Different shades of the cold blond palette have their own specifics and purpose:

1. Ash / Platinum... This is a classic option that looks beautiful on any hair length. Light brown and light blond hair lend themselves well to coloring. Experts refuse to carry out staining for girls with strong pigment, red or black. The desired shade must be achieved in several procedures, which will greatly damage the hair structure.

4. Transparent ash... The color, due to strong lightening, becomes almost transparent. The method involves the maximum removal of pigment from the hair, making it "glassy". Not suitable for transparent blond girls with a strong natural piment. It is unacceptable to use this technique on damaged and weak hair.
5. With a color tint... Such a bond is suitable for courageous girls who want to create a mystical image. Different shades of pink, purple, blue are best suited. These colors are well combined with each other using the ombre or highlighting technique.

In addition to traditional dyes and lightening powders, there are other materials for lightening hair:

1. Permanent paints - penetrate deep into the hair structure and neutralize the natural pigment without the subsequent appearance of yellowness.
2. Blond Sprays - effective only on fair-haired girls, able to lighten hair up to 2 tones.
3. Tint products - suitable for blondes. Designed for additional clarification of 0.5-1 tones or masking yellowness. They do not contain ammonia and do not penetrate into the hair, creating a film on the outside. Rinse off quickly.
4. Brightening gels - the brightening effect does not exceed 2 shades.
5. Blond shampoos - even out the general tone of the hair and mask the growing roots. The maximum effect is 2 tones. Suitable for fair-haired girls.
6. White henna - an aggressive agent with a high content of hydroperite. Lightens 4-5 tones, suitable for dark-haired curls. After the first application, the color may be red.
7. Brightening creams - have a weak effect (1-2 tones). They have a healing effect on curls.

Before using any material, you should first make a test for the individual tolerance of the product.

Otherwise, painting can lead to unexpected consequences.
