How to understand what color. How to tell if blonde hair is right for you

Good day, dear readers! With you is the presenter of the beauty column Olga Ramazanova. Have you ever wondered why one color suits one person, but does not suit another?

The thing is that nature created us completely different in the shade of our skin, hair, and eyes. However, there is a certain similarity in the appearance of people and they can be combined into conditional groups. In this article I will introduce you to a very interesting topic- how to find out your color type.

Why do you need to know your color type?

The answer is very simple - so as not to make mistakes in choosing clothes, hair tone and even accessories. Knowing what color type a person belongs to, he can choose exactly what suits him. This knowledge will help you create your own individual harmonious image. Agree, quite often you can see on the street, for example, a fair-haired girl with bright dark eyebrows or dyed a bright red color. This imbalance is very noticeable. Remember that fashion is fashion, but you need to know your nature of beauty and present it competently.

How to determine your appearance?

Most likely, you have already heard about the division of color types according to the names of the seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter. There are other systems for determining a person’s color type, but this one is the most convenient (especially for makeup artists).

There are such concepts in color as cold and warm shades.

• Cold ones are those that contain blue pigment: turquoise, lilac, fuchsia, burgundy, etc.
• Warm ones have a yellow pigment: brown, gold, peach, grass, etc.

To understand what type of appearance I have, you first need to determine which shades predominate in my appearance. Look carefully in the mirror and pay attention to whether there is a golden tint in your hair, what color your eyes and freckles are. The most important thing is to understand your skin tone. With a cold color type, the skin of the face has a slightly gray tone, and with a warm color type it has a yellowish tone.

I'll tell you one more secret. Look at the color of the veins on your wrist. If there is yellow pigment in the skin, then the veins will be green ( blue vein and yellow skin gives green). In this case, you can be sure that the color type is warm. If your skin tone is cold, the veins will remain blue.

Cool color types include Winter and Summer. To warm ones - Spring and Autumn.

• If you are the owner bright eyes, dark hair and eyebrows, then the color type will be Winter or Autumn.
• Spring and Summer are usually characterized by muted tones and soft transitions. Brown, ash or blond hair combined with pale skin gives a feeling of lightness.

Description of color types

I hope you have already figured out what color type you consider yourself to be. If you still have doubts, then I give detailed description with recommendations about who gets what.

Winter is cold and bright. Often these are oriental girls with an exotic appearance. Their skin can be dark olive, pale porcelain, cold beige. Eye color is bright - brown, green, blue, etc. The lips are clearly defined and rich in color. Hair – black, brown, dark brown without red.

Such girls can have bright accents in their clothes and not seem vulgar: red, purple, turquoise, a combination of black and white, pink and others. Makeup is also acceptable, although winter girls look amazing without it. Lipstick should be cool: red, burgundy, fuchsia, lilac and almost all shades of pink. It is also advisable to keep eye makeup in cool shades. Metal of such girls: silver, white gold.

Spring is warm and subdued. This type is quite rare, but most often these are European girls. They have delicate and fair skin and may have freckles. The hair is golden, light brown with a slight reddish tint. Eyebrows and hair color do not contrast with the tone of the face. The eyes are soft - blue, gray, green.

A spring girl needs to choose her wardrobe in her own color scheme. All gentle warm shades are suitable: yellow, mustard, grass color, peach, etc. It will create contrast and add freshness to the blue color. The main thing in makeup is not to overdo it. Light tone, pastel shadows, brown mascara, warm lipstick and peach blush are all you need. Jewelry is suitable from gold, wood and natural stones.

Summer is cold and subdued. Most often this type is found among us – Slavs. Light skin, porcelain or cold beige. Eyes gray, green or blue - gentle. Hair color is mostly blond with gray tint.

For men, girls and women of any age are divided into three types: blondes, brunettes and redheads. But we ourselves understand that not everything is so primitive, and the palettes of famous branded coloring products are voluminous and varied: blondes, chocolates, chestnuts, ash, black and copper tones - their number is close to infinity, and the newly released collections are replete with a variety of “flavors”.

