Peculiarities

Ash color is considered to be cold light brown shades. It is quite difficult to find this tone in its pure form over the entire surface of the hair. It can only appear on several strands of fair-haired beauties. Ash blonde hair color is usually found among women with a Slavic appearance. Such a phenomenon is not typical for other nationalities.

But since this tone looks very beautiful, now it is often created using various staining techniques.

Hairdressers work hard to get the shade of ash. To do this, you need to understand what is the original color of the strand, to choose the right shade of the dye. Only if these conditions are met can the desired tone be obtained.

A specialist selects a dye for each hair color, so that in the end the hair is not yellow or gray. Since the procedure is accompanied by numerous difficulties, the masters recommend staining only in specialized salons. It is quite difficult to get the shades of ash at home on your own.

The key sign of an ash color is the presence of a cool tone that has restraint in its manifestation.

Most people associate it with notes of tenderness, sophistication and sophistication. Beauties with similar strands look unique.

Ash hair color has its own benefits.

• A girl who decides to dye her hair gets a vivid image. This is due to the fact that ashy tones are rarely found in nature in their natural form.
• With this color, the face acquires soft features. The image becomes more feminine, romantic and gentle.
• With this tone, you can focus on the perfection of the skin.
• Among the disadvantages are the difficulties associated with the selection of the desired shade and frequent differences in the results of staining.

Who is ash blonde hair color suitable for?

Cold light brown shades are almost impossible to find in their pure form, not on individual strands, but as a naturally dominant tone. If he is found, then most often on beauties of the Slavic type of appearance. Therefore, if with most variations of coloring, the simple rule “nature will not deceive” applies, then with ashy coloring it is more and more difficult: it is important to understand and imagine whether the chosen specific tone will work. And even more difficult is to get the desired shade.

Interestingly, the dissonance of the color of hair, skin and eyes in the case of the choice of an ash-blond shade is not always so bad. Sometimes it is this dissonance that becomes the very attractive feature, the highlight that makes the image as bright and stylish as possible.

How to understand if the ashy hair color will suit a particular girl? To do this, it is important to consider skin tone, eye color, and also pay attention to age.

If you are guided by the general rules, then, most likely, girls with winter and summer color types will have an ashy blond tint to their face. This is due to the presence of cold shades in the exterior.

Most likely, ash blonde hair color will not suit you if there is redness on the skin, and the skin color is closer to pink.

Indicators that a color will work are lack of blush and cool eye color. General principle: the more cold shades in the type of appearance, the more likely it is that the ash-blonde hair color will decorate you. However, these principles are just recommendations, because every girl is unique. To try on a new hair color, it is best to use special programs and see yourself with it.

Who is it suitable for?

Since in the natural environment there is no continuous ashy hair, due to the monochromatic coloration, one may encounter a conflict between the shade of the curls and the color of the skin and eyes. Because of this, dissonance may appear in the image. On the one hand, it can become a beauty's style, and on the other, a manifestation of bad taste.

To understand whether a new image is suitable or not, the following features should be considered:

• color type;
• skin tone;
• eye color;
• woman's age.

Ash-blonde will suit beauties with winter and summer color types.

They differ in common cold shades. Since the ashy shade is located in the cold segment, when staining, it should be borne in mind that in most cases the strands will need to be lightened.

As an exception, dark-skinned girls or representatives with olive-colored skin should be considered. You can resort to "ash" only if there is dullness in the skin without redness, and there are no warm chocolate shades.

• Summer the type should go well with this color, the curls are distinguished by a light shade. Blush skin will not interfere with coloring. Cool eye colors are beneficial when stained in ash tones.
• Women with spring color type should be ready for experiments. Despite the fact that the strands of this color type are easily stained, a large number of warm tones can negatively affect the creation of the image. A similar situation is observed in the matter of selecting a tone for the color of the skin and eyes. The hairdresser should individually consider ash staining.

• Autumn the color type is not combined with ash flowers. Brown eyes with golden tints do not look at all with the chosen image. They will act as a foreign stain in the exterior.

Age should also be considered as the new look adds years.

This factor will be almost imperceptible in the appearance of girls whose age category ranges from 20-30 years. For fifty-year-old ladies who are worried about their age, you should not choose ash shades.

However, if you need to disguise gray hair, which is already quite a lot, the ash effect in this case would be a good solution.

Choosing a dye for blonde hair

In most cases, light strands do not require preliminary bleaching, if there was no non-professional dyeing earlier. To get away from the yellow tone, you will also need to resort to lightening.

For the perfect cool shade, you can use professional paint from Majirel Cool Cover or L'Oreal Professionnel. The manufacturer offers persistent coloring agents with which you can obtain the desired tone in one coloring process. Also, the paint solves the issue of gray hair well.

Masters advise using paint with numbers 9.1 and 9.11 for light hair.

Choosing a dye for dark hair

Girls with dark hair should be prepared for the fact that they will need to initially resort to lightening the strands. When discolored, natural pigment particles disappear to be replaced by coloring pigments.It will take 2-3 procedures to lighten the hair. This amount minimally traumatizes the hair and removes the yellow tone.

Specialists most often use paint from Majirel Cool Cover, L'Oreal Professionnel for these purposes. To make the curls look natural, it is recommended to use dark variations for the initial dyeing. They are numbered 8.1 and 8.11.

Complex staining options

There are several options that will make the coloring trendy and interesting.
Below we will talk about ombre, shatush and balayage techniques, as well as highlighting "salt and pepper".

