Should I become blonde?

Blonde is a special state of mind :) Become a blonde if you feel optimistic, attractive, very sexy, a little frivolous, sociable and playful.

• You have blue eyes and fair skin? Blonde is definitely the hair color that suits you!
• If you relate to a cold color type, cool hair tones will suit you: ash, cream, some caramel tones.
• For those who have skin pinkish undertone, fashionable honey shades of hair color would be suitable.
• If you have dark eyes and yellowish pale skin, copper blonde is the perfect color for you.

No, you shouldn't be blonde

Think twice when deciding from the redhead become blonde. Most likely, you won’t get a luxurious blonde - a copper tint will still break through it. Try to choose a better hair color!

If you are brunette and decided to become a blonde, ash blonde is not a very suitable hair color for you. Choose a softer blonde shade instead.

Brunette

Being a brunette is practical (since the growing hair roots are not very noticeable) and varied (since there are a great many shades of hair!)

Should I become a brunette?

Brunette is the right hair color for you if you want to be in harmony with yourself, want naturalness, want to appear as a reliable and serious woman in business and marriage, and also passionate in bed. Brunettes are perceived by us as more sincere women than blondes.

The right hair color for you

A brunette is more than just bright black hair. There is something lighter - up to a light brown shade!

• If you relate to a cold color type, then you need to choose a cold color for your hair. Take a closer look at the name - ash chocolate, frosty chestnut, beige brown... They can’t think of anything :)
• If the range of your skin is warm, you have much more choice. Pay attention to rich chestnut, chocolate and reddish tones.
• Take a closer look at your skin color. The darker your skin, the darker your hair color you can afford, and vice versa. Don't go against your natural colors: it will only make things worse.

What should I do? if the chosen hair color is still too dark for you? Act like the stars: separate face-framing strands with light caramel or cream shades.

No, you don’t need to be a brunette...

If your skin is very fair and you choose a very dark hair color, then there is a high probability that your face will become less expressive. In addition, with this color you will add years to your age.

Redhead

Should I become a redhead?

To become a redhead, you need to have courage! If you are a redhead, it means that you are not only brave, but also passionate, ardent, and energetic! In general, if you are always in the whirlpool of events and in the spotlight, then red is a completely suitable hair color 😉

The right hair color for you

The most suitable hair color for fair skinned people- from delicate light pink to bright red. If you are dark-skinned, choose a hair color that is darker shades of red and red.

Do you like redheads, but are you afraid? Then try giving your hair a subtle shade of red or red with a hair tint. The color will sparkle in the sun! And if your hair is dark, you can color individual strands with a suitable red or red color.

Don't wear red hair if...

Do you have a reddish skin color? - Then, alas, red hair color does not suit you...

When you hear the word “blonde,” you immediately think of the American actress Marilyn Monroe from the film “The Misfits” or Lyubov Orlova from the film “Jolly Fellows.” These beautiful blonde actresses are the standard of beauty for many women of any generation. And if a few years ago it was believed that men prefer blondes, then in the modern world they prefer smart women with a beautiful figure, regardless of their hair color. But some ladies still want to look like cute, gentle blondes.

Modern women sometimes prefer to change their preferences in choosing hair color. The difficulty is that not every representative of the fair sex knows whether light hair color suits her. It’s good if her “female intuition” helps her with this. What if not? We will try to help you understand this issue.

We decided put all the pros and cons into several points. If for you there are more advantages in favor of the “Blonde” color, then you can without a doubt become a “burning” blonde. Well, if not, then don’t be upset.

Who can go blonde: spring, summer, autumn or winter?

"Girl - Spring"

If your Natural hair has light shades, blue or gray eyes are combined with fair skin, then your type of appearance is a “spring girl”. Natural tones will suit you: from light golden and honey to sandalwood. Light highlighting or coloring using the modern sharush technique will look charming.

"Girl - Summer"

"Girl - Summer" has noble features with a slight blush and ashen hair bleached in the hot sun. If you belong to this color type, then choose shades of wheat or ash brown - they will add warmth and life to your hair.

"Girl - Autumn"

The "girl has autumn" the hair is bright red or with a reddish tint, white delicate skin is covered with small freckles, and in the bright sun it quickly burns and turns red. Your best option is the warm tones of sandalwood.

"Girl - Winter"

Girls like this are the owners of milky white skin combined with dark shades of hair, eyes of cool light shades. Becoming blonde, in this case, is not advisable. You can lose not only color, but also expressiveness. But there are also some exceptions to the rules.

