Fashion Techniques - Types of Hair Coloring

According to stylists - professionals of hairdressing, in the new season women of fashion can feel comfortable and confident both with natural shades of hair and with bright, atypical coloring along the entire length or individual strands. In fact, no radically new painting techniques were added - all the same shatush, balayazh, ombre, but you can safely experiment with shades and change from season to season.

Types of hair coloring - highlights

Perhaps, it is an ideal option for girls who want to try on blond and take a closer look at light colors on themselves. The modern highlighting technique involves evenly lightening individual strands (small and numerous around the entire circumference of the head) and is able to create a shine in the hair, similar to sun glare. At the same time, the strands always have a neat and well-groomed appearance.

Depending on the type of highlighting - full or partial - you can achieve different effects on any hair: long, medium or short.

California highlighting is done not from the roots, but just above the middle of the hair, creating a smooth transition from dark to light shades. A special feature is that during the procedure, only some strands are lightened, and the paint dries on the hair without foil. This dyeing method fits well on medium and long hair and looks very beneficial on brown, red, light brown and any other dark hair.

Coloring

Coloring is used when there is a desire to make individual curls bright, to paint in two, three tones. Shades can be used for one or different colors. The main types of coloring:

• Horizontal, using three shades and a transition from dark to light.
• Vertical, when picking up to nineteen different tones.

Ombre

A fashionable option for dyeing hair with a transition from dark to light tone is called ombre or according to the popular screed. Quite a complicated, but still popular technique for dyeing long strands with lightening and further toning in light shades: ash, platinum, caramel, blond with pink.

As a rule, a light tone dominates at the ends of the hair, and the root zone is darkened accordingly, but today masters can also apply a reverse color stretch. With this dyeing technique, the visual volume of long and medium hair is guaranteed, especially on a bob haircut.

Shatush

This method of highlighting (yes, the lightening of the strands has many subspecies) masters recommend for both light and dark hair. Unlike ombre, the gradient is realized within natural colors, without strong contrast and clear boundaries. Shatush staining does not require frequent correction. The slightly regrown root part of the hair, thanks to the unique effect of the strands burnt out in the sun, does not spoil the appearance of the hairstyle. Shatush can be worn by both schoolgirls and adult women, with hair of different lengths and colors (even black, if you, of course, fall into the hands of an experienced colorist). This type of painting is universal.

With its help, you can hide early gray hair. In addition, when performing this technique, the hair does not suffer at all from the effects of chemistry.

Balayazh

Balayage technology is perfect for lovers of sophistication and elegance. Stylish coloring provides maximum naturalness of hair in a sunny range of shades. Unlike ombre, balayage is used partially only on some strands, and the tone transition occurs horizontally. Balayage can be worn by owners of very different lengths and colors. A light ash shade looks especially luxurious in this technique.

Airtach

Airtach is a great alternative to the classic hair highlighting, as well as simple blonde dyeing. This technique paints with a very peculiar method, which, like air spraying, paints over your strands. The master skillfully wields a brush, resulting in a very natural transition between your native color and the artificial one.

Airtach is the only technique in which the master uses a hairdryer to dye the strands. Thanks to this approach, the hair acquires multifaceted color transitions, as well as fantastic play. Airtach suits both light and dark and red hair. This technique looks equally good on different hair lengths, so every girl can try such a wonderful coloring.

Bronding

The bronzing technique combines two classic coloring techniques, coloring and highlighting, which ultimately gives the most natural and natural result of hair coloring. A rich palette of shades can be used here, each of which is selected individually for your hair.

Bronzing can create a beautiful play of color on your hair, as well as make a smooth deepening of color from roots to ends. If you have a short haircut, then it is bronding that can set off short hair and give it volume.

Babelight

Jack Howard created a similar staining technique, the author of many works on various types of highlighting. He combined balayage and highlighting, which eventually gave way to a new look - babylights. The final result gives a beautiful play of strands that seem to flicker in the sun.

Babelight is suitable for dark and blonde hair, as well as for thick or weakened hair. Also in the case of weakened and thin hair, this technique gives them volume and as if revives them.

Sombre

The sombre technique has arisen relatively recently and has become a subspecies of ombre. The fact is that sombre and ombre are very similar techniques to each other, but the result is a different color for each. Sobmre assumes a barely noticeable transition of color from one to another, and in measurement such a transition is much more pronounced.

Sombre makes the place where the two colors merge almost invisible, giving the impression that your hair has simply grown back after the next dyeing. But the result itself looks much better and more beautiful than in the case of the latter.

Mazhimesh

Mazhimesh is one of the types of highlighting, but it is a more delicate hair coloring. And the thing is that this technique does not use ammonia, which has a very aggressive effect on the hair structure. Mazhimesh works with special products, in which this substance is completely absent.

Mazhimesh is a more loyal version of highlighting, capable of lightening your strands with the help of cream and wax.Foil or a special hat is also used here, which will lighten your strands 3-4 tones higher.

