Send

Few girls can boast curly hair, in contrast to even curls with them there are not so many variants of hairstyles. And to transform your image and breathe a fresh stream into it, I want everyone. A great solution is to highlight curly hair, it is suitable for those who do not want to change their color drastically, but wish to dilute their natural shade with lighter tones. Such changes will suit girls at any age, but the choice of the shade of partial coloring should be chosen taking into account the type and length of hair, as well as the oval of the face.

Who is highlighting?

On curly hair, this procedure will provide an opportunity to get:

additional volume (after dyeing, color and various transitions are visually stretched vertically, this becomes possible through the use of several tones),
bright and spectacular hair,
correct the shape of the face, visually eliminating its angularity or roundness,
hide gray hair, which can occur at any age,
to grow strands so that their natural color becomes noticeable, thus there is no need to tint the roots,
to rejuvenate any woman, and also skillfully hide skin imperfections.

This coloring affects the curls gently, does not affect their roots, it can be updated as desired, if the shade got tired, then it can be either repainted or clipped from the grown hair. The only thing is that for such a responsible procedure you need to find an experienced hairdresser, as it costs expensive and repainting immediately after it is unacceptable.

In the video - a description of the highlighting procedure:

There are many methods of such coloring, every year they are becoming more and more, but not all are suitable for curly hair, given the unusual structure of the curls and their waviness, not after all staining the game of shades will look beautiful. Suitable highlighting options for curls are:

Balayazh. Looks great on medium and long curls. It is recommended to be used on such haircuts as a square, cascade, bob-square and ladder. The technique involves staining individual strands, with significant retreats from the roots. The master as if stretches a new shade along the entire length of the curls, without creating contrasting transitions.

How do they highlight curly curls?

At first, the master chooses oxygene and dye, which can create light strands, for this purpose he has in his arsenal tonics that brighten powders, wax dyes, used specifically for highlighting or bezammiyachnye paints. Dark-colored dyes are selected for fair-haired girls, they are used without an oxidizing agent. Dark-haired and dark-colored girls may go to the hairdresser more than once, as it will be difficult to achieve the desired color in a single paint application. Each of the above painting techniques involves its own stages of applying and holding the paint.

Technique "Frost"

At the preparatory stage, the hair is washed with shampoo, then dried with a hair dryer, while the head should be slightly tilted forward to achieve a larger volume and lift all the hairs.

Then the coloring process itself takes place:

Dilution of the illuminator and the dye, you need to maintain a proportion of 1 to 1, in some cases they are bred in other ratios, if they want to achieve a certain shade.
The tips of the curls are treated with an oxidizing agent, making circular motions, while the strands are placed on the foil. Sometimes the composition is applied to the hair with the tips of the fingers, which are wearing gloves.
To make softer transitions, you need to discard the foil so that the coloring matter interacts with oxygen. using foil creates contrasting joints between tones.
To fix the color on the curls, the paint is left on them for 40 minutes, and then washed off with heated water, without stretching the length of the strands.
Use a balm or rinse on herbs.
Since the use of an oxidizing agent can lead to the appearance of a yellow shade on the hair, it is necessary to carry out toning, using mousses and tinted tonic for these purposes.

Highlighting hair from the inside

This technique is in trend today, experienced masters practice it for everyone, delighting them with the result.

To create it you need to go through the following steps:

The upper strands are carefully detached from the lower curls and fixed with clips.
Separate strands from the lower layer of hair, which are stained with chaotic strokes of paint.
Then separate the individual curls from the total mass again, apply the clarifier to them.
Leave the oxidizer to appear for half an hour and then rinse the curls.

Balayazh staining

All hair is carefully combed and separated into strands up to 4 cm thick, then the highlighting process goes like this:

Divided curls tied into tails and fixed with elastic bands, about 10 cm below the eyes.
The lower parts of the hair, separated by a rubber band to paint and wrap in foil.
Wait half an hour and release the curls from the foil.
Using a brush to shade the paint residues through the hair above the elastic, and leave the dye for another 10 minutes.
Wash your hair with shampoo, apply conditioner to hair.

