Features of black-ash color and who suits

Ash-black hair color, the photo of which has become increasingly common on the Internet, usually looks like black hair is slightly covered with ash.

It can have different names:

• pencil;
• color of wet asphalt;
• cold gray;
• black with gray hair;
• black with metal spraying;
• graphite.

Ash black is most suitable for people with a winter color type of appearance.

They have a distinct contrast between hair, eyes and skin color. Skin tone can be from snow-white to dark-skinned to olive. In people of this type, freckles and blush are either completely absent or subtle. If the skin is light, then it practically does not tan. If the skin is dark, then the tan lays on it evenly.

The color of the eyes is clear and bright, creating a contrast between the whiteness of the whites and the iris of the eye. The color of the eyes itself can be anything. Hair color in representatives of the winter type is usually dark, almost black. Let's say ashy hair color.

Ash black hair color is not suitable for those who:

• there are problems on the skin: uneven tone, redness, acne and other rashes;
• the complexion is grayish;
• natural hair color is red or golden;
• brittle, unhealthy hair, hair with split ends;
• the hair is already dyed in a different color.

Ash black is undesirable for representatives of "summer" and "autumn".

This hair color does not match their skin tone and can visually increase age or make a person's appearance inharmonious. This hair color is advised for girls under 30 years old. However, when stained by a professional colorist and the right shade, it will suit older women.

Who is it suitable for?

It is not always necessary to immediately realize the desire to dye your hair in one shade or another, because brunette girls with different eyes and skin colors, choosing the same option for dyeing, may look different as a result. For this reason, before deciding on ashy staining, you should take into account some of the nuances.

Ash in combination with black always looks advantageous either with dark skin or with aristocratic pallor of the face.

• For owners of green or brown eyes, ash-black color will give even greater brightness and expressiveness of the image. It is also suitable for girls with gray-blue eyes.
• It should also be borne in mind that a hairstyle with an ashy shade of dark hair will unwittingly emphasize all problems with the skin of the face.
• Lush curls will make this coloring option visually more voluminous.
• Ashes are not suitable for girls with too large facial features, as it will enhance their already great characteristics.

Hairstyles

The individual style and image depend on the options for dyeing hair in ash-black color, so you need to carefully consider which of the popular methods of dyeing will favorably emphasize all the advantages.

• Ash black ombre. As you know, ombre is a soft transition from one color to another. It is suitable for girls and women who do not want to completely change their dark hair color, but are ready to add ashy notes to it. This option will look especially impressive on hair below the shoulder line.From a practical point of view, in this way you can mask gray hair in your hair. Most of all, ashy ombre on black hair is suitable for the fair sex with a pale skin tone and gray-blue or green eyes.
• Highlighting. Ash highlighting is an equally effective option for dark-haired women. The alternation of resin and silver-ash strands will beautifully emphasize the lines of the hairstyle. Looks perfect on both short and long straight or wavy hair. As a result of this procedure, some strands in the salon are discolored with a special powder, and then tinted with ammonia-free paint.
• Ashes with black roots. This option looks great on long hair. The advantage of such coloring is that you do not need to often tint the regrown hair roots. In addition, the ash color in tandem with black natural hair does not change the look of brunette girls so dramatically. It should be remembered that this procedure cannot be carried out with hair that is dyed with henna, basma or other vegetable dyes. This type of coloring is also not recommended for permed curls.
