Find the right blonde tone for your hair

Women love to change the style. And when they think about it, the first thing they resort to is their hair, whether it's for a new cut or a new color. Blond tones are preferred on the streets and in the halls. But it is wrong to think that they only match as the lightest skins. "This has nothing to do with it," says hairstylist Viviane Siqueira of Pierre Louis Coiffeur in Rio de Janeiro.

Simply choose the right shade and the best technique according to your skin type and haircut. Even those with lighter skin need to know what looks best, because the blonde should brighten the face and not erase it. For the brunettes who want to go blond, I suggest they start with some kind of strand to gradually lighten the strands and adapt to the new color ?, says Viviane.

In all cases, the first step is to discolor the strands and then color them again. As with all chemical processes, hair ends up being damaged.

• The process of discolouration always affects the hair a little, so the professional should be very well chosen, so that the procedure is done correctly, letting the products act at the right time in the hair, in order to damage as little as possible. For those who are coloring at home, you need to pay close attention to the instructions and always respect the time of chemistry in hair?

Hit the tone

There is no fixed rule, but different shades of color that enhance the appearance, according to each skin tone:

For white skin: light or very light iris blond and pearl laurel.
For pink skin: very light grayish blonde, very light deep gray or golden gray.
For more yellow skin: golden light blond, natural golden or dark golden.
For light brown skin: light blonde or dark natural cold.
For dark brown skin: light golden or dark coppery golden and dark golden iris.
For mulatto or black skins: grayish blonde, deep gray dark blonde or dark grayish blonde.

Know each technique

In addition to the tones, there are also different techniques that create various effects. One of the best known are the lights, suitable for those who want a slight whitening at the tips. "They can be made on any type of hair and are more discreet, thinner, and usually not so clear, and can highlight the outline of the face to enhance and brighten it," explains the hairstylist.

Also well known, balayage is the perfect technique for women who live tan and do not let go of the sun. A combination of hot and cold blondes is made in strands randomly scattered in the hair.

Another technique that is on the rise is the Californian strands, where the root is excluded and the wires are pulled from the middle to the ends, marking the blonde strands well for a sunburn effect. They are ideal for highlighting the cut and accentuating the movement and can have a more subtle effect, such as sunkiss, for those who want to give only a whitening in the tips, or ombré hair, where the streaks are lightened in different shades of blonde.

Similar to California hair, Texas hair is made only along the length of the hair, but also excluding the root. "The application makes a gradient, starts stronger at the ends and goes up the wires, but the blonde can also be more marked throughout the length of the lock, will depend on how the client wants," he explains.

O reflection It is used to make hair look natural. The technique is to dye several small strands of hair with a lighter shade than the root. The effect is a full lighted hair.

To achieve a degrading effect on the hair, the technique of shoulder hair is the most suitable. Hair is bleached at different heights with different strands to make it look as natural as possible.

At Californian wicks They are also known as beach effect hair. The technique is based on lightening the hair from the middle to the ends, giving an appearance of sunburnt hair. Californian is suitable for women with lighter brown or dark blond hair so that the color contrast is not too great.

At spanish lights They are for those women who want to change their look without damaging their hair too much. The technique is to apply the dye to the hair with the help of a comb so the amount of product deposited is smaller, less striking the hair and giving a slight touch of shine.

The technique of hair highlights It consists of pulling the strings with the help of a thin pendant or a proper cap. Brunettes can make lights a darker shade, while blondes a lighter shade.

THE whaling It consists of thicker strands that run from the top of the hair to the ends. The technique is performed with the help of aluminum foil and can be used by women of all color hair because it mixes various shades of blonde.

The technique of strands in hair consists of lightening only isolated parts. The effect is less subtle and it is indicated that the color of the strand is not too different from the root so as not to be too apparent a contrast.

Learn how to take care of blond hair

After conquering the color so dreamed, care needs to be constant so that the threads remain beautiful. The tip of the hair stylist is to moisturize a lot, always. • I recommend using bleached hair products and protecting the hair when exposed to the sun with a hat and sunscreen. It is good to treat in the salon and do reconstruction at least once a month. And at 15 days, moisturize at home, with a good treatment mask ?, ends.
