Is “cinnamon” a red or brown hair color?
The color “cinnamon” refers to a range of copper and golden shades.
It can be a deep red color with copper tints, or a light wheat-honey shade on chestnut and light brown hair. As a rule, the result of dyeing depends on the original color (dyed or natural) of the strands. An intense red shade can be achieved by dyeing dark brown and light brown hair. A noble brown, close to chocolate (with bright copper tints), will be obtained if the original hair color is chestnut or light black.
Lipstick shades for hot brunettes
Dark hair looks very impressive in combination with bright makeup. Red and plum shades of lipstick suit all brunettes without exception. Those with porcelain skin and black hair should definitely “try on” bright pink and rich scarlet shades with a cold tint. Brunettes with dark skin are best suited to brick red or dark brown shades of lipstick. Dark brown-haired women with bronze hair can experiment with the color of lip cosmetics. The only condition is brightness.
Who is suitable for cinnamon coloring?
Hair dye is selected depending on your skin tone and appearance color type. The color “cinnamon” is a warm, sunny shade that is not suitable for every girl.
Summer and autumn color types of appearance will be ideally combined with cinnamon-colored hair. Light brown and gray-blue eyes will be emphasized by a bright and juicy, rich tone of “cinnamon” with notes of honey. For those with dark skin, a shade close to chocolate will suit them. The tenderness of beige skin and the depth of bright green eyes will be emphasized by cinnamon hair color.
Who does this shade suit, besides brown-eyed dark-skinned women? Stylists recommend that girls of spring and winter color types be wary of warm hair shades. White-skinned beauties with blue and light green eyes can use light tones of cinnamon for coloring.
For black-eyed girls with marbled white and beige skin, coloring in a deep brown shade with a bright honey tint is suitable. However, it is worth considering that before changing your natural black hair color, lightening by 1-2 tones is required. Otherwise, the paint may go on unevenly or not at all.
What lipstick color makes teeth visually whiter?
We have compiled a visual color chart to make it easier to select the tone of a cosmetic product that will make your teeth whiter and your smile radiant.
Red lipstick
Tip: choose a red tone with a blue undertone. Avoid orange bases.
The rich scarlet tone suits girls of different color types, successfully emphasizing the skin tone. This is probably why this lipstick tone is considered an unsurpassed classic, which also works effectively as a “whitening agent.” Red with a blue tint visually makes teeth whiter, while the orange shade of scarlet, on the contrary, enhances the effect of yellowness.
This coloristic intricacy can be easily explained. On the color wheel diagram, blue and orange are opposite each other. This leads to the fact that the blue shade acts as a neutralizer of yellowness, while the orange emphasizes and enhances the warmth of the “sunny” tone.
Light pink lipstick
Tip: choose pink lipstick with cool undertones. Avoid coral and orange bases.
Choosing the right color of pink lipstick is even more difficult than choosing the “perfect red”, since such a delicate color does not have a dark pigment that can contrast the tone of the teeth, visually making them whiter. Therefore, when buying pink lipstick, follow the same rules as when choosing scarlet lipstick: feel free to say “no” to orange bases, giving preference to bright berry shades.
Dark pink lipstick
Advice: if you are in doubt about a pink shade, give preference to safe berry tones.
Since berry colors usually have a bluish and purple base, they are great for highlighting the whiteness of teeth. True, it is better to give preference not to matte lipsticks, which have a velvet finish, but to glossy products, which are also an excellent way to create a radiant smile.
Dark lipstick
Tip: when buying dark shades of lipstick, choose a product without a brown undertone.
Despite the fact that intensely dark shades of lipsticks in the style of the 90s, which often have a brownish base, have returned to fashion, makeup artists still recommend abandoning such a color palette in order to avoid giving a yellow tint to the teeth.
Brown emphasizes the dark tone of tooth enamel, thereby giving a radiant smile an unnatural yellow color.
Nude lipsticks
Tip: when choosing a nude lipstick, give preference to a translucent product with a slight gloss effect.
To create a natural “no makeup” makeup, it is recommended to use nude lipstick, when choosing which you need to pay attention to the color and texture of the product. It is best to avoid matte peach-colored lipstick, which will make your teeth yellow. Instead, use a translucent cosmetic product whose color matches your natural lip shade.
Color traps
Despite the fact that original bright shades of lipsticks are now in trend, when choosing a cosmetic product, remember several color traps that are best avoided so as not to make your teeth more yellow.
