Home dyeing
You can carry out the procedure both in the salon and at home. Using the tools that manufacturers offer for permanent or temporary staining, you can achieve the desired result.

Natural dyes
Permanent dyes provide color fastness, but their use can negatively affect the quality of the hair. Tint products are safer, but have a short-term effect. A green tint can be obtained without even resorting to the use of chemicals. For this purpose, you can use such dyes:
- Basma. It is a natural dye derived from indigo leaves. For a brighter effect, it is recommended to pre-dye your hair with another natural remedy - henna. The dye should be bought at the rate of: 100 g of powder per 15 cm of hair length plus 10–20 g for thick hair. The powder is diluted with water until a slurry is obtained and left until it acquires a green hue (10-15 minutes). Gently apply the gruel along the entire length of the hair, starting from the back of the head. Avoid getting basma on skin and clothes - the paint is very difficult to wipe off. Hair should be hidden under a plastic cap. Staining time - 40-60 minutes. Wash off the gruel with warm water without detergents, dry them naturally. It is not recommended to wash your hair 3 days after staining.
- Solution Brilliant Green - brilliant green. Pour balm or conditioner into the container, which would be more than enough to apply along the entire length of the hair. Then add 15–35 g of brilliant green. The mixture is applied to the curls and kept for 2-5 minutes, and then washed off thoroughly.

In addition, it is difficult to independently perform high-quality highlighting or coloring of strands, ombre.

Ash and green color palette
An ashy undertone can be added to every color from the cool palette, except perhaps the blues and blacks and other darkest tones. Ash can be blond, light brown, and chestnut - from light to medium-dark. It is important to take into account the fact that none of the shades of ash has natural analogues (except, of course, gray hair). Therefore, in a situation of hair dyeing in ashy tones, there can be no question of a natural effect, on the contrary, hair tinted in this way looks deliberately unnatural, which is, in fact, the goal.
To make the right choice, you need to focus on a tone that is as rich as your natural one.
Ashes can be "mixed" with both dark-blond and light-blond colors. You just need to make sure that the natural hair color also belongs to the cold palette.
Ash blond is the most sophisticated variation of the whole range of ash shades. But it will also go to a very limited number of women.
Their skin must certainly be pearl-porcelain without a spontaneously appearing blush, not have any flaws. Eyes should be bright, facial features - textured, exquisite sculpting. Only then will a mother-of-pearl or pearl blond without the slightest signs of yellowness truly adorn the girl, and she will not be lost against its background. The bluish tint in the ash-white strands will go exclusively to green-eyed beauties with alabaster skin.
- Pearl (crystal) ash blond is the lightest shade of transparent ash. It also features a pearlescent glow that creates a halo effect around the head. Due to the presence of platinum and pearl strands, the color plays, moves. The hair roots can be made a little brighter, deeper, then the color will become even more saturated.
- As for the gray-ash, the best illustration for understanding how this shade looks like will be the cooled ash in a fire that has burned to ashes. This shade is most beautiful not in total coloring, but in thunder, then it acquires even greater depth and expressiveness. An additional effect will be given by the super-fashionable matte version of the thunderbolt, in which the hair is deliberately devoid of shine.
- Ash beige is one of the most sophisticated tones that are extremely popular with movie stars and models. It is unusually beautiful, complimentary to the skin, highlighting it. However, this beige tone does not tolerate round cheeks and obvious skin imperfections, emphasizing them and visually making them even more noticeable.
- Silver-brown hair tone is more "democratic" and sparing both in relation to the appearance of its owner and the amount of damage done to the hair. Ash chestnut is suitable not only for women with a cold type of appearance. In addition, it perfectly refreshes the appearance, therefore it will beautify the fair sex at any age.
- It should be borne in mind that this shade of strands is picky about the owner's appearance, so make-up (not necessarily evening, but emphasizing facial features) will have to be done.
