Sometimes you want to radically change your image and transform from a blonde to a brunette, or dye your curly braids red. But expectations don't always match reality, so you should weigh the pros and cons before making an appointment at the hairdresser.

A successful transformation does not always require a radical change of image: sometimes it is more appropriate to emphasize your natural beauty. New York-based colorist Dana Ionato tells us how to do it.

Insidious platinum

Platinum, a favorite of many blondes, is actually very rarely suitable for anyone. If you want to dye your hair in this color, your eyes should be as expressive as possible, your eyelashes should be long and fluffy, your eyebrows should be bright, and your skin should be perfect and matte white. And even if all external conditions are met, the platinum shade can age. Girls with bright eyes and blonde hair should refresh their look with wheat shades.

Magic chocolate

For women with dark hair, shades of coffee, chocolate, and walnut are best suited. You can play with a red undertone. Or you can stop somewhere in between the natural color and red, choosing the amber option. The main thing is not to experiment with blond and avoid ashy shades. Such a dye on brown hair can look untidy.

Sunny red

Achieving a gorgeous red color on your hair is not easy. A monochromatic orange will look cheap. It looks spectacular only during complex three-tone coloring, when the darkest of the roots smoothly flows into the light tips. For girls with very fair skin, any tricks with red are prohibited. But for those with dark skin, mahogany, red wine, or plum colors are perfect.

Mysterious black

This dangerous color is next to ash. Girls with fine hair should never dye their hair brunette. Black will visually "thin out" your braids even more. And split hair in black can create a sloppy look. In addition, black will emphasize acne and wrinkles. Only young girls with perfect skin can dye their hair brunette.
