How to beautifully dye dark hair

Send

It is difficult to find a woman who is 100% satisfied with the color of her hair. Owners of blond hair are often repainted in brunettes, and dark-haired girls tend to become blondes. But since lightening is commonly associated with bleaching harmful to hair, the dreams of many brunettes and brown-haired women remain unfulfilled.

To date, light-colored hair (photo you see in this article) is more gentle methods, and this hairstyle looks natural and natural. Consider modern technology in more detail.

Coloring blond hair: features, types

Today the following types of dyeing of light hair are popular:

Monochromatic coloring is a classic, which is still relevant. Coloring blond hair in one tone is suitable for women with any type and length of hair.
Traditional highlighting + toning - the main paint is matched to the bleached strands so that there is no transition between them.
Contrast highlighting - the selection of dark strands on blond hair.
Graphic strands - usually bright contrasting shades stand out separate strands, curl or bangs, which on the general background look very impressive.
American coloring - highlighting in 2-3 tones.

Modern techniques of dyeing blond hair

Obtaining the desired changes in appearance and at the same time remaining in trend is possible due to the use of modern techniques in the dyeing process. They do not imply a cardinal change of color, but rather are aimed at making the image natural, natural and bright at the same time.

Fashionable dyeing of blond hair is performed using such techniques:

Ombre - involves bleaching from the middle of the length to the tips of the curls, followed by toning. There are several types of this technique, but they are all based on making a smooth or abrupt transition between dark roots and light tips.
Balayazh - light brush sweeps the master master of paint in such a way as to achieve the most natural, natural transition to bright tips.
Bronding is a technique in which hair is colored by alternating 2-3 tones, while the roots are not affected. Thanks to this method it is easy to turn into a natural blonde.
Shatush is a type of coloring, in which to achieve the natural effect of burnt hair, light and dark dye alternate.

Highlighting and coloring

Highlighting and coloring - two techniques of dyeing that are equally well suited for blond hair, but the effect of their implementation looks different.

Highlighting is the process of clarifying individual curls. This technique involves the use of only one color and is performed using bleaching agents.

Coloring is a method of coloring in which a smooth transition between the strands is performed with the help of 2-3 shades. In this case, the master can work both with the entire volume of hair, and with individually selected curls. True professionals skillfully combine up to 20 shades at once, creating a unique effect on the hair.

The dyeing of blond hair is successfully performed using both the highlighting and coloring techniques. The task of highlighting is to create the effect of a long stay in the sun, coloring is a more complicated procedure. With this technique you can make the curls more lively, light and voluminous.

Robert Vetik about coloring

A good part of my career, I was not only a stylist, but also a colorist. I have not forgotten how I carried the hair dye with me along with the rest of the things necessary for work.

Remember Salma Hayek when she first appeared on the Hollywood scene? This I added beautiful warm tones to her luxurious Hispanic hair. What a job it was!

What about Winona Judd? Well, tell me what comes second to your mind when you mention her name? The first is, of course, her incredible voice, and we all know about it. And the second? Her amazing furious hair color.

When we first met her, I had to dye her hair. Imagine yourself for a minute in my place: you were invited to color Winona Judd! My dear, there is no one - I repeat, no one - with such a hair color. I had with me all the possible shades of red. I had a paint formula from her previous hairdresser.

If you want to improve the condition of your hair, special attention should be paid to shampoos that you use. A frightening figure - in 97% of shampoos of famous brands are substances that poison our body. The main components, due to which all the troubles, on the labels are designated as sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium laureth sulfate, coco sulfate. These chemicals destroy the structure of the hair, the hair becomes brittle, lose elasticity and strength, the color fades. But the worst thing is that this filth enters the liver, heart, lungs, accumulates in the organs and can cause cancer. We advise against using the means in which these substances are located. Recently, experts of our editorial staff conducted an analysis of sulfate-free shampoos, where the first place was taken by funds from the company Mulsan Cosmetic. The only manufacturer of all-natural cosmetics. All products are manufactured under strict quality control and certification systems. We recommend to visit the official online store mulsan.ru. If you doubt the naturalness of your cosmetics, check the expiration date, it should not exceed one year of storage.

I'm waiting for her, all on the nerves, and here enters Winona with the most beautiful little cake of those that I have ever seen. She gives me this work of art and quite sincerely hugs me. Yes, it was so. It happened many years ago. I painted Winona Judd, and to this day she remains my dear friend.

Everybody needs color

Once I was (not on paper) a distributor of a hair color company. I taught hair coloring classes, which were attended by thousands of hairdressers, those same masters who do everything.