Those who want after this technique to get a strong contrast of tones should use a foam sponge.

When performing highlighting on curly curls, it is necessary to take into account that their structure is more porous than on even hair, therefore the dye absorbs faster, which is why it needs to be prepared more, but it is possible to withstand coloring compositions in less time. This will protect the strands from dryness and loss of gloss. The visible effect of highlighting on curls can be achieved either with a contrasting paint or one that is two shades lighter than the natural color.

Features curly hair

Recently in the world of salon painting they prefer to create images that are as close as possible to natural ones. For this purpose, they use the color of individual strands in colors with gold, caramel and honey shades, which allow to reach the sun glare. On curly curls, this kind of painting looks the best way.

Highlighting on curly hair makes it possible to:

get additional volume due to the vertical color stretching and the use of several tones,
make your hair bright, showy and dynamic,
hide the imperfections of the skin and significantly rejuvenate the owner,
correct the shape of the face oval, removing angularity or roundness,
disguise the gray hair that is just beginning to manifest itself
grow your curls, because you do not need to tint the roots often.

The only drawback of this type of staining is the high cost of the procedure, primarily due to the novelty and popularity of individual techniques.

An important point! If you have naturally wavy curls, this means that they have a more porous structure. Therefore, the selected dye is much faster activated on them. In this case, experienced craftsmen are trying to reduce the exposure time of the clarifier.

Highlighting on curly strands is contraindicated in the case of:

prior staining with henna or basma (6 months have not passed since painting),
a chemical perm made earlier (since chemicals have a detrimental effect on curls, you need to wait at least a month and then bleach the strands),
pregnancy and lactation (due to the use of ammonia dyes and perhydrol, which is part of the oxygenator, not only the mother’s body, but also the child’s body can be harmed)
allergic reactions to chemicals contained in the paint (be sure to test the pigment for allergies, which will appear as a reddening of the skin or swelling) before dyeing with a specific dye.

It is also not recommended to perform highlighting on strands previously dyed with permanent dye. If you have already decided to take this step, choose the correct brightener and dye.

Select the right technique

Among the various highlighting options, only a few will look spectacular on wavy hairstyles. Among them:

Balayazh. Suitable for long and medium hair lengths. Maximum disclosed on graded haircuts (ladder, square, bob-square, cascade). Provides for staining of individual locks, making a significant indentation from the roots. Vertical stretching of color without contrasting edges occurs. See how dynamically and brightly the highlight look appears on the shoulder-length curls.
"Frost". Specially created for curls. A fairly simple procedure for applying the composition with your fingertips. Pre-hair is washed and blow-dried. No need to comb or separate strands. See how beautiful and extraordinary look curled hair, dyeing which was carried out in the technique of "frost" in the following photos.
Peek-a-Boo. This option will suit slightly curled short curls. Thanks to the highlighting of the bangs and strands of the temple, dynamism and volume are achieved, while staining is more gentle.
Partial coloring as a "veil". It assumes highlighting only the upper layer of hair. Soft transitions of shades from top to bottom are achieved.
"Illuminations". Provides for painting the lower curled strands in color, a few tones lighter than the base. Due to such soft transitions can achieve the effect of highlighting the hair.
Highlighting through the braid. The master of the salon braids several braids along the entire length, on which a pigment is applied with a brush. When the hair is spread out, you get beautiful chaotic vertical lines, successfully intertwined with natural wavy strands.
Venetian highlighting. Assumes chaotic feathering of paint on selected strands. Drying takes place outdoors without the use of foil.

All these methods involve incomplete staining, which is why highlighting is a gentle way to get a rich and bright color.

Procedure cost

Salon coloring will cost you 2000-8000 thousand rubles. This cost is affected by:

selected technique (for example, partial dyeing will be cheaper than balayazh or Venetian highlighting),
professional dye and additional procedures (use of vitamins, applying balsam-conditioner, post-care with applying a regenerating mask),
the prestige of the cabin and the novelty of the coloring option
the length of your curls.

