Naturally, this situation is more difficult to change, since in this case even professionals use various bleaching agents or removers, and they can seriously damage the condition of the hair.

Brown highlights on black hair

This is how hairdressers usually use brighteners:

But don’t be upset, as there are completely safe, albeit slow, ways to return to your favorite brown tones from cardinal black.

Home remedies to return to brown tones

The choice of one or another home method will depend mainly on the initial condition of the hair. If they were previously damaged, then the most gentle method should be chosen, which will not damage the hair even more. You should also take into account whether the hair was dyed with permanent dye or whether a semi-permanent dye was used.

With a semi-permanent dye, you can achieve good results at home much faster.

One of the safest and simple ways Removing black dye from hair is the use of special shampoos. To perform this procedure, you will need two types of shampoos - anti-dandruff and cleansing.

How to dye black hair brown

However, let us remind you that it will not be easy to achieve a high-quality desired tone at home without experience; if you have never used washes and color correctors, we advise you not to take risks and thoroughly study the use and possible consequences this procedure.

First way This is the use of a special wash (also known as a color corrector). If you decide to do this procedure yourself, study the brightener and the future paint in advance, there are both 2 in one and separate options.

In one procedure it is possible to switch to 3-4 tones or more, the disadvantages have already been described above. Test the composition in advance, for example on the wrist, for allergic reactions if you suffer from hypersensitivity. No redness? Then you can begin the procedure.

So, the second way : wet your hair, then apply a special cleansing shampoo to it, lather it well on your head. It is advisable to additionally wrap hair with shampoo foam for a while in polyethylene to enhance the effect.

Third way, consists of using vitamin C or ascorbic acid in the form of powder or tablets. In addition, you will need a shower cap, a towel, a comb and your favorite shampoo.
If the vitamins are in tablets, then they must first be crushed, then mixed with shampoo, whipped into foam. As soon as the mass begins to resemble a paste, it should be applied to damp hair under a cap, then it is advisable to comb the curls with a wide-tooth comb.

The vitamin C paste must be left on the hair for at least 1 hour for it to take effect, and after the allotted time, you just need to rinse it off and wash your hair in the usual way. If necessary, the procedure using shampoo and vitamin C can be repeated until the desired result is achieved.

Fourth method: Natural analogs such as kefir and beer are the safest method and do not cause harm, however, the time spent on switching to 2-3 tones can reach 3-4 weeks and require 3 procedures per week.

Beautiful hair color is an integral part of the image of a woman who takes care of herself. But not everyone is blessed by nature. Gray, greenish curls, etc. are often found. But a beautiful color can both highlight the advantages of a face and its shortcomings. Beautiful tan, for example, can be emphasized with a sophisticated blonde. A light brown tone will make your face gray and sallow. The same goes for eye color. Therefore, before dyeing your hair, it is recommended to find out your color type.

Hair color carries a lot of information and changes your appearance - find yourself

Eggplant goes well with brown eyes with a warm palette. Blue - for cold eye tones (dark gray, etc.).

Following fashion, many girls not only radically change their wardrobe, but also their appearance, in particular, hair color and haircut. However, drastic changes are not always justified: stylish hairstyle can easily not suit the face, making skin imperfections noticeable, turning cute, expressive features into something gray and gloomy, and also adding several more years to age. To avoid such an unfortunate outcome, it is wise to ask the salon specialist to choose a haircut according to your face shape. And you can quite decide on the tone of your curls yourself, you just need to know what color type you belong to.

One of the following separation methods will help you choose the right hair tone:

• on a cold and warm palette;
• according to the principle of the seasons.

Stylists consider the last option to be the most error-free. But this does not mean that a simple division into heat/cold should be discounted; this technique will help improve the image, highlighting a person’s strengths and hiding shortcomings.

Cold type girls are the owners of blue, black, gray or gray-green eyes. Their skin is usually pale, light, less often pinkish. Hair by nature is usually light brown or ashy. A warm color type is inherent in beauties whose eyes are amber, brown or deep green. Skin tones range from soft golden to velvety peach. As for curls, their shade can be either dark blond or different variations chestnut.

Speaking about classification by seasons, it is meant to distinguish 4 types of appearance:

• spring;
• summer;
• autumn;
• winter.

The image of spring girls is often romantic, airy and light. And all because their appearance is dominated by light shades: eye color from sky blue through green (sometimes even amber) to graphite, skin tone from soft pink to ivory, hair color - blond or coffee-milk with golden highlights. Often the face of “spring” is strewn with ephelides (multiple freckles), and the cheeks are covered with a light blush.

