Balayazh on dark hair of medium length

If a woman with dark hair decides to slightly change her image, then one of the most stylish solutions is dyeing in the fashionable balayazh technique. Balayazh looks pretty nice on dark hair, because it allows you to effectively beat your natural color and makes it possible to experiment with smooth transitions of various colors. Hair looks expensive and luxurious - this is undoubtedly a hallmark of technology.

The first hut was introduced in France in the 70s of the last century, but it began to enjoy the greatest popularity only in the last decade. In translation, balayage means "revenge, sweep", which gives two basic versions explaining the name of the technique:

• staining method - random strokes are applied to the strands, which on the side slightly resemble the sweep of a broom;
• the new shade seems to “sweep away” the original color, giving it brightness, shimmer, brilliance and undoubted nobleness.

The result of such coloring is iridescent strands, forming the effect of strands burned out in the sun. This color looks very impressive and at the same time stylish.

First of all, these are soft accents that are applied to the middle part of the hair and their ends, and secondly, a variation of the technique used.

• Full hut - the method is very similar to bronding, and in either case, several shades of the same color are used. This coloring looks natural and truly chic.
• Middle - Rather resembles ordinary highlighting, however, the coloring pigment in this case is applied randomly, and the number of strands is determined only by the woman herself.
• At the tips - as the name of the technique implies, here the paint is applied only to the very ends of the hair. This is the safest and most gentle option, in addition, if the experiment turned out to be unsuccessful, then at any time you can cut off the non-desired color without much damage to the length.

In most cases, the hammock is made in natural shades, but if the soul still asks for something bright and contrasting, then you can choose red, blue, orange, as well as pink, lilac or violet shades, while the borders between them are made out with pronounced and clear.

Balayazh technique has many advantages:

• suitable for both natural and colored hair;
• can be used for women of any age, style and social status;
• the composition is applied to locks of absolutely any length, this is the main difference between the technique and the same ombre, which looks good exclusively on long and medium hair;
• balayazh can radically change the appearance of a woman, add zest and sophistication to her appearance;
• it is considered a relatively gentle method, since in this case no more than 50% of the hair is covered with paint;
• masks minor defects in appearance, while emphasizing the depth of view and beautiful oval;
• it fits stylishly on straight and curly hair, can be used on thin and naughty hair;
• does not require frequent correction - staining should be repeated no more than 3-6 times during the year.

However, there were some cons:

• balayazh requires regular styling, if this is not done, then the hair will have an untidy and groomed appearance;
• the technique is quite complicated in execution, therefore it is better to contact professional masters for coloring, otherwise the result may not meet your expectations;
• when performing the technique on their own at home, in most cases it resembles the most common highlighting;
• when playing with dark curls it is very easy to make a mistake by choosing the right shades - in this case the hair will be dull and dirty.

Coloring in the balayazh technique in salons starts from 2000 rubles, while the higher the qualification of the master and the longer the hair, the higher the final cost. If you perform the work yourself, it will cost the cost of paint and related materials - brushes, wraps and gloves.

In order for the colored strands to look as impressive as possible, you should correctly select the right shade for coloring the strands. Keep in mind that balayazh does not accept the use of several colors - only experiments with shades of the same tone are possible here. For his choice, one should proceed from the main features of the appearance - color type and native shade.

Young ladies with dark curls should give preference to amber and bronze tones. Ash strands look pretty stylish, but keep in mind - in order to get the desired shade, for a start, the dark-haired young ladies will have to lighten part of the hair.

Black-haired women can be advised with pearl shades that will perfectly accentuate the hair of the color of the raven wing, this combination looks especially good on women with white skin and bright eyes.

Such colors are effective on long curls when the hair falls below the shoulder blades. However, there is a pronounced age limit - ladies who have crossed the 30-year line should be as careful as possible with the choice of ashy shades, since they tend to emphasize even the smallest wrinkles.