TFor girls who do not tolerate hairdressing and want to save money, we will advise you to do the coloring yourself. For this, it is advisable to arm yourself with the help of a mother or girlfriend, watch a couple of videos and follow our further recommendations. To dye curls at home, you will need an oxidizing agent (at least 200 rubles), a dye (450-950) rubles.

Color matching

Selection of color is carried out depending on the color type:

girls with pale skin and bright eyes should choose “cold” shades (ashy, graphite, muted salmon or Nordic blond),
beauties with peach skin and any pigmentation of the pupils are suitable warm colors (all shades of gold, beige, red),
for red-haired ladies amber or cognac shades will be the best option,
Blondes we will recommend to use any shades of blond, as well as a nutty color for reverse highlighting.

We select the tone for blondes and light blond

Red-haired beauties, we recommend:

Highlighting on dark curls

Important! If fair-haired girls for a more harmonious image is recommended to paint the strands in colors 2-3 shades darker or lighter than the base color, then brunettes should resort to more contrast tones.

Perform staining procedure

Before the procedure, you need to choose the right dye and oxigen. Want to spend clarification pryadok, get:

brightening powder
oxygenator and tonic
cream paint together with an oxidant,
special wax paints for highlighting,
ammonia-free dyes that can shade the color of several shades.

To fair-haired beauties who wish to shade their hair in a darker color, it makes no sense to acquire an oxidizer.

When choosing an oxigen, follow these guidelines:

you have light blond thin curls, buy 3% oxygenant,
brown hair with a normal hair type will suit 6-9% reagent,
girls with hard and dark hair for clarification will have to pick up a 12% oxidizer.

Remember! If you have very dark curls, and you want to achieve a blond blond hair, you may have to lighten several times.

Having decided on the coloring technique and pigment color, you need to arm yourself with a couple of hours of free time and carefully follow our advice.

Coloring with the help of the “Frost” technique

Before applying the dye, wash your hair well with the shampoo that you always use. Dry the curls with a hairdryer - it is advisable to tilt your head to achieve maximum lifting of the hairs and a larger volume. To fix the effect, you can sprinkle your hair with lacquer.
Dilute the dye with a clarifier in a 1: 1 ratio (other options are possible, so read the instructions).
Using the foil, the oxidizer is distributed to the tips of the curls in circular motions. You can also apply the composition with finger pads, pre-protected them with gloves.
If you want the color transition to be softer, do not wrap the curls in foil, leaving the dye to interact with oxygen. To create contrast transitions, professionals recommend wrapping the strands in foil.
Stand 30-40 minutes depending on the expected effect.
Wash curls under running warm water and be sure to moisten with balm rinse.

If you used only the brightener, then to remove the yellowness and give a special color to your curls, be sure to spend toning. To this end, you can take tonic tonic, mousse and balms.

Expert Council. The toning procedure is best done the next day after dyeing, allowing your curls to recover from lightening.

Create a highlight hair from the inside

The trend of the current season is a partial coloring of the strands, which are located on the lower layers of curls.

Stages of staining:

Select the top layer of curls and stab it with clamps.
Using a comb with a sharp end, separate the bottom layer of strands that cannot be dyed (we don’t touch it).
Choose not very thick strands, 0.5 cm thick and paint them with chaotic strokes.
Separate a thin layer of curls again and similarly carry out the staining of the strands.
Leave the applied dye activated in the fresh air - 30-40 minutes.
Wash your head.

If you want the image to be as harmonious as possible, do not try to choose strands of the same thickness.

Properly care for the hair

As you know, highlighting, although it is considered a gentle option for staining, it still destroys the curls, making them dry, brittle and lifeless. To avoid this, follow our advice:

Be sure to moisturize the hair after dyeing with a balm or conditioner-rinse, because the hair loses moisture during the procedure,
try to eliminate the use of hair dryers, pleyok and irons,
do not brush even wet curls and do not try to dry them with rubbing movements on a towel,
shear cut ends
You can carry out the procedure of lamination and shielding of hair, which will give them shine and vitality,
don't often wash your hair, otherwise you risk quickly removing color,
make homemade regenerating masks (based on lemon juice, honey, kefir, egg yolk),
rinse your head after each wash with a decoction of chamomile, oak bark, burdock roots,
eat right, because the health of the hair comes from the inside.

