Balayazh - a universal method of coloring. To give a noble color to the hair master uses two options - a natural transition or a bright contrast. The choice depends on the shade of hair and personal preferences.

At the peak of popularity sparing highlighting in the technique of shatush. Its difference is that the master “blends” the color along the entire length of the hair, creating a smooth transition from dark shades at the roots to bright tips. Curls are obtained volumetric and with natural overflows, and their updating will be required only after 3 months. Paint is applied to certain areas, therefore hair does not suffer and does not require constant tinting.

Can I perform the procedure myself?

Not all types of gentle highlighting can be performed independently. The technique of performing some of them is quite complicated, and it takes 3-4 hours to dye. Of all the options presented Shatush is considered to be the most simple and not expensive (in money and time). This procedure does not require additional equipment (cap or foil).

First you need to choose the shade of paint, and then prepare the workplace. For highlighting, a brush, hairpins, a container for dye and protection on the neck and shoulders are necessary. Immediately after the procedure, a shine conditioner must be applied to the strands.

Highlighting blond hair with dark strands involves creating a transition (smooth or sharp) from blond to brown or black. Reverse highlighting has many advantages, the main of which is a sparing effect. First, when it is executed, the curls are not lightened, but darkened. Secondly, this technology involves the use of ammonia-free compounds that do not penetrate deep into the rod, and envelop it with a film.

On a note! As a rule, staining with dark strands is done in order to dilute the uniform highlighting of light curls. However, it can act as an independent technology.

BOOKING

Brondirovaniye - another popular and fashionable way of painting, in which the bright head of hair shaded colors in warm and cool colors. As a result, we get an incredibly beautiful combination of a gentle blond and brighter notes. Booking can be divided into 2 types:

• The classic dark, which uses dark blond, chocolate, coffee and copper-chestnut palette,

Highlighting with the use of red strands is perfect for those who want to make the image interesting and playful. Dark or light red locks, scattered around the blond hair, look simply luxurious and allow you to immediately stand out from the crowd.

Tip! To get the most natural look, choose pale-red shades for painting - they will be closer to the blond.

This highlighting is reminiscent of the effect of hair that has itself burned out in the sun. This technique is very popular with young girls and adult mature women. In this case, the palette can combine several stylish tones - pearl, platinum, beige, light brown and others. The painting itself is carried out both small and large strands. Naturally, the second option looks more natural.

SALT AND PEPPER

This trendy technique, combining platinum and black or ashy colors, can be performed not only on dark, but also on light curls. Appearing about 4 years ago, she became incredibly popular. “Salt and pepper” allows you to create a unique image, hide the first gray hair and make a bright accent to the long-tired look. Highlighting is carried out exclusively by thin strands that provide a smooth and almost imperceptible transition from one shade to another.

SPREADING AT THE SAMPLE

With this type of highlighting, the hair is first divided into a straight parting, and then the curls are symmetrically chosen for bleaching. The width and number of these strands is determined in any order - they can be thin and frequent or wide and rare. After that, under the painted curls put thermal paper soaked blondonoranom. The result of this staining are soft play, which perfectly highlight the beauty and tenderness of blond hair. And also basal highlighting increases the volume of hair.

FRENCH

French highlighting is an ideal method for bleached and light brown hair. This technique involves the partial bleaching of individual curls, which allows to achieve the effect of burnt out hair. The French coloring can be called sparing, for it does not require radical lightening compounds. Masters advise to give preference to soft, ammonia-free dyes, which do not harm the structure of women's hair, but on the contrary - nourish them, moisturize and give beautiful shine. To date, there are several options for highlighting in French, but coloring in pastel shades, which take from 3 to 5 tones, is in particular demand.

On a note! The more shades will be used, the more interesting the result will be. But the price of such a blurry play will be much higher.

The classic ombre variation is a subtle glare scattered throughout the head of hair. If the work is performed by an experienced master, the effect will turn out to be incredibly beautiful. It seems as if you have just returned from a holiday, during which the sun and sea water worked on your hairdo.

When sombre allowed a slight darkening of the roots, but the transition from the root zone to the tips should be almost imperceptible. Such highlighting can be done both in blond and very light strands - the effect of the game of color is preserved in either case.

