It does not matter what color you choose - first of all, there should be at least two or three weeks between highlighting and fresh painting. During this time, the hair will recover after an aggressive chemical attack. To help them in this, use special masks and nourishing balms. Since melirovannye hair is difficult to dye in a solid color, stylists recommend to minimize the difference between melirovannymi and unmarked strands, choosing a blonde shade.
For dark hair, dyeing is performed in several stages using a bleaching composition that removes the dark pigment.
One and a half weeks after bleaching, the highlights of the hair can be applied to the hair of the selected color. It should be remembered that if it differs from your natural color by more than a few shades, the coloring will have to be repeated. Also, it is undesirable to use strong blonding compositions that allow you to repaint your hair in one go - they dry out the hair and lead to broken ends.
Color paint for streaked hair
The first step is to determine in daylight your natural hair color. The hue of the paint should be chosen in such a way that it is lighter than this color a few tones, since dark tones do not paint over the streaked strands. The light color will refresh the face and paint the gray hair together with the lightened curls. Also, natural dyes, such as henna or basma, are not suitable for coloring hair, as the chemical dye may react with the natural composition and the hair will acquire a beautiful purple or greenish color.
Streaked hair can not be dyed paint, which includes hydrogen peroxide - it deprives them of shine and elasticity.
If you do decide to dye the clarified strands dark, remember the sequence of actions. First apply the paint on the regrown roots and wait twenty minutes, then distribute its remnants over the entire length of the hair. After ten minutes, wash off the paint, dry your hair and look in the mirror. Most likely, the streaked strands will be lighter than the main shade of the hair, so you can re-dye in two to three weeks, having achieved a completely uniform color throughout the hair. However, the hair can not repaint the second time - lighter strands will make dark hair textured and voluminous.
Types of highlights on dark hair
Coloring individual strands, allowing you to shade the natural hair color, called highlighting. The desired effect is created due to the fact that the color of your own strands and the color of dyed hair are mixed and beautifully complement each other. Highlighting dark hair allows you to make a unique image, add the volume of hair and color depth.
The traditional form of staining. The classic of the genre suggests that the coloring is carried out along the entire length - from root to tip. In order to achieve a more natural and pleasant looking effect, strands are colored no more than 5 mm thick.- American motives. Many are familiar with the effect of strands sunburned by the sun, when the tips are a few tones lighter than the roots. This is the result that allows American to achieve highlight. Professional stylist competently and accurately selects the shade of paint, in harmony with the natural color of the hair.
- California accents. It is believed that this species is less harmful to hair. In this work, the hairdresser uses up to six shades of paint, creating a smooth transition from dark roots to brighter tips. The difference from the American technology is that the foil is not used.
- Venetian style. Smooth transitions, giving the dark thick hair even more volume, are created by using several shades of paint on a minimum number of strands.
- Ombre. Fuzzy boundaries between clarified tips and black roots are created by two colors of paint.
- Diagonal solution. To make the natural hair tone more expressive and deep, resort to this technique. Its essence lies in the fact that parting when painting do not horizontally, but vertically.
- "Salt and pepper". For several seasons, the "noble" and extravagant gray hair does not go out of fashion. Bold individuals, who are not afraid of criticism, most often strive for ashy highlighting.
- Reservation. To date, this technique remains at the peak of popularity. It allows you to achieve in the literal sense of the word chic effect on the hair. A wide range of shades - from dark chocolate to light-blond - allows you to create unique highlights and volume.
- Balayazh. The most spectacular of all this technique looks on short dark strands. The tips are painted in natural colors - chocolate, beige, coffee, honey.
- Reverse way. Technique for those who want to return to naturalness. Also this type is used to correct unsuccessful staining. The essence of the type of highlighting is that the strands are painted in accordance with the color of the roots.
- Shatush. Another gentle way to create the volume and depth of color on the "sun-baked strands." Lightening is done in a chaotic manner, and smoothness is achieved due to the maximum feathering of the color.
- Glare strands. Most of all, this method is suitable not for brunettes, but for brown-haired women. To emphasize the hairstyle used coffee shade, cocoa color, cinnamon, caramel.
