Coloring on medium hair: features and choice of shades

Every girl loves to change something in her appearance. The easiest way to do this is through colorization. Coloring is a fashionable coloring, which involves the use of several shades. As a rule, we are talking about natural tones that allow you to create natural highlights and overflows. But modern masters also own techniques for creative staining in bright colors. With such a hairstyle, any girl will be in the spotlight.

Today, more and more often you can see girls who have several shades in their hair. The choice in favor of coloring is determined by the desire not only to diversify your usual look, but also to save your hair. After all, brightening all hair at once is rather harmful, and over time it becomes very difficult to maintain their healthy, well-groomed appearance. When coloring, various tones complement the basic color of the hair, resulting in a more voluminous and original hairstyle.

The technique resembles conventional highlighting: colored strands act only as bright accents. Often a cap or foil is also used for the procedure. In the first case, the hairdresser selects locks from the total mass of hair: this is convenient when working with short and thick locks. When working with a hat, thin strands are pushed into micro-holes, as a result of the technique, color transitions are softer. Red hair color is combined with strands from blond to shimmering coffee.Dark - with locks from red to violet, and light - with lingonberry, lilac locks.

With all the variety of colorizing options, they are all divided into two large groups: vertical and horizontal.

• Vertical coloring involves dyeing hair in many shades, as a result it seems that each strand is slightly different in color from the other.

• Horizontal coloring - this is usually no more than 4 shades. To do it, you need to divide the hair into several parts and dye each of them in its own color, while the darkest is used on top, and the lightest - at the ends.

Basic Techniques
