Hidden dyeing on dark hair

Modern hairdressing does not stand still, new directions appear every season. To date, hidden or iridescent hair coloring is gaining particular popularity.

Hidden coloring came to us from foggy Albion and managed to win a lot of fans already. The essence of this technique is to dye the lower or middle layer of hair, which is closed under the main strands. This technique is especially popular with the younger generation, as well as with girls who want dramatic changes in appearance, but for one reason or another it is not permissible, for example, a strict dress code at work. The peculiarity of this staining is the color scheme, which is radically different from the natural curl.

Before staining dark curls, they must first be lightened, otherwise the desired bright shade will not work. Another feature is the length of the hair. It should be such that, if necessary, it was possible to hide colored curls, so this coloring is not suitable for all haircuts.

The disadvantages include the following:

• difficulty in staining, especially on its own, since all work is done on the back of the head;
• in the cabin, such a procedure is not cheap;
• weakening of the lower or middle layer of hair;
• additional hair care for this layer;
• frequent color correction.

Despite such difficulties, this technique has the following advantages:

• a huge selection of colors and variation of hairstyles;
• non-standard and attractive appearance;
• the ability to adjust to the makeup and main wardrobe of the girl;
• easily masked under the main layer of hair;
• versatility with respect to the color of the main hair - this coloring is equally suitable for dark-haired girls, and for blondes, and for owners of red curls.

In hidden staining, there are several types that differ in the staining density.

• Solid. This type is the most affordable for both home and salon performance. The basis is the color change of the entire row of hair, lower or middle, while only one shade is selected. Despite its simplicity and accessibility, it requires special care in separating the hair from each other. At home, a comb with a thin handle will help with this.
• Classic staining implies a color change only in some curls. It can also be called hidden highlighting. In this embodiment, you can also use only one or more colors.
• Ombre consists in a smooth transition of colors, while dyeing does not start from the roots of the hair. At home, to conduct such a technique, you will need two mirrors that will be located opposite each other, as well as a comb and brush.
• Zigzag or waves. This type is the most difficult, therefore it is not recommended to carry out independently. With this technique, curls are dyed through one. In this case, the first curl is colored from the root, the second - with a slight indentation and a smooth transition from one shade to another. For this type, it is common to use more than two colors, which gives the hairstyle even more extraordinary.

Despite the fact that this technique is considered complex, it can be done either independently or with the help of a friend. To do this, you need the following materials:

• paint;
• two mirrors;
• Cape on the shoulders;
• foil;
• comb and brush;
• plastic or glassware for paint dilution;
• gloves.

When everything is ready, you can proceed directly to the procedure itself, which includes several steps.

• Dyeing on dark hair should begin with lightening of individual strands or the entire layer of hair, depending on the type selected. For this, a clarifier is prepared in a container, and then applied to selected curls. In this case, it is necessary to carefully separate and protect the upper and lower layer from the middle, if it is painted with foil. This is necessary so that the clarifier does not fall on unpainted areas.
• The clarifier lasts from 20 to 40 minutes, depending on the intensity of the natural pigment and the desired result.
• Then it is washed off with shampoo. At this stage, it is not recommended to blow dry your hair.
• After the hair has dried, you can proceed to the main stage. To do this, mix all the components of the paint and apply to bleached hair
• With self-staining, the main thing is to choose the right angle. To do this, one mirror is installed in front of the face, and the second - behind, so that the back of the head is visible. Using a comb, the strands are neatly separated from each other and fixed with hairpins.
• Now, secured strands can be applied with paint. It must be kept for no more than 1 hour, and then it must be washed off with water and shampoo. It is also not recommended to dry them with a hairdryer.

Coloring in the style of "rainbow", like any other, causes a change in the structure of the hair to one degree or another, which is why such hair needs careful care.

It should consist in nutrition, moisturizing and preserving color. The following simple rules will help to maintain the health of curls and their color:

• After such a procedure, it is better to wash your hair with shampoo for colored hair or use sulfate-free products, as they will help maintain the color brightness for a long time;
• after each shampooing it is necessary to apply a moisturizing balm suitable for the type of hair;
• once a week it is worth making a nourishing mask for colored hair;
• do not often use a hair dryer when drying hair, as this can lead to brittleness and loss of color; for the same purpose, it is not recommended to be in the sun for a long time without a headdress;
• about a month after the first staining, a color correction should be done.