The easiest way that a woman knows to change what has become a habitual and even slightly boring look is a haircut and/or coloring. But not every beauty is ready to part with maxi or midi length hair, but change its color and thereby add bright notes to the image - why not? But the color, even if it is, cannot be taken at random: the result may not justify itself, “kill” the face and “erase” the eyes.

When dyeing hair color, it shapes a person’s individuality, but the procedure for choosing the appropriate option is complex and responsible.

General classification of color types

The correct choice of hair color is based on the female color type. Some stylists who work with hairstyles do not bother much and distinguish only two types of women: “cold” and “warm”. In their classification, they are based on the color and type of skin, the iris of the eyes and the natural shade of hair given by nature.

Warm appearance includes golden or peach-toned skin, amber eyes, Green colour or tea color. Copper strands gleam in normally chestnut-colored hair. Let's also name Penelope Cruz as a bright media representative of the warm color type. “Warm” girls and women are recommended to use any warm shades that enliven natural color hair and perfectly harmonizing with it - golden, red tones, nutty.

It is strictly not recommended to add cold tones to a warm color type, which include numerous ash and platinum, as well as light blond - unusual for fairly dark skin, they will highlight every wrinkle and visually add a dozen years to their owner.

Warm color type - warm golden-copper-red color scheme and no ash or classic blonde

Cool beauties are characterized by blue and gray-green, as well as light brown eyes combined with light or pale skin with a barely noticeable blush. Natural hair color varies from ash of varying degrees of saturation to raven. A platinum or black color will look impressive, original and stylish on such women, and for those with dark and black hair, a noble shade of red wine and mahogany will be suitable. But warm and bright red, golden and honey shades will create a color imbalance, worsen and make the complexion unhealthily greenish, shading it unfavorably with their sunshine.

Cool color type - choose paint among ash and black shades, all kinds of blond and natural light brown, avoiding golden-red and nut tones

Winter spring Summer Autumn

More scrupulous stylists and masters of hairdressing approach the matter more globally and distinguish not two very general color types, but four - two in each of the indicated ones: warm ones include Spring and Autumn, cold ones - Winter and, oddly enough, Summer. The principles remain the same, but colors can be chosen more carefully:

Summer is the most common cold color type among Russian women: pale or slightly olive skin that practically does not tan; gray-blue, gray-green, green-blue, and sometimes hazel-colored eyes; “native hair” is light brown (necessarily with an ashy tint) or cold chestnut. The optimal tones for hair coloring range from cool blonde with a light brown undertone to nut-chocolate.
Winter – pale, even bluish skin; necessarily dark hair - from dark chestnut to blue-black; eyes of rich bright color - gray, blue, brown. Optimal dark tones for hair coloring: from chocolate and cold chestnut to ultra-black.

Spring - well-tanned ivory or bronze light skin and light, wheat-colored hair, eyes can be different - blue, green, hazel. Optimal tones for hair coloring: warm wheat shades and cappuccino, caramel, nut, copper and amber tones.
Autumn - your natural hair certainly shimmers with gold or copper, your skin ranges from easily burned, almost transparent to dark with an excellent even tan, eyes of any color, but always with luminous golden sparkles. Optimal tones for hair coloring: from golden-copper and caramel to chestnut and hot chocolate.

Determining your own color type and focusing on it when choosing hair dye is the most reliable way not to get into trouble when changing your image: the palette of tones recommended for each color type is wide, and therefore every girl or woman will find one hundred percent her own color in it.

Skin condition

Few who want to change their natural hair color think about the fact that the result obtained after such a seemingly careful selection turns out to be far from ideal, because the skin of the face played a role. Unhealthy skin - acne, allergic rash, skin irritations, liver and dark spots, peeling - requires not only close attention and care, but also the right choice hair dyes, otherwise you risk aggravating the situation and making all these facial “charms” clearer and more visible.

An unsuccessfully chosen hairstyle color will place unnecessary emphasis on problem skin faces

Radical colors - very dark tones (dark chestnut, black, blue-black), very light tones (warm and cold blondes, ashy, etc.), rich red or copper - will only emphasize all the imperfections of the skin. If your skin is not entirely attractive, it is not recommended to experiment with hair dyes that are more than a couple of tones different from your natural one. Full coloring of the head is optional, but it would be somewhat more organic to perform coloring in suitable tones, and for beautiful light heads -. Then the basic tone of the hairstyle will remain its own, native, and the skin of the face with imperfections will not draw attention to itself.

