Disadvantages of embossed staining

In complex staining techniques, one can safely highlight one indisputable drawback - this is not a small cost of the procedure. But it is justified, since the desired result can only be obtained from a qualified colorist, and the services of masters of this class are not cheap.

Embossed coloring for blondes and brunettes

Embossed coloring is an ideal solution for owners of a warm color type. If you have naturally light blond, light brown, wheat or brown hair, this technique simply repeats what the sun does to your curls in summer: it gives a natural lightening.

For blonde hair and cool blonde shades, this technique will help freshen up the color and correct the yellow.

Red, depending on the intensity of the natural shade, when dyeing, it is better to lower the new color a little to the tips - this will help preserve the beauty and individuality of the natural color, and even emphasize its brightness.

On dark hair, this technique is, of course, used less often, but this does not prevent stylists from experimenting and combining shades of black, copper and even cold light.

Embossed color ideas for different hair lengths

Short hair

Embossed coloring gives short hair what it most often lacks, namely volume. Lightening the curls at the crown makes the shape of the hairstyle more contoured and structured.

Medium hair

The scapula curls also perfectly “accept” this technique. Here the master works with different light tones and makes smooth transitions.

Long hair

On longer hair, the stylist applies more and more highlights to achieve the most structured and natural result.

Relief highlighting technique

1. Hair is divided into zones - occipital and anterior.
2. The application of the composition starts from top to bottom. On the upper occipital zone, in zigzag movements, a strand 4-5 cm wide is distinguished.
3. With the help of a ponytail comb, small strands are isolated from this strand.
4. These strands are laid on foil and impregnated well with a lightening or coloring composition. The foil is folded. If necessary, fix with a clip.
5. Then a new thin strand is highlighted below - in the same way with a zigzag movement. Do not touch it - put it up on the foil.
6. Take the next strand - with the help of a comb, I will again trim small strands. Lay on foil - apply the composition. Etc.
7. From the occipital zone, they go to the face.
8. After the entire volume has been lined, they move on to the strands that have not been touched. On them, using a brush, a brightening composition is applied using the balayage technique.
9. Stand for 30 minutes and wash off.
10. Then comes toning with the selected shade.

Embossed coloring for blondes

This technique is perfect for blondes. Allows you to get a beautiful shade for a long time, forgetting about the growing dark roots. Small lightened strands are mixed with the total mass - they create a natural color.

Such coloring requires constant toning. Anti-yellow shampoo, toning balm and mask are faithful companions of cold shades.

Embossed coloring in caramel tones

Caramel is tasty and bright. A honey, warm shade suits women of a warm color type. If the skin has a golden, dark complexion, caramel will suit you.

Types of staining

Modern hairdressing technologies allow any woman to be in trend and look younger. We will tell you what types of hair coloring are.

Shatush

The paint is applied randomly with a small indent from the hair roots, after the fleece. The thick paste stretches along its entire length and spreads. The result is chaotically lightened strands, as if burnt out in the sun. The hairstyle looks natural.

Ombre

The hair becomes dark at the roots and light at the ends. And vice versa - light at the roots and a rich shade - at the tips. Complex color transitions, non-standard solutions, pink, green, purple palette are possible.

Highlighting

Individual strands are lightened or dyed in a different color. You can experiment with the number, width and frequency of strands, toning. This is a more interesting hairstyle change than the classic blonde.

Marble staining

The procedure is similar to ombre and highlighting, but differs in the uneven application of paint to individual strands. It turns out, for example, naturally burnt curls.

Balayazh

The ends are dyed in one or more colors that contrast with the general shade of the hair. Fancy options are easily created on short and blonde hair.

Stencil

Stencil technique is the creation of patterns and patterns on the hair. The master uses one, several or even several dozen paints. The client brings a stencil with her or chooses from those offered in the salon.

Coloring

The master takes up to five shades, cold or warm, suitable for a woman. Creates complex transitions, achieves lightening, depth of colors, smooth or abrupt transitions from one strand to another.

Blonding

Natural dark hair pigment is burned out or discolored over several treatments. It is sometimes impossible to make a brunette a blonde in one session, because she has too dark hair, or there is a risk of burning strands, and it is wiser to move smoothly towards the result.

Coloring 3D

The master creates the effect of optical volume and shine. Hair shimmers in different colors and shines.

Simple secrets

When partially dyeing the length of the hair, it is better to leave the roots of a natural color, so you will not have to tint them soon. It will look especially advantageous on girls with naturally dark hair and fair skin, as the necessary accent will be created. Otherwise, light colors will merge into the overall picture.

