The desire to change hair color is often associated not only with changeable fashion, but also with the desire to update the appearance in accordance with changes in the inner world. Brunettes in this regard may have some difficulties with the choice of color, because it is much more difficult for them to achieve lighter and purer tones due to some features of black hair. But this is possible - you just need to know the subtleties of coloring in different tones.
The appearance and color of black hair is due to their morphology, and they are the opposite of the hairstyle of brown-haired women and blondes. home distinguishing feature- increased thickness and rigidity of the hair shaft due to the density of keratin scales that form the top layer, so their average number is 100-110 thousand, while the owners of thinner and lighter hair have about 140 thousand.
Another feature is the predominance of eumelanin (brown pigment) over red-yellow pheomelanin, due to which the hair color is black. If a lady uses dyes that contain ammonia, or is in direct sunlight for a long time, the dark pigment is destroyed and the curls become yellowish (reddish) tint. This explains the impossibility of coloring in too light cold tones, for example, in a Scandinavian blond.
In addition, brunettes, in order to dye even in light brown shades, require stronger, and therefore aggressive coloring compositions than blondes.
Despite the fact that professional masters recommend that dark-haired young ladies not make drastic changes, but only change the shade of their natural curls, brunettes can easily afford to dye their hair in light colors or completely bleach their hair. Of course, you will have to prepare for the fact that this process will be gradual and lengthy, otherwise you can seriously damage the hair structure, as a result of which they will look lifeless.
Another thing is if the black-haired fashionista is a repainted blonde or brown-haired woman, although in this case it will not be possible to quickly return to the previous color without prejudice to the hairstyle. It will not be difficult to lighten even dark hair by 1-2 tones at home, but more extreme versions (blond) are already a hierarchy of salon masters, unless, of course, the goal is to ruin the curls completely.
When choosing the right shade, it should also be borne in mind that it should harmoniously contrast with the color of the skin and eyes.
There are several options that black-haired ladies can resort to.
A radical option for painting is discoloration, but all masters have a negative opinion on this matter. This procedure provides for lightening by almost 9 tones, which means a real disaster for hair. Such changes are especially difficult to implement on thick hair, characteristic of brunettes. You can do this for 2-3 times with thin hair. However, in practice, most dark-haired fashionistas very soon realize that they made a mistake: they feel discomfort in the new color.
Therefore, it is worth thinking carefully before deciding on such transformations.
So, in order to dye black curls and transform from brunette to blonde, there are technologies that imply such actions:
The easiest way is to use the services of professionals, since only they know exactly how to stain, which components and in what safe concentration are used. If there are still traces of henna staining on the hair, it is better to postpone lightening altogether, since the result of the procedure may be unexpected.
There is always the option of partial dyeing, for example, on short black hair, such a type of dyeing as “veil” or “feathers” looks great, and for strands of medium length, magic contrast, ombre, Venetian or Californian highlights are perfect. Perhaps someone will like the Crazy Colors technique, which involves coloring using blue, green, pink and other shades.
All these spectacular images can be created by looking into the salon, but it is possible to change the color of dark strands at home.
You can dye your hair yourself, but you should not rely too much on desired result- In most cases, black hair can only be lightened.
For dyed strands, chemical dyes such as washes, special shampoos and dressings, or folk remedies are suitable.
Natural black hair can also be bleached in folk ways or chemical dyes can be used. In this case, it is advisable to choose means of cold tones in order to avoid a yellow tint. For this it is better to buy professional paints, such as Estel. To get a light brown or light red color, it is better to take shades No. 8.9 and 10, for a light blond tone - No. 12.
But you should always keep in mind that yellowness can be noticeable on the hair. Actually, this is why it is recommended to carry out coloring in a hairdresser's with an experienced master.

Issinya- black color belong to the category of classic tones, but it is far from suitable for every girl. What color type (eyes, skin, natural shade of curls) is this shade recommended and in what cases is it contraindicated? What are the pros and cons of dyeing blue-black and how to do it at home? What is the cost of services in a beauty salon and how to care for hair after the procedure?
The blue-black color harmoniously combines not only rich black, but also a dark blue or dark purple hue, casting a bluish tint and a cold, icy sheen. Hence the telling name. In another way, it is called "the color of the crow's wing", the color of black ink, blueberry color, etc. 
Even the ancient Egyptians (around the fourth millennium BC) dyed their hair in a blue-black tint, using henna powder and various natural ingredients (Indigofera dye plant, crushed tadpoles, crow eggs, etc.). Later, during Soviet times, women began to dye their hair with dark ink, achieving a blue-black tone. However, this paint was very unstable.
Blue-black color firmly became fashionable by the end of the 20th century, when high-quality chemical dyes (including on a gentle basis) appeared in abundance, which made it easy to get the desired hair tone. Due to the brightness, saturation and expression of color, the blue-black hue is popular to this day.
The blue-black tint is a color of contrasts, so it is not suitable for everyone. When choosing, it is important to take into account not only the natural tone of the hair, but also the color of the eyes and skin. And not every dark-haired girl will fit the “black wing color”, because, unlike warm shades, it gives the image a coldness and even rigidity. In addition, all the flaws become visible on the face (redness, dark circles under the eyes, fine wrinkles, etc.).
Blue-black color is contraindicated for owners of light curls, because it will visually weigh down the face, easily “throwing” 3-5 extra years. Yes, and it will be difficult to wash off such a shade. 
Note! Blue-black color falls unevenly on light strands, giving a chaotic look to the hairstyle. And when the roots begin to grow, the curls look completely unnatural.
With regard to fair-haired girls, the situation does not change dramatically, and this shade is still undesirable, because it can pretty much spoil the hairstyle. But, if you really want, you can find good master and carry out the procedure in the hairdressing salon. 
But for dark hair, a blue-black shade will be just right, enhancing the natural tone (especially if the curls are black or dark brown).

