Gradient Types
The hair gradient is a coloring thatdoes not limit you in imagination and the manifestation of their individuality. Of course, the most common option is the effect of sun-baked ends.

Such coloring gives strands volume and dynamics, while the hairstyle itself looks sexy and slightly sloppy.
Such hair coloring (gradient) can be doneon the hair of any shade, and blondes and brunettes can achieve the same spectacular and beautiful result. In addition to the gradient in natural shades, there is a fantasy gradient. The transition can be from deep copper to fiery red, from blue-black to sky blue or emerald, from dark gray to pale pink. But even the choice of extremely bright colors requires a competent approach. Colors should be in harmony with your natural colors, combined with skin tone and eye color.

This type also shows cool shades, but less bright. The gradient on hair from dark to light looks very impressive, for example, the transition from light brown roots to ash ends, a combination of dark chocolate and cold gold. For a fantasy gradient, an ashen rose, light blue or gray will do.
Girls with a warm type of appearance are also divided intocontrast and non-contrast type. The former have hair with a gold or copper hue, bright freckles, green or brown eyes. Their gradient should be made in warm shades - the same effect of sun-bleached hair. For bright staining, the transition from deep copper to bright red and fiery is suitable, and turquoise tips will look spectacular.