The fact is that color is salvation. That he can give a highlight to your appearance. And it is easy. I will help you get rid of the fear of dyeing hair.

When I worked in the salon many years ago, I recommended hair coloring to everyone. Honestly. I am sure that even if you simply enhance the color of your hair, you will change dramatically.

For example, if you are a medium 8 level blonde, you can dye your hair with the color of 8g, that is, with a golden blond. And it will give your hair a warm shade and texture. He even slightly increase their volume, and in some cases, the hair will become more dense to the touch and more alive.

I live in Southern California and work in Hollywood, the country of eternal blonde. All blondes are here. But to achieve a beautiful blonde is not as easy as it may seem. And, as a rule, this is only possible for professionals. Here is my Blonde Rule number 1: if you want to get the best result, look for the best, go to a professional.

If you have limited means, look for courses in hairdressers nearby. Any courses need clients, and everywhere there is an experienced teacher who monitors the way students work. Although the pupil is applying paint, each of them is monitored by the master. Therefore, if it is difficult for you to dye your hair at the back of your head, or it is too long, or you just wanted to take care of you, become a voluntary model. Everybody wins. And then, no one knows, what if you meet a new “me”?

If you have any doubts about self-dyeing hair, please go to the salon.

But if you have an adventurous streak and / or you have deft hands, then this guide is for you. Yes, you can use store-bought paint to paint gray hair or to add light highlights.

Have you ever wondered why manufacturers recommend starting hair dye from the back of the head? This is because the head is heated unevenly, and the paint on the back of the head takes more time to act. When you reach the top of the head, in this place the head is hotter, and the paint acts faster.

How to choose your hair color

So, the most important thing: look at the color on the box. That you will not succeed. Why? Because the model has paint applied to pre-bleached hair!

If, for example, you look at a box of 8g paint - a warm medium blond - but you are also brown-haired, the paint from this box will never “take” your hair. Why? Because the paint 8g was applied to bleached hair!

If you want to get a shade of 8g, a warm medium blond, what do you think, what paint do you need? That's right: you should choose a paint that is much lighter, for example, 10g or even lighter. Dye 8g will either slightly brighten your hair (just one shade), but may not even make it.

If you want to turn chestnut hair color into a medium or light blond, I would, if I were you, go to the salon first and find out from your master what color is right for you. If a monthly visit to the salon is too expensive for you, tell me about it. Your master will advise you on which paint number to buy.

Black is 1, blond is 12, all other shades are in between. Usually the color scale looks like this:

12 The Blondetest Blonde
11 Very light blond
10 Light blond
9 Medium Blonde
8 Dark Blonde
7 Light red
6 average redhead
5 Dark red
4 Light brown
3 Medium Brown
2 Dark brown
1 black

Highlighting and semi-resistant paint

Let's hope that someday we will meet and talk about the color of your hair. But there is something else that we can discuss now. These are two tools that you really like.

The first tool I want to talk about is kits for coloring individual strands (sets for highlighting). These tools really work.

Several years ago, I participated in the promotional shooting of these funds. I didn’t pay too much attention to the concept, as I was too busy for all my clients to be satisfied. The trick is to read all the instructions. Read, read, and read again. All this is written for you, though, they did a great job. So pay attention to the details.

When dyeing individual strands of hair, it is very important to keep track of time. Follow the instructions, saturate the hair with paint. You do not want it to quickly disappear.

Do not wait too long to tint hair. The longer you wait, the more hair grows at the roots and the harder it is to achieve a uniform color from root to tip.

The second remedy is semi-resistant paint. In the past, I used it so many times, mainly to match the client's hair color to the color of the overhead. But for you they are good to tint hair between stains.

Assume that two weeks have passed after dyeing, and it has become noticeable that the roots have grown a little. This is unpleasant, and you are busy, but you have some important event to come, or you just don’t want to look at these roots (and don’t want others to see them).

Calmly Just find a semi-resistant paint of the same color as the one you painted.

hair. (They are all numbered the same way). These products are produced in the form of mousse, therefore, they are very easy to apply.

A semi-resistant dye lasts from two to six weeks, depending on the type of hair. On resistant gray hair, it lasts for about two weeks. And on the porous damaged hair can remain almost forever!

You can buy this paint in a specialized store. Usually among the staff there is a person who knows what he is talking about. If in doubt about the color or type of paint, ask.

