Hair color hazelnut

Color features

Nutty is a deep shade that can play with different colors depending on the chosen undertone. This explains its popularity among the owners of any native hair color. Brunettes choose walnut color in order to soften the natural darkness of the pigment, and blondes, on the contrary, to make the image more serious and even age-related.

We must not forget that the natural shade perfectly copes with gray hair. Walnut is used for both full and partial staining.

The main advantage of this color scheme is its versatility. It is suitable for both men and women, and of any age. There are also no restrictions regarding the hairstyle, as well as the length and characteristics of the hair. A wide palette allows you to periodically change tones and experiment with the image, but not deviate from the color that suits the type.

Finally, the shade itself looks very elegant and rich.

As for the shortcomings, some brunettes and brown-haired women will first have to discolor the strands, since the pigment manifests itself much more effectively on initially light curls.

In the case when earlier the hair was exposed to highlighting or even ordinary staining, you will have to entrust the coloring in the color of the walnut to a professional, since this shade is rather capricious. After the procedure, in order to maintain beautiful overflows and highlights, you will have to provide proper care for your hair.

For whom is the shade not suitable?

Even a fashionable and versatile tone has drawbacks, so sometimes it is better to refuse dyeing your hair in a hazelnut tone.

This is due to the following aspects:

• inept use of coloring pigment and non-compliance with the manufacturer's instructions. As a result, the staining result will differ from the desired one, therefore it is better not to paint yourself, but to do it in the salon;
• clients with very dark hair color will need to lighten them by several tones before dyeing.

The final result of dyeing is also influenced by the rigidity and structure of the hair, therefore it is necessary to choose a high quality paint that is able to obtain a uniform color. The choice of shade is best coordinated with the hairdresser.

It will be necessary to take into account the following nuances:

1. to dye dark and damaged curls, you can not use a strong oxidizer. This will destroy the structure of the hair, making it brittle and coarse. It is better to choose a 1% solution for this purpose;
2. at the first staining, clarification is required. The same should be done if staining or highlighting has been done repeatedly;
3. after the procedure, you need to rinse your head with a special herbal decoction. This will preserve the beautiful shade and restore damage to the curls. For the same purpose, you can use the balm that is part of the selected paint.

Disadvantages of color include:

• the need for constant care to maintain the complexity and beauty of the shade;
• the risk of getting an unpredictable result when dyeing too dark or bleached hair.

3. If you have black hair or rich chestnut, you will need to lighten it first to dye it hazel afterwards.

From this description it is clear that it is against such a background that the “hazelnut” hair color in the photo and in life will sparkle with the necessary colors.

Preparation for staining

“Hazelnut” is a hair color that has many beautiful overflows and at the same time looks natural. But before you do the staining, you need to know about all the features of the shade.

Previously dyed hair - no darker than the classic light brown - will accept the dye even without lightening.

Highlighted or bleached hair is also susceptible to this dye, but there is a chance that the hair will take on a very bright color. For this reason, do not try to save money and turn to professionals.

If your hair is very dark, you will need to lighten it before applying the hazelnut hair dye. By skipping the lightening procedure, you will achieve the fact that the hair will only slightly give off reddish, but the color itself will not be visible.

How to choose an oxidizer

If you decide to use a professional line of hazelnut hair dye, then you will have to select an oxidizer for it yourself. In order not to make a mistake in choosing and not spoil your hair, you need to know the following:

1. For dark hair, you need to choose a higher percentage of oxygen. Accordingly, for the light - the opposite is true.
2. If the hair is thin, then an oxidizer above three percent cannot be taken.
3. For extremely thin hair, you need to choose one and a half percent oxygen. At the same time, you should be prepared for the fact that the color will have to be updated often.
4. For healthy and strong hair, nine percent oxide is suitable.
5. It is important to observe the holding time. One has only to overexpose or underexpose a little, and it will no longer be a "hazelnut".
