To create their own unique image, modern women quite often resort to such a procedure as hair coloring. The beauty industry does not stand still - in parallel with the development of new shades of dyes, new technologies come to the world of fashion to fulfill their application for coloring. One of these methods is balayazh, which implies the creation of a certain intensity of contrast of color shades on the hair by lightening some strands. The monochromatic color of curls already attracts few people - I want to create bright highlights, a game of colors, but this should look appropriate and natural. It is the method of staining balayazh that will help you complete this task.
One of the features of the staining procedure is that only the lower parts of the hair strands are clarified, without affecting the entire length of the curls and the basal region. This gentle approach provides not only a respect for the hair, but also creates an additional effect of the volume of the hairstyle. In addition, the lightened strands look as realistic as possible, giving the impression that your hair just burned out in the sun in a natural way.
Balayazh can be done on the hair of dark blond, light and dark shades. This method looks good on long curls and hair of medium length.
Let's dwell in more detail on how to choose the color shades of dyeing using the balayazh method for medium brown hair.
Features
A fairly large number of women with blond hair color believe that this color looks dull, inexpressive and even boring. For this reason, brown hair most often ladies tend to perfect in one way or another.Staining with balayazh technology perfectly copes with the tasks assigned to it. The fact is that with this coloring technique, 2-3 shades are used, combined with the basic tone of the hair. In this case, the staining itself can affect all strands or focus on the hair areas at the temples and on the back of the head.
In order to get the most natural visual image, the stylist must take into account not only the basic tone of your hair, but also pay attention to skin tones and the color of your eyes. So, performing a balayazh on medium brown hair to the owner of dark skin and dark eyes, the stylist can suggest using a palette of amber or caramel shades. And if you have gray eyes and white skin, you will be offered ash or platinum tones. Thus, the main and decisive role in the selection of shades of color for balayazh will play your natural color type:
- if your color type is focused on the so-called cold shades - for coloring you need to choose silver, ash, platinum, violet, blue and other shades of the “cold” spectrum;
- if the color type of your appearance tends to be “warm tones” - sunny, amber, walnut, chestnut, wheat and other tones of a “warm” spectrum will suit you.
On medium-length hair, dyeing in the style of balayazh looks equally good on straight and curly strands, and curly hair after such coloring is most attractive. It's no secret that curly hair has a more porous structure than straight strands. Therefore, when dyeing, they more actively and to a greater extent absorb the dye composition, and after dyeing, coloring pigments remain in the hair structure for a longer time.
However, it must be remembered that wavy strands are more traumatic - they are easy to dry with paint, so you need to choose only high-quality tested compounds for coloring and observe the exposure time on the hair very precisely. After the dyeing procedure, curly hair needs special care - they need to provide good nutrition and hydration.
When dyeing straight hair with balayazha technique, experts advise updating the ends of the strands and making a fresh thinning for them. Thus, your hairstyle will look voluminous, and your hair - well-groomed. And one more thing - for beautiful coloring, you need to have healthy hair, without split ends. Before dyeing, they are sheared or ground.
Shade selection
When tinting fair hair, more contrasting options for dyeing balayazh are obtained on dark blond curls. However, light brown hair can be tinted using this technique, achieving good and interesting results. High-quality dyeing involves the use of consonant with each other and brightening the main hair color shades. The more such shades of the same color are used, the more expressive the finished result will look.
Typically, for blond and blond hair, the following color schemes are used:
- the use of a whole range of shades of blond;
- shades of platinum, copper or bronze, and not only the lightest, but also the deepest;
- all shades of caramel color;
- a full palette of wheat shades from light to dark;
- any light golden tones;
- almost the entire ash line;
- tone of silvery colors of any depth;
- the lightest tones of chestnut and walnut;
- light tones of chocolate shade.
Often, professional stylists lighten strands to the maximum light tones, and then they are tinted in the desired shades. In this way, softer transitions from one color tone to another are achieved, as a result of which the coloration looks very bright and at the same time natural.
There is another little trick - to create high contrast from the basal zone and the middle part of the strands, they are darkened with chocolate or dark nut tones, against which lightened strands of various shades look especially bright and expressive. However, this method will subsequently require regular adjustment of regrown hair in the basal region.
When choosing shades of color for coloring in the style of balayazh, you must remember that light tones will visually rejuvenate your appearance, and dark shades, on the contrary, can add age to you. Trying on a particular shade, you must also consider the following:
- chocolate and coffee shades are best used for those who have naturally dark blond hair color;
- shades of copper are considered universal, as they are suitable for any light brown curls;
- gray and ash tones are suitable only for those with gray or blue eyes, otherwise these tones will add age to you;
- shades of the unnatural spectrum - blue, pink, violet - can only be used to create an extravagant image, and far from any age such shocking will be appropriate.
When choosing coloring in the technique of performing a balayazh, you need to remember that on long curls the color transitions will look smoothly, since the length of the hair allows you to stretch the color and make it as realistic as possible. But on medium-length hair, a balyazh will make the hairstyle very catchy and eye-catching, here all the transitions will be smooth, but more concentrated.
Be prepared that in this case, a balayazh can simply radically change your appearance even if you left yourself your usual haircut or hairstyle.

The largest amount of paint should be at the end of the strand, and during stretching the amount of dye decreases. Alternate shades as often as possible on the strands between each other.
Each colored strand must be wrapped in a strip of foil. The exposure time of the dye should not exceed 15 minutes. Now the foil must be removed and combed hair, as if sweeping the paint from the middle of the strand to its end, that is, down. After combing each strand, after 3-5 minutes, the hair should be thoroughly washed and dried.
