Features
Balayazh blond is a completely new and modern hair coloring technique, which is very popular among stylists in many countries of the world, including Russia.
The staining procedure is a technique for clarifying separately selected strands.
- With this clarification technique, only professional coloring agents are used that do not harm the hair. Despite the fact that the staining does not reach the root zone, weakened and split ends may suffer from it. That is why professional tools are used that include waste substances.

Balayazh blond is not recommended to perform at home, especially not having at least basic skills in staining. This is due to the fact that this technique is quite difficult to perform, especially on itself.
Advantages and disadvantages
The popularity of modern balayazh coloring is due to its many advantages.
- This coloring does not harm the hair in any way, since it does not affect the root zone.
- It is not necessary for the fair sex with light and brown hair to pre-lighten before the main dyeing, using the balayazh technique, you can get the desired effect and shade at a time.
- Balayazh can help look younger than his years, so he is very popular among not only young girls, but also middle-aged women.
- Using this staining technique, you can not only radically change the image, but also make it fresher, without making very serious changes.
- This technique of lightening hair perfectly suits ladies with straight and wavy hair. Balayazh is recommended even for those with thin hair, because thanks to this hair technique you can visually add volume.
In general, the hut does not have any restrictions, but it has some disadvantages that cannot be ignored. First of all, this is a high price for this type of staining. Balayazh is a rather complicated procedure that takes a certain time, moreover, the master must know all the subtleties of this type of staining. That is why the average price for clarification is 4-5 thousand rubles, which, of course, is much higher than ordinary staining. And if at the same time an additional stretch of color is done, then the price tag will be even higher.
With proper care at home, a hut will delight on average six months, after which you will have to do some sort of color correction. And every 3 months, experts recommend tinting, because over time, white pigment is washed out of the hair, and the shade loses its former beauty.
Regular hair coloring, toning, color stretching and, of course, the recommended hair care procedures will cost a decent amount.
Color Guidelines
It is best for the fair-haired women to choose more natural shades for coloring, close to their own color, but lighter by several tones.
The following warm shades harmonize best with light brown and blond hair:
- gold;
- honey;
- wheat;
- caramel;
- almond;
- light amber and some others.
The warm shades even include strawberry blond, that is, a pink shade, with the help of which they also often make a hitch.
But for blondes who prefer cold colors, you can look at the pearl shade, platinum and ashen.
It is immediately worth noting that the names of shades may vary for different manufacturers. This information is best clarified by the master hairdresser who will perform the hitch.
On dark hair, a balayazh blond is also very often done. For example, a balazyazh from red to blond looks very original, but in this case it is best to use a warm shade (for transition), which will ideally blend in with the red. Balayazh excellently comes out of the brunette.
Here, the choice of color for the tips, as a rule, depends on personal preferences, because with this color both a warm and a cold palette of shades are in harmony.
When choosing the right shade for hair coloring, you should also take into account the color of the eyes. For example, caramel shades, wheat and golden are most suitable for ladies with blue eyes, but the cold options perfectly emphasize the depth of brown and green eyes. Of course, these selection criteria are conditional and are only considered general recommendations.
How to dye your hair?
As already mentioned, the balayazh technique is quite complicated, which is why it is not performed independently. However, if you have any practical skills in dyeing hair, you can always practice at home.
So, to make complex staining, first you need to prepare the following inventory:
- mirror;
- thin comb for parting and massage brush;
- a brush;
- gloves
- pre-selected paint with the desired shade;
- container for paint;
- hair clips;
- cloak;
- towel;
- shampoo and balm for colored hair.
If the shade of your own hair is light brown, then it is best to purchase a dye without ammonia, it will be less traumatic for the strands.
Short
Balayage coloring can ideally emphasize the clear outline of short hair. It looks especially advantageous on a square. Moreover, with the help of this dyeing technique, you can highlight your own haircut in an advantageous light, especially having laid it correctly. Following the step-by-step instructions, you can make a hut at home.
- The hair should be combed with a massage comb, divided into two parts, and then all the strands must be combed with a thin comb or comb.
- The fleece should be in two equal divided zones.
- Then you need to dilute the paint. If it is ready in a box, then simply mix all the ingredients according to the instructions, and if professional, then the oxide must be mixed with the coloring mixture. All must be mixed until a homogeneous mass.
- All strands should be smeared so that the paint does not touch the pile itself and, of course, does not reach the roots.
- Typically, the average waiting time is 20-25 minutes. The exact time should be specified on the box with the paint.
- After this, the hair should be thoroughly washed with shampoo and balm, and then dried and styled.
Medium
Balayazh for medium hair is done as often as for short. The main difference here, perhaps, is that the procedure takes a little longer and is quite painstaking, especially if there is a lot of hair and it is thick. Bangs are not always lightened, but only at will. Consider a step-by-step instruction for performing the procedure.
- Pre-combed hair should be divided into several equal zones with a thin comb. The hair must be fixed with clips or elastic bands.
- So that the hair does not interfere, they should be twisted. This is especially true for the upper layers, because long hair is best dyed from below.
- Next, mix the paint according to the instructions, and proceed to staining.
- Dissolve one of the lower zones. It is best to start with the cervical zone. We select from it several thin strands with the help of a thin comb. We smear a lock of paint from the end on only one side, we do not reach the roots. You should not make a clear contour when staining, which will evenly reach the roots. When doing a hitch, you can not be afraid of careless and uneven movements, only they allow you to get the most natural effect when staining.
- Then apply the paint on the back side. From the roots to staining should remain an average of 4 cm.
- This procedure should be repeated in the same way for all other hair strands. The thinner the selected strand is, the more beautiful and tender the result will be.
- Upon completion, we withstand the time allotted for the paint and wash it off. We use shampoo and balm, and then dry the curls with a hairdryer.
Long
Dyeing for long hair is done exactly the same as for medium hair. But if there are overgrown roots of a different color, they will have to be painted with dark paint, perform the so-called stretching of the color. In fact, it turns out like this: balayazh is made at the ends up to the middle of the hair, and then the roots are dyed, the transition between dark and light colors is done using a thin comb and the so-called rubbing of the color by hand.
Performing all the steps without an assistant can be quite difficult.
And a few more tips from experts that may come in handy.
- Dyeing is best not just washed hair. Ideally, if after the last wash a few days pass.
- After the paint is washed off after staining, specialists apply a special tinting agent. For home, for example, you can buy a tinting shampoo that will maintain the desired color for a long time. It can also be used immediately after the first staining.
- It is best not to use metal options as hair clips, since they can enter into an oxidizing reaction with hair dye, and as a result, not only the color of the hair itself, but also their health can suffer.
And, finally, before doing the painting in the style of balayazh at home, it is recommended to watch several instructional videos that will help to understand the essence of the technique in even more detail.
