The blond shade of hair is sometimes called "mouse" for its ordinary and inexpressiveness. But professional hairdressers with pleasure "take into work" such a hair, because a blond color is a wide field for activity. One of the coloring options is torture.
Peculiarities
Melting is a special coloring technique, during which separate strands are allocated with a certain color. The first master who used this technique was Jacques Dusts. Classical lining implies the highlight of the strand. However, today there are many mating subspecies, up to bright and extraordinary.
This technique helps to give the hair cannut versions and complexity, but at the same time adds the naturalness of the appearance.
The choice of specific techniques and color depends on a number of factors.
Locko health
If they are difficult to call strong and healthy, it is better to abandon classic frequent melting, but to stay on zonal.
Natural color
Stranded strands should be combined with natural hair. In addition, trying too much to choose dark blond hair, you risk getting untidy yellow-red "stripes", and not a fashionable image.
On dark blonde hair looks good red, golden, nuts, strands. On the lighter tone of the blonde - the root lightening.
Length, features hairstyles
Sophisticated forming techniques are well suited for structured, multi-layer haircuts. If you do not like graduated hairstyles, it is better to choose a more modest selection.
Advantages and disadvantages
Russed young ladies usually do not boast of magnificent hair and tight hair. A highlight allows you to solve this problem - visually add volume, curl density.
However, highlighting successfully on hair of any length and type, suitable for most hairstyles. With gray strands, such staining also copes, masking them. This "pluses" of this staining technique does not end.
It is optimal for those who do not want to spoil the curls of paint. Selective strands are painted, hair roots are not affected. Simply put, felting relate to gentle technicians, it does not greatly harm the chapel, and therefore comes even for dry and breaking.
Melting loves those women who seek the naturalness of the image. Coloring looks as natural as possible - as if individual strands are slightly darker or lighter than the rest of the hair. They are beautifully flashed in the total mass and glare with different lighting.
Thanks to the special paint technology, the paint is not visible to the clear boundary between its own and painted hair. This means that, and reflect, they will not look absent. You can not attend the masters every 2-3 weeks (barely emerging the roots will appear), and it is only 1.5-2 months.
Lifeline strands in the area of the face, you can give a friendly friendly, openness. It is no coincidence that image makers and brand specialists recommend similar hairstyles to those who work with people. Only staining is able to make the image of a professional more friendly, having.
By adding and alternating light and dark strands, you can adjust the shape of the head, hide the defects of the face and, on the contrary, emphasize the dignity.
However, all these advantages are fully manifested only if the painting is performed by a professional. Otherwise, instead of a natural and elegant hairstyle, you risk getting rough and tasteless "stripes" on the hair. In this one of the "minuses" of highlighting - it is difficult, perhaps it is impossible to do it yourself.
Varieties
There are several species of highlighting. Consider the most famous and popular techniques.Classical
It is also called frequent. The essence of staining is reduced to the fact that very thin strands are taken and covered over the entire length. Usually 2 shades are used (sometimes 3-4), mainly it is a golden or platinum blond, wheat, honey, coffee with milk. That is why the effect of beautiful blonde from the nature of the hair is obtained. However, such beauty man-made and is created by professional colorists.
Jennifer Aniston can be called the most famous fan of this technique.
Classical grape may have a zonal character. It is resorted to it if the hair is badly damaged. In this case, only strands of the upper layer of hair are painted.
French
The most gelling option thanks to non-aggressive non -ammatic dye. Naturally, such paint "takes" only light strands. That is why french highlight is possible only on wheat, light-blond hair.
Colorists, as a rule, choose 2-3 shades. The result - the hair, as if with the burnt up on the sun strands. The latter add a hairstyle volume, gloss. The image is exquisite and well-groomed.
Partial
Staining is made in zones, and therefore the second name is zonal (another name - superficial). It implies the lightening of the strand around the face, in the occipital zone, which is combined with the flames of tips. The most effectively staining in this technique looks at short haircuts.
If you talk about the subtleties of technology, it should be noted that it is necessary to use a special dye - Majimes. It is produced by many brands and has a natural wax. Despite the powerful features of the means, it is considered one of the most delicate.
Brazilian-French
This method cannot be called to a complete deterioration. The fact is that first the strands are completely labeled, and then stain in 2-3 shades. The result is a kind of imitation of melting.
The method is good because it is possible to achieve the welcome hair color, despite natural data. However, the technique is suitable only for healthy hair, which are able to make preliminary discoloration.
California
All hair weight is exposed to a stretching color from darker (blonde) roots to light (sometimes almost blond) tips. California Melting is very close to Ombre technique (said stretching color through 3-4 tones), but unlike the latter does not have clear boundaries between the tones and halftones.
California technique helps to achieve naturalness, since its result is hair, as if burned in the sun. This can be seen on the hair after resting in the south, when not separate strands are blown apart, and all the hair is closer to the tips.
California Melting is suitable for both light and dark blond hair. Better if they have an average and below average. The most winning option is long hair, it is especially impressive for a stretching color.