For blondes, age is no barrier

It has long been known that changing your hairstyle can change your character, and therefore your life. A new hair color can refresh your face, make it look younger, or it can age it or deprive it of color and expressiveness. Modern stylists argue that as women age, they need to switch to lighter shades, and hair dye can help them with this. If you decide to become a “natural blonde” in order to look younger, then take our advice:

Use natural shades of blonde - this will give your hair vibrant depth;

Very light colors will give your face a pale, unhealthy look;

Pros: if you naturally have brown or light brown hair, then do not hesitate - “rejuvenate” by lightening your hair.

Disadvantages: by turning into a “blonde” you will not be able to hide gray hair if you were previously a brunette.

It’s a troublesome and expensive pleasure to dye your hair in chic blonde tones. It is better not to do this at home. Many have experienced this themselves - getting burnt yellow strands, and even with unpainted areas. Constantly touching up regrown roots every 1-1.5 months and regular care for dry, damaged hair is what awaits our “blondes”. But if you stop at nothing to achieve your desired goal, you will become the owner of gorgeous blonde hair. And such a woman cannot go unnoticed by men, and many women will envy you.

Pros: beautiful hair, the delight of men, the undisguised envy of all women.
Cons: troublesome and expensive.

Hair condition and desire to become a “natural blonde”

Hair care - this is the lot not only of blondes, but also of other representatives of the fair half. But you are a blonde, then to create the look of well-groomed hair you will have to spend a lot more time and a lot more money. Otherwise, your hair will look unkempt and sloppy, but for such an effect, it’s hardly worth bothering yourself so much. Women with “blond” heredity will have a much easier time in this matter. but brunettes will have to try hard to achieve an excellent result. Blonde hair is much thinner and can be dyed easily, but dark hair is difficult to dye.

Many celebrities experiment with their appearance. Natural blondes change their hair color to a darker one, while brunettes choose lighter shades. However, such changes are not suitable for everyone. Today we'll look at which stars don't suit being blonde. In the photo you can clearly see this.

Angelina Jolie

To participate in the filming of the film "Life or Something Like That" in 2001, Angelina Jolie changed her hair color from dark to light. As we can see in the photo, this option does not look advantageous. The actress never repeated this experiment with her appearance again.

Kim Kardashian

Kim Kardashian looks very harmonious with natural dark hair. The star tried more than once to change her hair color to blond, but the results were not very successful. One would think that Kim Kardashian decided to stick to more natural tones, closer to her natural hair color, but that was not the case. The famous socialite continues to shock the public. The latest experiment is platinum blonde. Do you think the new hair color suits Kim?

Anne Hathaway

The appearance of Anne Hathaway with short hair and blonde hair attracted everyone's attention. After all, the hair color doesn’t suit her at all. Having chosen a shade that was too light, the actress left her eyebrows dark. The result is a contrast between brown eyes, dark eyebrows and light hair. You need to take this into account if you decide to radically change your hairstyle.

Jessica Biel

Jessica Biel also didn't like her blonde hair color. She tried to go blonde in 2008, but it was an unsuccessful move. Light hair color blends with skin tone. After some time, the actress returned to a richer dark shade.

Zooey Deschanel

Even though Zooey Deschanel has been a brunette most of the time, her natural hair color is blonde. From time to time she turns blonde. However, after filming the film “Elf,” the actress dyed her hair brunette. She looks gorgeous, because the dark color emphasizes all the advantages of her face.

Victoria Beckham

Victoria Beckham gained fame by being a brunette. And after the Spice Girls broke up, she dyed her hair blonde. But being blonde doesn't suit her either. Especially in combination with the use of bronzer and a very short haircut.

Katharine McPhee

Katharine McPhee was a runner-up on "American Idol" and won the hearts of her fans as a brunette. However, she also repeatedly tried to become blonde, but could not find the perfect shade. Ashy light colors do not suit her at all. And even attempts to make my eyebrows thinner and dye them a light color were still unsuccessful.

Jennifer Love Hewitt

After the birth of her daughter, Jennifer changed her hair color to blonde. This showed that being blonde doesn't suit her. The actress did an ombre effect on her hair, but it turned out to be an orange tint. As we see, it is often better for brunettes to refuse such experiments.

Leighton Meester

Too light shades of hair also did not suit Leighton Meester. They don't suit her face type and figure. Therefore, the actress refused this option, opting for a brunette.

