'Or? al;
• review of shampoos with a recovery effect;
• regenerating ampoules for hair.

Preparation for staining

Before painting, prepare the paint according to the instructions. Now you can start booking your hair.

If the hair color needs to be changed, we dye the hair as usual in the base color.

• The next stage is highlighting. To do this, you need to distribute the hair into 6 main zones: the parietal region, occipital - left and right, temporal - left and right, bangs. We take two tones - light and dark from the shades of paint you have chosen. You need to start from the back of the head. Separate thin strands of hair of different thickness, laying them on foil. Having made an indent from the roots 3-4 cm and not reaching 5-6 cm to the end, apply a tone that is darker. On the remaining unpainted ends, apply a tone that is lighter. Carefully and tightly wrap the dyed strands with foil. Use the same principle to paint the parietal, temporal zones and bangs. If you want to highlight the contour of the face, lighten the strands that frame it - the temporal and frontal zones.
• The final touch is the most crucial. On the strands that were left unpainted in the previous step, randomly apply paint. It is the last "random" application of dye that distinguishes bronding from other dyeing techniques, which gives the hair the effect of playing sun glare.

It is impossible to keep the paint for more than 40 minutes. If you overexpose, the effect of natural overflow will be lost.

Precautionary measures. What to fear using this technique?

Despite the fact that bronding is considered one of the safest hair coloring techniques, there are still several nuances that should be considered, especially if the procedure is carried out at home.

Be sure to check the paint for the presence or absence of an allergic reaction.

If you have recently lightened, highlighted or colored your hair, the colors you choose may give a different shade.

Reviews of booking for light brown hair

We conducted a survey among fair-haired women who used the bronda technique. Are they happy with the result? Let's find out!

• Olga, 26 years old: I made a zonal booking in the salon 2 months ago. I was afraid to do it at home - it's too complicated a procedure. This is the best color scheme I've ever had! Hair shimmers like the covers of glossy magazines.
• Specialist comment: Bronding at home can only be done if you are sure that you can dye your hair correctly.
• Elena, 20 years old: From the age of 16 I have been dyeing my hair red with henna. My native hair color is light brown, but it always seemed to me that it was kind of gray. Upon learning about the booking, I immediately wanted to return my color and refresh it using this technique. I decided to dye my hair with the main light brown color at home, and after dyeing, go to the hairdresser on the brond. I waited for the bright red color to go away, bought a paint for the main color, which is closest to my natural color. In general, the experiment failed already at the first stage - the paint gave a yellowish tint. While repainted again in red. It's better to go to a specialist right away.

• Specialist comment: Unfortunately, you did not wait for the red color to be completely washed off. Henna always appears on a new hair color in the form of a yellowish tint, especially if it is light tones. Therefore, before changing the color of your hair, you must definitely wait until the henna is completely washed off.
• Tatiana, 32 years old: I have already done bronding on my light brown hair 3 times. First classic, then zonal, I tried ombre for the last time. I am delighted with any kind of bronde, but still I like the classic one better. Bronding really makes me look younger, it's not a myth. How the hair color fades after a while - immediately the complexion seems to fade, and the skin "fades". I can say that this coloring technique is not only a stylish trend, but also an excellent solution to the problem of skin aging, at least visually.
• Expert commentary: The classic type of bronda is more popular among women over 30, as it looks as natural as possible and does not have obvious shade transitions. "Rejuvenation" is achieved by lightening the hair along the contour of the face.

Bronding is a creative process that requires special skills and maximum concentration. Do this procedure at home or go to the salon with a decent bag and a considerable amount of time - it's up to you. Be irresistible!
