3D-hair coloring: features and technique

In a desire to improve their image, women all over the world resort to hair dyeing services. Today there are a huge number of such techniques that have their own characteristics. Among the options for dyeing the latest generation, the popular 3D procedure should be highlighted, the result of which is the most natural look and color of hair.

The goal of most techniques for partial dyeing of hair, such as highlighting, coloring or balayazh, is to change the original color to a different and even radically different. However, along with similar services, 3D coloring is highlighted today, which at first glance might seem like the possibility of an easier color change.

Due to this specificity, 3D dyeing makes it possible to get the most natural result on the hair, and additional shades will only emphasize the brightness of the original hair color, which will look even more interesting. The strands will shimmer in the rays of artificial or natural lighting, but the overall appearance will not seem acquired by painting, but rather natural, modified from natural factors. The key to such a result will be a competent selection of color combinations.

At the very beginning, only blondes used the volume dyeing service, however, today masters in the salons offer a similar service to dark-haired girls and brown-haired women. In each case, its own color palette is used, consisting of light brown, red or dark colors.

A very important task of the master in the salon will be to create a smooth flow of two, three or four shades from one to the other on the hair. At the same time, the boundaries between them must be washed out, this is necessary to create a natural staining result. In addition, such a harmonious reception will provide visual volume and shine to the hair. The hairdresser focuses on the occipital area and the roots of curls when dyeing. You can subject your hair to 3D dyeing regardless of its length and type of hair shaft.

Brunettes masters in beauty salons can offer a more advanced color palette, but blondes will be able to create a brilliant and beautiful game of colors and shades on their hair. Dark-haired girls and women will have lively chocolate-nut shades on their hair, for blondes they use beautiful caramel or straw shades, as well as the option of cold blonde and platinum.

Women who choose the most suitable option for harmonious, and most importantly, gentle staining, should take into account one feature of the technique.

Like any other salon technique of working with hair using coloring compounds, 3D-staining has its positive and negative sides. Among the advantages of such a painting, the following points are worth noting.

• A haircut after using several shades of the base color will look many times more natural. Even provided that the basic base light or dark color is not natural for a girl.
• This dyeing technique is recommended for owners of thin hair rods, since the result of the inclusion of additional shades in the total mass of hair will be the creation of a visually magnificent and dense hairstyle.
• Hair color becomes brilliant, which means it acquires dynamism, which positively affects the general appearance of the fair sex and haircut as a whole. As practice shows, in curls after staining, the gloss increases by 50%.
• 3D-dyeing makes it possible to highlight with a different shade of color not only all hair, but also only a certain area in the hairstyle. Thanks to this, it will be possible to focus on a particular area in the haircut.
• The technique does not need frequent correction. Especially if staining was carried out on a natural basis.
• Dyeing is a universal way of transforming hair, therefore, has no age restrictions. In addition, hair of different structure, length and type lends itself to dyeing.
• The technique stands out for its safety for the general condition of the hair. In the course of work with coloring compounds, the risk of contact of funds with skin remains minimal.
• The used palette of shades stands out for its variety, as a result of which it will be possible to choose the most harmonious color option for any source type.

However, the procedure is not without its drawbacks:

• First of all, it concerns high cost;
• to make such a stain at home will be very difficult;
• hair color correction over time should be entrusted to a professional;
• all work with hair will take quite a lot of time - about 3-4 hours;
• the hair after dyeing will need to be taken care of, otherwise the curls will look very dull externally.

To achieve the desired effect on light or dark hair, certain sequential actions should be performed.

• At the first stage, it is necessary to clearly determine the working color. As a rule, the wizard compares the base color of the curls with those available in the palette, although sometimes a visual assessment will be enough for a specialist.
• Next, you should choose a shade in this gamut. For the most harmonious image, it will be more correct to use several shades - from two to five. These shades will be lighter.
• For the roots, you need to choose a dark shade of the main color. Such a feature in the selection of working materials will make it possible to make the painting as close as possible to the natural transition of colors that can fade under the influence of ultraviolet radiation or change in another natural way.

To work with hair using the 3D dyeing technique, you will need the following set of materials and tools:

• coloring compounds in the selected amount (it is best that the funds were from the same brand);
• personal protective equipment - gloves, cape, apron;
• foil, which should be cut into small strips to delimit the strands in the process of working with paint;
• container for diluting paints, brushes;
• clips or elastic bands for hair;
• beaker.

Before you breed formulations and start dyeing your hair, you need to carefully plan your upcoming work. As a rule, the master makes a schematic picture of the location of the selected shades, taking into account the base color, structure and length of the curls. To help with drawing up the painting scheme, you can use the standard universal option, which allows you to successfully perform 3D-painting.

A universal scheme for working with shades is as follows.

• The painting process begins with the back of the head. The main task at this stage is to dye the main color of the hair in the shape of a triangle.
• Then, strands should be separated and dyed from the formed triangle from the sides, the width of which will vary within 2 centimeters. In this case, a composition is used that will be lighter by one position.
• The following curls will be stained with even brighter paint.
• Next, the master will start working with hair again with a basic shade. The remaining mass of hair will need to be dyed in the same sequence, alternating light and dark shades of paint.
• Moving gradually down, you should leave a horizontal strip with not yet processed curls, which should be painted with alternating shades from top to bottom.
• Then, work should be done with hair located at the temples and on the same line in the forehead.
• The parietal region on the head should be painted according to a similar pattern of alternating tones in the last turn.

To separate the stained layers, you should use foil, wrapping curls with applied paint in it. The composition on the hair should be kept as long as the manufacturer recommends. The paint is washed off with shampoo for colored hair. To nourish hair and facilitate combing, it is recommended to use a balm.

The algorithm for performing the work described above is quite laborious, requiring some experience with hair dyeing. In particular, this technology will take maximum time with long hair.

Dyeing should be performed by analogy with highlighting, regardless of whether dark or blond hair is dyed. A beautiful effect can be achieved by staining the strands in a checkerboard pattern, alternating shades of the selected light color, or else resort to the option of zigzag dyeing.

• Over time, the composition of the hair should be washed off. Let the curls dry.
• Then apply the main tone on the entire volume and length of the hair. To withstand the set time.
• Wash your hair with shampoo and balm. Make styling.

Of course, after dyeing the hair rods will need special care. The use of high-quality compounds for colored hair will allow them to recover faster after contact with chemicals, in addition, specialized products will positively affect the shine of colored strands and the durability of 3D-dyeing in general. In particular, proper care will be for long strands, as well as curly curls, which are usually prone to dryness and brittleness.

In addition to store products, many masters in the salons recommend after caring for hair dyeing after using 3D stains when using home formulations. For example, instead of a purchased balm, you can make a nutritious option for hair restoration based on oils, yolk, sour-milk products. As a useful tool to maintain the shine of colored strands, a weak solution based on table vinegar is suitable.