Jessica Alba

Jessica Alba went blonde to star in the movie Fantastic Four. However, light hair color is not the best solution for a dark-skinned actress. She couldn't find a shade that suited her. Therefore, Jessica remained a brunette.

As we can see from the photo, some stars should give preference to dark shades of hair. After all, it doesn’t suit all of them to be blonde. Don't repeat the mistakes of celebrities. If you decide to change your hair color, take into account the features of your appearance and carefully select the appropriate option.

B eautyHack collected 15 photos of famous blondes (or girls who used to be them), and the head of the Schwarzkopf Professional technology team Tanya Shark told whether they need to give up blonde or just change the colorist.

Angelina Jolie

The colorist made a major mistake when choosing the color: this shade blends into her face. Hair should be lighter or darker than skin tone. In this case, the first option will make the image cheaper. Therefore, the choice is only dark shades.

The actress has two main advantages: big green eyes and lips. Hair should highlight it, be noble, “heavy”, and well-groomed. The blonde looks alien on her.

Victoria Beckham

Another mistake in choosing a shade: a very warm skin tone and a cool blonde. But on the other hand, I’m not sure that a warm light shade would suit Victoria, because it demonstrates the softness of her character. And this is not the case at all.

Dakota Johnson

Dakota's colorist did a good job of matching the blonde color to her skin and eyes. But the gray overgrown roots are confusing and make the hairstyle look messy. You can improve the situation by making the “length” colder or protonating the gray roots.

Jennifer Love Hewitt

To make the color look current, you need light shading of the darker roots - the top appears pale. The master's mistake is in contrast: it is clear that he did a jewelry job, highlighting the top, but the ends look careless, as if they were under-lightened after repeated dyeing.

Jessica Alba

Since this is a photo from Jessica's professional shoot, the blonde looks good. But I would add light, faded strands near the face - they will emphasize the angelic image and make the coloring more elegant.

Jessica Biel

The result was a strong contrast between the shades. At the top of the face, cool chocolate with even cooler chocolate strands is combined with pink lipstick and even the color of the earrings. And the warm sand color in length is another story, which has nothing to do with the root part.

Zooey Deschanel

Even though Zoe experimented with her hair early in her career and ended up choosing a dark shade, her blonde could use some work. Her cold eyes take on any shade. To make the image less casual, and more bright and starry, you need a deliberately warm golden (not poisonous yellow) color.

Keira Knightley

Kira has brown eyes, so there should be dark hair in the root zone that will frame her image. Her dark roots are not enough, they look more like natural regrown hair. If this is truly her natural shade, there should be more of it. If it is a fictitious color, then it should be bright and saturated. And the shading is more neutral, cold. Otherwise, you end up with dirty sandy hair color.

Cameron Diaz

The photo itself is not very good. Most likely, this is why the face has a red tint. On the skin of an adult, tanning should be done carefully. The combination of very light ends and gray roots does not work here. The tone should be either completely ashy (read how to make and maintain it) or platinum.

Leighton Meester

The area of ​​hair from the lip line looks too warm. A more neutral cool shade is needed to achieve a noble look. Although I like the color at the roots.

Rachel McAdams

The hair is well styled, but the scarlet dress sets its own rules for the look. Warm soft roots are lost against its background. For this color it is worth choosing blue, malachite, even orange shades. Or do a lighter, cooler color. Your hair will glow! At the same time, there is no need to go into a gray shade.

Cynthia Nixon

The main association with Cynthia is her role as Miranda in Sex and the City. Because of this, it is difficult to evaluate her real image. But here I don’t like the shape of the hairstyle and the color of the hair. I want to see short red hair and graphic jackets and shirts on her. Otherwise, it turns out to be an old grandmother's story.

Hailey Baldwin

I'm confused by the uneven highlighting from the root. The “diamond” of hair on the parietal area was caused by an unsuccessful dyeing scheme. The roots should be darker and the shading should be more careful. If you have a graphic haircut, then do the coloring clearly. Otherwise, it turns out as if the hairstyle was done in a salon around the corner, and the makeup and image as a whole were the work of celebrity makeup artists and stylists.

Anne Hathaway

No, no and no! Bright brown eyes - bright rich shade of hair. The color should be either platinum or warm, but with dark roots. But Anne, after experimenting with blonde in 2013, chose a classic dark shade.

Natalie Portman

I like Natalie's look. Thin platinum strands will make it ideal; they will add volume and fluffiness to the hairstyle. Hair will look more expensive.
