Wanting to somehow refresh the hair color, but, not striving for a full repainting or haircut, you can try out a technique such as balayazh. It is possible to spend it with an assistant even at home, it does not require much effort or excessive cash investments, but it creates a truly impressive result.
What it is?
Balayazh is a special hair dye that creates the effect of burnout in the sun. In its basic variation, the roots of the curls remain intact, and the paint is applied to the end and middle of the hair. The hue is selected in rich gold or copper. In other cases, either the ends or the curls are completely clarified.
Balayazh - the procedure is complex and relatively expensive. The final price depends on the length of the processed locks, the prestige of the salon and the skills of the master, as well as the choice of pigment used.
The minimum cost of the procedure is one and a half thousand rubles, and on average about four thousand rubles. In principle, such a procedure can be carried out at home. In addition to the brush and paint packaging, gloves, a ceramic bowl for diluting the solution, and 5 or 6 gum are required. Paint will cost about 450 rubles, the rest of the items used are not very expensive, which means that a self-made balayazh will significantly save money.
Balayazh slightly resembles ombre and shatush, but still there is a difference between these techniques. The ombre has a pronounced facet that is characteristic for the change of one color to another, but the balayazh does not create it.In addition, the shatush only brightens the ends, and the balayazh captures any length of hair. This technique is recommended for owners of any hair, without any exceptions. It is also suitable for curly curls, whose curls can soften the borders of shades. In this case, it will be enough just to straighten your hair to create a radically new image. Balayazh will look good both on young girls and on ladies aged.
Wizards distinguish several common mistakes that are typical for those who make a pit for the first time.
- First - try to do everything yourself and at home. Without knowing the various techniques and not being able to choose the right combination of colors, a satisfactory result is unlikely to be achieved.
- Second mistake The application of dye to already dyed hair is considered. The point of the whole procedure is to create natural looking transitions to a natural color.
- Third mistake characterized by the use of several colors - you cannot use dark, blond and red at the same time.
The essence of the next problem is the coloring of an un trimmed head. It will be very unreasonable to first make a balayazh, and then start to cut off the strands, because it is a well-thought-out haircut that should serve as the foundation for creating the correct sequence of staining.
An overly saturated selection of roots will also be erroneous. A large amount of clarifier will create a sharp contrast, which means that the desired effect will not be achieved. Uneven coloring will also ruin your hair.
Finally, you should not carry out this dyeing more than three times a year and ignore enhanced care for weakened hair.
Benefits
Balayazh, made on medium hair, has many advantages. The result of staining looks very natural, beautiful and changing the face of a woman for the better. For example, it smooths wide cheekbones or excessive roundness. The hair structure remains largely intact, and the locks gain additional volume and color saturation. There is no need for regular renewal of the roots, and even regrowing hair will not spoil the hairstyle. Owners of short haircuts may not apply for correction for half a year.
This technique is suitable for curls of any color and looks organically on ladies of all ages. It makes it possible to update your appearance without making frightening sharp steps and without losing your own beautiful shade and hair length. This technique rejuvenates and refreshes the face, and also emphasizes the "zest" of haircuts, for example, steps in cascading haircuts.
Balayazh is carried out without the use of chemicals, foil or other traumatic tools, so it can be done even on thin and weak hairs.
disadvantages
Stoneware staining has very few flaws. With her, there is still a slight deterioration in the condition of the hair, such a procedure lasts from 2 to 6 hours, and it is very difficult to carry it out independently. To provide a natural burnout effect, it is important to choose the most suitable color tone, otherwise the line between the transitions will be too clear and even sharp.
It is worth mentioning that such a brightening will look beautiful only with everyday well-groomed styling. It is also recommended to find out in the cabin which styling is most suitable for the resulting image. If a hanger is performed by a master, then he must have the proper qualifications, work with proven tools.
