hair paint for men has become increasingly popular, thanks to options like Madison Reed Mr and Colorsmith by eSalon. These at-home options make it easier for men to experiment with their looks.
Tips for Application
Before applying for a whole head dye job, performing a small test swatch on your eyebrows and cheek is recommended. This will help you determine if the color looks natural and avoid unpleasant surprises.
Blue-Purple Root Melt
Description
This striking color melt, created by Paige Brubeck from Roots Salon in Atlanta, Georgia, features blue and purple tones that blend harmoniously. The look is achieved by bleaching the client’s roots and using specific hair coloring products. It is recommended for guys with cooler skin tones who want something unique.
Styling Suggestions
This blue and purple ombre can be worn with loose curls or styled with a voluminous half-braid for a mermaid-like vibe. The deep base color fades into a sapphire blue mid-lengths before ending in vibrant orchid purple at the ends.
Cautions
When coloring your hair at home, it is essential to consult a professional familiar with hair paint and high-pigmented fantasy colors. Attempting to match purple and blue ombre at home could result in an unwanted muddy brown tone, so proceed cautiously.
Platinum Blonde with Waves
The platinum blonde look is an eye-catching way to add movement and texture to your locks. The platinum shade stands out against your natural beauty and enhances it. The color has a touch of ash to temper its intensity and make hair feel soft and manageable.
Recommended Hairstyle
A high fade slicked-back haircut pairs perfectly with platinum blonde locks. This famous men’s hairstyle allows the medium-length locks to showcase dark roots against light blonde highlights, contrasting darkness and light blonde hues. Adding a Marcel wave gives a vintage-inspired touch.
Dark Brown with Caramel Tones
Caramel is a rich hue that pairs beautifully with dark hair. It provides depth and contrast, making it an eye-catching choice for redheads. Gingerbread caramel color can enhance the whole mane or add subtle highlights with balayage or baby lights.
Styling Suggestions
Lighter caramel balayage highlights are ideal for those wanting subtler changes to their locks. They work particularly well with chocolate brown hair, creating a rich depth effect. Loose waves or curls help to show off this stunning shade.
Copper with Shaggy Layers
The vibrant copper hue suits all hair textures but is especially effective for curly or wavy locks. It brings out the natural texture of each curl and complements warm skin tones.
Variations
If a less intense look is preferred, burgundy can be used to achieve a luxurious and refined appearance. This dark reddish-brown shade flatters all complexions and can be styled in various ways, including pairing it with blonde balayage or adding streaks of burgundy.
Recommended Haircut
For a more superficial but textured appearance, the shag cut style is recommended. This cut combines soft, wispy layers that frame your face with caramel-hued highlights, creating an exquisitely feminine look.
