Phoenix hair color:
What is it, where is it named from and how can we get it in our hair?
Read my today’s article and learn all about this fire color technique!
Name
Phoenix (from “phoenix” = purple, deep red) is a mythological bird that is reborn from its ashes.
According to Herodotus, it was the size of an eagle and had golden-red feathers.
Symbol
The phoenix is the symbol of man’s power to be reborn from his difficulties.
Indeed, the phoenix bird was revered in ancient Greece and was associated with the worship of the Sun and Apollo.
Beyond ancient Greece, the phoenix was a very sacred symbol for other cultures as well:
For example, we find it in Egyptian mythology, in Slavic and Persian mythology.
The phoenix is found in early Christianity, but also in the Hindu religion.
It is worth noting that its colors are always gold and red with purple notes.
In hairdressing
First of all, phoenix hair color is a three-dimensional color technique that gives us an amazing result.
How can we do it?
First of all, it would be good to do a light coloring on the hair to have a uniform canvas.
Then we will place a dark red-violet at the roots for 2-3 cm to give depth to the hair.
Then, we will place the red and then the bronze on the strand.
Finally, we will paint the edges with gold-brass color.
In this way we will achieve a colour gradient that will remind us of the flames of the fire.
Eventually, you will notice that the hair has gained movement, and will look lighter at the ends.
To make the effect more intense, we can cut the hair in a fillet by thinning the ends.
The secret to the phoenix hair color technique is the blending we have to do with the colors.
Indeed, it will really enhance the effect if one colour fades into the other.
In addition, another tip is the following: Don’t paint all the edges gold.
Mix gold and orange and pick some edges to colour with this shade.
So this way you will allow the golden trim to pop out even more and make their appearance noticeable!
I personally love phoenix hair color and I hope I convinced you to try it too!
I look forward to your results on my social media, on Facebook Yiannos Hair Styles and on Instagram @yiannos_mintilonitis.
