| Toning | This method does not imply deep penetration of the dye composition into the hair structure. This is a gentle option, so the paint is quickly washed off. This method allows you to experiment with shades in search of the best option. |
With regard to shades, the following should be considered:
- any dark color, from black to brown, will accentuate the graceful lines of the bob. Girls with brown eyes and dark hair will look like an Egyptian princess from ancient manuscripts;
- women with blonde and blonde hair will be attractive if they have a bob of a classic or asymmetrical shape;
- green-eyed and redheads, trimmed under a bob, will be attractive to males.
Any natural shade, as well as a bright fashionable color, looks advantageous with this haircut. You can make your regular natural hair color attractive with toning.