Contouring is a direction in complex coloring, which is precisely aimed at the most profitable playing out of your external data, color type and facial features. When working with you, a master must carefully observe all the nuances in order to create an absolutely individual style.

Before you start creating your new image, you need to select a tool. When dyeing hair in a beauty salon, this problem is automatically solved, because the master has all the necessary materials. The visitor can only choose a shade or pattern, tell the hairdresser what she wants him to offer the best solution.

Additional care products: shampoos, balms, masks, serums - soften the negative effect of dyes.

Is it possible to stain at home?

Such staining is performed using one of the most complex techniques. It's not enough to just grab a brush and start randomly painting. The main difficulty lies in the fact that each curl must be dyed in a very subtle way: collect a bun of hair under the foil and evenly distribute the color over it.

Of course, there is a clear and understandable scheme of work, but nevertheless, even a professional will not always be able to repeat such coloring on himself.

It is better to insure yourself and contact a professional master for staining. In addition to the service, he will offer salon care products that will protect the color and give a prolonged lightening effect.

Coloring Rules: Fundamentals of Color Theory

Coloring basics for beginners necessarily include learning about the color wheel, also known as Oswald's Star. The circle is formed by both the primary (basic) colors, with which we have already met, and the secondary ones.

Secondary colors are obtained by superimposing primary colors on top of each other. Mix yellow and blue for green. Add red to the blue base - and now a completely new color is formed, purple. Pay attention to the arrangement of the colors in the circle, any of them is created by mixing adjacent color sectors. And the whole spectrum can be divided into two large groups: cold shades and warm shades.

The color wheel has its own laws, they are also the basic rules of color when dyeing hair:

1. It is forbidden to mix cold and warm shades, they do not go well with each other.
2. If you draw an imaginary line between two opposing colors in the color wheel, you will find neutralizing shades. So, the purple pigment neutralizes the yellow tone. The green pigment is “extinguished” by the red, and vice versa.
3. Warm colors cannot be neutralized with warm tones. For successful neutralization, you need to turn to colors from the cold end of the spectrum.

The emphasis on neutralization was made for a reason. When changing the color of previously dyed hair or when faced with the appearance of a red, yellow or greenish undertone, you need to know exactly which shade from the color wheel you need. Otherwise, unpleasant surprises will inevitably await you.

Color Basics: Basic Concepts For Beginners

The basic principles of coloring when dyeing hair in tandem with high-quality dye create a beautiful and unique hair color. You need to act, of course, carefully, understanding exactly three points:

1. what level of tone depth is required;
2. what color direction you are interested in;
3. what tone of lightening you have to work with.

Don't worry if the terms sound like a Chinese letter to you so far.Let's study them in more detail!

Hair Depth Level

The level of depth of tone is every “step” from very dark brunette to very light blonde. Colorists use a special scale to determine the level of depth.

If you have a tube of Garnier colorant handy, look on the packaging for the number for the color of the paint. Take 5.62 from the Color Sensation palette as an example. The level of tone depth in this case is encrypted with the number 5. The higher the number, the lighter the depth level:

• 1 - black;
• 2 - very dark chestnut;
• 3 - dark chestnut;
• 4 - chestnut;
• 5 - light chestnut;
• 6 - dark blond;
• 7 - light brown;
• 8 - light blond;
• 9 - light light blond;
• 10 - blond;
• 11 - ultrablond.

Color Direction

Of course, with only one level of tone depth, an interesting shade of coloring is impossible to obtain. Therefore, both natural hair and dyes with artificial pigments also have a basic shade - the so-called color direction.

For Garnier dyes, it is encoded with the second digit in the code, immediately after the tone depth:

• 0 - natural tone;
• 1 - ashy shade (blue-violet pigment);
• 2 - matte shade (green pigment);
• 3 - golden tone (yellow pigment);
• 4 - copper tone (red pigment);
• 5 - mahogany tone (red-violet pigment);
• 6 - burgundy tone (blue-violet pigment);
• 7 - red-brown tone.

And what does the third figure hide? It denotes an additional subtone, a subtle nuance that gives color unique character:

• 1 - ashy;
• 2 - mother-of-pearl;
• 3 - gold;
• 4 - copper;
• 5 - mahogany;
• 6 - red;
• 7 - mocha.

