Color Ideas for Blondes

Color Ideas for Blondes

Blondes have an advantage when coloring their hair. Since their natural color is already light, the hair will take virtually any color. Blonde hair is also easy to lighten and highlight with minimal damage. Choosing which shade to dye your blonde hair is an exciting process. You can enjoy it and have a lot of fun if you follow a few simple tips.

Preparation

Choosing a hair color depends largely on skin tone. There are two types of skin tones -- warm and cool. Warm skin tones usually have yellow undertones, and turn golden brown when tanning. Cool skin tones have blue or pink undertones. There are a couple ways to assess whether you have a warm or cool skin tone. Look at the veins in your arm; if they appear green, you have a warm skin tone. If they appear blue, you have a cool skin tone. Also try holding a white piece of paper up to your face while looking in the mirror. See if your skin looks more yellow or bluer than the paper.

Going Brunette

If you're tired of being the blonde bombshell and want to add a little mystery to your look, becoming a brunette may be the right choice for you. Before you go out and buy a box of home hair color, decide which shade will be the most flattering on you. Blondes with pale skin may not want to go too dark, since this can wash out the skin and make you look pasty. The color choice should also coincide with your skin tone.

If you have a cool, fair skin tone, try an ash brown or a light beige. This will complement your skin tone without going too dark. Keep in mind that when changing your hair to a darker color, your makeup routine will also have to change. Eye shadows should be deeper, and lining your top lid with a black pencil will also make your eyes stand out. For cool skin tones that are deeper, such as an olive complexion, feel free to try ash or beige colors that are darker. For an ultimate change, try a blue-black.

For warm skin tones, try any type of brunette dye with the word "golden" in it. Rich chocolate and auburn colors also look great against warm skin tones.

Going Red

Red hair color will look bold and brilliant when applied to blonde hair. Because your hair is already so light, the pigment of the dye is more apparent. Red hair color tends to fade quickly; on blondes, red will eventually fade to a strawberry color. A good way to keep your red locks bright is by adding a little pre-mixed dye such as Manic Panic to your shampoo. You can also buy shampoos specifically designed for red hair.

Dyeing your hair red is the same as going brunette; base your color choice on your skin tone. Blondes with cool skin tones should probably avoid orange-based red hair altogether. This will wash you out. If you do have cool toned skin and want to try red, go for a purplish-colored red. This will match the blue undertones in your complexion.

Chunked Color

Adding chunks of color to select pieces of hair is easy to do when you have blonde hair. Adding punk stripes in pink, blue or purple will look brilliant and edgy without having to bleach the hair first. When coloring your hair unnatural colors like pink, try using a semi-permanent dye that will allow you to change the color as often as you'd like.

Chunked highlights or frosting are both easy looks you can achieve. Use a frosting cap or foils to choose select pieces of hair and apply a cream hair bleach. Because your hair is already light, you will only need to let the bleach set for about 10 minutes. It is best to check on your hair every five minutes when bleaching; just because your hair is lighter doesn't mean you can't over bleach it and cause damage.

Hair damage cause

Hair damage cause

We used to do mess with our hairs by doing experiments. We are going to simplify things and look at the 6 biggest things not to do with your hair:

1. You're Not Getting Regular Trims

This is definitely the number 1 mistake most people make when it comes to their hairstyle. You may think that not getting regular trims will save you money and help you gain length, but the truth is, without regular trims, your long locks will:

• lose shape and give your hairstyle a very bad appearance
• become unruly and riotous
• become unhealthy and split at the ends- this will make it impossible to ever have a longer hairstyle

Any of these issues will definitely cost you more in the long run. Regular trims are essential for keeping your hair healthy and keeping it looking great. And remember too, to keep the cost down, try spacing out your appointments for a trim.

