A paint box is able to answer questions about how safe it is and what color it will end up with. But not all girls are well versed in these issues. Special attention is required cipher denoting the characteristics of the paint.

It includes:

1. the first number is the saturation of a dark or light shade;

2. the second number is the designation of the primary color;

3. the third and fourth digit - designation of an additional shade.

Thus, the two fours in the code indicate that you will end up with a chestnut color with a copper tint, and 4 and 5 will give a chestnut with a reddish tint. The third and fourth digits will indicate the intensity of the coloring pigment, cold or warm tone.

The problem is that each manufacturer of hair dyes has its own gradation. Not everyone adheres to the standard international scale of tones, so mistakes are made when choosing. On the package also the shade is not always displayed reliably.

If you want to make an accurate choice, then study in detail the scale provided by a specific manufacturer of paints. It is better to check it in print or on a high-quality screen so that there are no visual distortions. Some firms even use alphabetic or mixed symbols, for example, Colorissimo or Palette. This makes it difficult to choose, but if you pay attention to the study of information from the manufacturer, it will be possible to choose the right hair dye.