Council If you want the pigment to stay in your curls for a long time, then do not use deep-acting reducing agents, namely burdock, coconut and olive oil.

The next highlighting can be done only after 3 months.

Do not rush to the first available technique, because not all options for staining can suit you. Professional experts recommend making highlights on curly curls in the technique of "frost", "balayazh", "Venetian" and "illumination".

Benefits of highlighting hair ↑

So, first of all here I want to highlight the positive aspects of this method.
• The fact is that quite often fashionable women are afraid to make dramatic changes in appearance and therefore avoid staining. When we talk about highlighting, then not the entire volume of the hair is affected, but only a small part of it, so this change of onion does not cause any fear.
• Due to the fact that the color of the strands becomes non-uniform, the hair gets additional volume. This is especially true for owners of curly hairstyles, which in themselves are visually quite large, and with highlighting, this effect becomes even more pronounced.

• If the curls conceal flaws in the shape of the face, the highlighting also favorably affects its color. The skin looks more well-groomed, smooth, and its shade evens out.
• This procedure also does not require constant embellishments and the like. It will be enough for you to make highlighting only once, and the next update will be required only in a few months.
• By the way, such coloring is often used when they want to grow their hair, but their color is different from the current one, the procedure will perfectly hide the uneven shade.
• Also highlighting will be highly appreciated by older women who face the problem of the appearance of gray hair. Competently chosen color and coloring technique will allow not only to hide such age-related manifestations of quality, but also significantly rejuvenate and give your image freshness.

Disadvantages of hair highlighting ↑

Of course, the disadvantages of this procedure are insignificant, but they still exist and it is impossible not to mention them.
• First of all, it is a rather high complexity of such coloring and duration of its implementation. Independently making highlighting is practically unrealistic, so be prepared for the fact that you will still have to go to the salon and turn to an experienced specialist, from whose professionalism the final result will depend.

• Despite the fact that the procedure is carried out only on certain areas of the hair, and not on the whole volume, coloring agents do cause some harm. Of course, this cannot be compared with a full-fledged bleaching procedure or something like that, but you still have to care for the hair after highlighting. For example, apply on them nutrients and regenerating agents.
• Also, if we are talking about hair dyeing with a large amount of gray hair, then some difficulties may arise. Scales of gray hair are very tightly pressed and therefore the composition is simply not able to penetrate. In addition, keeping highlights on gray hair is not too long, which means the need to constantly update the hairstyle.

Features of highlighting on wavy hair ↑

Often owners of curls think that highlighting on their head will not look properly or will not work at all. In a refutation of this prejudice, there are many photo-examples, where captured curly hair is etched, which looks extremely aesthetically pleasing and beautiful.
In fact, the final result depends not only on the experience of the master, but also on the coloring technique he has chosen. Now there are a huge number of them, but the so-called “Frost” technique is most often used. This type was specially created for curly hair and allows you to get a truly high-quality hair.
In addition, we should not forget that the hair, which is naturally wavy, has a fairly porous structure. This means that the coloring and bleaching compositions easily penetrate into the hair and act much faster. That is why experienced craftsmen reduce the exposure time of hair on the scalp.

Regarding the shade, which is selected when conducting highlighting on curly hair, here the recommendations are similar to the standard procedure. If the hair is dark, then choose the color of the paint, which is two tones lighter, giving preference to light brown or chestnut.
Compliance with this rule allows you to get a very natural hairstyle. The wavy structure will further enhance this effect and will give an incredible amount of hair.

Who should not do highlighting on curly hair ↑

There are a number of restrictions for highlighting on curly hair and they are associated primarily with previous cosmetic procedures.