- Frosty shimmer. Yes, a light gloss does a great job of creating a radiant smile. However, too much glitter and shimmer can create the opposite of what you want, making your teeth look too dull.
- Orange. With this color, in principle, everything is clear. Any sunny shades emphasize yellowness.
- Neon. Bright shades of fuchsia lipstick also tend to dull the tone of your teeth.
Recommendations
- Masks can be used 2 times a week (all except the mask with the addition of soda), the more often the procedures are done, the faster you will achieve results.
- To enhance the effect, you can wrap some strands in foil.
- Do not use castor oil or burdock oil, they can spoil the effect of the spice. Olive or almond oils are most suitable for masks.
- To dye your hair better with cinnamon, take the spice with chopsticks and grind it into powder yourself, the effect will be stronger.
- The composition must be applied while it is warm.
- If the composition burns the scalp severely, then you need to wash it off, and next time add something softening - yolk or cosmetic oil. In addition, many people use vegetable oils to lighten their hair at home.
How to do lightening yourself
In order to dye your hair with cinnamon without leaving home, you must first wash it and dry it a little until damp. Then apply the finished coloring composition to the hair like regular hair dye. In this case, you should take into account the fact that such a coloring composition will actively color your skin, so you should try to get as little as possible on the skin, on which it is recommended to first apply the cream (to make it easier to remove the unnecessary tint on the skin). Next, first wrap your head in polyethylene, then with a terry towel and leave for 30 minutes. After half an hour, the polyethylene is removed, the head is wrapped in one towel and left for at least another 2.5 hours.
Immediately after application, a slight burning sensation on the skin may be felt, but normally it goes away quickly.
Important point! If the burning does not go away after a few minutes, but only intensifies, you should immediately wash off the coloring composition. This means that you have an individual intolerance to this natural remedy.
After a 3-hour period, the head is thoroughly washed, first with warm water, then with regular shampoo, after which either balm or hair conditioner is used. If you want your curls to shine with beauty even more, you need to first prepare a herbal decoction: chamomile, burdock, calendula, and rinse your hair with it after washing. To make the result last longer on colored hair, you can acidify the herbal broth a little: add either 1-2 tablespoons of lemon juice or 1 tablespoon of vinegar (preferably apple cider vinegar).
Which paint manufacturers offer the “cinnamon” paint color?
In almost every color palette you can find a shade of “cinnamon”. But for painting yourself, it is recommended to use high-quality paint. If you have experience using professional products, then “Vella”, “Estelle”, Syoss, “Chantal Variety”, “Kapus” are suitable for home coloring.

Recipe for henna dyeing with kefir to obtain a dark cinnamon shade
Kefir helps henna fully release its pigment, and the more acidic the drink, the brighter the finished shade should be. It is worth knowing that henna slightly dries out your hair, and kefir prevents it from drying out.
To dye hair below shoulder length you will need:
- kefir – 0.5 l;
- basma – 2 packs (50 g each);
- natural selected henna – 2 packs (50 g each);
- thick rubber gloves;
- deep plastic or glass bowl;
- comb with rare teeth;
- plastic bag or cling film.
Mix henna and basma in a bowl and pour kefir over it. Stir until the lumps are completely dissolved. If the mixture is too thick, you can add half a glass of warm water with a teaspoon of vinegar (9%) diluted in it. Set aside for 3-4 hours.
Before applying the coloring composition, hair should be washed with shampoo, without using conditioner, and dried naturally. Then put on gloves, part your hair and start coloring.
Pulling strand by strand, apply the composition to the roots, then distribute it along the entire length. Massage your head thoroughly and wrap it in cellophane, put a warm hat on top of it or wrap your head with a scarf (towel). Keep the mixture on your hair for 7 hours, then wash off the henna with water without using shampoo. Apply softening balm to clean hair and rinse again in water.
To prevent the skin from turning yellow, apply a rich baby cream to it.
How to care for colored hair
Cinnamon is a hair color that is not that difficult to achieve. Often, this does not require bleaching your hair, and sometimes just tinted dyes are enough. Some people also use natural dyes to achieve cinnamon-colored hair, but more on that later.
Even hair that is not too damaged needs special care after dyeing. For example, using products for the care of colored hair - shampoo and balm “Clover” from the “Clean Line” brand, based on a decoction of five herbs, with clover extract and phytokeratin complex. With regular use, these products help prolong the vibrancy of the color, provide additional shine and volume to the strands without weighing them down.