Coloring 3d

The most difficult staining of all existing types. And the whole difficulty lies in the fact that the masters create on the hair a real play of many shades that shimmer and go well with each other.

The painstaking work of the master allows you to create a holographic, volumetric effect on the hair. 3d. This coloring is suitable for blondes and brunettes, where the final result will look equally good. The most interesting thing is that in the sun, the color of the strands can have one shade, and in cloudy times or in the late afternoon, another.

Hair elumination

This technique not only colors your hair, but can also make it healthier. Translated from the Latin word, it means "light" that is, your hair acquires, like an internal glow after dyeing. Elumination is expensive, but well worth it.

In the process of dyeing, your hair is covered like a protective film, which then protects it from environmental influences. Here, dyes are always used without the use of hydrogen peroxide, which allows you to dye your hair without damaging it too much.

Monochrome staining

The most popular coloring in the world due to its simple design and beautiful results. Now we are talking about the use of ordinary paint, both shop and professional. In the composition of such paints, ammonia is most often used, which can harm the hair structure. But still, this type is considered the most universal.

Many women around the world paint themselves in this way at home, saving money and time. A rich palette of various colors will allow you to dye your hair in any color.

Toning

Hair tinting is an alternative to solid color. Tinting is safer than conventional hair dyeing. And the thing is that the tonic does not contain aggressive compounds and therefore they do not destroy or dry the hair itself.

In toning, unstable paints are used, which only color the hair from above, without penetrating inside. But such paint will not last long and after the first rinsing, you will notice a loss of brightness of the coloring pigment.

Degrade

Degrade is an excellent option for high-quality color stretch along the entire hair length. Only this technique is able to give you a real half tone on your hair. Most often, more natural shades from light to dark are used here.

But this technique should not be confused with the pattern, where two colors are also intertwined. Degrade makes a transition from color to color, where the place of fusion is clearly expressed.

Two-color staining

A very creative method of dyeing, where the masters dye the hair in two different colors. And this is completely different from the ombre technique, where two colors merge into one. Here, your hair will be split into two different colors. The color can be placed on the hair vertically or horizontally.

The colors are usually bright and contrasting here: white and black, red and blue, pink and orange, blue and green, purple and white. Two-tone coloring is suitable for short and long hair.

Pixel coloring

Unusual hair coloring, where craftsmen paint pixel patterns on the strands. Craftsmen apply coloring pigment to the hair in layers, which ultimately forms a three-dimensional geometric pattern.

Pixel color is excellent for different hair. It will look interesting on short hair lengths as well as long ones. In any case, it will be a very effective and unusual choice that will make others turn around after you.

Stencil staining

Coloring here takes place thanks to special curly stencils through which the masters apply different patterns to the hair. These can be drawings of birds, animals, flowers, or just abstract patterns.

Often with stencil dyeing, many girls also resort to extreme repainting of the main part of their hair. As a result, it forms a very creative and original image.

Latent coloration

If you dreamed of adding a bright detail to your image, but did not dare to radically repaint in red or blue, then latent coloration will allow you to achieve the desired effect in a more tricky way.

The master separates the top layer of hair and paints only the bottom one, which, if you lower the top layer, completely disappears behind it. Thus, latent coloring is formed, where the palette of shades can have any tone.

The hidden dye technique allows you to enjoy any vibrant color by simply letting your hair down. And when the wind blows, your hair will develop very beautifully and shimmer with bright shades.

Rainbow hair coloring

This is one of the brightest color options and gives your strands a beautiful color transition. Before dyeing, hair is always bleached, so that afterwards colored dyes can be applied to them, which have a color category like a rainbow.

But they do not always use only the colors of the rainbow, as well as other juicy and acidic shades. Such coloring will not last long, since non-aggressive compounds are used in the composition of the paint, and after 7 bathing your hair will acquire its usual native shade.

Crayon staining

Coloring with crayons is a fairly simple and safest method of dyeing hair in colored shades. Crayons can be in hard form, soft pastel, as well as in the form of a comb and fondant. Each of the species is especially good, but the most persistent are soft crayons.

They are very easy to apply to the hair and wash off easily. Unfortunately, crayons are only suitable for light hair, as on dark hair they will be almost invisible.

Contouring

A stylish way to refresh your own look without spending a lot of time and money going to the stylist is called contouring. The essence of the technique is to lighten the strands along the edge line.

Selection of colors and techniques of fashionable dyeing for different types of hair

An experienced professional will be able to choose a coloring technique, depending on the type, condition and color of the hair.

Coloring straight hair

For ladies with long, straight hair, almost any type of coloring is suitable. It can be babylights or classic ombre, which can diversify the image and give it a twist. Long hair also makes a great canvas for creative coloring. Particularly popular are hidden rainbow stains, which require great professionalism of the master.