“Summer” beauties are conventionally divided into contrasting and non-contrasting, which is determined by the degree of difference between the tones of the dermis, eyes and strands (before dyeing). Women of this type are characterized by cold perception. Their skin can be light or dark, but always with a bluish tint. Summer eyes are usually some shade of gray, sometimes in combination with blue or green. Natural hair color is distinguished by a predominance of ash tones, which, when faded in the sun, acquire chocolate-cognac tints.

Bright, saturated shades are what make girls of the third type stand out. “Autumn” has perfectly smooth skin from a series of warm golden tones. The eyes are always expressive - olive, brown, green, amber, in contrast with naturally red or chestnut-red hair.

“Winter” is characterized by a pronounced contrast between the tone of the skin and curls. For example, if a girl is dark-skinned from birth, then her natural hair color can easily resemble a Scandinavian blonde. And vice versa, having pale porcelain skin, the color of the strands is often graphite, raven, or like that of a brown-haired woman. The eyes are predominantly dark: brown, blue, gray or completely black.

What color should I dye my hair?

You can safely dye your hair the color that stylists recommend for this type:

• if cold shades predominate in the appearance, it is wise to choose paint in light natural tones, without gold;
• if you have a warm type, a sunny, red-haired color scheme up to cappuccino will be just right.

For girls who have taken a closer look at determining their color type, the following are considered the correct hair shades:

2. For summer - silver, pearl, all light brown tones, preferably with an ashy tint (variations of chestnut and gold should not even be considered).

3. For autumn - fiery red, mahogany, rich brown, red, in particular, copper, carrot, rusty (grayness, restraint in color do not suit the owners of the autumn type).

4. For winter - ruby, eggplant, ripe raspberry, black and other dark tones with cold blue (it is strongly not recommended to choose paint from a warm color scheme).

When there is a mixture of types, and this happens quite often, you can experiment with shades taken from several images. But to be sure to choose correct color hair, experts suggest in such a situation to start from the eyes:

1. light chestnut, caramel are ideal for blue-eyed beauties; lighter ones, including ash ones (for example), will be an excellent complement to blue and blue-gray eyes;

2. golden, honey, rich red hair colors look great under green eyes; if the greens are muted (for example, the iris has yellow splashes, which makes the color olive or marsh), then the curls can be dyed in dark brown tones or neutral brown;

3. all shades, except deep chestnut, black and especially blue-black, are available to gray-eyed girls;

4. hazelnut, amber, chocolate, as well as golden and copper hair colors for brown eyes seem to be created; in a duet with a redhead, the image is guaranteed to be romantic and tender.

Which paint is better to choose based on durability?

For perfect coloring It’s not enough to choose a hair color that matches your eyes and skin; you also need to decide on the durability of the paint. Salon specialists and outstanding stylists offer those girls who are not ready for major changes to use temporary coloring agents. They are available in the form of mousses, gels, powders, mascaras and sprays. They are good for coloring individual strands, but are washed off immediately or after the second or third wash.

Non-permanent or tint dyes (shampoos, balms) are designed to add freshness to the natural color of hair or maintain already colored hair, since with them it is almost impossible to change the color of the hair. They are completely washed off from the curls after 6-8 water procedures.

Semi-permanent dyes (not containing ammonia) should be used when you need to choose a hair shade that is a couple of tones lighter or darker than your own strands, and at the same time hide their gray hair. Gradual rinsing, which allows you to avoid the effect of “overgrown roots” for one to three months, is a clear advantage of the product.

The most “long-lasting”, resistant paints are those whose composition includes hydrogen peroxide and ammonia. They allow you to change the color by 4 or even more tones, and cover gray hair 100%. However, having a long-lasting indelible effect, such dyes involuntarily create a transition boundary during further hair growth.

Haircut according to the shape of the face and hair shade matched to the color of the eyes and skin, the best way will affect appearance. But in order to achieve an ideal result without harming the health of your curls, you should learn a few simple rules:

1. Only a freshly prepared composition is suitable for coloring, to which in no case should you add other, even the most useful components (for example, vegetable oils, esters);
2. You need to keep the dye on your hair for as long as indicated in the instructions or less, but do not overexpose it;
3. At the end of the procedure, you should definitely use special care products.

But fair-haired girls who decide to make drastic changes face a great risk of getting the completely opposite effect. If you are a representative of fair-haired people, a short excursion into hair coloring will help you decide on the color.

The advantages of fair-haired girls
