Coloring is a hair dye not in one tone, but in several shades. Coloring can even be called highlighting, if there has been tinting of the hair after lightening.
Hair coloring: what is it, photo
Even 10 years ago everyone knew what hair coloring was, since this concept was widely used in hairdressing. Today, no-one-on-one coloring is called coloring. Most often, both masters and clients operate with such fashionable words as balayazh, highlighting, airtach, ombre, etc.
So, coloring is hair coloring, as a result of which two or more shades are present on the head. To perform coloring, it is necessary to lighten the hair, and then tint them in the desired shade. Therefore, complex staining, which involves several stages, can be called coloring.
Hair coloring can be performed using different techniques:
- Balayazh is an open technique for lightening hair, the peculiarity of which is that the strand is dyed above and below, and the middle remains untouched;
- Highlighting is carried out using a comb with a metal tip. The master picks up the strands with a darn and lightens them in foil. Then he paints in the desired color.
- Airtach - hair dryer technique. Air helps to highlight layers, as a result of which you can create a beautiful pattern on your hair.
Using various lightening techniques, you can create the most unusual patterns on your hair. See the photo.
If there is a bang, you must add colored rows to it, otherwise the hairstyle will look inharmonious.
What shades to choose so that the coloring looks good?
As we found out earlier, coloring involves several stages of painting. At the beginning, the master brightens the strands, and then applies the necessary shades to them. Now fashionable coloring, made in 2 or 3 shades, previously combined up to 5 colors.
Brunettes or owners of dark hair are suitable for coloring in warm chocolate tones. The color of the roots is considered basic and should be the darkest. For example, if the roots of a chestnut or chocolate color, you can add copper, wheat, caramel strands.
If you want to create a more extreme look - dark hair can be combined with flowers: eggplant, mahogany (mahogany), violet or purple.
Another colorization option for brown-haired women or brunettes is to color the clarified strands in red and copper. By the way, warm tones are now in trend.
Coloring on fair hair: nuances
Coloring of light colored hair can be done without prior clarification, since the base is suitable. It is enough to select the desired shades (usually take monochrome) and apply them, according to the design. In the beginning, the whole head is divided into zones, and locks are distinguished from them.
If you plan to colorize light natural hair, pre-clarification is still needed. But it is carried out at a low percentage of the oxidizing agent - 3%.
To perform hair coloring at home, it is necessary to prepare paints of the desired shades and separate brushes and bowls for each. It is necessary to apply the paint quickly, and lay out the hair so that there are as few contacts of different colors as possible.
Color hair coloring - fashionable and extreme
Today, not only teenagers, but also adult women are open to experimenting with hair. Someone has a haircut for a boy, someone makes a strange bang, and still others choose an unusual hair color.
Rainbow coloring or a combination of other bright colors is now in trend. To achieve brightness, the hair must first lighten, as in the case of brunettes. Then, the selected bright colors are applied to the selected strands. When color tinting, the main thing to consider is the compatibility of shades, for example, when applying blue paint to a yellow blond, you will naturally get green.

How to care for hair after coloring
So, if you decide on a home or salon coloring, remember that after this it is important to care for your hair properly. Shampoos, oils, masks and balms that give shine to hair - the first thing you need.
Scalp Active Toner hair tonic - helps to preserve color and prolong the life of dyeing. You can also use SILK HAIR serum or the Diva Mask to strengthen the roots and accelerate hair growth.
So that the bright shade of the hair does not wash off as long as possible, you should abandon the hot styling devices, like an iron or curling irons. And blow dry with warm or air. Washing your head in hot water will also lead to a rapid loss of shine and color saturation, so practice a contrast shower.