Coloring wavy hair

Owners of long hair can diversify their look using various dyeing techniques. Balayage or ombre will help make your hair more contrasting and your look. Lovers of a more natural effect should pay attention to babylights or lowlights.

Dyeing for curly hair

Finding the right color for curly hair is not easy. Owners of very curly hair should pay attention to chestnut, copper or honey shades. Blond or darker colors will look good.

For coloring techniques, babylights or lowlights are ideal. Lovers of a brighter effect can try balayage.

Coloring short hair

There is an opinion that modern dyeing techniques are not available to owners of short hair. But in reality, this is not the case. Balayage, which can make the hair more voluminous, will look great. Classic ombre is also suitable for short hair. Creative coloring is especially popular among girls with short hair.

Individual strands of hair can be dyed in interesting, vibrant shades. On the square, latent dyeing techniques are often used.

Hair coloring for medium length

Medium hair length is the most common option among the fair sex. This is the most optimal length for any type of staining.As a coloring on medium hair, the techniques of classic ombre, original balayage or any kind of highlighting can be used. If you have blonde hair, you can try nude coloring or strobing.

Do not forget about creative coloring, which is perfect for a rebellious nature.

Long hair coloring

What coloring will be the hit of the new season?

Of course, the classics are eternal, so the above methods of creating a hairstyle are still relevant. However, new, bold, super trendy hair colors and techniques in 2022 promise to be interesting and intriguing. They involve the use of in addition to light and dark shades, bright and even neon colors. Let's take a closer look at these bold and trendy trends.

These include coloring methods such as:

• Dip dye
• Rainbow coloring
• Latent coloration

The bold dip-dye solution embodies the perfect transition from natural hair color to bold, neon ends. Outwardly, it looks like the ends of the hair were dipped in a jar of bright dye. It is a kind of exaggerated ombre that creates a more vibrant and modern style.

A new trend in the technique of exclusive toning of strands in 2022 will be rainbow coloring. This is a versatile coloring method that works great for both blondes and brunettes.

The fact is that the first step in iridescent dyeing is to completely bleach the hair, followed by the application of pigments of different tones. I must say that the technique is incredibly complex and requires a professional colorist. So it is better not to experiment with it on your own at home, and for owners of black, difficult to bleached hair, it is better not to injure them, but to choose more gentle types of color transformation. Young girls with blond long hair will look most impressive with a deep-pie.

Unique and shocking latent coloring is suitable for creating a bright and extraordinary image.

Its uniqueness lies in a rather simple idea: the master dyes only the lower layer of hair in different colors, and does not affect the upper one at all. Changing hairstyles, you can hide and open the colored sections of the strands, create the brightest images, giving free rein to imagination. This technique is best suited for owners of thin and light hair, since preliminary removal of the natural tone is not required, and the new one will lie flat. But dark curls will have to be discolored in any case, and only a true professional can achieve an even distribution of color. A great idea for creating a mysterious and unusual party look.

Any of the above styles requires high professionalism of the master. Therefore, it is better to trust the hairdresser to the colorist, and do not experiment with hair at home.

And remember that dyed hair in any case is injured, dry out, and therefore requires special care. Apply hair cosmetics with the effect of moisturizing, nourishing, restoring, strengthening and maintaining color brightness.

Hair coloring using the sliding brush technique

Sliding brush is a method of applying a clarifier on top of a base color, offered by Framesi. This dyeing method makes it easy to get the effect of sun-bleached hair and makes classic haircuts such as bob or bob brighter and more sophisticated.

Sliding brush technique: the main dye is applied to the hair and cured for several minutes. Then, stepping back from the roots 3-5 cm, the lightening preparation is distributed through the hair using a round brush with natural bristles. At the end of the exposure time, a color transition from dark to light appears on the hair.

Marble highlighting

The technology for performing marble highlighting was invented a long time ago. It allows you to visually increase the volume of hair, make it lighter. The main effect is the glowing strands peeking out from under the bulk of the hair.

Marble technique - in which a kind of hat brim is made of foil, on which hair is laid out.The width of the margins should completely contain the strands intended for lightening. Through a strainer, a bleaching powder is scattered onto the hair and an oxidizing agent is sprayed and a clarifier is applied. The reaction takes place in air, and therefore the oxidation is very gentle, providing a smooth transition from a dark shade to a light one. This method is especially suitable for highlighting long and semi-long hair.

Hair coloring using the technique of glare on hair

Hair glare is an option for dyeing semi-long or long hair in natural, intense colors. The secret of hair shine lies in the even coloring from roots to ends. This color allows you to get rid of gray hair and dull color. Professional masters choose highlighting on graduated and stepped haircuts and with a small amount of gray hair (up to 50%) - discolored strands mask gray hair well. Highlighted strands are used when a client wants to change her dark fake color to a lighter one with minimal hair loss or gradually move from bleached hair to a natural or darker shade.

In addition, with the help of highlighting, you can reduce the oily hair on bleached hair with regrowth of roots.