A rather elegant contrast is created by fiery red tones, such a hut, painted at the tips, looks especially good.

For dark brown hair it is worth taking a closer look at honey and caramel shades that emphasize the natural color, in this case, the general appearance of the hairstyle is obtained as natural and neat as possible.

If you carry out a hammock with the use of golden and beige tones, then you can achieve a flickering effect similar to fashionable armoring - in this case, the strands shimmer, this coloring looks especially good if you use several related shades.

For color staining here you can take yellow, orange and red shades.

For girls with dark brown hair, tortoise dyeing looks very impressive - here they combine golden blond, caramel, as well as honey and chocolate shades.

As a result, the curls turn out a little darker than the natural color, but due to the successful combination of shades, the locks begin to shine and shimmer.

There are some more interesting options for staining by the method of balayazh:

• cherry shade, as well as Bordeaux and Marsala look very stylish, and not only at the tips, but also along the entire length;
• stylists often recommend staining the roots in eggplant tones, combining them with burgundy colors - the best solution for brunettes with a winter color type;
• chestnut curls are tinted with amber, and the roots are painted in bronze colors;
• pink looks very good - both on its own and in combination with lilac or fuchsia;
• at the peak of popularity is blue-blue, which allows you to create a dazzling image, distinguishing its owner from any crowd.

Balayazh will be an excellent solution for those brunettes who do not intend to radically change their basic hair color, but at the same time tend to look more effective and attractive. The shade on the top of the head can be made a little darker or left the same, but the tips are slightly whitened, the contrast effect adds courage, a note of determination and challenge to the look.

Balayazh technology includes several stages.

• To begin with, the shock is divided into curls, fixing each of them with clips.
• The desired shade is applied to all the strands, while it is well distributed throughout the entire length. To make the border clearer, the coloring composition is applied to pieces of foil, they are wound on curls. However, if you want the tint to flow smoothly, you can do without foil.
• 3-4 minutes after applying the composition, the paint should be combed down with a comb - this will make the shade more wavy, and the transitions blurry.
• The paint is left for 20-25 minutes, after which it is washed off and the hair is treated with a fixative.

Girls who intend to make a bungalow at home should know several rules:

• all detergents and care products used must be marked “for dyed hair” - that is, without sulfate;
• when buying shampoo, conditioner and mask, give preference to those that have additional effects - preservation of color and enhanced shine;
• timely treat the ends of the hair with preparations against section and fragility, and in addition, cut them from time to time at the hairdresser;
• at least once every 2 weeks, apply reconstructive masks based on natural essential oils to the hair;
• when using a curling iron, ironing or hair dryer, first apply heat-protective complexes to the hair;
• try not to overdo it with foams, mousses and other styling products - their excessive amount gives the hair a scruffy and untidy look;
• When visiting the pool and on vacation, be sure to protect your strands from chlorine and ultraviolet radiation.

Balayazh is a staining technique, the history of which has more than 50 years, but the maximum surge in popularity occurred only in recent seasons.

Today, this method of coloring is one of the most popular and, accordingly, expensive staining methods. It is this style that such cult divas as Julia Roberts, Gisele Bündchen, Erin Wasson and many other famous Hollywood actresses and popular models preferred.

Balayazh looks spectacular on black hair, especially if you color them with ash and pearl shades - the image becomes very well-groomed and refined.

For owners of chestnut curls, honey and caramel tones are suitable, in this case, the hair looks as natural as possible.

In most cases, I use the technique for long-haired women, but for owners of short strands, you can use some subtleties - namely: choose a shade that is as close to natural as possible, use 2-4 similar tones so that the transition is almost invisible. By the way, stylists believe that it is possible to carry out the most daring experiments on short hair - since such hair grows pretty quickly, and a woman can cut off at any time everything that she did not like when coloring, trying some new interesting option.

Experts predict that balayazh will remain in fashion for more than one season, and this is not surprising, because it helps women look younger, more spectacular and attractive.