But here it is also important to consider the color of the skin and eyes, since for some dark-haired beauties, for example, with a warm skin tone and light eyes, this shade may not suit. 
Blue-black color will be the perfect complement for short hair. Preferred haircuts are garcon, pixie, classic bob, ragged bob, etc. The presence or absence of bangs does not matter. 
Advice! This length is perfect for fair-skinned girls (regardless of eye color).
For ladies with medium length hair and white skin, a blue-black color with a bluish tint is recommended. This will help to make the look more expressive and will perfectly set off fair skin. 
For owners of olive and dark skin, a blue-black shade with a deep blue tint is ideal. Recommended haircuts - aurora, elongated caret, etc.
On long hair oh, this color looks just amazing, striking with richness and depth. But, in order to avoid possible mistakes when painting (because you need to correctly calculate the amount of paint, exposure time, etc.) and get a gorgeous result, you should contact an experienced master. 
Blue-black color blends harmoniously with both straight and curly hair.
The blue-black shade is in perfect harmony with very pale (almost porcelain) skin, and at the same time suits dark-skinned women. The preferred eye color is blue, green, dark gray and dark brown. Girls with lighter eyes (transparent gray, light blue, etc.) and warm (sand or beige) skin tone need to be more careful, because black with a blue tint can give the face a tired look, emphasizing all the existing flaws. 
Black color with a blue tint is contraindicated in the following cases:
Note! A woman with blue-black curls will seem to others more self-confident, daring and brave (and perhaps even cold and inaccessible).
The advantages of this shade include the following features:
However, the blue-black color is quite difficult to wash out (and this is a real problem), so washing is indispensable here. At the same time, this shade is not suitable for every girl and woman, because it can age and emphasize skin imperfections. And therein lies its shortcomings.

I have naturally dark hair, and I used to always dye my hair brown. But lately I've wanted something new, so I decided to experiment. A hairstylist friend suggested I try Syoss Blue Black. That same evening, I went to the nearest supermarket and bought paint. Friends and work colleagues immediately began to compliment me, assuring me that the color really suits me, emphasizing green eyes and fair skin. I am very pleased with the result, and as soon as the paint is washed off, I will definitely buy the same one again.
I have always looked with envy at luxurious brunettes and also secretly dreamed of trying this look. But the problem is that by nature I am a light brown-haired woman (and even with freckles on my face), so the masters often dissuaded me from the risky step - dyeing in dark colors.