So, if you become the owner of curls thanks to a chemical perm, then highlighting is contraindicated to you until the hair is fully restored. By itself, the chemistry rather detrimental effect on the strands, if during the recovery period to make also highlighting, then there is a great chance to cause irreparable damage to hair or to lose it altogether.
It should also be carefully carried out highlighting after dyeing with henna. It is best to wait for some time, which one - the master will indicate to you, since it directly depends on the peculiarities of the hair coat, and only then proceed to the procedure.
And the last case, which is rather not a contraindication, but a warning - the period of pregnancy. At this point, the hormones are rearranged in the woman’s body, so no one can say with absolute certainty that the highlighting will take place as it should and the paint will fall with the same intensity. Quite often, experts are faced with the fact that part of the hair is painted well, and the other is not taken at all. Hair color during pregnancy is associated with risk. That is why it is better to avoid such procedures during pregnancy.

Technique of highlighting procedure “Frost” ↑

Almost all masters, when clients come to them with curly hair and ask them to make highlights, prefer this technique. This is not surprising, since it was created specifically for curls and the results of such coloring are amazing.
1. Hair washed with shampoo and dried well with a hair dryer. It is necessary to achieve maximum volume, therefore drying is usually done in a slope in order to raise the hair properly. A small amount of lacquer is applied for fixation.
2. With the help of foil, a brightening compound is applied to the tips with circular motions.
3. Now the head of hair with an oxidizing agent is left for a period of half an hour to an hour, depending on which mode of highlighting the master chose - closed or open.
4. Now the hair is washed and either a dyeing composition is applied or the moisturizing balm is distributed over the surface of the hair, and then the necessary hairstyle is formed.

If we sum up, we can state the fact that highlighting on curls is an excellent opportunity to give your hair more volume and change your style, without harming your health.

Glare. This technique implies minimal staining, in which the master touches only the curls outside the paint. The depth of the hair remains intact, due to which highlighting looks natural and at ease.
Ombre. This method of coloring is suitable for owners of slightly wavy hair. As part of the procedure, the strands are lightened gradually: dark roots blend seamlessly with bright tips. Due to this, the transition is almost invisible, so highlighting looks natural and harmonious.
Shatush. It is an ideal technique for thin and loose curly hair. When it uses two light, similar to each other shades. As a result, the strands look impressive and bright.

Having conceived to decorate hair with light tints, familiarize yourself with the contraindications for the procedure. These include:

Perm. It already harms the hair, and the additional coloring will make them generally lifeless and brittle.
Henna hair pre-coloring. Because of this, the means of paint will not lie as you want, or the color does not appear at all. Therefore, before highlighting, it is better to wait at least 3 months.
Childbearing. During this period, the woman's body is rebuilt, and even the most experienced master can not predict how the paint will fall.
Weakened and damaged hair. The effect of the procedure may not be as expected. After coloring, the curls usually take on a “burned” look, as if they were burned out in the sun.

Prepare in advance all the necessary tools, including a comb for highlighting. But before that it is worth knowing what it should be and what it is made of.

Instructions for the procedure

There are many means by which you can partially lighten hair. These are powders, wax paints for highlighting and with an oxidizing agent, tonic and oxygenating agent. When choosing the latter, you need to look at whether it is compatible with your type of strands.

For fair-haired girls with thin curls suitable 3% oxigen. Women with brown color and normal hair type are advised to choose 6–9% reagent. For hard and black, you need a strong 12% oxidizer. It should be borne in mind that brunettes for highlighting need to lighten the strands several times.

Depending on the technique chosen, the hair dyes evenly along the entire length or randomly separate strands. The width of the curls should be from 3 to 5 mm. The thinner they are, the more natural the coloring will be.

You can paint through a cap or foil. Each of the methods has its advantages. The first one is suitable if you are new to dyeing and you have short hair, as it is simpler. It requires a minimum of devices. The second is a professional method, and it guarantees getting a professional result, but this requires experience and skill.

Through the cap

The method of coloring through the cap is also called “feathers”. For this method, you need a special device - a cap made of durable polyethylene. It can be done at home. Take the usual shower cap and scissors make a slot in it. Holes must be staggered.

