Stylists predict that dark blond beauties will become even more fashionable next year. And this is not surprising - the naturalness and beauty of dark blond hair is mesmerizing.
Specific features of dark blond color
A dark blonde shade of hair will look best on long, slightly curly curls and will suit girls with both light and slightly tanned skin. Women who have dark skin by nature, it is better to opt for warmer colors, because dark blond hair color has light notes of cold.
Makeup, in harmony with dark blond hair, should be sustained in a light tone, while lipstick is chosen in a tone range from pale pink to coral. For evening make-up, the unsurpassed smoky eyes are suitable.
Another feature of the dark blond hair shade is that this tone looks worse with damaged hair. If the curls are dry, then before dyeing them, it will be superfluous to carry out treatment and moisturizing. In addition, in this case, you should choose a more gentle staining method.
Hair dyeing in a dark blond color is done using ordinary tint balms, chemical paints or henna. Hair color will not be very long-lasting when using a tint balm or henna.
A dark blond tone gives free rein to experiments, because when you create it, you can get a more or less intense shade. Everything will depend only on the duration of the painting.
Light brown - what color is this hair?
Not everyone knows what tones are considered light brown. If you get information from the vastness of the online, then light brown - these are all shades between white, black. Also from the list of light brown tones, the bright red colors of the palettes should be excluded.
A number of varied colors belong to light brown. The main groups of this color are divided into three subcategories:
- Dark shades of light brown (brown, mocha, chocolate, dark blonde, chestnut).
- Light hair colors. These include the following colors: beige, light blond, platinum blond, etc.
- Medium tones of the strands. In particular, these are: light brown, brown-haired and others.
Brown hair color
Light brown shade or, as it is also called fashion girls - mouse, very attractive hair color. Moreover, the brightness of a girl is determined not only by one tone of the strands. It is also an attractive makeup that favorably emphasizes the color of the eyes and skin. And the tone of the curls can also be matched without problems to your color type from a variety of shades of light brown.
- For a warm appearance, dark hair dyes from a palette of light brown tones are more suitable.
- For a cold color type, strands of ash-blond, ash-chestnut, gray-blond color will look beautiful.
- For the fairer sex with gray, green, blue eyes, a light beige shade of hair is perfect.
Advantages and disadvantages
Dark blond hair color used to be called "mouse" and tried to get rid of it in different ways. But with the development of the fashion industry, constantly changing global trends and the appearance of hair dyes with various shades, the color nevertheless gained its popularity. He, like other shades, has both advantages and disadvantages.
And before choosing a tone, you must carefully study all the information available on this issue.
- One of the main advantages of this color is its naturalness. After all, different shades of this color are quite common, which means that even dyed hair will look as natural as possible. Hair, dyed in a beautiful dark blond shade, always looks luxurious, rich, but at the same time unpretentious. The owner of dark blonde hair always looks fresh and feminine, as the color allows you to smooth out even the roughest facial features.
- Dark blond hair color suits almost any lady. It is impossible to spoil the appearance with this color, the main thing is to choose the exact shade. The dark blond shade is perfect for ladies who prefer dark tones, but do not accept black hair. In addition, dark blond does an excellent job of painting over gray hair, which is important for women of age. Any shade gets boring over time, but changing it to another is not always easy. Dark blond, in contrast to black, can be changed to ash blond, and this can be done quite quickly and without much harm to the hair structure.
- Another advantage of this color is the ability to give individual curls a lighter shade using highlighting, and, if desired, toning. After all, a large number of shades of this color is perfectly combined with both streaked and tinted curls.
There are not so many drawbacks to dark blond hair color, but they are still there.
- The shade must be selected correctly, otherwise even the most pretty and not yet old young ladies may visually seem older than they really are. The wrong choice, of course, is not fatal, but dyeing does not have the best effect on the hair structure, so the exact choice of tone is important. Another minus of the dark blond color is the presence of initially shiny and silky hair. All shades of this color look beautiful only on healthy hair, and, unfortunately, not every lady can boast of such.
- The disadvantages of this color can also be attributed to its gradual washout. Of course, almost all dyes are gradually washed out, but not all of them acquire a greenish tint, like a dark blond color.
- Unfortunately, the appearance of this shade does not depend on the type of paint, so to maintain the original color, you will have to regularly tint the curls.
Who is it suitable for?
Although the dark blond color is universal and suits many ladies with different skin tones, eye color and hair length, there are still some nuances that you need to know before buying a paint. For owners of long and medium (shoulder-length) hair, dark blond is perfect, because it is he who best emphasizes both natural density and natural shine.