The traditional form of staining. The classic of the genre suggests that the coloring is carried out along the entire length - from root to tip. In order to achieve a more natural and pleasant looking effect, strands are colored no more than 5 mm thick.1. Red and Red
“Let's start with the most difficult. The reddish tint of hair looks spectacular only if the dyeing is done in three colors: the darkest at the roots, the stretch is lighter in length and the brightening of the tips.
@guy_tang
The general rule for fair-skinned girls: no lilac and red hues, only copper and with a golden sheen. But dark-skinned, I, on the contrary, recommend shades of mahogany, plum and wine. ”
“Platinum blond, which has been in fashion for so long, is actually a unit, I want to emphasize this. In order for platinum to look stylish, you must have flawless alabaster skin, bright eyebrows and eyelashes, large expressive eyes. This is an almost non-existent combination.
It is much better and more natural to choose a warm blond. For fair-haired and light-eyed girls, a win-win solution - honey or wheat shades, for owners of medium hair shades - light brown and dark blonde - a more reddish, amber version is optimal.
@guy_tang
General rule: the darker the skin and darker the eyes - the more orange pigment should be in shade, the eyes and skin are lighter - the colder the tone is to pick. ”
“You do not know how to paint - choose ombre, this is my credo. Leaving the shade at the roots, the master with a brush will apply a lightening compound to the strands, pulling out the "stripes", which will give the effect of voluminous strands that shimmer in the sun.
It is important to start the clarification not at 2–3 cm from the roots, as some nonprofessionals do, but at a distance of 5–7 cm at least!
@guy_tang
And another tip: make the first ombra not too contrasting, because for several days the color from the straightened strands will still be washed out, so the end result will be lighter, something that you will see immediately after dyeing. ”
“Owners of dark hair are the most fortunate! First, they have the healthiest hair. Secondly, the risk of making a mistake with color is the least: returning to the original one will take neither effort nor time.
Thirdly, dark hair “gratefully” takes pigment and lasts longer tone. I love the shades of coffee and chocolate - they all go and look gorgeous! I refrain from asking for ashy tones, hair can look dusty, poorly washed. ”
@guy_tang
“I really ask you to include this item, because lately more and more I have been asked to dye my hair gray. It's not beautiful! This is old!
If you like the gray tint itself, add it to the dark strands, make a fashionable salt and pepper coloring. But not all the hair! ”
@guy_tang
And what coloring is perfect for you?Share in the comments!
1. Do not change color dramatically
“Unless you decided to dye your hair blue-black. Even if you want to radically change the image, move in stages and lighten your hair (or darken it) by no more than 2 tones at a time. Why is that? The fact is that the final result will be influenced not only by the dye that the stylist puts on your hair, but also by your own natural pigment. Accordingly, the shade may turn out to be more red or ashen than expected. Gradual staining will allow for the timely adjustment of unwanted undertones. One day you can lighten up to three times (each time in two tones). "
2. Do not be afraid to wash
“If earlier bleaching compositions were very aggressive, then modern technologies that I use in my studio, for example, allow us to rather gently rid the hair of pigment without damaging their texture so much. The system is called Olaplex. When bleaching or dying, the inner bonds in the hair structure are broken, which makes it brittle. Olapleks “repairs” them at the molecular level, restores dry and damaged hair, restores their elasticity, nourishes split ends and removes static electricity. But after applying the wash with Olaplex, the natural base pigment becomes visible, and for me, as a stylist, it is much easier to achieve the desired result. ”
3. Bring photos
“It is a pity that few bring with them magazines or photos from Instagram to show what color they want. Explanations in words can confuse anyone. You call one color “golden hazel” and your friend another — and I can imagine something else at all. So it will be more convenient for everyone if you just show a photo in which that same perfect hair color is captured! ”
4. Do not deceive the master
“In my practice, there was a terrible case when a client asked to turn her from a burning brunette into a brown-haired one, and did not warn her that she had recently done a perm. I applied a bleaching compound, and my hair just fell off almost at the very roots! If I knew that her hair was not natural, I would discourage radical staining for at least a year, so that her hair would recover, or he would perform restorative procedures, make a hair diagnosis so that everything would go as sparingly as possible. In no case do not hide from the masters that you have been doing with your hair lately! ”
