Ombre on fair hair
Ombre is a relatively new technique in which the lower part of the hair is dyed in a lighter (or dark) tone than the upper.

For best results, ombre staining should be done by professionals. But subject to a number of recommendations, this can be done at home.
The technique of staining ombre at home
Ombre staining is performed in two approaches. The first involves lightening the strands, and the second - tinting.
The hair must be divided along the parting into two, and then into four parts (or eight, if they are very thick). Starting from the middle of each beam, a clarifier should be applied to the strands, having previously prepared it in accordance with the instructions. After the specified time, rinse with water.
Washed and dried hair divided again into four or eight parts. Now, for each bundle, it is necessary to apply pre-diluted paint. You need to start from the middle of bleached hair. In this place, the paint is applied in one layer, and on the tips - twice. After the time indicated on the packaging, wash off the product.
Now you need to apply conditioner and balm on the hair, dry. To achieve the greatest effect, paint on the roots can be applied one more time for 15 minutes and washed off again.
Features of balayazh technique for blond hair

Bronding is another modern dyeing technique that is ideal for dark-haired girls who want to become blondes with minimal damage to their hair. As a rule, at least three types of dye are used in the process of creating the so-called natural hair effect.
Dyeing fair hair with the technique of bronding is to lighten the lower part of the hair by alternating three different shades, while the paint is not applied to the roots. Thanks to this gentle method, it is possible to obtain a natural blonde blond - luxurious and shiny hair without a yellow tint, as with traditional bleaching.

Light dyeing short hair
The techniques discussed above look perfect on long hair. But this does not mean at all that the owners of a short haircut should remain on the sidelines. Ombre, balayazh and crank are the techniques that a skilled craftsman can use to perform equally spectacular light staining.

With the techniques of cranking and balayazh on short hair, the strands are colored randomly, creating a natural effect of lightness and negligence, adding the missing volume to the hairdo and making the woman look more confident.