How to choose a new hair color?

If the determination to change the image has become stronger, you have decided on the color type, it is time to ask yourself the question: what do I want? Bring a subtle revitalization to your usual hairstyle with tones that are in harmony with the “native” color, perform colorization, or radically transform from brunette to blonde or vice versa?

If you prefer to dye your hair at home, then, having narrowed the search for the desired tone to your own color type, in the cosmetics store, in the department of hair coloring and care products, refer to the palette of the selected manufacturer. The palette is a line of tones, for greater clarity, made in the form of a “color card” with samples of colored strands and usually a two-digit number for each. The first number in this number indicates the depth of the color, the second - its shade. In natural lighting conditions, determine whether a strand of the palette matches your own “native” tone, and then (depending on whether you want to go darker or lighter) choose a tone for coloring that is different from yours within two points. And now, in this depth and the proposed shades, you choose the one that is closer to your soul.

When choosing professional shades and wanting a natural result, use a palette of paints that is developed by branded manufacturers

It will not be possible to transform from a brunette to a blonde in one fell swoop, even with the help of a professional stylist: such an execution is beyond the power of even healthy and strong hair– global lightening is performed only gradually. But from light to dark - please: the dark pigment will happily cover the light one at once.

The correct choice of tone for coloring will refresh the face and make it rested and young, and the eyes – expressive and deep; unsuccessful paint will highlight imperfections and make your skin look unhealthy.

Do you want changes in your appearance, but are you afraid of ruining everything? Whatever look you're going for (natural, radically new or bold), you can choose the right hair color. The right hair color will highlight your facial features and skin tone, and make your hair shine.

Steps

Determine your skin tone

Find out why skin tone matters. Once you determine your skin tone, you can use your hair color to shade your skin. If your hair color doesn't match your skin tone and facial features, you will look unnatural. Before deciding on your hair color, decide whether you are a warm or cool hair type.

Consider whether your skin tone is warm. In skin with warm tone there is a yellowish tint. People with such skin usually do not burn in the sun, but tan evenly. Earthy colors suit this skin (brown, yellow, cream of all shades). Gold jewelry looks good on warm skin tones.

Consider whether your skin tone is cool. In skin with in a cold tone there is a pinkish or bluish tint. People with such skin burn quickly or cannot tan. People with this skin tone suit blue, red and burgundy in a variety of variations. Silver looks good on “cold” skin.

Remember that you may have a neutral skin tone. Some people have a skin tone that is neither cool nor warm. This skin has a neutral tone: it has neither pinkish nor yellowish tints. The veins of people with such skin are neither green nor blue. Almost all colors suit people with this skin tone.

Consider whether you want to keep it natural or radically change your look. Your desires determine your choice. Do you want your hair to look natural? Or want to dye your hair the opposite color? Or dye your hair with bright and unnatural dye? Decide what suits you and your lifestyle best.

Choose a color that will look good on you. You may have always liked red hair, but this color just won't suit you. If you have a warm skin tone and want to dye your hair blue, it is better to choose another bright color.

• Bring along a photo of the color you want to achieve. This will avoid misunderstandings. Words like "brown," "red," or "blonde" aren't specific enough, but don't use words like "ashy," "honey," or "coffee" if you don't know what they mean.

1. Try coloring first. Dyeing individual strands will add warm or cool shades to your hair. If you have a warm skin tone, colorize with gold, copper or golden brown tones. If you have a cool skin tone, choose wheat, honey, taupe and ash shades.

2. Don't forget about your eyebrows. Always keep your eyebrows in mind when coloring your hair. If you have dark hair and decide to lighten it, try dyeing your eyebrows too.

• Remember that it will take a long time to grow your hair, and you will need to constantly adjust the color to keep your roots looking neat.
• Just because a certain dye matches your skin type does not mean it will suit you. All people are different.