There is no magic in dyeing hair. It is like baking a cake. You have a recipe, and you only need to follow it. All great specialists do that. It's simple: if you want to get a beautiful color, follow the instructions!

Highlighting hair - types and methods.

Highlighting - brightening individual strands of hair. This procedure is not in vain is very common, as blondes and brunettes resort to it, young fashionable women and older women - this method of coloring will decorate almost every woman, will refresh your face, help you look young and stylish. Highlighting has many advantages:

visually gives the hair extra volume,
causes far less damage to hair than a complete discoloration,
"Aligns" the complexion, helps to hide skin imperfections,
perfectly masks gray hair and regrown roots.

Perhaps the only limitation for highlighting are damaged hair, as the procedure will emphasize this drawback.

Types of highlighting

Since highlighting has not been out of fashion for a very long time, more and more new types of such coloring appear:

Especially luxurious American highlights look on dark hair.

Highlighting at home (methods and rules)

Of course, it is better to apply such procedures to professionals, but fans of house painting can try and cope on their own, especially since many large manufacturers of coloring products produce ready-made highlighting kits.

There are several techniques for clarifying individual strands.

With the cap

One of the earliest and simplest methods is staining with a cap. For this purpose, holes are made in the rubber cap through which later strands that need clarification are passed through. This method is suitable for short and medium hair lengths.

Long strands may be tangled, so for their coloring it is better to resort to other methods. Now this technique is used less and less, because with its help it is impossible to achieve smooth transitions or lighten large strands.

Using foil

Quite a convenient and common method of highlighting is staining with foil. This way you can lighten strands of any length. Except, of course, the brightener itself, gloves (standard dyeing kit) for highlighting by this method will need a comb with a thin handle and strips of foil (special conventional thermal paper) 6-10 centimeters wide and twice the length of hair.

The procedure should be started from the back of the head, separating one strand of the required thickness, covering it with dyeing composition and wrapping it in foil in this way: the foil strip is folded in half at the ends of the hair and then bent on the sides. Reaching from the head to the top of the head, you should start the transition to the temporal parts: first to one, then to the other, and last of all to paint the hair in front.

The paint on the hair should be kept for ten to forty minutes (but not more), depending on the original color and the desired result, and then rinse the curls very thoroughly with warm water.

Having perfectly mastered this coloring technique, you can experiment with different types of highlighting: in a circle, using several different colors, and so on.

To complete the highlighting procedure, as well as any other staining, you should use a nourishing mask or at least a caring balm. Moreover, you should pay attention to the presence of masks, shampoos and conditioners, designed specifically for the melirovannyh hair, and use them in the future, which will give the hair more healthy and well-groomed appearance.

Pros and contraindications of highlighting

looks advantageous on the stepped and graded haircuts.
effectively reduces oily hair.

Do not highlight:

on hair that has recently been dyed (especially with henna or basma), subjected to chemical attack (perm, keratin treatment),
with injuries and inflammation of the scalp.

Lightening problems

Dyeing hair in bright colors is always a stress for them. In order to lighten the hair, it is necessary to partially or completely neutralize the natural coloring pigment inside the hair shaft. And for this it is necessary, by physical or chemical means, to loosen the upper keratin layer, which protects the hair from moisture loss and the harmful effects of the environment.

As a result, the hair loses shine and strength. And the higher the degree of discoloration, the greater the damage. If for one coloring try to turn from a brunette to a blonde, then the result is likely to be deplorable. On the head you will get lifeless tow, which is impossible to properly lay and even comb, without pulling out a decent tuft of hair.

But this is not the only problem of clarification. Hair of warm tones: brown, wheat, red, often get after this procedure pronounced yellow tint, to get rid of that at home is almost impossible. It can be corrected with the help of tint balms or masked using persistent colors of golden tones.

Staining options

But is it still impossible to dye your hair a bright color without damaging it? Yes, there is still no perfect bleaching method. It is necessary to choose only between serious and weak damages.

But the more gently the composition operates, the less tones it will be possible to “wash off” from the head of hair with its help.

Bleaching compositions

The maximum effect of clarification is given by decolorizing structures. They also have to be used before using resistant paints that are more than 2-3 tones lighter than the original color. In general, when going from dark to light on previously dyed hair, experts recommend doing a wash. Otherwise it will not be possible to achieve the purity of a new tone.

