Also consider the type of skin. Owners of fair skin should not choose too dark or very light colors, since the face will become pale against the background of the strands. Dark women are more suitable warm colors.

It is very difficult to perform self-staining, so it is better to trust the hands of a professional or ask a friend for help. The number of shades used to create a smooth transition depends on the length of the hair.

More often it is possible to make only 2-3 tones. When applying paint should avoid clear boundaries.
