Looking for a Subtle Hair Transformation? Consider Going 1 or 1b Darker

Are you tired of your current hair color but don't want a drastic change? Going 1 or 1b darker is a subtle yet effective way to refresh your look without committing to a major makeover. Here's why you should consider it:

Enhances Skin Tone: Darker hair can complement both warm and cool skin tones, making it a universally flattering option.

Adds Volume and Depth: Subtle changes in color can create the illusion of thicker, fuller hair.

Low Maintenance: Going 1 or 1b darker is less noticeable than lighter shades and requires less frequent touch-ups.

Choosing the Right Shade

The key to achieving a natural-looking 1 or 1b darker hair color is to choose the right shade. Consider your current hair color and skin tone when making your decision. 1b is a slightly darker shade than 1, with a hint of blue undertones. If you have cool skin tones, opt for 1b. For warm skin tones, 1 is a better choice.

Tips and Tricks

Use a semi-permanent or demi-permanent hair dye for a subtle change that will fade gradually.

Start with a darker shade than you think you want, as it will appear lighter after a few washes.

Condition your hair regularly to keep it healthy and prevent fading.

Avoid using heat styling tools on your hair, as they can damage the color.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Overdying your hair: This can lead to dry, damaged hair that is difficult to color correct.

Not using a toner: Toners help to eliminate unwanted brassy or red tones and ensure a natural-looking color.

Bleaching your hair before dyeing it darker: This can also lead to hair damage.
