What do the numbers on the packaging of hair dye mean?

I recently met a good friend and was amazed. What a beautiful and beautiful hair color! I know her well and she never dyees her hair in salons or uses stylists.

I wondered what the reason for this dramatic change was, and how she got her hair color that really suited her.





The decision to change the image and hair color sometimes becomes a real lottery!

It's not clear at all. How will your hair react? This or that paint, and the result can be the most unpredictable. In the choice of paint, each woman is guided by her own criteria. For one decisive factor is the fashion brand, for another - the price, for the third - a beautiful packaging or the presence of balm in the kit.





When it comes to choosing a color, we often focus on an attractive photo placed on the packaging or, at most, on the title.

The secret of my friend’s success is simple, but very effective. “He who owns information owns the world.”

It is worth paying attention to the small numbers that are placed next to the name of the shade. After all, these inconspicuous at first glance signs can say a lot about the result that we will eventually get using this paint.

Editorial "Site" I decided to come to the aid of all fashionistas and prepared a convenient cheat sheet for decoding.
