But before rushing to the salon, we will find out what new products await us in the magical world of hair coloring next season.
Kinds
First, we will study the interesting trends of coloring, which appeared in hairdressing. First of all, the chosen style should be relevant and suitable for you. Naturalness is the main fashion trend of the current season. We slightly change our natural hair color, for this there are many dyeing techniques: balayazh and shatush, bronding and colombra, pixel technique and stencils. Let's consider each view in more detail.
Sombre and Ombre
Sombre and ombre - this classic staining looks best on brown-haired women and brunettes. If your master does everything right, then the transition from dark to light hair will be almost invisible, as if your hair was slightly burnt out in the southern sun. Ombre differs from sombre in the transition from dark to light. Most often, a blurred border separating two tones is located in the middle of the head. On blondes, this effect will be almost imperceptible.And the style of sombre is glare, easy burnout. Most often, glare is located at the bottom of the hairstyle, the roots being longer than the main hair color. The transition of tones from dark to light should be barely noticeable.
Colombra
Remember the time when some particularly brave girls painted in rainbow colors? Colombra is the same, only this method was modernized and made less sparing. In this case, the main hair length and roots do not need to be pre-clarified. To get the perfect result, only the tips require prior clarification. Then, paint is applied to the entire length of the hair, the ends become expressive and brighter.
Balayazh
Another kind of highlighting, but the strands are not highlighted along the entire length, but only by two-thirds. To give the image a natural naturalness, it is necessary to use several shades of paint, the transitions should be barely noticeable. A true professional will color your hair so that it is not clear how this effect was achieved. And it will become interesting to close friends where you got this shade of hair - grew the tips or they burnt out in the sun.
Balayazh was very fond of middle-aged women for its masking properties. After all, now you can easily hide the gray locks, they, on the contrary, become attractive and stylish.
Shatush
Shatush is the most versatile technique to date. This technique uses the maximum stretching of the color, spend it in the air so that the hair looks more shiny and vibrant. Suitable for both the younger generation and for women of advanced age. The only limitation is the length of the hair, because on short hair it will be very difficult to achieve the effect of color stretching. Owners of fiery shades of hair will also have a hard time. But there is a way out, having previously painted the entire length in a light tone, you can begin to stain the rods with the technique.
Bronzing
Bronding is another fashion trend. With this technique, the effect of soft overflow of colors is created, the main thing is not to overdo it, but to make the coloring as natural as possible. The most popular combination of chocolate and coffee shades, followed by honey and hazel blond. On long straight hair it will look perfect, on wavy and curly looks sloppy. Most suitable for brunettes.
Pixel technique
Pixel technique - burst rapidly into the fashionable world of colorists, torn to pieces all previous ideas for changing hair color. The ancestors of this innovative technique are the Spaniards. Consider what pixel technology is. Let's imagine a tetris game, running figures in the form of polygons and small squares. Here are approximately the same patterns you can create on the surface of the hair to lovely ladies. There are very few specialists working in this complex technique. Admirers of this technique are undoubtedly bright, non-trivial personalities, those who do not like everyday life and monotony.
Unfortunately, the mistresses of curls will not be able to perform pixel coloring, the picture simply "gets lost" in a curly head. But on the head with long straight hair it will look enchanting.
Screen Coloring
Screen coloring. With the help of this technique, drawings and original patterns are performed on the hair. They do this with special mock-ups, that is, stencils that are made of silicone. Such stencils are applied to the hair and stained with either tonic or spray paint. It can be applied to individual areas, for example, only on bangs. As a rule, such an image is short-lived - for parties and shows where you need to look shocking.
Curly hair is contraindicated for such dyeing, because the pattern is uneven, the hairstyle looks untidy.
Coloring long hair has its own characteristics.You can be proud of long hair, since it is not easy to care for such a shock, one daily styling is worth it. Waist-length hair enchants and captivates the eyes, but they will pay even more attention to you if the master colorist paints them beautifully.
If you compare short and long hair, then long give out a large number of split ends. Therefore, the staining procedure should be carried out as carefully as possible.
- Coloring is a more gentle way of updating color. This technique allows you to experiment with shades and focus on both individual parts of the head and on its entire surface. You can not be afraid of creative ideas and choose not only natural shades, but also contrasting tones.
- When colorizing, it is necessary to create smooth, barely noticeable transitions. If your natural hair color is dark, then you can leave it as a base, brightening only the tips. More courageous and decisive representatives of the female population can take a chance and try to make a colored ombre.
- If you have chosen a complex staining technique, it is important not to forget about your facial features. It turns out that the shape of the face, which has flaws, can be visually adjusted using bronding, ombre, or shuttle.
- If you are a fan of experimenting with hair coloring at home, then you need to know what types are unacceptable for you. It is not easy to stain a hut, and even more so, bronding yourself, because it is difficult to perform for lay people.

How to make at home?
If you are too lazy to go to the hairdresser or do not have enough money, then you can try to dye your hair at home yourself. The staining performed by the master will differ in quality by an order of magnitude higher, however, after reading some simple tips, you can carry out the procedure correctly.
No matter how long your hair is and what shade you choose, you will need:
- ceramic bowl for diluting the coloring composition;
- plastic gloves;
- a comb, it is better if its teeth are large and rare;
- cloak or old towel;
- paint brush.
We list successively the necessary actions.
- Those who have already tried to dye their own hair, knows how difficult it is. You need to take a comfortable pose and choose a method of application so that the entire surface of the hair is colored. The most difficult area is the occipital part of the head. And you can accidentally get, instead of hair, on the neck, forehead and temples. To prevent this from happening, apply a greasy cream to these areas. Thus, trapped paint can be removed without difficulty.
- Divide the hair into four parts: left-temporal and right-temporal, from the forehead to the crown and from the crown to the back of the head. Painting begins from the back of the head. It is better to apply the paint to slightly damp hair for a deeper penetration.
- For uniform application, start with the roots along the parting. Then proceed to the front, distribute the paint first on the roots, then move on to the ends of the hair. Paint the remaining areas in the same way.
- If paint remains, apply it closer to the roots, and spread the comb evenly over the surface of the hair.
- A hat does not need to be worn; modern compositions do not require this. After 30-40 minutes, rinse with warm water and shampoo and apply balm. It is better to use products for colored hair.
Some tips for beginner homegrown colorists:
- do not overdo the paint, otherwise the hair structure may be damaged;
- for the first coloring, select a shade of 2-3 tones different from your natural;
- do not wash your hair immediately the next day, it is better that three days pass;
- Do not use a metal comb, it can affect the chemical composition of the paint and lead to unpredictable consequences.
