The name “tiger's eye” was not called out of love for the feline family. It also has nothing to resemble a tiger color. This technique applies to highlighting using only warm shades of paint.
Hair coloring "tiger eye" implies the creation of highlights of a light caramel color on dark hair. The result is a smooth transition from chocolate to amber shades. Such glare resembles the overflow of the semiprecious stone of the tiger's eye, which is why the technique got its name.
Previously, the effect of sun-tanned hair, which was not so difficult to achieve without going to the salon, was popular among brunettes. But creating tiger eye overflows will require some skill and patience. Therefore, if you want your hairstyle to resemble a Hollywood one, it is better to contact a qualified colorist.

But still, you should not try to do it yourself if you have insufficient experience in painting.
How is it done?
Hair coloring "tiger eye" experts compare with drawing on canvas. That is why it is difficult to do at home. The specialist paints the strand in the form of the letter V in a light shade: the sharp end faces the ends of the hair, which are completely colored. The strand is wrapped in foil and optionally in polyethylene. This is done so that dyed hair does not touch each other.
The coloring composition is left for 30 minutes. Depending on the effect of the dye, the master may increase the time. Next comes the stage of washing your hair, lightly blow drying and staining the roots. The colorist selects a shade as close as possible to the natural color.
Next, the master proceeds to tinting. Smears of selected shades are applied to the strands. After the coloring is completed, the hair is washed and moisturizing balm is applied, as the strands were lightened.
The procedure takes about 2-3 hours in time, but the result is amazing - the hairstyle plays with other colors. In order to get the desired effect, show the master the photo of hair coloring “tiger eye” with the hairstyle that you want.
Hair care