5. Call a spade a spade
“Believe me, no one will laugh you if you honestly admit that you painted the roots with the cheapest paint. In order for the further process to go as planned, the master needs to know which manufacturer’s products you used, what color gave that color to your hair, how often you dyed your hair before, how much gray hair you actually have. All these questions are asked solely for your own good! And if for some reason the master did not ask for anything of the kind, take the initiative and tell about everything yourself. ”
6. Get ready to change plans
“It happens quite often: the client wants to leave me, say, ashy blonde, and I look at her red hair and understand that the desired result will not be achieved not only today, but perhaps never. That is, I, of course, can etch her hair to a lifeless state and toned, but in my opinion, this is a crime before the client, because in a couple of weeks her hair will grow red, and it will be impossible to repaint them after such a chemical attack. Therefore, if the master tells you that the desired is not available, do not rush to change the salon or demand a complaint book, most likely, the stylist cares about you. ”
7. Have patience to get perfect hair color.
“The desired hair color is not always visible immediately. Careful dyeing with modern dyes sometimes goes so delicately that it takes a week! This concerns, of course, clarification. Let's say that on the first day after dyeing it may seem that the hair has remained too dark, but with each washing of the head the color will be washed out, and in 7-10 days the same one that you dreamed about will appear. ”
Features of painting dark (black), light (white) and light brown strands: for short, medium and long hair
If it so happens that you naturally have reddish strands, then highlighting on red hair can be done by various methods: using chemical means for dyeing individual strands, or painting the whole head of hair with different versions of coloring agents.
If you have strands of dyed and reddish highlights on light brown hair, it is not the first time to be done at all, there is a certain risk here.
Risk factors and contraindications are highlighted in this list:
Choosing a paint shade
Highlighting red strands is not carried out at random, then you have to start from a natural color. Shades of red hair experts divide the red curls into such scales:
If you have the first option, it is better to choose a cold color for highlighting. The second shade is suitable ocher color or the addition of bright colors of the blonde. The latter option makes it possible to experiment: orange orange and fiery colors and dyeing of individual strands are suitable here. By the way, adding red strands of different shades was called American highlighting.
Highlighting methods for red hair with and without bangs
Given the fact that red curls have the most natural thickness highlighting of this option to be carried out with a certain specificity of the process. Applying paint to the surface of the curls will have to keep under the very edge of the allotted time, because otherwise it will not fall on the hair. In order to be clarified with high quality, choose means that are concentrated so that the percentage is at least 12. The specifics of the highlighting is no less dependent on how you are going to carry out the staining:
If you are used to wearing short strands, then the method using the cap is just for you. In the event that this event is held at home in advance to buy a hat, if you take a highlighting kit, it will be there. Ask at the nearest pharmacy, where they will tell you what this kind of hat should look like.
If you are going to use foil, then keep in mind that this process is not an example more difficult, but with it it will turn out to dye hair of medium length and more. Prepare for this event in advance buy a special foil. You will also need a brush for applying paint; it is sold in specialized cosmetic stores, so it’s easy to find work.
Care for dyed red hair
After you have done painting or highlighting your new curls have to watch and care. In this case, you will be able to keep the color and structure in this form for a long time. First of all, every cosmetic product that you use must be focused on dyed hair. If you had to do the brightening before painting, then do not forget to make a pair of moisturizing masks to fix the hair. In that case, when you use daily ironing and hair dryer, you will have to abandon them for a couple of weeks until the strands are restored.
Red hair is a gift for every beauty.
Now you know enough information to start painting red hair. And we will once again recall that highlighting will help bring a redhead into the image or refresh the fashionable red hair.