Comb your hair and tightly tie a hat on your head like a cap.
Using the hook, pull the individual strands through the slots.
When all strands will be threaded, lighten them with the help of the composition.
Apply the paint evenly to the hair, making sure that each curl is dyed.
Soak the tool for a specified time and carefully wash off the paint, removing its remnants from the skin.

This method is preferable for short hair - they can make an interesting emphasis.

Coloring with a hat is ideal for girls who paint them for the first time. It can be carried out independently at home.

Choose this method of dyeing if you have long and curly strands. You will need a thick cooking foil and brush, latex gloves, a ceramic or glass container for mixing paint, a cape. Suitable as an ordinary culinary, as professional hairdresser foil. It is used in order not to accidentally paint over unnecessary strands.

Do not wash your hair two days before the procedure. If you want to make a coloring with several colors, prepare a foil of different shades. So you do not get confused. You can highlight with foil like this:

Cut a large number of strips of foil. Fold each of them from one edge to make a pocket that prevents paint from flowing.
Wear protective gloves.
Spread curly hair into small strands, starting at the back of the head. Since there they are darker, then pay special attention to this area. Sharing strands, move to the parietal and temporal areas. To the rest of the curls do not interfere, remove them, stabbed with clips. If you are uncomfortable, ask someone to evenly split the curls. At the same time use a convenient thin comb-needle.It is important that it is not made of metal - this material reacts with the paint, so the result of staining can be unpredictable.
Well comb the strands from the roots to the tips. To get a strong highlighting, paint them over the entire area. For a weaker effect, apply paint through one strand in a thin layer. So that the hair has a subtle contrast of color, paint every third strand.
Paint the separated curls from bottom to top, without affecting the root zone. You can use both the brush and holds the procedure with your fingers.
To secure the foil to the strands, fix it with hairpins or stealth.
Wash off the paint after the time indicated in the instructions - usually it is 40 minutes for dark hair and 20 minutes for light hair.

Techniques that are not recommended

In addition to suitable techniques, there are also those that are completely unsuitable for curly hair. Professional stylists and hairdressers do not recommend the following types of highlighting:

Shatush.

Most often used on smooth black curls.

Shatush will be almost invisible on curly strands, which is why it is not recommended to do it. American This type of highlighting looks gorgeous on even hair, but does not fit curly and curly at all.

With this type of modified curls can have any length and width. On curly hair, this effect looks chaotic and completely does not decorate the hair. Veil. This technique looks great on short haircuts.

She, like a veil envelops the upper part of the curls. The technique of the veil is completely unacceptable for curly strands, because in this case the colored curls will constantly change their location.

If you are going to make highlighting, you need to determine in advance which technique will be more to the face. If you have doubts, you need to dispel them, after talking with experienced stylists or hairdressers.

Carrying out the procedure depending on the color of the strands - dark, light and other things.

The technology of highlighting should be chosen not only depending on the length and type of hair, but also depending on the color.

Owners light curls highlighting is best. It is very important to choose the optimal tones that are well combined with natural color. Even if the colored strands differ by two colors from the main color, the hairstyle will look stylish and beautiful. In addition, the blond hair very original look strands of bright color: red, purple, pink.

On light brown hair highlighting also looks very impressive. Separate techniques allow you to make hair lush and voluminous. In this case, you should choose tones similar to the color of natural strands. Shades must harmoniously coincide, otherwise the whole idea may be lost. Californian and French technics look great on blond hair.

For dark hair fit almost all the techniques. At their discretion, girls can allocate either individual strands, or change the entire hairstyle. Owners of dark hair are also lucky that their natural color can be diluted with completely different shades.

The best option for black hair are contrasting techniques. In this case, you can use several tones at once. This will help to update the hairstyle, make it more fresh. Smooth transitions from black to lighter, will allow for a long time not to dye your hair.

Natural ginger colour is quite rare in humans. However, despite this, this category of beauties is also very highlighting. Girls with the same hair color as shades should choose: chestnut, honey, chocolate or caramel.

