Any woman and girl wants to have thick well-groomed hair, shining with a natural color. However, not everyone has the opportunity to boast of what nature has given her. In such a situation, hairdressers who know the secrets of beauty come to the rescue. An experienced specialist can dye your hair in such a way that the color seems natural, the locks will appear to be burnt out in the sun, while the curls will look healthy and shiny. Shatush is a dyeing method used by hairdressers to achieve such goals.
What it is?
In general, such options have been known for a long time. After all, shatush is a variation on the theme of highlighting. The only difference is that with this method, shades are selected that have a slight difference in color. And the border between them should not be clear, but very smooth, natural. For staining, small locks are taken, taken in a chaotic manner. The result will be not only natural looking hair, but also extra volume.
In what situations is it worth resorting to stencil painting? It fits almost all women. The exception is the owners of short hair, since on such a hairstyle this highlighting will look extremely unnatural.
If you want to change something in the image, but there is no desire to radically change the color, if you want to grow a “native” shade, if you need to even out the tone after previous dyeing, if you also need volume to natural hair, if you can’t visit the hairdresser often, if you have dark hair - these are exactly the situations when dyeing the cranks is the best way out. The technology is more suitable for owners of dark hair, but blondes will also find options for themselves. In addition, it is worth considering that for painting gray hair this method is not very suitable.
Two techniques are very similar to each other: ombre and shatush. The difference between the two is that the shuttle suggests natural colors, while in the ombre technique, completely opposite shades and eccentric colors can be used.
Nowadays, various staining technologies are fashionable - bronding, shatush, ombre, California or Venetian highlighting. However, all these methods converge in the main thing - naturalness. Today, this is the main requirement for appearance, whether it's a hairstyle or clothes. The far-fetched, too deliberate is not in fashion these days.
You can make shuttles on natural hair, and on existing highlighting. In addition, experts use paints that cause hair damage to a minimum. The absence of additional warming through the use of foil or caps also minimizes the harm done.
Staining technique
Shatush is a technique that does not require the use of foil or caps for highlighting. Such staining is performed outdoors. You can use natural or chemical dyes - it depends on the condition and initial tone of the hair. Most of those who decide to dye in this way, choose paints with natural basma or henna - this makes it possible not only to get a unique and deep color, but also strengthens the hair from the inside. The procedure lasts approximately 45 minutes. The procedure should be repeated at least once every three months, however, if the roots have a color very close to natural, this can be done with an even larger interval. There are two ways to perform such highlighting.
Fleece Shatush
The classic way - fleece shatush. First of all, the hair is divided into locks up to 2.5 cm wide. Each of them is combed lushly at the roots. The clarifier is applied to the remaining mass. The main thing at this stage of painting shatushi is the choice of the percentage of oxidizing agent. For weak and thin hair, it should be as small as possible. For thick and very dark hair, the oxidizing agent should be no less than 12%.
After holding the oxidizing agent, it is necessary to wash it off thoroughly. After that, the main tinting agent is applied.
The tool is applied with a brush so that it spreads through the hair. If at the end the result is not too noticeable, you can further adjust it by tinting.
Shatush without fleece
An experienced hairdresser applies color so that there is no need to comb your hair. This is done as follows.
Dyes are selected so that there is not much difference between the shades - otherwise it will look very rude. A few centimeters are indented from the roots. Paint is applied with random strokes, without a clear border. The time that the paint stays on the hair, the master chooses individually, based on their structure of the strands, the initial color and the desired shade.
Shatush at home
At first glance, it seems that this is a very simple method, so it’s quite possible to make a shuttle at home. The staining instruction, however, requires experience, knowledge and a firm hand. It is very difficult to create a truly natural hairstyle at home, so it is better to contact a professional. If this is not possible, and you have to have hair no worse than that of a star, you should carefully study the step-by-step video. In addition, you must strictly adhere to all recommendations.
Stain preparation
If a decision is made to resort to a procedure such as a hair shatu, the dyeing technology should be followed to the smallest detail. In addition, it is very important to prepare the hair for the procedure. For this, for 20 days it is necessary to deeply cleanse the skin and regularly use actively moisturizing and nourishing masks. Drying and styling appliances should be used as little as possible. Responsibly approach the choice of funds for the care of curls: buy shampoo and balm for dyed hair, purchase restoring masks and special oil.
Immediately before the procedure, you do not need to wash your hair, you just need to comb it thoroughly - sebum is an excellent protection against the negative effects of dyes. It is impossible to use styling products before the procedure, this can contribute to a very unexpected result.
If the hair was previously dyed, it is advisable to carry out the color alignment procedure. In addition, it is advisable to clean up the hair a few days before dyeing - cut off the split ends and renew the shape.
Be sure to do a skin test so that there is no irritation. This should be done even if the hair has been dyed more than once. Entrust this procedure to the same person who will conduct the staining itself.
Dye
The choice of dye directly affects the staining result. You need to purchase professional products with the maximum content of natural ingredients. At home, do not conduct extreme experiments, stop at tones that are close to natural. Owners of dark hair should choose golden, nutty, honey tones. And remember that natural hair brightens to the ends, remaining dark at the roots.
