Dark blonde, the most flattering
Dark blonde, the most flattering
As much as a hair color is worn, if it does not suit us, we will not wear it. Hair is not like clothes, you just take it off if you don't look good in it. When we dye our hair we have to be clear that it will look great. Therefore, one of the things we like the most about dark blonde is that it looks great on most women.

Elías Pedrosa, creative director of Oculto Hair Club tells us that the key to making a tone like this look good "is not so much the chosen lightening tone but the shade that we use which will make a color more or less flattering. In the case of dark hair bases, darker or tanned skin, the golden and copper tones will always look more natural. For lighter or ash hair bases and light skin, we can achieve a natural blonde while maintaining the ash and beige tones. Also in these In some cases we can give more light with somewhat warm but soft tones, like vanilla ".

How do we get it?
How do we get it?
Conchi Fernández, head of stylists at To Be Aguilar Delgado, warns that starting from a chestnut base, getting a dark blonde color is super simple "you just have to raise the color two tones, work with few volumes of oxidant and that spoils much less than if we wanted to get a platinum blonde. With a cream or oil color and at a height of 20 volumes we would have it ".

All this makes dark blonde ideal for summer and if the sun, the sea and the pools already spoil it, imagine if you wear a much lighter color. "With a dark blonde, the structure of the hair does not suffer, it would simply dry out the hair a little but using a good mask or therapy would be enough", concludes Conchi.

Basic care for dark blonde

"One of its advantages is that it is easier to maintain than lighter shades and, especially in darker bases, since the contrast with the natural base will be less. We will not have as sensitive hair as with platinum blonde. But not We must forget that whenever we do a coloring job, the hair will change its texture and we will need to take care of it equally. All hair must have the same basic care, shampoo and conditioner or mask. Apart from this, I recommend the use of thermal or sunscreen to avoid let the color wear off, "says Elías.

Dark blonde with highlights

Conchi Fernández is clear about it, "With highlights, there would be a more natural effect. With a brown base, if highlights are raised by raising a few tones, we would achieve the 'sun-lightened' effect that we like so much". And Elías agrees: "We could use a combination of a Sunlight-type wick with some clarified tip (or not). As it is a very soft and blurred wick, a couple of tones above the hair color will always be a success, since it will seem that It has cleared up naturally. "
What if later I want to clarify it more?

"Dark blonde is a color that can be both a final result and a '' passing '' color for a lightening process. It is recommended for people who have never lightened their hair and who want to go little by little," he says. Elias. You can choose blonde highlights or dare with one of these shades of blonde that are so worn.