Venetian
As a rule, this technique is used on dark blond hair, adding amber or brandy strands to the shock. Sometimes this type of timing is also called amber. To understand what we are talking about, it is enough to remember the image of the famous Jennifer Lopez.
Venetian technique gives the same effect of the hair burnt on the sun, but already on darker hair. Amber, brandy, coffee tones are added to the dark blossom lad. If the skin is warm, then it can be caramel, honey colors.
Ombre
With this type of coloring, the effects of the pigment are not at all length, but only along the horizontal line. Conditionally hair is divided into 2 parts, and highlighting starts from the middle of the length of the hair or slightly below. Tips are exposed to the greatest lighten. And the outcome of the procedure is Smooth stretching color from darker (roots) to light (tips). Especially winning Ombre looks on dark and medium-line hair below shoulders.
Colorists recommend choosing shades, which are 2-3 tones lighter with natural hair.
Ombre can be quite avant-garde. In this case, coloring is made in bright shades.
Bally
Another overbelief technique in which the tips of the hair are exposed to clarify. The coloring composition is applied to the tips like strokes, and the border between the angry roots and the cordical tips is quite pronounced (it is 6-8 tons on average).
Shatuch
Technique similar to the previous one. However, the tent is characterized by a vertical stretch of color. As in the case of equipment Ballozh, with The slazier does not affect the roots of the hair.
Coloring
When this type of timing is selected, the master works only in two colors, but it is not limited in the choice of subtocks. Coloring usually implies contrast to strands, thanks to which the brightness and originality of the appearance can be achieved.
How to choose a color?
Select the color solution follows from a natural hair shade. If the curls are darker, then brown and golden shades are well looking at them (top row in the photo). It can be such shades like brandy, honey, wheat, amber.
For brighter blonde hair, it is better to pick up a lining in white tones (bottom row in the photo). Elephant, milk, platinum, creamy, milk, platinum, creamy, will be especially successful. The strands in the color of caramel or cappuccino look no less effectively.
And if you want to get a more brave image, choose cold ash, silver. For extravagant and memorable appearance, you can choose blue, raspberry, green or other bright shades.
Sophisticated staining looks well at graded complex haircuts (cascade, for example), on various avant-garde hairstyles, asymmetric long bangs.
It is important to take into account the color of the general. So, for tanned beauties it is better not to choose cold blonds, but caramel, solar shades. At the same time, it is better to avoid warm blouse to women with cold color. Because of this, their face can acquire an unhealthy look.
Selecting paint
When choosing paint, you need to take into account the desired result, natural hair color and their condition. In general, for dark blond curls, the clarifier is chosen 9-12%. Mid-line, close to light, hair should be seen using a 6-8% clarifier. For very bright blonde hair, you should not take a clarifier, more aggressive than 3%.
In any case, it is first recommended to conduct test staining of one strand. This will make it possible to accurately decide on the dye, to establish the optimal time of its contact with curls and avoid disorders of the hair structure.
Today, you can find special sets for felting. As a rule, their composition includes everything necessary - cap, gloves, coloring composition, brush for applying and balsam for care and consolidation. Sets are usually more expensive than the "simple" paint. However, if you believe the reviews, this difference in price is completely paid off by the convenience of applying and ease of use of sets.
Staining technology
There are several coloring options.Using a cap
A special hat is put on his head with a lot of small holes. Through these holes to stretch strands. To do this, it is convenient to use wooden sticks (for example, shockts) or a regular knitting hook. You can drag a strand into each hole (option of frequent melting) or skip some holes (to obtain a more natural result). By the way, it is more convenient to start with the temporal zone, and to finish the "mining" of the strand in the occipital zone.
Then the part of the hair, which turned out to be painted outside and left on her hair for 15-30 minutes. The next step is to remove the paint, washing the head and applying to all hair (the hat should be removed) the moisturizing balm.
This method is suitable for short hair. In principle, such a method can make hair independently at home.
Using foil
The method invented by American hairdressers. Perhaps all professional hairdressers melted the hair just like that.
The essence is to divide the hair into the zones, and then on small strands. Starting with a dark part. Part of the hair should be separated by a long feet of combs, and then - more small strand isolate from the rest of the chapels. The foil strip is helping to achieve this, which is stacked by an isolated strand.
With the help of the brush, the clarifier composition is applied. The first applying should be such that the strand attached to foil. Then the composition is evenly applied over the entire length of the hair. It is important to pave foil as close to the roots as possible, and then thoroughly punish this zone.
Next, the foil strip (together with the hair in it) is collapsed in half, then the side parts are bent (hair turns out to be as packed). You can roll once again in half. As a result, something resembling an envelope should turn out.
Packed in foil hair is folded up, and strands under the "converter" are processed in the same way. It is convenient to move from the nape to the top of the top, and then paint the side strands.
Outdoor Melting With Comb
This technology is pretty simple in execution and allows you to update the hairstyle, giving hair a light effect of natural burnout strands in the sun.
To apply the coloring composition, do not use a brush, but a special brush with rare, located in 3 rows of teeth.
