Many women like to experiment with their appearance. And the main reason for this is the desire to be different from everyone else. Often, in order to radically change the image, it is enough to change the hairstyle and dye your hair. A good option for modern fashionistas is coloring hair.
What it is
Coloring is a special method of coloring individual strands of hair. Often it is confused with highlighting, but these two concepts differ significantly from each other. When highlighting, no more than two dyes are used, while hair coloring can be carried out using even 10 dyes.
Execution technique
Hair coloring is carried out in several stages: dyes are first applied to individual strands, after which each strand is wrapped with foil so that shading does not occur. Most often, staining begins with a bang, and ends on the back of the head. The composition applied to the hair is maintained for the required amount of time prescribed in the instructions, after which it must be washed off with shampoo and balm.
The type of coloring that is carried out using foil is called complete. But there are several other methods:
· Surface coloring is the coloring of the upper layer of hair. For these purposes, a cap is used for highlighting. The only problem is that the process itself is long, since with the help of a hat you will have to carry out several stains, depending on the number of shades used. To prevent mixing, each shade must be painted separately.
· Multilayer coloring involves dyeing hair in several layers at once. For example, the lowest layer of hair can be light brown, the middle one can be ashen, and the top layer can be light ash.
· It is similar to the previous method and contrasting coloring, however, when it is dyed, it is carried out in such a way that the lower hair is dyed in one color and the upper one in another. At the same time, a clear boundary is clearly visible between these two layers.
Who will suit
Hair coloring is suitable for women of any age. The most important thing is to choose the right shades. So, if young girls can be dyed using bright shades, then women over age should be given preference to restrained tones that are close to the natural color. Such a coloring method is suitable for those who want to visually increase the volume of hair. A similar effect is achieved through the use of several dyes.
Coloring at home
It should be noted that it is very difficult to color the house yourself. Of course, you can try, it's just impossible to know what the final result will be. It is especially difficult to dye long hair at home. If you want, but in a different way, then it is best to choose a full stain with foil.
Having prepared everything you need (gloves, dyes), you need to carefully read the instructions and act as written there. You should not choose a complex colorization scheme, since it is unlikely to succeed. Wearing gloves, it is necessary to knead the paint and prepare the foil (about 3 cm wide). Staining is carried out in rows, and it is best to start from the back of the head. Take a strand 0.5 cm wide and carefully lubricated with paint. Then the strand must be wrapped in foil and set aside so that it does not interfere. Alternating shades, it is necessary to paint over all the locks. After finishing one row, you need to proceed to the next, etc. When all the strands are dyed, you need to wait for the time indicated in the instructions and wash off the dyes with shampoo and balm.
