How to choose the right shade?
Who would suit this color? And how to choose the right shade among such a stormy variety? Despite the fact that the shades of chestnut are very beautiful and even, one might say, aristocratic, in combination with contrasting skin color, an extremely rough image can be obtained, completely devoid of harmony.
Therefore, if you decide to try it for yourself, then it is worthwhile to think over your future image in advance, taking into account the color type of skin, hair and eyes, and if it does not work out, it is better to consult with a specialist.
If you adhere to the most common seasonal classification of appearance, you can come to the following conclusions: fair-haired girls and blonde with fair skin, brown or gray eyes, which belong to the color type “summer”, are best suited for cold light-brown tones with a hint of ash.
Ladies who can attribute themselves to the color type "spring" or "autumn" are best suited golden and caramel tones. Typically, these girls are characterized by a rather dark, sometimes peach or yellowish skin color. Girls "winter", in which the marble shade of skin, dark eyes and brown hair from nature, will look most advantageous in a dark chestnut color.
A few secrets of good staining
To get a rich, deep and beautiful shade of hair after dyeing, as in the photo of models or actresses, it is very important to approach this procedure correctly. First, do not save on the paint, choose products only known and proven brands.
If you have never painted before, then, of course, it would be wiser to contact a specialist in the salon, where they will help you with the tone you need and conduct the whole procedure according to the necessary rules.
If you decide to cope on your own, then be careful: to avoid the appearance of a reddish or reddish tint, choose paint of deeper and cooler tones, such as chocolate.
Another problem that can badly spoil your new image is the effect of “light roots”, which sometimes occurs during staining. To prevent this from happening, color the curls according to a certain pattern: first the roots, then the entire length, and only the last — the tips.
