What is hair color for Japanese hair?
![]()
Hair stylists decide on hair color based on a chart like this, but coloring black hair of Asians does not produce this kind of color.
The reason is that the melanin pigment that makes up the color of black hair is originally contained in the hair. In Japan, the common coloring method is to bleach black hair while adding drug pigment. The coloring method depends on “how much melanin pigment is bleached ? ” The coloring process is based on “how much melanin pigment is bleached” and how the color looks.
After dyeing, the color will fade and turn yellow with time, because the pigment in the dye will flow out little by little, and the hair will be in a state where it has only been bleached. The impression will change over time.
3 points to determine hair color as a part of fashion coordination
The following three points should be considered when thinking about compatibility with fashion and dressing.
(1) Brightness (tone)
The lightness of Japanese people’s hair to begin with is 3 to 6 tones. Depending on the compatibility with the color of the skin, eyebrows, and eyes, a lightness too far from this requires a technique to match. For women, it is possible to adjust the variations in the clothes they wear, makeup, etc., so they can easily adapt to lighter tones and have a wide range of hair colors that look good on them.
(2) Color
They are called ash, matte, yellow, brown, and bordeaux, etc. Basically, you will not go wrong if you think about it in combination with your skin color.
(3) Texture
Hair texture, cut, perms, and styling products also have an influence, but in hair coloring, the key points are luster, dryness, and transparency.
Let’s take these into account and look at the hair color in terms of impressions and how it goes with what you’re wearing!
