• Horizontal This coloration is also called transverse. In this case, the curls are painted parallel to the direction of their growth. Usually the hair is visually divided from the roots to the middle - one color is applied here, as a rule, a little darker, and the ends are tinted into another. The result of such a paint application is the effect of slightly regrown hair, which for several seasons has been considered one of the most TOP trends.

• Partial (zonal). Coloring involves the allocation of a separate area on the pile and its further staining. Most often, bangs or temporal areas are painted. Thus, you can smooth the oval of the face and emphasize the geometry of the hairstyle.

• Longitudinal (vertical). In this design, individual locks are painted, each in a different color, selected by the stylist. Today, blondes give preference to Italian, California and Venetian highlighting, bronding and balayazh staining techniques.

• Stencil. The most popular and creative color scheme, it is suitable for decisive and daring women who are not afraid to attract the attention of others. In this case, the master uses a stencil, with the help of which he carefully distributes the coloring paste on the surface of the hair and creates original ornaments for it - leaves, patterns, waves, as well as spots and other patterns. It should be noted that this staining is not suitable for everyone - it can be performed only on perfectly smooth and even curls.

• Complete. It implies painting the entire mop with the main shade and creating spectacular accents in other colors throughout the head. The result is a stylish and expressive contrast effect.

• "Salt and pepper" - This is a very effective technique, but it is suitable only for owners of light brown and ash curls, as well as gray-haired women. At the same time, individual strands are given a platinum, pearl or steel shade, and in order for the coloring to become even more effective, the tips are additionally tinted in shades of a darker color.
