HAIR.
Adding the tone, light, medium or dark, to the blonde and chestnut terms gives the following scale which describes all the nuances:
- light blonde, medium blonde, dark blonde,
- light chestnut, medium chestnut, dark chestnut, black chestnut; the black qualifier is reserved for shades with bluish reflections (crow's wing).
The word brown, sometimes used, should be replaced here by dark chestnut or black chestnut.
- Red hair with a clear shade is qualified by the terms light red, medium red, dark red; when the roux is a mixture of blond or chestnut, it will be indicated taking care to highlight the dominant shade but without indicating the tone; example; red-haired or red-haired, red-haired or red-haired.
