What is Smokey Hair Color? [transform your hair]
There are many many color techniques out there in the world of fashion. But what is smokey hair color?
With time it is taking more strength but still, there isn’t much information about it. In addition, sometimes it is confusing to be able to distinguish the different applications.
Smokey hair color is a new trend with a very natural and faded look. It is based on the idea of the smokey eye in makeup. Where its main characteristic is to have 3 different shades of color but be blurred between each one. The colors used in smokey hair should be very similar but change from dark to light and the reflection should be the same. For example, honey with honey, copper with copper, etc.
However, it has very clear differences from other techniques. Smokey hair will stand out and also is where you can get the best advantages.
Here in this article, I will tell you how to identify it and why it may be an option for you this year.
What does Smokey Hair look like?
The Smokey Eyes makeup technique is the base for the Smokey Hair Color trend.
It has 3 steps:
- Dark shadows are found on the edges of the eye.
- In the middle are neutral and medium-intensity tones which help to connect and give harmony in the transition of the 3 tones.
- Lastly, the light in the ends illuminates close to the tear.
All this applies equally to the hair, in this technique.
- Firstly, we will have the area of the roots with the deepest and darkest shadow color.
- Secondly, that darkness needs to be blurred towards the middle, where it will be mixed and combined to meet the transitional medium tone.
- Finally, in the end, we will find the area of light. To achieve a natural and refreshed appearance.
Here I share some examples to look at…
#1 Smokey Brown To Honey
#2 SOFT pink smokey
#3 Blonde Smokey
What is the difference between smokey hair color and Balayage?
- Balayage has light locks of hair mixed freely in the roots and middle area. Unlike the smoky hair color which is designed to remain without texture.
- In the middle zone is used medium tones, and only the ends are lightened because the effect is made in horizontal sections.
- Balayage has a color palette with strong contrast, and for this reason, the lights can easily stand out like little stripes.
- The Smoky Hair Color handles shades of cold reflection and subtle differences between the 3 colors used.
- Also in Smokey Hair, the sections are clearly delimited horizontally.