Always try to apply conditioner after shampooing your hair - just for a minute, but in those 60 seconds it helps close the cuticle scales and protect the hair. If you rinse your hair with cool water after this, the effect will be even better. Once or several times a week, you can use a mask between shampoo and conditioner. For example, the exposure time of the “Color Shine” mask from the “Clean Line” brand is only one minute.
During this time, a mask with plant extracts helps strengthen the hair and nourish it, adding softness and shine to the strands. If your curls are damaged, you can use the mask not several times a week, but on a regular basis instead of conditioner. This “intensive therapy” will allow you to restore your hair even faster.

Women whose skin is warm should try orange, coral and brown shades. Another good option for red-haired ladies is pinkish lipsticks in muted colors.

Cinnamon for hair
Cinnamon is an oriental spice with a delicious aroma. Using masks with this spice, it is possible to lighten your hair by 2-3 tones; cinnamon will change the color of your curls without spoiling them and restore their health and natural beauty .
Thanks to the fiber, iron and numerous minerals contained in the spice, the benefits for hair are enormous. They become strong and acquire a beautiful shine.

The catch in the description of cinnamon
So, you already know that cinnamon flowers are great, but they are not what the spice is made from. After all, if you rub them with your fingers, a not very pleasant aroma with a strong fragrance will appear. The tree trunks reach 15 m in height, with large leaves and colorful shades of berries and inflorescences.
There are ambiguous descriptions of cinnamon in different sources. What's the catch? Is the information unreliable, or can cinnamon easily be confused with its neighboring species? Of course not.
The whole truth is that there are different types of cinnamon. This means that, depending on the area of the tropical region in which the tree is cultivated, differences will be visible.
Recipes for masks with cinnamon for lightening
There are many ways to use cinnamon masks to lighten your hair. All masks can be easily prepared at home. Now we will look at the most popular of them.
Classic recipe: hair mask with cinnamon and honey
Required:
- balm or conditioner (200 ml);
- cinnamon powder (3 tbsp);
- honey (75 ml).
Heat the honey in a water bath and mix with the spice. Add balm and stir. Apply to strands and after time, rinse with water.
Important! The honey needs to be slightly heated; if the honey is hot, then all its properties will become useless.
With yolk and butter
Required:
- cinnamon (3 tbsp);
- honey (3 tbsp.);
- yolk (1 pc.);
- olive or coconut oil (1 tbsp);
- lemon juice (1 tbsp).
Heat the honey in a water bath and mix with the spice. In a separate bowl, beat the yolk with lemon juice. Combine the ingredients and add oil. Keep the mask on for an hour and then wash it off with shampoo.
With lemon juice
Required:
- cinnamon powder (3 tbsp);
- lemon juice (squeeze 1 lemon);
- honey (3 tbsp.).
Heat the honey in a water bath and mix with the spices, then add squeezed lemon juice. Apply the mixture and leave for 1-2 hours. Then rinse off.
With kefir
Required:
- cinnamon (3 tbsp);
- kefir (4 tbsp);
- honey (optional).
Heat the kefir in a water bath and add cinnamon powder. Apply to strands using a brush. Leave the mask on for 4 hours.
In addition, you can use kefir to lighten hair, as an independent folk remedy.
Important! Do not overheat kefir, otherwise it may turn into cottage cheese.
With soda
You will need:
- soda (1 tbsp);
- cinnamon (1/2 tbsp.);
- honey (1 tbsp.).
Heat honey in a water bath, add soda, spice and stir. Apply to strands and leave for 20-30 minutes, then rinse with warm water.
Important! If your hair is damaged and too dry, then it is better not to use a mask; baking soda is an abrasive agent and can cause harm.
Carrot
Why it’s not suitable: because it gives the face an unhealthy look, emphasizing the yellowness of the teeth and skin around the eyes (yes, in women over 40, the skin around the eyes suffers not only from cyanosis). In general, with orange lipsticks, adult women get a comical rather than stylish look.
Alternative: peach color is ideal for blondes and fair-haired women, dim coral color is ideal for brown-haired women and brunettes. Red-haired women may want to look for richer coral tones.
Important nuances: after 40 years, lipstick in peach and coral shades should have a matte, not glossy texture (otherwise you risk looking like a teenager). Volume and the effect of slightly damp lips can be added using a clear lip gloss applied to the middle of the upper and lower lips. A highlighter applied in a thin line above the upper and under the lower lip will help to enlarge your lips.