How to dye your hair black.
It is best to dye in a "charcoal" color with natural dyes. First, it's more secure. And secondly, curls dyed with natural paint are easier to return to their natural appearance.
Warning:
black chemical paint is harmful not only to hair, but also to health, but if you dye your hair 1-2 times, you are unlikely to harm yourself much. But you should not use it constantly, for a long period.
Ingredients harmful to health: oxidizing agents, diaminophenol, resorcinol, hydroquinone.
These substances have a carcinogenic effect on the body. So, if you want not to harm your health, but you don’t want to refuse a dark color, you need to paint with natural black dyes - basma with henna.
Henna and Basma
It has been known for a couple of thousand years that natural dyes are better - henna with basma. It paints well in black with the following composition: 2 parts of basma, 1 part of henna. All this is angered with boiling water until a thick slurry is obtained. Mix with lemon juice (4 tablespoons per 500 g of solution). Plus, for better coloring, 1 tbsp. dimexide (you can not add). Become a brunette with a slight tint of dark chocolate. Plus a beautiful shine of curls. It is clear that the resulting tone depends on the original tone of your hair.
How to wash off black hair.
Finally, the most important section is how to remove black paint. It is very difficult to remove the pigment of black paint from the hair, as it penetrates deeply into them. The dark one is the hardest to remove.
The first step is bleaching.
This is a very lengthy process in which there is a serious risk of weakening the hair. The paint must be removed evenly from all curls. Usually, it is not possible to remove the black color during bleaching at one time as it should be - it is necessary to do bleaching procedures. At the same time, there is a risk that due to numerous bleaching, the hair will be severely damaged and become thin.
You can wash off black paint either in the salon (but it's expensive), or at home, but it's useless.
Although today, washes are sold that can be used to wash off the paint at home - there will be no sense. At home, you can not even try to wash it off - you will only burn your hair. But all these home experiments will not be very expensive. You will not find other obvious ways to remove paint at home. But what you can try to do at home is nourishing masks and dandruff shampoo (it is the most active). These products slowly remove the dark pigment from the hair - and there is a chance that in a month the dark color will fade and be at least chocolate. We advise you not to rush, so as not to completely kill the hair. You can just wait a while - without doing anything - the color itself will turn into chestnut in a month.
But, if you still decide to wash off at home, you should know that there are two types of washes:
The main rule.
Do not attempt to repaint black without removing the paint. You will never paint over it with anything, without a wash! No paint will lighten black paint!
Therefore, go YOU ... straight to the salon. BUT just do not settle for a blond wash - it spoils the hair, and at the same time the paint washes off badly. Acid wash helps best of all (Estel has it). Of course, this is an expensive wash, but the hair will be the least damaged. At the same time, it is important that you are handled by a master who has previously performed this operation. An inexperienced master is transported all day, and the color will remain unchanged.
In modern times, women face a big dilemma, what color to dye their hair in order to look spectacular and a few years younger.

If a beautiful woman is the owner of gray hair and her hair is dyed black, she needs to be prepared for the procedure of permanent tinting of the hair roots in the same color.
With the help of vegetable paint - basma, you can get the desired black shade without harm to the hair and scalp. Basma - Indian vegetable dye from indigo, absolutely natural. This paint originates from the distant past, when the hair of the fairer sex in Egypt and India was dyed with it. Later, the paint began to be used by the Greeks and Romans.
With proper use of basma, you can achieve an excellent result, as well as a variety of shades: chocolate, chestnut, coffee. So, in combination with basma and henna, also of plant origin, it will relieve the hair of a greenish tint, which leaves the use of pure and undiluted basma.

Every woman wants to be unique, to show her individuality. At the same time, she is open to change, many of which start with her hair. Every girl often changes her hair color, makes a new haircut.

Despite the fact that most modern dyes are safe for hair, some of the fair sex still prefer to use more gentle coloring agents, such as basma.
Natural dyes, which include basma and henna, not only provide them with a bright saturated shade, but also give them a healthy shine.
Basma is a natural dye that has become widely known to the fair sex since the time of the ancient Egyptians. This is a kind of blue-green powder that can be obtained from the dried leaves of a tropical plant.
A bright blue dye comes out of it. It is an environmentally friendly product that is absolutely safe, which makes it possible to color and improve hair. In its composition, it contains some useful tannins, vitamin C, wax.
In addition, basma has a regenerating and anti-inflammatory effect, makes it possible to prevent hair loss and get rid of dandruff.
When dyeing, it should be borne in mind that basma is a very active component that can change the structure of the hair.
That is why if a girl wants to dye her hair in a light color in the near future, she will not be able to do it right away, since the dark color will have to be removed for a long time.
It is best to use natural basma without adding chemical components, as it will not adversely affect the hair.
This natural paint has certain advantages, which include the following:
Basma is ideal if a woman is sensitive to any components of hair dye or is allergic to cosmetics.
Hair can be dyed dark black with basma, but it is better to do this with caution. First of all, it is important to remember that natural paint gives the hair a blue-black tint, and in certain situations it can even be greenish.
Of course, for some girls, this may be the ultimate goal. However, if such a shade is not desirable, then you should be guided by several important rules.
Some of the fair sex are naturally endowed with black hair with a red tint. These women are always self-confident, calm, but they are adventurous and feel quite free in society.
However, some girls tend to change their image and dye their hair black and red. In this situation, we can say that the woman is intrigued, she has not yet decided whether to dive into the pool with her head or continue to continue to control the situation.
Natural shades of black and red almost always have a warm tone. However, now there are a significant number of coloring techniques that allow you to give the hairstyle restraint and purity of cold tones.
Many girls prefer highlighting, which is ideal for those women whose age does not allow wearing black. In addition, this combination allows you to somewhat smooth out the rich black color and even hide the gray hair.
The most demanded service in hairdressing salons is dyeing bleached hair in a rich dark color. The procedure is particularly complex and requires the skill of a stylist. In some situations, the procedure may take a long period of time before the desired result is achieved.
First of all, you should clearly decide for yourself what period of time the fair sex wants to spend with dark hair. The choice of paint depends on this.
After choosing a paint, you should contact a specialist who will professionally perform staining.