ZONAL OR PARTIAL

Zone highlighting involves the selection of individual upper strands (for example, at the face, near the roots or at the tips). This gentle method of coloring is ideal for owners of short haircuts, as well as those who are not ready for a sharp change of image and do not plan to use coloring tools on an ongoing basis.

Owners of light or fair-haired hair can safely apply brandy, platinum, chocolate, amber, sand, wheat or pearl tone. For lovers of bold experiments, we advise to focus on burgundy, blue, red, purple hues. Since the coloring composition is shaded with a brush, the result is soft and rather harmonious.

Partial highlighting is performed with rather wide strands, so the hair should be rather thick. For him use a special paint from Matrix, Estel or LOreal, which include natural wax. Such dyes not only do not harm the health of the hair, but also give a stylish shine.

Appearing quite recently (in 2015), ashy highlighting on white curls immediately gained immense popularity among young girls and more mature women. The first steel shades give some mystery, the second - solidity and style. This is the perfect choice for blond hair, because unlike dark or light brown hair, they can get a perfectly pure color.

Ash highlighting can be performed both on individual curls and along the entire length of the strands. In the latter case, the gradient is performed - a special stretch of color with darkened roots and clarified tips.

Important! Ash shades are considered one of the most capricious, therefore it is better to entrust such coloring to professionals. Do not try to repeat the procedure at home - it does not always guarantee the achievement of the expected result. It should also be noted that with each shampooing the color will become increasingly paler, so correction of such highlighting will have to be carried out more often.

AMBER, MILAN OR VENETIAN

The technology of such coloring is perfect for light brown and blond hair. Venetian highlighting, performed in two colors, provides the effect of slightly faded strands. The coloring composition is applied with fast irregular movements from the tips to the middle, and then carefully shaded with a hard brush - it turns out beautifully and as natural as possible. As for shades, fair-haired girls should take a closer look at amber, golden, cognac, beige, caramel, sandy and milky chocolate. But blondes ideal cold highlights with the participation of platinum and pearl color. The most advanced women of fashion may use a bolder palette - lemon, blue, purple or lilac.

MAJIKONTRAST

Major contrast is a highlight that combines light and dark shades. To achieve the most accurate selection of each strand, which provides this fashionable hairdressing solution, it is necessary to use a sufficiently strong oxidant and a very dark paint.

Tip! With such highlighting you need to contact an experienced and proven masters. Only in this case, you can expect to get a beautiful result.

The main advantage of highlighting with feathers is a simple technique of execution, thanks to which it can be easily done at home.

Important! Painted blondes, who decided to make chocolate tint, need to be as careful as possible. To make an image as harmonious as possible, the native color of your hair should even remotely resemble chocolate.

Ombre or Degrade

Hombre, degradation or highlighting with regrown roots - this is the name given to this fashionable and incredibly stylish technique. For staining can be applied from one to four tones. Both natural and contrast gamma are allowed. The border of the ombre can be smooth and very blurred, and can be very clear and as visible as possible. The beginning of the transition depends on the length of the hair. So, in the case of a square, it starts at the chin, and with long hair - only at the very ends.

It should also be noted that especially beautifully crazy color looks on long styles with curls and a cascade.

This technique is incredibly easy and carefully feathered transition. Coloring is performed with the participation of 3-4 shades belonging to the same color palette, but contrasting with the tone of the hair.

BRAZILIAN

Brazilian highlights are a great way to give light curls a more dramatic look. To obtain such a result, the master selects individual strands and paints them in different tones. If you do not want to dye the entire head of hair, select only a few front curls. When hair dries, these paints are mixed together, providing multi-colored play.

Partial highlighting

One of the most popular versions at the moment - partial highlighting. Hair, so colored, look as natural as possible, and the girl does not lose its natural look. If you look through glossy magazines, you will notice how many stars come with a similar color.

This procedure is to highlight the strands just a couple of tones. It may well be a preparatory stage for a more serious change of image, as well as an independent option.

partial highlighting allowed for allergies, because it is not applied to the skin

The key feature of such highlighting is that 40–60% of hair is dyed. In this case, the remaining percentage of strands will be in natural color. In addition, the procedure has another undeniable advantage. It is great for people with dermatitis or allergies. The fact is that such a reaction occurs when the head comes into contact with the paint, and highlighting does not imply it, since the preparation does not touch the hair roots.