- Ashes can be added to tones such as hazelnut or caramel to add sophistication. The matte effect is very popular, which gives additional "dustiness" to the strands and makes their overall look stylish and sophisticated. In stretching shatush, this tone is unusually effective.
- Dark ashy hair tones are for brave women who are not afraid to look bright, catchy and noticeable. It will beautify only the owners of good even skin and dark eyes. The lighter your iris, the more likely dark ash will not work for you.
- Another trendy shade of ash is dusty rose, also called antique rose. He is often chosen by young girls, and it should be noted that it is to this category of the beautiful half of humanity that he goes most of all. It has a peachy undertone while remaining cool. Ash-blue is another "favorite" of young people, an incredible cosmic tone that has a silvery hue.
A variety of it is blue ash, deeper, it can even go into subtones such as teal or indigo. Such coloring will go only to bold and extraordinary personalities, whose style is as unusual as the choice of hair color.
- Ash lilac is another bold yet very feminine shade. It will adorn romantic people, lovers of beautiful dresses, long skirts and elaborate hairstyles.
- Podium watercolor painting is gradually coming to life, because it is so beautiful that the most determined clients ask their masters to depict this on their hair. Such overflows of color will make the owner noticeable, give originality and sophistication. However, it should be remembered that only healthy hair will look beautiful with this experimental coloring.
- Another option for brave girls is metallic. It is characterized by several options, and steel is one of the most spectacular. Such hair is not just dyed hair, it is a real work of art. Of course, having painted them in a similar way, it is necessary to constantly maintain the quality at a height, carefully looking after the strands, and also updating the color.
Stylish painting techniques
Almost all modern dyeing techniques work well for a silver tone. The main task of the stylist is to create the effect of a natural overflow of all shades of silver on the curls. There are many variations, it all depends on the initial, initial color type and after that a possible technique is selected. The main thing is to go to a proven place, and to an experienced craftsman, in order to exclude burning the strand and achieve the most beautiful result
Ash balayazh
This technique has found its application and its admirers due to the noticeable contrast in the color scheme between the ends of the strands and the roots of the hair. All this is achieved by toning several curls. And the effect is more visible when applied to long hair. There are no limitations in imagination, and color transitions can contain two or more than five shades. Try the extreme black to silver and below white. It is not so much extravagant as beautiful and even luxurious.
Ash ombre
This option carries a dark overflow, which is included in the base base for light tones. The ends get a sun-burnt effect. But with all this, it does not lose its grooming. The plus is that the ash scale will find its application and will look stunning on the classic amber, which is based on a combo of two subtones, and even on the triple amber, where the distribution into three zones is taken as a basis. In this case, the upper and lower parts are painted in the same color, and the third has a contrasting base in relation to both of them.
Ash highlights
Highlighting is known for the fact that in the process of its creation there is a change in the pigment of several strands. Only the width of the curl being dyed changes. Ash can be both classic highlighting and the opposite, in which all curls are brought to an ash shade, and then different tones are given to individual strands: from black to light brown. A nice bonus is that this method has a very wide palette and color scheme.Here, the colors range from gray, pearlescent to smoky and pink. Everything is at your discretion and desire. And, of course, courage.
HOW TO COLOR OUT
If the green staining is tired or happened by accident, you can get rid of it. There are several ways:
- Decapitation. The color is removed with cosmetic products. You can tint your hair with balms, cover with lightening creams, wash with shampoos that wash off the stain.
- Tomato juice. It contains a lot of acid and removes paint well. The juice is applied to the entire length and remains for 30-40 minutes, then washed off with a moisturizing balm.
- Lemon juice. It is mixed with water in a 1: 2 ratio and applied for 30 minutes.
- Natural oils. They wash off the color gradually, do not harm the hair. The roots are strengthened, the strands are moistened after the paint, the unwanted shade fades. Burdock and coconut oils are suitable.
- Aspirin. 4 tablets are diluted in 200 ml of water, applied for 15 minutes.
