Recent trends are increasingly voting in favor of naturalness. Natural makeup, natural hair color - such a girl not only admires men, but also becomes an example of style. Even Hollywood beauties are increasingly abandoning shocking in favor of restraint.
This does not mean a complete rejection of the improvement of their appearance. On the contrary, new techniques are being developed to emphasize beauty. These include strobing hair. Such coloring makes it possible to make the appearance brighter, while eliminating any signs of artificiality.
Strobing hair - what is it?
This painting is also called the play of light and shadow. Hair strobing is a technique used by stylists to correct facial contours . In cosmetology, sculpting is used, in hairdressing - strobing. It involves coloring individual strands of hair in lighter (two or more) tones according to an individual scheme for each client. The bottom line is that you need to place glare on the hair so that it advantageously corrects its oval, emphasize beauty and hide imperfections.
Strobing hair looks very natural. Sometimes it can be compared with neatly burned strands, which is so important. In addition to naturalness, this technique visually increases the volume of hair, rejuvenates its owner and does not cause such damage to the hair as classic dyeing.
Splashlight or "burst of light" - also called strobe. It allows you to create such individual combinations of highlighting various sections of hair that the girl who chooses it becomes unique. It is not necessary to stand under the spotlights to feel like a star. You can choose a strobe of hair and always shine.
Square strobe
The classic shape of the face is considered oval. Its owners are suitable for the maximum possible hairstyles, styling and coloring methods. But no less than those who have other facial features. Correctly correct the oval, emphasize the merits and hide not the most advantageous forms - this is what strobing of hair is for.
The square face is characterized by pronounced cheekbones and lower jaw. Strobing helps to make the oval more feminine and adjust its heavy lower part. To do this, you have to color the upper strands around the face, not lower than the cheekbones. The areas highlighted in this way translate the emphasis to the upper part of the face, diverting attention from the chin.
If the haircut is made in such a way that the front strands are longer than the cheekbones line, it is recommended to make an elongated bang. On it then strobe is made.
Strobing for a triangular face
The triangular face has an expanded upper part (forehead, cheekbones) and an elongated, narrow lower part. In order to give such a face an oval shape, strobe must be performed below the line of the cheekbones, in the neck. The emphasis shifts to the chin, making the upper part of the face no longer seems so weighty.
In this case, dyeing can be carried out throughout the lower part of the hair.
Emphasize the beauty of a round face
Owners of a round face shape can stretch an oval using this staining technique as well.
To do this, leave the strands directly around the face intact (a dark background will make it narrower). Dye the following strands from the roots to their end. They will help visually lengthen the face. Long straight hair will serve these goals best.
Bright owner of a round face, Selena Gomez also tried to do strobe hair. The photo shows how even a slight, but correct lightening of the strands visually stretches the oval of the face.
Adjust the shape of the elongated face
This oval of the face has a small horizontal width and an elongated vertical shape. The brightest representative with an elongated face shape can be called Sarah Jessica Parker. She made this feature her calling card. Those who want to adjust such an oval can be advised to make a strobing. Hair coloring in this case is done asymmetrically. You need to highlight strands of elongated bangs, laid to one side. Such horizontal lines visually expand the narrow face and shorten its elongated shape.
Strobing hair at home
This hair coloring is also suitable for independent experiments. It is performed using the “free hand” technique, that is, with a minimum of special tools and tools. Paint is applied by hand with a brush. In this case, the strands do not even have to be distributed, if you want to make a slight shade, to place accents.
In order to create more accentuated strands, the hair needs to be separated using a comb (comb), and after dyeing, wrap in foil. So the paint will not get to neighboring areas of hair.
To make the strands look as natural as possible, the transition of the shades was imperceptible, the painted parts can be pre-combed. So only individual hairs will be stained, which will be those desired glare of light.
The choice of paint can be made depending on the purpose. Most often, strobe uses shades 2 tones lighter than the original. For example, if it was dark blond, you can safely choose light blond. This will produce the most natural effect.
The most courageous girls use strobing to create a more extraordinary image. They choose bright shades for painting (blue, raspberry, turquoise) and experiment with coloring.
The main thing is to take into account the parameters of your face and your own taste preferences. Then any changes will be a joy.
