Hair strobing: advantages and disadvantages of the dyeing technique

In the life of every girl or woman, a moment comes when you want to change something in your appearance. It is difficult to decide on radical changes: after all, an unsuccessful hairstyle or coloring will be difficult to change.

Initially, the concept of strobing appeared in makeup. Then this technique began to be used in hairdressing. Its essence is to darken and brighten certain areas in order to hide imperfections and emphasize the winning features of appearance. Experienced craftsmen are thus able to adjust their appearance and significantly improve their appearance. Strobing hair involves highlighting individual strands, thereby changing the perception of skin tone and facial features. The specialist highlights the strands: some of them are darkened, while others, on the contrary, are lightened. This pattern on the hair refreshes the face and gives it a natural elegance.

This technique requires an individual approach to each client. In order for the result to be of high quality and fully meet expectations, it is necessary to take into account the features of appearance, face shape, color type, the presence of gray hair and their number. Only after a detailed analysis of these factors can a specialist begin staining.

And yet, the most attractive such dyeing looks on brown hair. The contrasting locks in the case of strobe make the hairstyle unnatural and overly catchy. Dark hair with such coloring takes an untidy appearance.

Blondes and dark-haired girls can be strobed only with preliminary training. Its essence is to lighten or darken the natural shade. In this case, it will be possible to achieve the desired result. Owners of curly short, medium and long hair strobe is suitable in the first place. Due to this feature of the hair, the boundaries between the colored strands are erased and shaded. Hairstyle turns out as natural as possible. There are few specialists who are able to perform the procedure at a high level. Not every salon offers hair strobe.

Strobing is a unique procedure, which has more and more fans. To better familiarize yourself with its features, you need to study the positive and negative points. Consider the advantages of strobing.

• Staining affects only the upper layer of the strands, so the damage to the hair is minimal. Especially when compared with highlighting and full staining.
• The ability to change the appearance and hide its shortcomings. This is an important advantage of the procedure.
• Giving hair volume, and hair style - dynamism and expressiveness.
• Create a fresh look.
• Strobing technique is suitable for every girl and woman, taking into account the analysis of the features of appearance, color selection and highlighting the desired strands.

Unfortunately, negative characteristics are also characteristic of this technique.

• Obligatory analysis of the features of appearance that not every master can perform at height.
• Too limited number of masters who are really versed in this technique and are able to apply it while achieving high results.
• Before staining, a number of preliminary procedures must be performed.
• High price, which is determined by a large number of factors. In regions, the cost of strobing is kept within 5 thousand rubles. In Moscow salons, this figure increases several times.

Masters who specialize in strobing use a large number of techniques and techniques in their work. Their choice is based on a preliminary analysis of the features of appearance and hair. If the technique is chosen incorrectly, then the result can turn out as bad as possible. Two shades are commonly used. One is chosen 2 shades darker than the natural shade of the hair. The second will be 2 tones lighter in comparison with the natural color of the hair. First of all, the strands are painted in a light tone, then darker paint is used. The strands can be colored in whole or in part.

Strobing masters in the choice of dyeing technique are guided first of all on the shape of the face.

• Chubby girls bangs are clarified without fail. If it is absent, the upper strand, which is slightly above the hairline, is dyed in a light tone. Side curls are painted in dark color. Untouched hair partially responds starting from the roots. Long straight hair is more suitable for this technique.

• For oval face no special adjustment is required. In this case, the strobing is aimed at setting the right accents. Shades for coloring strands are selected so that they are in harmony with the color of the eyes.

• Girls with rectangular or square face lighten side strands near the cheekbones. The hair, which is located below the cheekbones, remains in dark color. Most successfully, such staining looks with an oblique bang, which is often also stained in a light tone.This technique distracts attention from the chin and forehead, rounds off angular lines and gives the image of femininity.

• For triangular face Dark oblique bangs are required. She will be able to disguise too expressive forehead. Strands of hair that are located on the same level as the chin and neck are colored in light shades.

• Too much elongated oval requires asymmetric staining. The essence of this technique is the uneven coloring of the strands. The hairstyle with a long bang diluted with light strands that fits on the side part looks amazing.

• Oval face in trapezoid shape requires hiding the expressive jaw and cheeks. Masters create a contrast of light and dark shades at the level of the cheekbones. The oval of the face will visually narrow, and the massive line of the chin will not be so obvious.

The choice of dyeing technique is based not only on the analysis of the face shape, but also on the natural shade of the hair. There is a single dyeing scheme in which changes are made depending on the natural shade of the hair. Do the strobing using the following technology:

• initially selected technique, which is based on a detailed analysis of the appearance;
• hair is piled in a ponytail;
• in turn, the desired strands are pulled, which will subsequently be dyed;
• paint is prepared and applied with a special brush;
• the strands in turn are wrapped in foil and left in this position for a certain time;
• the foil unfolds, the paint is washed off.

Now it is worth considering the features of strobing, depending on the natural shade of the hair.

• Black hair are one of the most difficult options. In this case, the strobing technique turns out to be multi-stage. Black hair needs to be lightened, often this procedure is divided into several stages: otherwise you can burn the hair. After clarification, the paint is selected in accordance with the shade obtained.
• Dark hair do not need clarification, the result of strobing will already turn out good. The master can only choose the right shades of paint.
• Red hair least suitable for strobing. Such hair is already bright, so choosing the right shades is not an easy task. For bright red tones, brown tones with a honey tint are most suitable. Gray-red hair is shaded with dark blond colors. In the case of natural shades with a red tint, blond paint options are selected.

A well-made strobing looks gorgeous, such hair attracts attention, the look involuntarily stops at them. We have selected the most successful examples.