2. You're doing Color or Cuts Yourself, or You're Letting a Friend Do Them for You

The second biggest mistake that you make with your hair is to attempt a color or cut yourself at home. Telling you right now, it will never measure up to the finish that you'd receive from a professional hairstylist. Even hairstylists don't attempt to do their own hair, and unless you have a friend who is a hairstylist, getting someone else to color or cut your hair for you will most likely end up a complete disaster that costs you more money to fix. For the sake of your hair and to avoid any stress, leave color and cuts to the professionals.

3. You're Not Using the Right Products for Your Hair or Scalp Type

Not using the right products for your hair or scalp type cause hair damage. Most people don't believe that this is really that important, but they couldn't be further from the truth. The wrong product not only stops your hair from being as healthy as it can, but it also prevents you from making full use of your natural hair type and texture, meaning that it can harm any hairstyles you try to create. Imagine how much better your naturally curly locks would look if you used products for curly hair that are designed specially to lock-in the moisture; or, if you had fine hair and you used products containing carbohydrates to add body (such as hair thickening shampoo). Certain conditions too, such as dry and flaky scalps, or excessively oily hair, also require the appropriate products to keep them under control.

4. You're Using Too Much Heat When Styling and Not Giving Your Hair a Break

Don't be fooled: hair straighteners, curling irons and blow-dryers are essential tools for creating great hairstyles, but they do damage your hair if used every day and if not used correctly. You should always:

• research and compare styling utensils to find the best technology available for the price you can afford
• follow manufacturers' recommendations and instructions about how to use these tools
• use a heat protection product to avoid a major mishap
• avoid heat styling all together for a few days to give your hair a break (your locks will thank you for it)

5. You Don't Have a Basic Hair Care Routine

Having a basic hair care routine is simple and easy to achieve, but so many people just don't manage it. Not having a basic hair care routine will leave you with lifeless locks and a head of hair that is far from impressive. To avoid limp and lifeless hair, start your own routine by:

• gently brushing every day to encourage blood flow to the scalp and oil distribution through the mid-lengths and ends of your hair
• using shampoo and conditioner every other day, as well as the appropriate styling product
• using a daily moisturizer to keep the ends of your hair sealed
• applying a 20 minute treatment once a week to keep your mane looking its best

6. You Often Get the Latest Looks Even if They Don't Suit Your Lifestyle or Needs

There's nothing wrong with following trends! But realistically, insisting on having the latest cut or color when they just don't suit you face shape, hair texture, lifestyle or styling time and needs is going to be more hassle than they're worth. Don't blindly follow fashion. Instead, be smart, do your research to find a new hairstyle that complements all your personal requirements (you can even try on hairstyles virtually using your own photo, which totally takes the conjecture out of choosing a new style and promotes better communication between your stylist and you).

Emo Hairstyle

Emo Hairstyle

For an authentic Emo look just follow the guidelines listed below.

Step 1: Grow your hair out. This will take time, but be patient and maybe give some other hairstyles a chance in the meantime. Allow the bangs to grow out until they reach a length that reaches just below the eyes. The rest of your hair should reach your shoulders, and for girls, it can be even longer.

Step 2: Go to the barber or a trustworthy friend for a professional cut. Tell your stylist that the hair should be layered in long, jagged sections. You will need some extra products to have the short spiky look, but first you will need to cut the back into a layered look, as well.

Step 3: Use a razor to cut the ends of your hair so that it creates jagged and narrow edges. You can do this every few months on your own by selecting some sections to shear with a razor.

Step 4: Go darker. Emo hairstyles are typically worn black, but if you don’t want to veer away from blonde too much, add black or dark red streaks.

Step 5: Get rid of any imperfections like kinks, curls or waves. An emo hairstyle should be straight and smooth.

Step 6: Thin your hair. This step should be done by a professional, as it can go wrong quickly if tried alone. If your hair is thicker than normal, you may want to consider making this your first step.

Step 7: Accessorize! Emo hairstyles are known for adding trimmings, barrettes and other sorts of hair accessories. For an edgy style, put the accessories in a random pattern.