Shade selection
Before you start dyeing hair of medium length, that is, dropping slightly below shoulder level, it is important to choose a shade of dye. For a classic balayazha, the acquired paint should be a couple of tones lighter than the hair itself. This means that caramel, chocolate, cherry and copper tones are suitable for dark hair.Even eggplant and ashy colors will look great. Chestnut curls will decorate light brown tones with golden notes, for example, a coffee shade.
Some experts advise dark-haired young ladies to lighten their hair slightly or give them dark red notes.
The hut looks very stylish on light brown curls - it seems that they simply burnt out in the sun. If the girl has a strict northern appearance, then it is recommended to choose paint either silver or nacre colors. Beauties with dark eyes and tanned skin should give preference to gold, wheat and walnut color. It is important for the blonde to choose a tone that is as close as possible to the natural color, so it can vary from alder to ashen, from cream to coffee.
Blonde hair very often suffers from dryness and brittleness, therefore, the master performing the staining should try to visually improve the curls and give them density.
It is important for red-haired girls to avoid bright contrasting colors, for example, blue or raspberry, which can come into dissonance with skin color or age. But, for example, bronze and copper will look extremely successful. In addition, do not forget about non-standard solutions, for example, pink, green or blue. The color selection should again be determined by the harmonious combination, for example, shades of orange-red color are more suitable for dark hair.
It is important to mention that balayazh cannot be done using different colors, but different shades of the same palette are just recommended. When choosing a tone, you should focus on the color of the eyes, skin, hair and the general image of the woman.
Execution technique
Before the beginning of the implementation of balayazha hair of medium length must be issued. Having cut off the split ends, it is worth updating and cutting. The most recommended are “cascade”, “ladder”, “bean” and “square”. Good highlighted strands look with asymmetric haircuts.
It is important to mention that this technique is suitable for both straight and wavy hair, visually adding volume and harmonizing the proportions of the face.
It is not recommended to dye a bang most often, especially if all the hair is dyed dark or the bang itself is too short or long. Oblique bangs will have to be highlighted diagonally, which only a professional can handle. Often the hut is complemented by ombre.
In order to dye your hair at home, it is recommended that you still choose an assistant. Usually for balayazha 2 or 3 shades are used at once, which smoothly shimmer from one to another, and are close in tone to the color of natural hair. The paint according to the instructions is diluted in a bowl, a brush is immediately laid out next to it, gloves are put on the hands, and the shoulders are protected with a towel or an old T-shirt.
In order not to harm the curls, it is recommended to carry out an operation on a dirty head. All hair is divided into six identical zones: the crown of the head, two temporal, two parietal and occipital. For convenience, each strand is fixed with a comfortable rubber band. First of all, the ends of the curls are processed: after applying the dye for about half an hour, it is necessary to thoroughly wash it off.
Following this, individual strands are processed, and the brush should move in the direction of hair growth, from roots to ends. The dye is applied to selected places with light, vertical movements, reminiscent of a broom stroke, so that the transition from one shade to another takes place. If desired, the roots are painted. This time, you need to wait from a quarter to a third of an hour, and then also rinse.
Some experts recommend applying the composition, as if drawing the Latin letter V. This means that the sides of the strand are painted over first, and then the ends are processed. As a rule, the package immediately contains a rinse conditioner, which is recommended to use according to the instructions.
Hair care after dyeing
In order for a balayazh not to leave curls for a long time, it is enough just to adhere to the rules of care. Hair is washed every 3 days, not more often, and this is done with the help of a product intended for colored hair. This variety, unlike the usual one, as if glues hair flakes and thereby prevents the dye from being washed out. If possible, then rinse the curls with mineral or spring water. To preserve lightening, it is necessary to reduce any heat treatment, for example, curling, blow-drying or straightening with an iron.
A couple of times a week it is worth treating hair with special resuscitating agents, and for curly and straight curls you should take different compositions. It should be mentioned that it is better for blond ladies to select colorless solutions, since clarified strands quickly absorb pigment, which means they can turn yellow from a particularly intense balm or spray. Brunettes in this regard are more fortunate, they can take any means. Somewhere after 3 months, the hut will have to be adjusted by updating the staining.
