Add some personality to your men's hair with hair color! Introducing popular hair colors from classic to trendy.

Hair color is perfect for changing the atmosphere and impression. Some say that men wear black hair, but hair color is an essential element for men who want to enjoy fashion in any age. In this issue, under the theme of “hair colors that suit men,” we will introduce hairstyles that incorporate popular hair colors, from the standard to the trendy.

What is ” tone ” to know if you want to color your hair?

Tone refers to the lightness of color. The higher the tone, the brighter the color, and even if the color is the same, just one or two tones can make a big difference in the impression. The tones range from 1 to 20, with tones 4 to 16 generally used for hair coloring. 4 to 5 tones are for black hair, while tones 15 and above are for transparent shades that require bleaching. It is also important to note that different colors give different impressions when choosing a color.

What are the impressions of different hair color colors & how to choose one?

This section divides shades into cold and warm tones, and explains how the impression is changed by the difference in tone.

” brighter, colder colors.”

Cold colors include blue and green, and ash, matte, and glaze are commonly used in hair coloring. As the word “cold” suggests, cold colors are characterized by dullness and transparency. The key point is that such higher tones of cold colors are highly transparent and give a strong cool impression. It is important to remove the yellowish tint when bleaching the brighter cold colors, so you can enjoy beautiful coloring by mixing the counterpart color purple when coloring your hair or using Murasaki shampoo or Blue shampoo on a regular basis.

“Lighter warm colors.”

The opposite of cold colors, warm colors are warm shades of red, pink, orange, and many brown colors are used for hair coloring. Such warm colors give a friendly impression and have the advantage of good color development and color retention. Another reason for their popularity is that they blend easily with Japanese skin tones. Because colors can be brightened without bleaching, they are effective for people who do not want to damage their hair but want to give their hair a fresh new look.

“Darker, colder colors.”

Darker, colder colors such as blue-black and black ash are all close to black and tend to give a subdued impression. They are also useful for those who want a casual makeover or for those who want to enjoy their hair color despite the strict rules of their school or workplace. If your natural hair is lightly pigmented or tends to turn brownish, a darker, calmer, colder color will give you a more mature look.

“Darker warmer colors.”

Dark warm colors go well with Japanese hair and skin tones and are easy to match for many people. The secret to their popularity is that they allow for a casual makeover and can be worn for any occasion and with any outfit. Compared to brighter or colder hair colors, it is not difficult to maintain the color, making it suitable for people who have never tried hair coloring or for those who have trouble taking care of their hair.

Should I bleach my hair if I want to color it? What are the advantages and disadvantages of bleaching?

Bleaching removes pigment from the hair, so it is better to bleach if you value good coloration. In particular, when dyeing cold colors such as blue and purple, the reddish pigmentation of the hair inhibits color development, so it is effective to bleach the hair one to three times to bring it closer to white. Naturally, however, bleaching is very damaging to the hair and scalp, so care must be taken. Depending on the degree of damaged hair, perms may not be possible, and if the skin is sensitive, bleaching may cause a skin rash. In addition, hair that is dry due to damage tends to look unclean, and care is essential, such as using treatments and hair oil on a regular basis, so it is not suitable for those who tend to take care of their hair in a monotonous manner.

What should I consider when ordering hair color?

When ordering hair color, it is important to communicate your wishes to the stylist. If there is a desired color, let them know first, and then choose a tone according to whether you want it loud or calm. If you do not have a color scheme in mind, ask the stylist to show you a color chart that shows the different hair colors, and ask for advice as you make your decision. Since coloring can make a big difference to a person’s impression, try to be as specific as possible about what you want, rather than throwing it all in. Incidentally, the color tones that suit each person’s hair, skin, and eye color will differ, so it is recommended that you consult with a professional about this as well.
