Both renders are HairGlam output. In the app the shade lands on your photo instead.
Aqua is the shade most sensitive to what lies beneath it, because any yellow left in the base tips it straight to mint or lime. Get the base right and it reads almost backlit, particularly on ends where the hair is finest. Teal pigment splits as it fades: the blue portion holds while the green washes away, so it moves to pale seafoam and then a chalky gray-blue that many people choose to keep.
- Undertonecool. Cool skin at any depth works, and the shade is bright enough that it reads as contrast against the complexion rather than an extension of it.
- Starting pointA clean, toned level ten, otherwise the aqua lands green; on dark hair that means more than one bleach session with rest in between.
- UpkeepRefresh the green half of the mix every three or four weeks, since it drops out first and leaves the color looking flatter and bluer than intended.
Try it before the bleach
Color is the expensive mistake to get wrong. Put Electric Aqua against your own skin tone first.
