Many girls like to experiment with their appearance: catchy makeup, unusual haircuts, hair color changes help them in this. Staining is a widely available technique that can be used even at home. But full staining at the moment is not the most sparing and popular. Hairdressers are developing more and more new technologies that allow not only changing their appearance, but also maximizing the health of their hair. It is to such methods that highlighting balazyazh refers.
What is this coloring?
Oddly enough, but balayazh is a long-known way to change hair color. Back in France of the 70s, fashionistas of various directions (hippies, boho, sports) began to practice this method of painting. Soon, the popularity of balayazh came to naught, along with various subcultures, however, thanks to modern trends in supporting naturalness and individuality, this technique has revived and pleases many girls with room for imagination, but at the same time maintaining naturalness.
Highlighting balayazh hair is the best option for those girls who do not want to spoil their hair. Paint is applied to the ends of the hair with small strokes of the brush. Smears are made both vertical and horizontal - this technique is not accidental. Highlighting a balayazh makes the hair color as natural as possible.
Colors are taken in several tones different from natural, due to this, a contrast is created between the roots and tips, as well as with the main strands.
Coloring is carried out not randomly, but randomly, thereby visually creating the effect of burnt hair.
Balayazh technique requires great professionalism from a hair stylist, since it is necessary to apply paint in such a way that a sharp transition is not visible. Highlighting a balayage is carried out with foil and drawing colors, the lower strands are painted less intensely than the upper ones. In addition, the color transition from dark to light (in the case of dyeing dark hair) and, conversely, from light to dark when staining the blond should be preserved.
What is the difference between balayazh and highlighting ordinary?
Although balayazh is a subspecies of highlighting, for ordinary people, these methods of staining are different.
The main difference between highlighting a balayazh from all the usual ones is a smooth transition in shades, blurry borders and coloring with the coloring material basically only the tips.
In traditional highlighting, the strands are clarified or darkened completely along the entire length, foil is used, due to which a clear transition is visible. Also, most often, paint is taken, very different from the natural color of the hair, for a brighter contrast. It is not used for balayage.
What techniques are similar to staining balayazh?
Shatush, balayazh, California highlighting - names that scare girls with their overseas sound. The listed techniques differ slightly from each other, but still have their own characteristics.
The most similar to staining balayazh - California highlighting. During the procedure, the hairdresser does not use foil, which gives a heterogeneous structure to the strands. Colors are taken 5-7 tones darker or lighter than natural - to give your hair the effect of burnt hair in the bright sun (just like on California beaches).
To mask the beginning of gray hair, hairdressers are advised to use highlighting rods. Balayazh copes with a similar problem, but it will take a lot of time. When the crank is used, the pile is used and the ash colors that are fashionable this season are used, which perfectly cover the gray hair strands. Foil is not used for such staining, the strands are selected randomly, and the paint is applied unevenly, more intensively to the tips. Of course, with shatusha, traditional shades are also used that give the effect of burnt hair.
How is highlighting balayazh?
The head must be washed the day before painting. Hair is thoroughly combed over its entire length. A necessary condition is a flat surface, otherwise the paint will fall to shreds and the effect will clearly upset both the girl and the hairdresser.
Next, strands of hair stand out. In order to mark the length of staining, the hairdresser can use elastic bands or hairpins. Paint is applied to selected areas and wrapped with foil. For a smooth transition (either immediately, or after 10-15 minutes), the paint with a comb is, as it were, pulled to the roots. Next, the locks are again wrapped and the time necessary for dyeing is maintained.
The upper layer of hair is exposed more intensely and often, the lower layer is dyed selectively.
The staining length is pre-negotiated with the girl, but usually, taking into account the smooth transition, it takes 2/3 of the head. The roots are not stained.
Who is it for?
Highlighting a balayazh on dark hair can add femininity, softness and tenderness to a burning brunette or brown-haired woman. For fair-haired girls, dyeing can add peppercorns and passion.
Ladies, who often change their appearance, argue that balayazh is more suitable for blondes than for dark-haired ones, however, with the correct application of paint and the observance of technology, brunettes can be made with gorgeous staining that will completely change the whole look.
Coloring is carried out on short hairstyles. In this case, the hairstyle takes on a more fresh and playful look. On medium and long hair balayazh allows you to show the structure of the strands, reflect the length and volume.
Coloring looks good on young girls, as well as on ladies of old age. Balayazh is good for any woman! The main condition is to choose the right shades that will fit the eyes, skin color and at the same time will not go out of the natural color scheme of the hair.
For girls who have thin and thin hair, balayazh technique can significantly help in giving visual volume by stretching the color through the hair.
Advantages over Other Ways
- Balayazh is the most fashionable and relevant coloring for the time being.
- Care does not differ from general care for colored hair: regular washing, the use of a balm for colored hair, applying a special mask 1-2 times a week.
- Long lasting effect. Due to the fact that the color transition from the base to the ends is smooth and unsharp, as the hair grows back, there is no need to tint the roots. The only condition is to remove split ends in time.
- Versatility and space for imagination. There is no specific staining scheme - each girl can independently choose the order and intensity of staining, as well as the area of exposure.
- The closest approach to naturalness against the background of other staining methods.
What can spoil the expected result?
Despite the apparent simplicity of the dyeing, there are moments that you need to consider as a girl who dared to make herself a hitch, and a hairdresser.
Firstly, any lady should remember that previous staining, which is clearly different from regrown roots, can significantly slow down the process of hair processing. The specialist will need to achieve uniformity or completely reduce the previous staining. Therefore, before deciding to go to the hairdresser, make sure that the hair is as ready as possible for a new exposure.
Secondly, you need to dye your hair only after you cut your hair. There is no point in dyeing if you cut off half the hair after that!
Thirdly, according to many girls, highlighting balayazh on dark hair looks more impressive if the natural shade differs from the selected paint by 3-4 tones.
In relation to fair-haired beauties, the difference in shade can be 1-2 tones - this is quite enough to refresh the image.
When choosing a color, you do not need to pay attention to a radically different tone, otherwise your coloring will look like an ombre style. Balayazh - highlighting is more natural and natural.
In addition, do not try to repeat this technique at home, otherwise you risk looking ridiculous and implausible.
What hairstyles emphasize the beauty of hair dyed using balayazh technique?
One of the benefits of balayazha is its versatility.
Everyday hairstyles - ponytail, braids, buns - look fresh and at the same time do not lose their severity. In the case of the tail (especially if it is tall), there is a beautiful color transition, which will make the hair style different even with the slightest tilt of the head.
Any weaving looks exotic if locks of different colors are taken. Even if you have an official or solemn hairstyle, a balayazh can emphasize exactly the area in the hairstyle that you need to especially highlight (for example, a flower from hair or curls).
Loose hair and a pit are best friends. On a solid mass of hair, transitions and a change in shades are perfectly traced.
Curls also perfectly emphasize the coloring texture, make it voluminous and visually increase the density of hair in principle.
Balayazh: examples from the red carpet and reviews of ordinary girls
The popularity of this staining technique is confirmed not only by an active discussion of it in women's forums, but also by the hairstyles of famous actresses, singers and models.
Reviews of ordinary people on many leading sites on beauty and hair suggest that girls are not afraid to experiment. For most of them, this method of coloring made it possible to transform the appearance without much impact on the bulk of the hair.
However, the girls are advised to carefully choose a specialist, otherwise there is a great risk of unprofessionality in such a complex technique: sharp transitions, overdried tips, improperly selected shade of paint.
