Although the list of options is extensive when it comes to colored rays, the dyes with golden reflections, present in different shades of blonde and brown, are timeless. No matter your skin color or hair type, the result will be contrast, dimension and movement.
What are the tints with golden reflections?
When choosing the hair color (or ask your colorist), check that the code on the packaging includes a .3 after the first number, as this symbolizes the golden reflection that shimmers in the light. For the result to be visible and flattering on black hair, we recommend making highlights in shades that start with the numbers 3, 4 and 5, up to 10. These numbers represent from dark brown (3), to the lightest blonde ( 10). That is, if you find a 5.3 code, it means that it is a light golden brown. If the second number followed by the period is also 3, it means that the golden reflection is even more intense, but you can also combine it with .1 (ash reflection), .4 (copper reflection) or .7 (warm brown reflection), for example. Some options for dyes with golden reflections are:
- 3.3: Dark golden brown.
- 4.3: golden chestnut.
- 5.53Appearance: Light golden mahogany brown.
- 6.3: Dark golden blonde.
- 7.13: Golden ash blonde.
- 8.34: Light golden coppery blonde.
- 9.3: Extra light golden blonde.
- 10.34: Coppery golden platinum blonde.