Partial highlighting has one interesting variation that far from everybody knows about. It has a very intriguing name: “salt and pepper”. In this case, individual strands are not just brightened, but painted in ashy tones. This procedure is suitable for women after forty, who begin to notice the first manifestations of gray hair. Without full coloring the woman can quite mask gray hairs and return to itself a fresh and young look.

Coloring

So, one of the types of highlighting is coloring. A professional hairdresser can use many shades of paint (but not less than two). A good master will take into account the peculiarities of natural color and select the best options for additional tones in order to achieve harmony. The technology is as follows: hair is divided into strands and each of them give a certain color. Transitions should look natural. As a result, the hair gets more "rich" look. Allowed to use up to 10-15 shades, and this is real art. Owners of thin hair coloring especially transforms. Strands can be combed on one, then on the other side and thereby change the color.

Thus, the natural shade of hair is wonderfully enlivened. Hairstyle will no longer look flat - it will gain visual volume. It should be noted that the full coloring causes the hair more harm than coloring. Owners of dark hair will have to brighten the individual strands. Otherwise, the effect will not be achieved. Brunette is very refreshing such a contrast “blotches” in the hair: it visually rejuvenates the face. If the hair is light enough, then such radical measures (clarification) are not even needed. You can entrust the matter only to a qualified specialist who has the necessary experience and artistic taste.

The paint application technique can be longitudinal or transverse. In the first case, each selected strand is painted from beginning to end in one color. In the second process is complicated, because you have to make a color transition from the bright ends to darker hair roots. This technique is quite complicated, but the results of staining are stored for a longer time due to the lack of sharp boundaries between tones. Here the level of professional skill of the colourist plays an important role. With his work he can create a true work of art.

What is "balayazh"

This is a modern gentle hair coloring technique. The result looks best on short haircuts - graded or cascading, because only the tips of the individual strands are colored. "Balayazh" is intended to emphasize the line of hair. To carry out this procedure with long hair does not make sense. Usually used 2-3 colors. After the staining procedure, enough time passes before it is needed again (as a rule, it takes several weeks or even months). In general, the well-groomed appearance of the hair will be provided for a long time.

The wizard chooses the strands in such a way that they are square at the base: it is easier to organize them. Technique using a brush - the most common option for applying paint. You can apply and "packaging" foil. Sometimes the client does a bouffant to lift the ends of the hair and dye them easily. The selection of shades takes into account the natural color type.

American highlights

The bottom line is to dye hair strands in two or more colors. Initially, the masters used only different shades of red for this purpose:

• directly red itself,
• copper,
• Orange,
• redhead
• burgundy,
• brown.

However, it is not at all necessary in American melirovanie hair will look so bright and contrast. Sometimes this type of dyeing is done in soft colors and helps to create highlights on the hair with various shades of light yellow. The main thing is that the girl's hairstyle after the procedure should help refresh the image.

Why use exactly 2-5 colors? The fact is that such a number of shades helps to make the hair visually more luxuriant and voluminous, and the hairstyle as a whole - lively and mobile.

Now hairdressers divide the subspecies of American highlighting into three main groups:

1. Traditional red coloring.
2. Procedure using dark or light tones.
3. Coloring "crazy colors" using the most vivid and unusual shades.

Radical highlighting

Radical highlighting, as it is clear from its name, is timely coloring of the hair roots. During the procedure, the specialist applies the dye exclusively to the regrown roots of previously brightened or tinted hair, while all the others remain intact and are not exposed to chemical exposure.

before after

It is difficult to say how often you need to resort to such staining, since the hair of everyone grows at an individual pace. On average, owners of dark hair will have to visit the master every 12-16 weeks. Girls with blond hair can do it even less often. In terms of frequency of procedures, your best advisor is only a mirror. However, it is important not to run the roots too hard, so that you do not have to repaint the entire length of the hair.

Highlighting shatush

This is another variation of gentle hair lightening. It implies a very soft and smooth, "watercolor" transition from dark roots to light ends.