In specialized stores today you can buy:

Lightening powder. Recommended for professional use. Usually it contains a blue or purple pigment, which makes it possible to dye hair in light shades without yellowness. Its main advantage is high efficiency. It allows you to lighten the hair even by 6-8 tones. But doing it right away is not recommended. Failure to observe the correct proportions when diluting the powder or incorrectly setting the time of its exposure (and professionals select it individually!) Leads to a strong drying of the hair.
Brightening gel. Modern high-tech novelty, with which natural hair of dark blonde and lighter shades can be lightened by 1-2 tones with almost no harm to them. The gel does not contain ammonia, and discolors the hair under the influence of hydrogen peroxide. It helps to speed up the heating (a hair dryer or under sunlight). The gel is not effective on colored hair, since such clarification is a physical process and cannot influence the chemical pigments injected.
Wash. The most harmless of all clarifying agents. It contains the minimum concentration of the oxidizing agent, due to which it does not loosen the keratin layer too much. The flakes open up just enough so that it becomes possible to wash the previously introduced color pigment. On natural hair, this tool almost does not work. But it is very convenient in cases where after dyeing the shade turned out too dark or does not meet your expectations at all. Wrong color should be washed off, and not painted over by others - advised by experienced hairdressers.

It is advisable to choose a bleaching agent based on the structure and condition of the hair. If the hair is thin or heavily damaged by perm or staining, then the use of a brightening powder should be abandoned.

Ammonia paint

If you want to make the original shade lighter by 2-3 tones, then ammonia-resistant paints can be an excellent alternative. It is thanks to ammonia that the keratin layer is actively loosened, and the pigment is washed out.

Ammonia paint, in fact, performs two actions at once - brightens the hair and then replaces the pigment with the selected one.

You can gradually change the color to lighter even without using a wash. To do this, with each subsequent dyeing you need to buy paint one tone lighter than the previous one. Of course, such a transformation will take up to several months. But the transition will be smooth, without a sharp border at the roots and a strong damage to the hair.

To repaint from dark to light color, you will quickly have to use a wash or a bleaching powder. They will remove the pigment previously injected, and then new paint can be applied.

But such a procedure, especially performed on the same day, is the strongest stress for a head of hair, and then it requires careful care and long-term recovery.

Tint balms

The principle of their action is based on the creation around each hair of the thinnest film, in which there is a color pigment. It does not loosen, but, on the contrary, smoothes hair. Therefore, the resulting color is quickly washed out, and its shade directly depends on the original hair color. So brunettes can add a reddish or brown glow to their hair, and owners of brown hair can enhance the golden reflections on them.

For painting dark hair in light colors, tint balms are completely useless. All that they can do is slightly adjust the shade obtained with stronger means.

But they are simply indispensable for a cold-colored blond hair. Corrective "silver" balms quickly neutralize the unpleasant yellowness, which is manifested under the influence of poor quality water, smoking and ultraviolet radiation.

Modern technology

Modern techniques of non-uniform hair coloring, created on the basis of classical highlighting, are considered a gentle way of lightening: balayaz, ombre, shatush and others. They allow you to visibly lighten medium and long hair, damaging only individual strands.

These techniques have many advantages, since they all:

visually increase the amount of hair,
do not require frequent correction
allow you to save intact roots
perfectly mask insignificant gray hair,
refresh your face and rejuvenate the image
look stylish and modern
allow you to experiment with additional toning.

An experienced master will always select for you individually the best painting technique and suitable shades. But such work is not cheap and this is perhaps the only minus of modern complex painting techniques.

By the time the procedure can take up to several hours if the hair is thick and three or more shades are used in the work.

For short and very curly hair, this alternative is hardly suitable. To make a non-uniform coloring look beautiful, the transitions between tones should be smooth. On a short haircut for this lack of length. And cool curls strongly intertwined, creating a color cacophony on the head. In these cases, it is better to choose a uniform color in beautiful light shades.

Folk Alternative

It is possible to dye hair in a lighter tone at home without severe damage to the structure of the hair with the help of folk methods. Naturally, they are not a full-fledged alternative to salon painting, but when used correctly they give very good results.

