Most dark hair coloring techniques are based on highlighting. Known to almost everyone, it is especially recommended for women who are afraid of sudden changes, and at the same time want to look unusual. Dark hair is refreshed by bleaching individual strands of hair.

Two-tone coloring made Christina Aguilera fashionable, her followers first became Lady Gaga and Rihanna, and then most of the female half of the world's population. The hair of brunettes is not so easy to colorists. Therefore, girls and women unfamiliar with the art of dyeing are advised not to experiment, but to entrust the hairstyle to the skillful hands of professionals.

If, nevertheless, you decide on an independent highlighting of dark hair, then it is worth considering all the recommendations of professionals:

The first step is to prepare the necessary tools:

• plastic gloves;
• foil or a special hat, depending on the painting technique;
• an unnecessary towel or a large piece of cloth to protect clothing from paint;
• a sharp-pointed comb or a crochet hook for pulling out the locks;
• paints and containers for them;
• balm and shampoo for bleached or dyed hair.

To give strands of white color, there are several types of decolorizing compounds:

• pastes and gels;
• concealers and powders;
• oxidizing emulsions;
• cream paints.

When choosing a clarifier, it is preferable to first seek the advice of a professional.

The exposure time also affects the sharpness of the color of the blond, in brunettes it reaches 50 minutes or more.

You will spend more than two hours on creating black and white shades at home, at the hairdresser the same procedure will take a master and a half hours. Staining lasts a very long time, because paints in black and white shades do not wash off for a long time.

In addition to highlighting, there are other techniques that can be used to give extravagance to your image.

• Ombre. The method has gained popularity in the last few years. The motto of the ombre: “Down with modesty!”, Because the transition from white to black is most noticeable. Often the hair is completely repainted, the natural shade is replaced by a black and white gradient.

• Coloring is horizontal. One type of ombre. Hair is dyed not from the roots to the ends, but, conversely, from the ends to the top of the head.

• Coloring is transverse. Another kind of ombre, but made with deliberate rudeness. The transition from black to white is pretty sharp. More suitable for brunettes.

• Bronzing. Color only the ends of the hair. Thus, the hair roots remain natural, and the ends turn into blond. It is very convenient for those who rarely visit beauty salons or those who grow their hair. The relevance of the hairstyle does not suffer, regrown hairs are as beautiful as after a visit to the hairdresser.

• Partial coloring. Color only a selected area of ​​hair. Someone paints a bang or strand, while someone chooses a whole segment. To achieve maximum effect, the hair should be the same shade. Creative craftsmen can give your haircut the color of a raccoon or any other pattern.

Several important recommendations from experts will help to avoid mistakes when dyeing short hair in two colors.

• No need to refuse bronding to owners of wavy hair. This type of coloring will emphasize your cheekbones, refresh the complexion of a pale or dull skin type, and most importantly - will structure your hair style.
• Ladies in age should avoid contrasting shades, because too bright colors will only emphasize a mature age.
• If the coloring errors are not too noticeable on curly hair, then the owners of straight hair should be careful - smooth hair will give out any poor quality touch in the work of the master.
• Highlighting is most suitable for women with a dark complexion - the tan will shade unobtrusively.
• For those whom nature has not endowed with voluminous hair, it is worth resorting to 3D-dyeing or cranking - with the help of these techniques volume and splendor will appear.
• Contrasting shades with double staining are best used by owners of thick hair.

Care for colored hair. Recommendations of professionals.

• In no case do not ignore the balm. Its use will help restore the water balance of the hair, since during the coloring process, part of the water is significantly lost.
• Hair care only with special products. Balms and shampoos for clarified hair are perfect, they should be used strictly according to the instructions.
• Subsequent staining should be done no earlier than 2-3 months later. This is the period for the full restoration of damaged strands.
• After washing, do not resort to combing or rubbing your hair with a towel.
• Try to use a hairdryer and curling iron as little as possible, because your hair is already weakened.
• To speed up the regeneration of hair, use healing and nourishing masks.

When painted in black and white tones, both the external appearance and the inner world radically change. And in order not to look like a black and white magpie, approach the change of appearance as carefully as possible, after having weighed all the pros and cons.

Consider a few more techniques for coloring women's short haircuts, as well as their pros and cons.

Several color schemes in one hairstyle is a balayazh. A game of all kinds of shades with highlights on separate locks will give a contrast even to a timid and inconspicuous girl, because not only facial features, but also the beauty of her hair will appear in an advantageous light. When stained in the balayazh technique, curls are given shades that are close to natural.

The word balayage comes from the French “sweeping”.

Therefore, the master makes brush strokes as if with a brush, and if it is rougher, like a broom. It is important to observe several rules:

• brush strokes for coloring only vertical, from top to bottom;
• the shade chosen for coloring should be adjusted to the native color;
• the tone should go unevenly, the gain goes to the tips, the upper part is as if slightly powdered;
• noticeable transitions are unacceptable to give the impression of naturalness.

Pros: looks great on short hair, has no age restrictions, you can rarely visit a beauty salon - as regrowth, overgrown roots are not visible. Cons: the procedure takes quite a long time, does little harm at the place of staining.

You see a woman, her hair as if slightly touched by the sunshine of the southern islands. And you still have 9 months before the vacation, but you want to look the same right here and now. Then you just need to go to an experienced craftsman who is well versed in the technique of painting cranks. Smooth transitions from dark to light and glare are natural - you wanted this effect.

But before reaching the desired result, the master must fulfill several important conditions:

• first select the desired shade and prepare the dye according to the technology;
• correctly divide hair into zones;
• comb certain areas and distribute dye on them;
• the degree of staining is determined by the master, and if necessary, corrects it;
• after 40 minutes of waiting, the paint is washed off;
• if tinting is required, the wizard performs this procedure.

Only one minus - the procedure is quite expensive.

This type of staining is still unfamiliar to Russian fashionistas. Mazhimesh - a kind of highlighting, but more sparing. Preparations for this procedure do not contain ammonia. Used in the form of a creamy substance with the addition of excipients and wax. This creates the effect of strands with golden tints.

Pros:

• the natural effect is achieved thanks to smooth transitions, so the hair looks shiny, vibrant and dynamic;
• can be used even on damaged and overdried hair, because the paint contains no ammonia;
• Suitable for any hair structure: wavy, straight and very curly;
• frequent correction and tinting is not required, because the color transition is smoothly stretched, barely noticeable, which means that updating will be required only after 3-4 months;
• Looks great on haircuts such as a ladder and a cascade.

Minuses:

• such a composition is still problematic, especially in the provinces;
• since this type of staining is a novelty, for some time it will be significantly more expensive compared to other types.

Despite the new method of coloring, especially ardent women of fashion show miracles and manage to get the magic composition for the majimesh procedure. The procedure itself is carried out as follows.

• In addition to paint, you need a comb or brush. Air coloring without shelter, smears applied with a brush.
• Depending on what result you want to get, you need to choose a staining technique. It is also affected by the length and initial color of the hair. No need to panic, if suddenly you overexposed the paint - gentle components will not damage your hair.
• For a more pronounced result, the colored and wrapped in foil strands are heated with a hairdryer. Dyes penetrate the structure of the hair faster, and the color becomes more contrast.
• A tip is considered erroneous: apply paint to dirty hair. Dust and sebum will not allow the paint to penetrate deep into the hair structure, which means that the desired result will not be achieved. Do not forget about the instructions and strictly follow it.

• Black and white on the hair can be combined in different ways: one side is black, the other is white; white fringe, black base; locks both black and white.

• Bronding. The basis of the chocolate color, golden locks.

• Balayazh brown with red locks.
