The latest fashion is naturalness in everything. This also applies to hair coloring. One of the most popular techniques today is highlighting shatushi, which allows you to make smooth, and most importantly, natural transitions from dark to light shades. What are the features of this type of staining? Who is it suitable for? What types and types of highlighting rods exist? Read about all this and more below.
Something interesting
This dyeing technique was invented by an Italian hair stylist named Aldo Coppola. He borrowed the name from the English language - shahtoosh, which literally means "expensive kind of wool." In the case of applying this term with respect to the technology of dyeing hair, this term is used in a metaphorical sense, as a synonym for the word "luxury" or "chic". Given the fact that in recent times there have been countless options for how you can dye your hair, they often confuse the shuttle with California highlighting, ombre and, of course, balayazhe (the latest technique really has a lot to do with the shuttle). Right now we will reveal all the features, subtleties and details of this technology of hair coloring.
Main characteristics
Often, the technique of highlighting shatushas is compared with a “sun kiss”. The effect of randomly burned strands is created against the background of the main hair. The most important thing is to choose a light tone that will impress with the original dark, as it were, a continuation of it. There is no place for contrasting transitions, sharp gradients and vivid coloring. Shatush - highlighting, which is characterized by maximum naturalness and proximity to the natural. It is important to remember that when lightening hair using this technology, the tips do not stain completely. The paint stretches from the basal sections to the end of the curls, but not all hairs are affected. Thus, it turns out that some of the upper strands have a very light tone, darker under them, and the hair color at the roots is as saturated as possible. Highlighting shatushi looks great on hair of any color. On a light blond base, individual strands are lightened white, on a dark blond base, a smooth transition to sandy shades is made, and brown or red tints are distinguished on a completely dark head of hair.
Looking for differences
More recently, only classical highlighting was familiar to women. It was possible to make large and rare strands, or small and frequent. In part, this principle migrated to highlighting shatushi, but with certain costs. Firstly, the paint is stretched through the hair, but does not completely cover the entire strand. Secondly, curls are highlighted randomly, and not sequentially, there is no symmetry. Thirdly, the occipital strands remain intact, that is, dark or black. As for the California highlighting, which is also often compared with the technique of shuttles, it plays an intermediate role. It retains the principle of classics, but lacks order and symmetry. It is also easy to confuse highlighting shatusha with the technique of staining balazyazh. The latter is also characterized by randomly highlighted strands, but with a certain reservation. Individual curls are clarified not from the basal zone, but from about the middle of the length. As additional shades can be used that do not complement the original hair color, but look against its background in contrast.
Having decided on the differences of the shatusha from other highlighting technologies, we turn to the second question.
Who is it suitable for?
There are no age restrictions here, even more so, this type of staining can “throw off” about 5 years, refresh the face and image. But as for the length of the hair, it is worth taking this more carefully. Shatush - hair highlighting that looks great on a long or medium length. On short hair, various haircuts from the category of care, bob and others, this type of dyeing will look ridiculous and ridiculous. Also note that the bright red hair serves as an obstacle to creating the desired result. It will be difficult for them to choose a shade that demonstrates the effect of burnt-out locks, so experts recommend that red-haired young ladies give preference to staining techniques such as ombre or California highlighting.
Advantages
This staining technology has many positive aspects, among which are:
- The ability to quickly and safely lighten hair. When highlighting shatushi on dark hair, you gradually lighten them. If you undergo such a procedure every 3-4 months, then in a few sessions you can completely say goodbye to dark hair and turn into a blonde.
- Staining is gentle, as the roots of the hair are not affected in the process.
- Creating visual volume. Hair will no longer need curlers or curling irons - they will always look chic.
- Excellent masking of gray hairs. They will simply be lost against the background of "burnt out" curls.
The right choice of shade
- On the hair of a light brown palette, the crank looks especially advantageous and natural. There is no sharpness of transitions, colors complement and continue each other. For dark and medium-haired hair, this type of highlighting is the ability to refresh the hair, give the hair volume and splendor. To achieve this effect, it is worth taking the paint no more than 2 tones lighter than the original color. It can be ash, sand or wheat.
- Brown hair cannot be described in one word. They are incredibly diverse, have many variations and varieties. Brown can be ashen, cold or chestnut, warm. It can be walnut, pastel or copper, bright and expressive. It is based on the shade, which is the main one on the hair, that the color for the crank is selected. These are either dark ash tones, or neutral, or golden copper.
- Black hair is the most difficult to dye using this technology, but as a result they look the most advantageous. Against their background, brown and coffee strands look great. Dark ashy shades, chocolate and walnut will also look organic. If the skin has an ideal tone, then you can dare and make a crank in red, copper or red tones.
To summarize
Just look at the photo of highlighting the cranks and think: do you really not want to be the owner of such a luxurious and custom hair? Despite the fact that the technique of such staining is so common these days, it looks unique and original on every woman. It is thanks to the fact that the strands are colored in a chaotic manner, the hair acquires the most natural appearance. In addition, the lack of contact of the dye with the root zone makes the clarification procedure safe and gentle.