Here are some simple time-tested recipes:

Lemon juice. Able to significantly accelerate the burning of hair in the sun. In winter, you can replace the natural heat with a regular hair dryer. Apply freshly squeezed and squeezed lemon juice diluted in half with water onto cleanly washed moist hair. Sit for an hour in the sun with your head uncovered (if not too hot!) Or heat the hair for 15 minutes at an average temperature. Repeat the procedure can be 1-2 times a week, the effect becomes noticeable after about a month.
Chamomile decoction. A beautiful and completely harmless way to make blonde hair even lighter. A tablespoon of dried flowers pour a glass of boiled water, insist a couple of hours in a thermos or boil for 20 minutes in a water bath, drain. Dilute the resulting broth in half a liter of water and rinse hair after each wash. Lightening becomes noticeable after 8-10 applications. But the effect is short. If you stop using chamomile, the original color is returned.
Kefir mask. In it, the active ingredient is lactic acid. It slightly neutralizes the natural pigment, penetrating deep into the hair shaft without destroying the keratin layer. At the same time, kefir mask moisturizes and nourishes the skin, and if you add honey and cinnamon, it activates the blood circulation and contributes to the activity of hair follicles. Kefir is applied first to the roots (you can gently massage the mask), and then distributed over the entire length. Cover the hair with cellophane, insulate and hold for 1-2 hours. Rinse with lukewarm water without shampoo.

There are other safe ways of home brightening, but they are suitable only for natural hair. Dyed hair can not make it lighter. Only stronger chemistry can withstand modern chemistry.

Home care

Since any dyeing in light shades somehow damages the hair, after it special attention should be paid to their restoration. To the hair hit minimally and quickly came back to normal, you should listen to the advice of professionals:

apply lightening compounds and ammonia dyes only on unwashed hair,
if the hair is badly damaged - it must be treated before lightening,
Do not discolor hair more than 3-4 shades in one session,
after dyeing with henna or basma, it is possible to lighten hair with ammonia formulations not earlier than in a month,
frequent use of tonic dries hair - 3-4 times a month is enough,
after lightening brown hair there is always a redhead on them, so for them it is necessary to choose warm light shades,
the use of brightening compositions red hair can make a bright yellow, and this must be considered when choosing a shade,
the thinner the hair, the more delicate light paint should be,
with a large number of gray hair is to choose only natural shades that are easy to adjust tonic,
at least two weeks after the light painting, it is desirable to abandon the ironing and curling, and the hair dryer to use at minimum temperatures,
at least once a week it is necessary to pamper your hair with regenerating masks, and use air conditioning after each wash,

Remember that the tips during light painting suffer most of all, they must be fed with special oil.

And of course, we must not forget about thermal protection and spray with UV filters. They neutralize the adverse effects of the environment and allow longer to keep the hair alive, shiny and supple.

Light hair features

The natural color of the curls does not depend on the desire of the person - it is given by nature, is programmed genetically and depends on the number of pigments and their proportional proportions. Light - contain a minimal amount of pigment, compared with dark and red shades.

The density of hair in blondes is the lowest, despite the fact that the average number of hairs they have more. This is due to the fact that blond hair is the thinnest. The only exception may be the fair-haired Russian beauties - unlike Scandinavian blondes, they often can boast a thick braid. This is again a genetic phenomenon due to historical facts. Mongol-Tatars, who are representatives of the Mongoloid race and have the very strong, hard and thick hair, supplied the Slavs with their genes.

Light strands become fatty faster - this is due to the large number of small hair follicles and sebaceous glands. therefore natural blondes have to wash their hair more often and use means to stabilize sebaceous secretion and ensure volume.

Light curls are much easier to dye - they are easy to fit almost any shade. Unlike dark shades, they do not need preliminary lightening.

Important! Light hair type needs more protection, including from the effects of aggressive coloring agents. Therefore, the number of stains should be minimized.

With the age of a person, the structure of his hair also changes - they become thinner, their life cycle shortens. Owners of naturally thin strands of light notice these changes before others.

But they also have advantages: the thinning is not so noticeable on the background of light scalp, as among the owners of dark hair.

Despite the large number of drawbacks, there is one huge advantage - gentlemen prefer blondes!

Staining rules

To qualitatively dye natural hair of light shades, it is necessary to take into account their structure and features, as well as to follow these rules:

It is advisable to avoid persistent aggressive staining agents, preferring ammonia-free.
When deciding a blonde to get a blond or dark blond shade, it is necessary to pick up the paint 2 shades darker than the current one. This will help to achieve the desired color and ensure its longer on the curls.
When choosing paint it is necessary to pay attention to the oxidizer: the darker the natural shade, the greater the percentage. Absolutely fair hair is 3%.
Dangerous for self-coloring chestnut color. With the wrong choice of tone or the use of dye, you can get a bright red, red or crimson hue. After buying the paint, it is advisable to try it on a small strand behind the ear or on the back of the head.
When using cheap low-quality tools or some natural dyes (basmy, henna) can get an unexpected green tint.

