Bleach hair platinum blonde
If a blonde color is a good idea to soften the features of your forties face, not all shades of light blonde are able to highlight you. Platinum blond in particular is not the one to favor because it is important that the shade of blond chosen remains as natural as possible so that it truly has this rejuvenating effect. Forget platinum, the shade of which immediately betrays the use of discoloration and instead go for a hair color that’s no more than one to two shades lighter than your base so that it flatters your skin tone and doesn’t clash too drastically with your brow and root color in regrowth.
Choose a uniform color
It’s the worst mistake to make sincea uniform color will not look natural at all and will therefore tend to give you 10 years more than 10 years less. It is imperative to bring nuance in the coloring so that it is flattering. Infuse some reflections in your color, whatever it is, in order to give a more modern and dynamic air to your hairstyle. Bet without hesitation on caramel, golden or copper reflections which give a healthy glow and remain subtle, but avoid mahogany shades which do not exist naturally.

Neglect partial stains
It’s not just the colors affixed from the roots to the tips that are able to enhance you, far from it. The techniques of scanningwhether they are used to hide some white hair like a blond sweep or whether they sublimate gray hair like the gray blending which mixes several shades of gray with white hair, are also interesting options. In addition to being very pretty, they are also easier to maintain and avoid the neglected effect that the new roots can take at the quarantine.
Do not take into account his white hair
If you spot a few graying strands in your hair, it is important to choose the type of coloring you are going to achieve according to the proportion of white hair in your hair. Not all hair colors cover gray hair equally well. If you only have between 20% and 50% white hair, a tone-on-tone color may be more than enough to cover them transparently, but if you have more, a classic color is necessary to hide them. Ditto for the vegetable coloring. If it is as covering as a classic when you have less than 30% white hair, it will often take several applications to obtain the same coverage with more than 30% white hair.

Get a very dark color
All dark colors like black brown or raven black, tend to harden features and emphasize wrinkles. These shades also darken the entire complexion. They are therefore not the appropriate shades of brown when you want to make people forget that you are over 40. Better, at most, to fall for a chocolate brown whose greedy nuances are imprinted with sweetness and will not have these disadvantages.