The composition is applied to the brush and spend her hair from the middle to the tips. It is better to do it on strands, avoiding the deliberate symmetry. After that, the paint is left for a certain amount of time, and then wash off with water.
The following methods cannot be called torture techniques in the usual understanding of the term, but they allow you to get fashionable staining.
So, to get Ombre at home you can, gather your hair in the tails. The hanging part of the hair (after gum) is stained with the composition and leave for 15-40 minutes. Coloring is produced outdoors.
Frequent lining can be done using a comb with rare teeth. They are cared for painting and carefully (on strands) combing hair.
To obtain California highlights, a strong nickel nobody is made, paint is applied to the rest. So it is possible to achieve a beautiful and smooth transition from natural roots to light tips.
The exposure time of the dye depends on the original color of the hair and the technique of the rise. On blond hair and thin strands enough to apply paint for 10-15 minutes. For dark blond shades and thick strands, contact with the dye may be required for 30-40 minutes.
Regardless of the selected technology, it is important to comply with the following rules:
- Do not apply the composition of hair painted by henna;
- If there are wounds and abrasions on the skin of the head, then you first cure them, and then begin to the melting.
- Do not melted the hair immediately after a chemical curling.
It is important to understand that color is a whole science, and not always homemade melting can be successful.
Care
Melted hair care is reduced to two tasks:
- longer save the color and result of staining;
- Protect hair from dryness, confusion.
The first couple of days after the rise is better not to wash and do not wet the hair. Let the pigment be better fixed in the hair structure. Moreover, it is necessary to refrain from visiting the pools and baths.
From the first day of coloring, nutritious balms and masks should be included in the list.
But the restoring compositions should be refused. The fact is that they, striving for the restoration of the hair, begin to count the painting pigments by "enemies" and rapidly bring them. In other words, fighting for hair health by leam paint. As a result, staining holds less.
Restoring shampoos and masks are well applied before a visit to the hairdresser to prepare a lap to various manipulations.
Despite the fact that this type of staining is considered one of the most careful staining, the solired hair is still injured. Saving strands from dryness will help the use of moisturizing balms after each washing.
Immediately after the selection procedure, it is better to condense the colors. If you value the hair length, choose the hair polishing procedure.
When using hairdryers, bad and iron, do not forget about the thermal protection. It is impossible to apply such money, after which it is immediately taken for tongs or weaves. When using these tools, hair must be absolutely dry.
In the first few days after staining, it should be limited to the high-temperature effect on the hair - to limit the use of a hair dryer and iron, not to be labeled active solar effect. Now the deficit of moisture is still strained.
Natural cosmetic oils help restore hair. They are applied to the tips of the hair in half an hour before washing. It is important to use products designed for hair. The use of household oils, or cooked personally, can cause an undesirable change to the shade of the protected strands (hair yellow or green).
Save a beautiful shade of stranded strands and avoid the appearance of yellowness helps special shampoos, balms and foams for blondes. It is important to choose the optimal exposure time for these compositions. If you reap them on the hair, the latter will get a purple shade. When first use, it is recommended to test the intensity and time of the scenery of the sample composition on a separate strand.
By the way, when painting dark blond hair, the color may turn out ugly, yellowish. In this case, also resort to toning. It can be both paint and toning (foam, mask). No need to strive to apply the latter exclusively on the strained strands. Boldly use all the heads, the blondes just do not paint, and the measureled will get a noble subton.
Successful examples
For short haircuts, it is better to choose the technique of highlighting the hat. If the complex technology is selected, then with the help of foil. Melting outdoors, like a complex stretching color, on her hair to shoulders or below simply does not have time to appear in all its glory.
A successful example for a kara with an elongated asymmetric bang can be considered 3D staining. It gives the image brightness and uniqueness. For a more relaxed image, you can choose zone staining of strands.
For hair medium length, it is better to choose complex staining (fascus, Venetian or French technique), combining them with graduated strands. From this image is light and feminine.
If the hair is long and at the same time healthy, then all types of felting will look great. In the photo you can see Ombre, as well as an infrequent formation of 2-3 tones. It looks natural and stylish.
Another option for successful felting. In the photo "To" - clearly disturbing and slightly washed blonde. The image saved the classic frequent lining. The curls acquired the luxury of blond shades, but at the same time they look natural and volume. Fashion trends just recommended to women to leave the total blond and choose more multifaceted, with tones overflows, shades. It is important that the strands have been subjected to minimal harmful effects.
What can be more beautiful than healthy long hair of natural shades. But sometimes they look pretty boring and can be deprived of volume. California staining will come to the rescue. It seems that fashion will never end. The mechanical tech with this technique retains the effect of natural shades, but the magic of overflows appears - some strands as if burned out in the sun. Like any kind of timing, the American adds visual hair volume.
If you need to add a little more volume or highlight the features of the face, it is recommended to make contrast. The strands of various lengths are covered, the difference between its and the agricultural sections is quite noticeable. As can be seen on the example, the technique looks the most advantageous on dark blond hair.