- Apple vinegar. The concentration should be no higher than 9%, otherwise there is a risk of burns. 2 tbsp. l. are divorced in a glass of water. Hair is soaked in the mixture for 2 minutes.
Important! The effect of natural remedies is difficult to predict, so an efficacy and allergy test should be done first.
Procedure recommendations
For hair dyed in any color (including dark blond with shades of golden), you will need to first remove the paint. Only after that you can proceed to toning in ash. The easiest way is to work with hair that is naturally light or bleached in whole or in part using the technique of highlighting, ombre, balayazh, or shatush. Then the lightened part of the hair is simply tinted with the desired shade of ash.
- If your hair is naturally quite dark, you may need more than one lightening. You should not use a highly concentrated solution of a clarifier - after all, this can burn the strands. It is better to take a weaker solution, lightening the hair or part of it (depending on the chosen staining technique) by 2-3 tones. After a while, you can lighten them again, provided that thorough restorative care is carried out in the interval between the lightenings.
- If your hair is originally black or dark brown, you may need to bleach three times. It is better to do all this in the salon, with a master who has performed a similar procedure more than once or twice. At home, you can get a completely unpredictable result, the consequences of which you will have to get rid of in the same place - in the salon.
- After the strands or part of them are lightened to the desired tone, they are dried with a hair dryer and painted in the desired tone of cold ash.
Curl care
Ash shades are very capricious, quickly lose their cold tone, give in to yellowness and are prone to fading. Therefore, immediately after dyeing and until the next visit to the colorist, tinted hair must be carefully looked after.
Do not forget that any ash toning is carried out on pre-bleached hair or on previously colored hair, from which the paint was removed with a chemical composition (with the exception of very light natural strands).
Therefore, hair tinted in ashy shades is empty and porous throughout its bleached part, which means it is prone to loss of shine and increased fragility. In order to return shine and strength to strands that have been exposed to such strong, and often repeated, exposure to oxidants as soon as possible, you need to regularly take care of them.
The ash range is cold, therefore, care must be taken that the hair does not turn yellow. This applies not only to shades of ash-blond, but also ash-blond gamut, and ash-chocolate. In the fight against unwanted yellowness, appropriate shampoos with purple or blue pigments will help.
They can be alternated with the usual products for colored hair, but you need to use it regularly, the frequency depends on how many times a week you wash your hair.
It is not only shampoo for colored hair that must be used. Since the strands that have undergone lightening need especially careful care, they need both nourishment and hydration. This will require a balm, mask, serum, oil for the ends of the hair. Opt for a line that contains ceramides, proteins, oils and amino acids, this comprehensive care will ensure the fastest possible restoration of hair health.
Serums are responsible for the shine of the strands. When exposed to lightening compositions, the hair becomes empty, loses its pigment, and with it - and shine. Therefore, a leave-in shine serum is your best friend.
Oils are needed to prevent tinted curls from resembling a bast. Masks and serums are great, but only "heavy artillery" in the form of natural oils - shea, argan, almond, coconut and others - will provide deep nourishment of the hair, its smoothness, health and shine. Apply oils “warm”, that is, after generously lubricating your hair, put a plastic cap on your head and wrap it in a warm towel.
- For the first time after toning, refrain from using a hair dryer, curling iron and iron. In the future, always use thermal protection products when using them.
- The sun is the enemy of cold ash strands, under its influence the hair burns out and turns yellow. Get SPF and a wide-brimmed hat for the entire sun.
- Comb with a sparse-toothed comb. Avoid brushing wet hair if possible.
- After dyeing, it is undesirable to visit the pool for a week or two. Chlorinated water and salts in it can cause tinted hair to turn green. In the future, it is recommended to lubricate your hair well with oil, when going to swim.
If you belong to an obviously warm color type - spring or autumn, try those shades that are at least a little close to your appearance. Start with partial coloring, then even if something goes wrong, you can always get your wheat or copper curls back.