Fashion is changeable and unstable. Increasingly, leading stylists, answering questions about fashionable shades, recommend not to follow fashion trends mindlessly, but to focus on their color type, lifestyle, and hair structure. Their slogan: "Following the fashion - do not disfigure yourself!"

Owners of light strands when deciding to radically change the image, it is advisable to still contact the professional colorists, at least when choosing the color and primary coloring. Then you can maintain the resulting shade yourself.

Algorithm of full coloring:

Before dyeing, do not wash your hair for 2-3 days to form a natural defense for the roots and scalp.
The skin along the hairline is preferably smeared with any fat cream.
The paint should be applied to dry strands, since the wet ones do not absorb the coloring pigment well.
Wear rubber or plastic gloves, which come in a set with paint, on your hands.
It is possible to mix the dye components only in a non-metallic bowl and a non-metallic spatula.
Paint should be used immediately after mixing.
It is necessary to start coloring from the back of the head, as in this area the hairs need longer exposure to pigments. Finish - on the temporal area.
Paint is applied with a brush to each individual strand from root to tip.
To ensure a more uniform application of the dye, after its complete application, it is necessary to distribute it using a non-metallic comb with rare teeth.
If the hair is long, you can wear a hat to avoid staining clothes.
Coloring to produce strictly according to the time specified by the manufacturer in the instructions.
Rinse thoroughly under running warm water with shampoo, complete this step with a balm or conditioner.

Attention! When choosing a dye, you should also focus on its safety. To do this, it is necessary to examine the composition when buying.

It must be remembered: the safer the dye, the less it keeps on the head of hair:

The most resistant dyes have a chemical effect on the hairs. Their coloring pigments penetrate inside the hair with hydrogen peroxide and ammonia.
Means that do not contain aggressive components, have a physical impact - they envelop the hairs, without penetrating inside.
Natural remedies - henna and basma - have not only a coloring, but also a healing effect. Their main disadvantage is not a large enough palette of possible shades. Also, natural dyes include chamomile, walnut peel, cinnamon, lemon, linden, coffee, black tea. But it is more tint means than coloring.

Undoubtedly, in order to follow fashion trends in 2018, it is necessary to paint curls on one of the below presented techniques.

Tonics, mousses, foam, balm

Techniques of tinting hair with these means are similar:

a dyeing composition is applied to washed, slightly damp hair,
it is distributed over the entire length with a rare non-metallic comb,
maintained as specified by the manufacturer, and washed off with warm water.

Important! The effect of the use of tonic will remain on the hair for about 1–1.5 months, balsam for about 2-4 weeks, foam, mousse - before the first wash.

Tint shampoo will achieve short-term effect - he wash off after the first wash. However, with its frequent use, the shade of the hair becomes more intense.

Mode of application:

To wash hair with tinting shampoo, applying it as usual.
Distribute the shampoo on the hair with a comb and maintain the time specified by the manufacturer.
Thoroughly rinse the shampoo under running water.

It should be remembered that the intensity of the color depends on the exposure time of the shampoo on the curls.

This method allows you to get a short-term effect. The pigment is washed off with the next wash. But if the procedure is repeated, the shade will become more intense.

Crayons, sprays

These tools are perfect if there is a need to change the image for one evening - for a holiday, a thematic party.

Spray sprayed on the hair style and washed off when you first wash your hair.

Crayons applied on wet strands and fixed with a strong lacquer.

Care for dyed hair

Any impact on the hair has a negative impact on its quality. Hair becomes more brittle and lifeless. To restore their beauty, elasticity, you must adhere to the following rules:

use shampoos, balms and conditioners for dyed hair, they will not only revive the hair, but also help to keep its color longer,
once a week to make masks,
take vitamins and minerals
avoid prolonged exposure to the sun and cold.

Care for blond hair is complex and scrupulous. But with a blond and light blond, you can easily go to almost any other color. In addition, blondes have always attracted the attention of men. And modern dyeing techniques allow you to choose the most appropriate shade of light.

However, no less stylish hairstyle, made in such a technique, looks on a short haircut, and women with round face shape as bright as possible in front of the locks help to look more attractive.

This method of coloring has its own varieties:

Stripe staining is a method in which there is a contrasting strip between the upper and lower parts of the hair of the same color, usually in shades of light brown.

Ombre staining is performed in two approaches. The first involves the straightening of the strands, and the second - toning.

Hair should be divided into two parts and then into four parts (or eight, if they are very thick). Starting from the middle of each beam, it is necessary to apply a brightener to the strands, having previously prepared it in accordance with the instructions. After a specified time, rinse with water.
