What is Ash Hair Colour 

Ash colour is a tone that gives different colours a cool ash finish. The color is usually combined with blue or slightly green pigments. The overall colour appearance has a sleek silvery or smokey finish and is slightly matte. Instead of being “vibrant” or “bold,” they have a smooth, cool tone, velvety finish.

Benefits of Ash Hair Colour

Ash hair colour is a cool-toned colour that balances out unwanted warmth that is common in Asian hair tones, which are warm yellow or orange which can be often seen when the hair is lightened or bleached. 

Due to the natural contributing pigment in our hair, warm brassy pigments are always revealed during lightening. Brassy pigments have the largest molecule size of any pigment and are the last to be lifted out of the hair during any lightening process. This is why brassiness is usually noticeable when you lighten your colour. Ash will tone correct your hair as you colour it, infusing it with muted cool tones and removes warm tones in your hair. 

Will Ash Brown Suit You? 

Ash brown hair is adaptable enough to different skin tones and shades. An ash brown hair colour will work to balance and neutralize pink or red areas of the skin when paired with cooler skin tones, which typically have pinkish undertones.

However, this does not imply that this shade will drain warmer skintones. Start with a classic brunette brown base and smoke out your shade with an ash brown balayage or ash highlights for a more subtle take on the trend on warm skin tones.