Now it will not be difficult to solve the digital riddle of 5.62 Garnier Color Sensation: 5 - light brown-haired in terms of tone depth; 6 - a shade of burgundy; 2 - with pearlescent overflow. And all together - the unique and juicy Tsar's pomegranate.

HAIR LENGTH GRADATION

Color short hair or shade long hair, brighten medium length hair? Coloring sets itself different tasks for different input data. What looks spectacular on a pixie will not suit an elongated bob or curls below the shoulder blades. Let's see what types of coloring stylists offer for:

• hair of medium length;
• short hairstyles;
• long curls.

MEDIUM HAIR

Fashionable dyeing for medium hair in 2020 - 2021 implements two main trends:

1. creating natural colors and transitions that simulate natural fading and highlights;
2. creation of bright fashionable shades.

At medium length, partial clarifications look good: babylights, contouring, sombre, shatush and balayage. By preserving the natural color of the base and lightening individual areas, you will get interesting effects. On hair of medium length, it will turn out to make a smooth stretch of color from the ends to the middle zone.

Nude coloring with a natural light brown effect is popular among medium-length wearers. The use of beige, creamy, caramel and warm coffee shades with transitions from darker at the roots to lighter at the bottom gives the impression of a natural color irregularity.

Sand, platinum, pink blondes - choose any and be in trend. Cold shades of blonde make the look sophisticated and sophisticated, so do not allow yellowness on the lightened strands.

Auburn shades, reds, blues-blacks and calm tones of cinnamon and chocolate are all trendy colors for complete coloration. Interesting options:

1. coloring in natural colors of caramel with golden-red undertone, creates the effect of natural reddishness;
2. frosty chestnut - a noble brownish-reddish shade with a cold sheen.

SHORT HAIR

Fashionable dyeing for short hair in 2020 - 2021 is divided into two main types: accentuation of individual areas and complete dyeing of the head.

Consider options for partial coloring for short hairstyles.

• Stylists recommend highlighting bangs with bright colors and supporting the color with accents by toning individual strands in other zones

• Rainbow overflows are still in vogue.Separate zones are lightened and painted over in bright (pink, emerald, lilac) or pastel (lavender, ash pink, bluish) colors. The main thing is to choose “your” shades according to the color type. Areas with iridescent overflows are located in the parietal zone, on the bangs, or, conversely, inside, under the top layer of hair. Then the intrigue is revealed with a certain parting or partially collected strands.
• If ombre goes out of fashion on medium and long curls, giving way to smooth transitions, then on short, a sharp transition is quite relevant and looks very impressive. As in the previous versions, the ombre is done in full and in part, zonal brightening the ends of the strands. The difference between the main color and light ends is best done in 2-3 tones.
• Balayazh and warm blond are relevant with an indent from the roots by 1/2 of the total length.
• Full dyeing for short hair is important, it remains to choose a suitable shade.
• Cold light shades are in fashion: ash blond, pink blond. On short haircuts, such as pixies, these colors look bright and unusual. Cold tones are not suitable for everyone; a master will help to choose a shade to match the color of the skin.

• In addition to the cold blonde, the red range is relevant this season. Cherry, copper, red-red are in trend again, it remains to choose according to your color type.
• Girls with any eye color and skin tone will choose noble dark tones. For shades of chocolate and coffee, there are interesting bronzing techniques that allow you to create beautiful light highlights on a dark base.
• Glitter and other shiny materials have been walking the catwalks for several seasons. Shiny loafers, bags, raincoats, dresses no longer surprise anyone. Now, metallic blonde shades will also support this “shiny” trend. At its core, "metallic" coloring is the same highlighting and toning with a special composition with a silvery tint. Allows you to hide gray hair.
• From the bright trends, pay attention to the total-black color. Fully black sleek hair looks perfect with a bob and bob. Such staining is difficult to correct and, if in doubt, whether the color of the raven wing will age you, consult with the master.

LONG HAIR

Long-haired girls are exposed to the whole range of modern staining techniques:

1. gradual transitions and soft color gradations are most fully revealed on long curls;
2. the stencil technique is returning to fashion after a long oblivion, with its help interesting patterns are created on straight long strands;
3. multicolor creative highlights in bright or pastel “candy” colors also look amazing on hair below the shoulder blades.

The choice of colors is limited only by the boldness of the model and its color type. All trendy shades suitable for short and medium hairstyles remain relevant for long curls:

• cold blondes;
• metallic;
• warm caramel shades;
• red and red colors;
• noble dark “tasty” colors of cinnamon, chocolate and coffee;
• pristine black.