Is it important to take into account the length of the curls?

The features of highlighting depend not only on the color, but also on the length of the curls. There are techniques that are used exclusively for short hair, just as there are options that are completely unsuitable for long hair.

Short curls. On such hair highlighting looks very stylish and colorful. It has many positive aspects. For example, it makes the hairstyle more expressive, allows you to form a new image, in addition to:

Sometimes in order to choose the best option you need to view a lot of photos, look through a bunch of magazines and discuss all the features with qualified hairdressers.

What is the algorithm of action?

The texture of curly hair is slightly different from the straight, so the type of coloring of these strands is slightly different. It is best to give your beautiful curls to professionals, but if there is no such possibility, then you can perform the highlighting procedure at home.

First you need to cut the foil. The length of the foil strips should be 2-3 cm longer than the length of the strand.
Then, on each strip the edge is bent.
Due to this, the coloring or lightening composition does not leak to the skin.
During dyeing it is better that the strands are smooth. To do this, curls can be wet or pre-align.
Foil should be applied to the roots of the hair. The selected curl is placed on the foil, and the coloring agent is applied on top.
After the paint application process ends, the curl is wrapped in foil. For greater convenience, it can be fastened with special clips.
All curls are processed in the same way.
After dyeing all the strands, the paint must be aged. Since the texture of curly hair is much weaker than even, keep the paint on the curls, too, need less.
Wash strands need to be alternately, working through each curl, so that the coloring or brightening agent does not fall on the adjacent strands.

And so on the photo look curly curls after the procedure.

How long does the result last?

The stability of the hairstyle will depend on the coloring agent.which was used as well as on the speed of hair growth. Yes, strands will gradually grow and if you have a desire to extend the life of your hairstyle, they will have to be tinted periodically.

Conclusion

It would seem that highlighting is a very simple procedure. Perhaps it is, but in order for it to be successful, there are a lot of different factors to be considered.

In order for this procedure to succeed, you must select a good master.

What highlighting techniques are suitable for curly and wavy hair?

The main problem of curly hair is that the highlighting is simply lost among curls, and all the efforts of the hairdresser are reduced to nothing. But a true professional does not have such problems. He knows which techniques are suitable for curly curls and will definitely offer them to you to choose from.

The classic kind of highlighting, which has another, more romantic name: "Hair, kissed by the sun." Do it like this: stained with thin strands staggered (one), the result is the effect of burnt hair, as if kissed by the sun. This technique allows you to emphasize the structure and volume of curly locks.

An interesting technique that does not require special precision from the master: he holds the dye on curls so that he does not get deep into the head of hair. As a result, only convex areas of curls are colored. It looks unusual and very natural, as if it was conceived by nature.

Ombre technology is more suitable for girls with wavy hair, without heavily curled curls. It involves a gradual lightening: from a darker color at the very roots and completely white at the tips. That is, only the tips are clarified. Due to the blur between the shades, the transition is invisible, and hairstyle looks very harmonious.

The technique that is most often used for thin curly hair. It involves the use of two light shades, similar in tone. Painted shatusha curls look expressive, bright and volume.

Things to consider before highlighting curly hair

Basically, all curly hair has a more porous structure than smooth.Because of this, they very quickly absorb the paint, so the coloring composition must be taken more and withstand less time. Hair quickly acquire the desired shade, so it is important not to overdo it, so as not to overdry and spoil it.

The paint for wavy and curly hair must be brightened by two tones in order to achieve a visible transition of shades, otherwise the color will simply be lost in the weaves of curls.

Few of the contraindications

Before decorating your hair with highlights, make sure that you have no contraindications. Namely:

curls turned out during a perm - chemistry causes great harm to hair, and additional coloring can spoil it even more,
the hair was dyed with henna - it is better to wait several months, because the color may not lie as it should,
pregnancy - during pregnancy, women undergo a variety of processes during orgasm and hormones are actively rearranged, so even the most experienced master will not be able to predict how the paint will fall and whether it will be taken at all.

If none of these points is about you, feel free to experiment and transform your curls.
