Ideas for Hair Color Tones

Red Hair Tones

Last year shades of red have been in demand. It doesn't seem the trend is going out anytime soon. We will see 2012 continueing with high demand for Red tones. According to hair stylists one reason for it's popularity is that it stands out and seeks attention. Women are feeling brave enough to go for out of ordinary look. Most popular shades in red are Auburn hair color, Copper Red and Burgundy hair colors. These are not difficult to achieve but needs quite a work to maintain.

Blond Hair Tones

Blond has been ever popular hair color. It's popularity can be gauged from the fact that many economists treat the increasing demand of blond hair dye as a signal for end of recession. Trevor Halls from Garnier dubbs the colour as 'brainy blonde' saying "Women only choose platinum blonde when the economy is booming, as it requires dyeing every two weeks,".

It is a difficult color to achieve, more so if you've already had some permanent colors applied. This is especially true if you are trying to achieve light blond shades. Because strong heat and direct sunlight adversely affect it by making it fade quite fast. It will be easier if you start by adding darker shades that stick and then going lighter a few treatments later. Try to avoid strong bleaches as they usually destroy the hair cuticles and follicles.

Black Hair tones

Black hair give your face a quite mysterious and enigmatic look, if that appeals you then you are in luck. Black tones are easiest to achieve. The molecules in black dye are larger than other colors so it sticks nicely for a long time.