Ombre

Ombre is a variant of a fairly sharp color transition, which is very popular on short hair, especially on a square. The presence of a contrasting transition from ash blonde at the ends to a natural color closer to the roots is a fashionable and well-thought-out solution that will reduce the frequency of subsequent stains.

Shatush

Shatush is a coloring option in which the emphasis is on naturalness. As a rule, an ashy shade is taken, which is in harmony with the base and differs from it only by a few tones.

Balayazh

Another variant of complex coloring is balayage, which involves the use of several halftones, with the help of which the colors are distributed, "stretched" along the length of the hair. As a rule, the roots remain unaffected, and especially often dyeing in this technique is performed for wavy hair: this solution looks the most advantageous for them.

Highlighting "salt and pepper"

This technique is in trend, but not every master can do it. "Salt and Pepper" is all about creating the effect of almost gray hair, which looks impeccably stylish and very expensive. It allows you to hide and / or complement the gray hair that has appeared, makes the image unique and memorable. The use of this technique involves preliminary bleaching of the hair, after which the hair is further toned. Modern means allow you to get "salt and pepper" on hair of any color, but this dyeing option will be the safest on light hair.

Subtleties of painting

Ash-brown color is quite difficult to achieve at home. Masters advise you to contact only specialized salons, where a professional, by mixing the desired dye tones, will be able to achieve an optimal result. You need to be extremely careful if the original color of the curls is significantly different from the shade you are dreaming of.

To avoid disappointment after dyeing, it is best to try the paint on a small strand near the ear in advance.

After evaluating the result, you can understand whether the decision to repaint is correct or not.

If a girl wants to get the effect of "ash" on her hair at home, you need to remember about certain rules.

• Taking care of the strands. Since in most cases the hair is lightened before dyeing, it needs additional care. It is necessary to nourish the hair with vitamins and moisturizing masks a month before the bleaching procedure.
• The correct choice of paint. You should carefully consider the choice of dye. It is best to pay attention to the professional series of funds. To maintain the tone, you can consider tinted shampoos and balms.
• Bleaching procedure (if this procedure is required). If the original color of the curls is at least three shades darker than the desired result, preparation will be required. If the hair has natural pigment, it lightens. Colored hair requires a dye rinse. In certain situations, the procedure is repeated several times.
• Preparation of tools. For the staining procedure, you need to prepare a brush that will apply the dye, a hairpin for fixing curls, a fine comb, and gloves.

Hair should be painted in bright light. In dim light, there is a risk of poorly staining the strands and getting a not very good result.

• Dye preparation. The preparation of the dye must be carried out in strict accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.Each manufacturer includes a user manual. Do not add oils, balms to the dye. Their combination with paint elements can lead to unpredictable results.
• Distribution of paint. Pigment is applied starting from the crown area. In this case, thin strands should be separated, evenly distributing the dye along the entire length of the hair. It is required to apply the substance to the back of the head. Pigment should be applied last to the temples and bangs.
• Excerpt. The paint is left for the period specified by the manufacturer. It is extremely important to comply with the indicated deadlines, since exceeding the norm can lead to overdrying of the hair.
• Dye remover. The pigment is washed off with a large amount of tap water. The procedure is repeated until the water becomes clear.

After the paint is washed off, you need to apply a balm. After washing it off, the hair is dried. In most cases, the balm is supplied by the manufacturer.

How much will it cost to paint in the salon in ash-blond?

The answer to this question depends on many criteria: on the length and thickness of the hair, the desired dyeing technique, the level of the master, the region, etc.

If we take into account the average cost in a good salon in Russia, then complex dyeing in ash-blond hair color for hair of medium length and density will come out in about 6000-7000 rubles. The cost limit is about 15,000 rubles, in some cases you can find a master who will do the staining for 2,000-3,000 rubles.

How to maintain an ash blonde shade?

To maintain an ash-blond shade, you must switch to a line of special products that give the required shade. These are toning agents, including shampoo, balm, and hair masks. The color of these products is dark purple, it is washed off almost completely, leaving only a slight shade on the hair.

As a shampoo, some masters recommend using sulfate-free products that are not aggressive and better preserve the original tone.

Curl care

Regardless of the durability of the dye, procedures such as washing hair, drying with a hairdryer, exposure to ultraviolet radiation lead to the fact that the strands become the same color scheme as they were before repainting.

For this reason, after the girl became the owner of ash curls, one should remember about special care, which is as follows:

• so that the color is fixed, you can wash your hair no earlier than two days after the dyeing procedure has taken place;
• regenerating masks should be used once a week;
• drying curls should be done without using a hair dryer;
• do not comb wet hair, as in this case, the strands can be damaged;
• contact with chlorinated water, temperature extremes, sunlight should be minimized; if contact is inevitable, special protective equipment should be used;
• you should use a brush equipped with natural bristles;
• head massage before going to bed will help against the loss of strands;
• so that the pigment does not wash off, once every two weeks, you will need to use a tint shampoo with balm.

If you follow all these rules, the ashy tone will persist for a long time, and the curls themselves will be silky.

A special line of products can help in maintaining color.

Conclusion

Natural light brown with an ash tint is considered a noble color that brings sophistication and aristocracy to the image of a woman. But ash shades are not suitable for every beauty. For girls of Asian appearance or those who belong to the Autumn bloom, such a tone is contraindicated, because it will make their radiant facial features pale and painful.