On short hair and bob-style haircuts, this color will look worse, therefore, for girls who prefer different types of short haircuts, it is better to abandon the dark blond color.
- The shape of the face also matters. A dark blond color, coupled with an oval or round face type, looks great. But for the owners of a triangular or square type, this tone is not suitable at all, since it is able to visually emphasize not only the angularity of the forms, but also add a few extra years. The condition of the skin, oddly enough, also affects the choice of tone. The more ideal the skin of the face looks, the better the dark blond color will look.
- For girls with problem skin who decide to dye their hair in this shade, you will have to either tidy it up, or completely abandon dyeing.
- Dark blond has different shades, and therefore the combination of skin tone and eye color should also be considered when choosing a paint. For owners of brown eyes and dark skin, dark blond with a golden or reddish tint is more suitable. But green-eyed or blue-eyed ladies should choose an ashy shade.Gray-eyed beauties will like a color with a reddish or even reddish tint, since it is he who is best able to emphasize the color of the eyes, make it rich and bright.
For owners of amber eyes, it is better to opt for cold tones, in which there is a purple pigment. It gives the main color a dark and rather saturated tone, which makes the eye shape extraordinary attractive, and the color brightness. An important point for ladies who have decided on a shade is the condition of the hair.
Before painting, you should definitely put them in order. Split ends should be trimmed, as this blemish will be noticeable after staining.
Color spectrum
The palette of dark blond color is conventionally divided into cold and warm tones. Cold tones with an ash tint are more suitable for owners of light skin types, and warm tones, which include all brown shades, will perfectly harmonize with dark skin types. Ashy hair dyes, which are more suitable for a cool color type, contain either blue or green pigments. After all, only they are able to remove the natural reddish shade of hair.
Ash dark blond tone is best seen in sunlight, but indoors it looks a little darker and visually perceived as dimmer than it actually is.
For warm tones of dark blond color, copper, golden and bronze shades are characteristic. In sunlight, hair dyed in such tones will always appear lighter than it really is. Curls painted in warm tones of dark blond will always look brighter and more shiny than cold tones.

CHOICE OF HAIRSTYLES AND HAIRCUTS
Having decided on what color to dye, you need to think about the haircut.
Things to consider:
- Damaged hair will need to be cut.
- Individual characteristics (for example, a scar that you want to hide).
Face shape.
FOR LONG HAIR
Cascade
- Visually expands the lower face. If you have a high forehead, then the option with bangs will look interesting.
- This haircut is convenient for those with straight hair who need volume. And a little curly will add an attractive casualness.
- A significant disadvantage is that this haircut interferes with regrowth.
Ladder
- For girls with a square or round face, we recommend this ladder. She adds femininity and sophistication.
- She does not look good in curls, because the boundaries of the "ladder" itself are erased. But on the straight lines it looks structured and sophisticated.
- If you want to maintain the length, but heal the condition of the hair, then a ladder for long is an excellent solution.
Torn
A bold and daring option. If you are ready to style your hair every morning, then you definitely need to cut it.
FOR SHORT AND MEDIUM HAIR
Square
- The square is a real classic. Elegant, slightly casual, romantic looks can be easily created with this haircut.
- The square lengthens the neck, makes the face more refined. Looks good both on straight lines and with curls. Curls will add lightness and volume to your look, and straight ones will add severity.
Elongated bob
- Often suits any ladies. Looks gorgeous on thick voluminous hair.
- An elongated bob resembles a bob, but its difference is in sharper cuts and asymmetry. In front, the strands are longer.
Cascade
- Refers to complex haircuts. Length transitions in such hairstyles are emphasized, made sharp.
- In appearance, the hairstyle is voluminous and light.
- We recommend the cascade for women with an elongated face. The cascade will visually expand it, which will create harmony with the upper part.
Pixie
- A very modern option. A woman with a pixie looks fresh, keeping up with the times. The hairstyle fits perfectly into a business style. And it also favorably emphasizes the eyes.
- We do not recommend this option for chubby girls with a short neck or double chin.
- If you want to show everyone your confidence, then pixie is for you.
Asymmetry
- We recommend this hairstyle for women with an oval or pointed face.
- The advantages of this haircut are that in a short period of time you can radically change the image. If you have large facial features, then she will emphasize them better than any cosmetics.
- This hairstyle is suitable for women of all ages and is popular with both teens and women over 50.
