Do you dream of changing your mind and more and more thinking about indulging in a rather radical hair change – the problem? You have a hard time making up your own mind in the face of all the possibilities available to you … As for color, you no longer need to hesitate: why limit yourself to just one when you can adopt two at the same time? Here, we tell you about a trend that has everything to please you …
You have certainly not missed out, in recent weeks, the fashion for two-tone hair has come back to the fore, especially in a version that is much easier to wear … In this article, we share all the secrets of hair with you two-tone in all its forms – get inspired!
How do you recognize two-tone hair?
There are many techniques that aim to color hair in multiple shades that intermingle … However, even when only two colors are used – such as when making a tie and dye for example – we do not necessarily speak of two-tone hair. This is because – most of the time, with classic hair coloring – the goal is for the shades to blend as well as possible. However, to characterize a two-tone hair, it is really necessary that the demarcation between the two colors is truly distinct and marked. So forget about the discreet rendering and the refined transition, hair can only be qualified as two-tone if the contrast between the different colors that compose it is all that is most pronounced!
Two-tone hair – different possibilities
Adopting the trend for two-tone hair means being able to fall for different styles, different colors, different looks – more or less crazy, but always colored.
While some choose to dress the right and left side of their head in two different colors, others choose to color the top and bottom of their hair differently. For a less "drastic" result, others still choose to focus on just a few strands – like those framing the face, for example.
You will understand, with the two-tone hair trend, there are many variations, not to mention that the colors can also be infinitely declined! White and black, pink and purple, green and blue… Why not even combine warm and cold shades? In fact, there aren't really any rules, the important thing is to choose two colors that match well together.
Be careful not to end up with two shades that are too similar, otherwise the result will look more like a color that would have gone wrong than a beautiful assumed two-tone hair!
Make the decision to wear two-tone hair
Do you have a preference for how to wear two-tone hair and already have an idea of the two colors you would like to combine on your head? It's a very good start, but don't take the leap without thinking and really take the time to think it over … We were telling you, this is a hair change for the less radical and extravagant, it you must be sure to assume it 100%!
Of course, in order to obtain a more discreet result, you can always keep one of the two colors your natural shade and play on the other to mark the contrast. Know that the change will still be present.
Once the two-tone hair is adopted, vary the looks: smooth version or wavy, hair loose or tied up, all you have to do is highlight as much as possible these new and beautiful colors in your hair!
How to switch to two-tone hair?
As the demarcation between the two colors is particularly marked and distinct, the process of switching to two-tone coloring requires extreme care. If you plan to use permanent coloring products, or if fading is on you (in case your base color is dark or you want to opt for colors flashy or pastels, for example), then we strongly recommend that you make an appointment with the hairdresser. Only he will know how to give you a result that meets your expectations.
In addition, know that depending on your skin tone, not all shades will suit you the same: warm, cold, both? Who better than a hairstylist to advise you on the color combination in your hair?
Note that you can still do the test at home, avoiding bleaching and using temporary colorings, but the result will necessarily be much less eloquent.
The maintenance of two-tone hair
Warning: do not fall for this type of hair color if you don't usually spend a lot of time maintaining your hair and it suits you perfectly.
Already, if you have resorted to permanent coloring, or worse, discoloration, you will necessarily have to take more care of your hair fiber. Upstream, first, so that the change process goes as smoothly as possible and that the result is worthy of the name, but also afterwards, to preserve the result as long as possible and maintain the quality of the hair. Also, you will need to use products designed for colored hair and since you have two different colors, be careful to choose them according to each of them.