Bangs are not recommended, for example, if the client has very curly hair, because it will require too careful maintenance and long-term installation daily. A bang is a successful solution when there is a task to change radically, without changing the length of the hair, or if there is a task to hide some flaws on the face. In addition, the bangs are suitable for visual correction of high hairline (high forehead).

Alexey: Now popular are short haircuts with asymmetry in the bangs area. This is an active layering, texturing, which, when styled, gives the haircut an “explosive” look.
If you still decide on a short haircut, then you need to prepare for the fact that this haircut requires regular updates, otherwise it will look messy. How often do I need to visit the salon to update the haircut? Answer this question will also help hairdressers tips.
Justlaady: Is there a refresh interval for a short haircut? How often in this case do you need to have a haircut to always look well-groomed?
Alexey: Update haircut is recommended once a month. And this applies not only to a short haircut. But there are cases when the individual characteristics of hair growth require more frequent care.

But if the hair is long, then how to decide on the frequency of visits to the master hairdresser? Or maybe you can do without his services? Hair Care Tips from professionals will give an answer to this question.
Justlaady: Do I need to periodically trim the tips of the hair, if they do not look "tired"?

How to dye your hair: tips stylists
1. Never do it yourself Your hair is darker or lighter than more than two shades of natural color! If you want to turn from a dark brown-haired woman into a blonde, go to a hairdresser, do not risk doing it at home.
I know a lot of women who were horrified after the result of self-dyeing 😕
2. Don't expect that your hair will be the same color as that shown on the dye package. Photos shown on the boxes may not be true. Be sure to read the instructions on how to dye your hair - there are certainly mentioned the different results of dyeing that you get, depending on the initial color of your hair (chestnut, blond, black), its intensity (light, medium, dark). Even shades are often mentioned (golden, ashen, etc.).
3. "Warm" or "Cold"
No, this is not a description of the breeze outside or the temperature of the tea in the cup - this is the type you are referring to 😉 Naturally, most of you certainly consider yourself “warm”, but let's hasten to explain - this does not apply to character or temperament - it's just the color that suits you best.
You are “warm”if your skin is golden, olive or dark (this category includes most latinas, blacks and asians) if you tan quickly and easily, the veins on the inside of your wrist are greenish and the eyes are brown or dark.
You are “cold”if you have fair skin, blue or green eyes, you “burn” in the sun, avens have a shade closer to blue. If those and other phenomena are characteristic of you, you are probably nearer the “warm” type.
4.How to choose the right shade of hair
If the skin is warm in color, choose caramel (bronze, golden) shades slightly darker than skin color. Avoid the charcoal black color that will most likely make your face "blurry." If you choose a golden shade, avoid too light shades that can make your hair orange.
Can a girl of "warm" type to become a blonde? Yes, it can, but only with the help of a professional stylist, and not independently.
If your type is “cold”, avoid gold, auburn or copper shades. They only unfavorably underline your blush. Ash light and cold brown colors will suit you best.
When you go to the salon, ask the stylist to offer you samples. First, choose the colors that seem most attractive to you, then attach them to the face near the window, from which natural light comes best. Ask your stylist to help you determine which shades and tones look best with your skin, and give recommendations on how to dye your hair.
Basic rule: people who were blonde in childhood, the most suitable candidates for this color. You should not take it literally - if you were not blond angels before, this does not mean that you cannot become them now! You just need to consult with a professional about this, because the defiantly light color may be too sharp for you, the stylist will be able to choose an alternative - warmer light shades.
Keep in mind - dark shades are almost always more suited to hazel or green eyes than light shades.
4. What to do if you wanted to become red?
Almost all are shades of red, it is only necessary to resort to the help of a professional who will select it individually for you.
5. Caution with gray hair!
Gray hair can resist coloring due to its coarse structure. Many women hide their gray hair behind a light color. If your hair is gray by a third or less, use your natural shade (slightly lighter or darker) – gray hair will become invisible.
6. Help. I dyed my hair and it looks awful!
This expression can be yours if you try to change the color without the necessary knowledge about how to dye hair. If this has already happened, do not despair - in the cabin will quickly eliminate your mistakes 😉
Beautiful and healthy hair to you!
