Short
Balayazh on short hair has not ceased to be relevant for several years. The hairstyle colored in this way looks a little careless, but always advantageous. The method of dyeing for short hair is quite simple, which makes it possible to do it yourself, at home. But it is still recommended that such procedures be carried out in the cabin.

- to determine the strands on which the light-colored paint will be applied, it is done in such a way that the ends of the hair stick out upward;
- paint is applied on the tips using foil and aged for a couple of tens of minutes;
- the hair roots are colored (if necessary);
- after some time, the paint from the roots stretches closer to the ends of the curls to tint, but not to the very end;
- after keeping the paint for about ten minutes, it must be washed off.
Medium
On medium-length hair, a balayazh looks no less impressive. However, the method of dyeing will look slightly different than for short hair.It will be more difficult, and it is unlikely to succeed on its own.
- Hair is separated into several squares in the zones (temporal, parietal, occipital and crown) and are punched with hair clips in bundles or ponytails - the main thing is that they do not touch each other during the staining process.
- Paint is applied to the ends of the strands, where it is left for some time depending on the desired shade and the instructions of the paint manufacturer, then it must be washed off with water.
- Further the paint is applied to individual strands, brush strokes should be as light as possible to stain transitions. At this stage, it is necessary to maintain the paint no more than 15-20 minutes to achieve a darker shade than at the ends of the curls.
- Hair thoroughly washed with a coloring composition.

The most difficult in terms of dyeing will be a hut for long hair. To execute it strongly It is recommended that you contact an experienced craftsman. The method of dyeing is similar to the technique suitable for medium-length hair, however, with long curls you need to be more careful so that the colored strands do not stick together and do not spoil the result.

Painting in one tone, if it differs from the natural color or what the girl usually wears, is useful. But the use of balayazh technique will achieve a much more expressive result.
Aftercare