Subtleties of painting
Of course, changing hair color without unpleasant consequences is best done by a professional hairdresser, since this shade is quite complex, and it is not always possible to choose it perfectly. When self-dyeing, it is not always clear what the resulting tone will be, therefore, when choosing, the original hair color is of great importance. It is he who influences the result.
On hair with one tone, the shade will turn out the same as indicated in the palette, and on hair with a different tone, expectations may not be justified.
In order for the result to please, and not upset, it is necessary to take into account some of the subtleties at the stage of paint selection. The selection of a shade must be carried out only with a special palette.
You should not be guided by the image on the box, as it is not always clear what the final tone will be. And the photo on the box does not always match the tone on the palette.
If the original hair color has a light shade, and it differs from the desired one by more than 2 tones, then you will have to do at least 2 stains, otherwise you will not be able to achieve the desired result. In order for the color to turn out bright and saturated, re-staining must be done no later than 2-3 weeks after the first procedure.
In 2 procedures, the amount of pigments in each hair will increase, and the hair will acquire the desired tone.
The natural dark hair color will have to be lightened before dyeing, and then toned with the selected shade. Hair dyed in dark tones (black, chestnut and other brown shades) will have to undergo such a procedure as a wash. And only after that, dye your hair a dark blond color. For heavily pigmented hair, this procedure is usually repeated, and for a cuticle that is especially "clogged" with pigments, do it again.
It is necessary to carry out restorative procedures between washes, otherwise the hair will look like tow.
It is quite difficult for red-haired beauties to repaint in a dark blond color, but still possible. If the redness is natural, then the paint must be selected according to its composition, it should contain blue or blue pigments, they do the best with the red tint. If a red tint on the hair is present due to the paint, then you will have to first apply a wash and only then dye your hair a dark blond color.
Do not forget about possible allergic reactions to the components in the composition. Therefore, it is imperative to test the paint before use. To do this, a small amount of the composition is applied in the elbow bend area and wait a while. If there is no redness and rashes, then the paint can be safely used.
- You can check the selected shade for compliance with the declared color on a separate thin strand. The composition is applied to the curl, kept for the required time, washed off, and the result obtained is checked against the declared tone. If, nevertheless, doubts remain, then it is best to choose a lighter tone than a dark one, since it is easier to maneuver from light to dark than vice versa.
- It is not necessary to wash your hair 1-2 days before dyeing, but at the same time, the hair should not be too dirty, and certainly there should not be any styling products on it. On the packaging, the manufacturer, as a rule, indicates which hair the composition should be applied to.
- Too dirty hair impedes the penetration of pigments into the cuticle, and excessively clean paint can "burn", they will become dry and brittle.
- If the paint has been selected in accordance with all precautions, and the hair is properly prepared, then you can proceed directly to the dyeing. The compositions, and, as a rule, there are 2 of them in the box, are mixed in a container of a suitable volume. Either glass or ceramic dishes are great for this. Some paints do not require additional capacity, one composition is poured into a container with another, after which the resulting mixture is thoroughly shaken.
- A special waterproof cape should be put on the shoulders, and the skin around the hair growth should be smeared with a fat cream. You can use a piece of cloth instead of a cape. And if the paint is ammonia-free, then the cream may not be used. The mixture is applied with a brush to pre-combed hair. It is better to start from the back of the head, from the root zone.But if there are gray strands, then it is best to start dyeing with the most extensive zone of their growth, since it takes a little longer to paint over gray hair than for pigmented hair. It is necessary to distribute the paint neatly and evenly along the entire length of the hair.
- The exposure time depends on the specific paint, the manufacturer always indicates it on the packaging and in the attached instructions. At the end, the hair is thoroughly rinsed with warm water, and then using shampoo. After that, a nourishing balm is applied to the hair and kept for a certain time. The dyeing procedure ends with rinsing, and then drying the hair.
What makeup is suitable for dark blond color
- When making a make-up for owners of dark blond hair, you should take into account the color type of appearance and your own preferences.
- It will be important to highlight the lips with trendy red lipstick of a suitable shade. Bright lip makeup with light brown hair looks very impressive and seductive. In addition, such a make-up will give the curls more depth and emphasize the rich play.
- Particular attention should be paid to the eyebrows. They should repeat the shade of the hairstyle and be 2-3 shades darker.
For the eyes, tones that contrast with them are appropriate. You can achieve the most expressive eyes by using the following combinations:
- blue - cold brown;
- green - Violet;
- gray - golden, warm brown;
- dark brown - bright blue, emerald;
- amber - black, lilac.
The tone of faces should be 1 tone lighter than your own and exactly repeat it or be as close as possible. Then the view will be fresh and rested.
