Positive aspects of coloring
Psychologists say that a radical change in image can be beneficial. An example of this are many stars for whom a change in hair color became life-changing:
Natural color
Natural hair color is determined by a professional color palette - a special card with strands located on it. To determine the natural tone, the colorist selects a control strand in the back of the client’s head. It is in this area in the root zone that the hair retains its natural color, while in other areas it fades from sun rays. Color is determined on dry and clean hair, since wet and dirty ones appear darker.
To accurately determine natural color, the colorist lifts the control strand so that light passes through it. It is advisable to do this in daylight, because artificial light can give the hair both warm and cold notes.

It is impossible to say with one hundred percent certainty that girls of the Scandinavian type of appearance cannot wear makeup dark colors, and dark-skinned and dark-skinned people - into light ones. An example of this is the change in image of Kim Kardashian: socialite With brown eyes and with natural black hair she turned into a blonde. The same applies to Rihanna, who, despite her chocolate skin, is not afraid to experiment with cool shades.
