Three-color hair coloring

Coloring with one color has long been no longer in trend: the richer the palette, the more interesting and original the hairstyle. It is not necessary to take extreme colors that are far from natural tones, although this is now possible. As for the length of the strands, a fashionable haircut on short hair can also be dyed in three colors, and it will look great.

A three-dimensional effect is created when painting the strands in different tones, but part of the curls remains a natural color. Thus, the hairstyle seems to come to life, it becomes voluminous due to the play of light and shadow. The obvious advantages of this technique are:

• haircut looks natural;
• the basal zone, as a rule, remains a natural shade, which eliminates regular tinting;
• from staining does not affect the density of hair and their splendor;
• technology allows you to mask gray hair;
• no more than half of all hair is stained, which doubles their damage if bleaching on darker curls is necessary, followed by coloring in the right tone.

Of the minuses, it is worth noting:

• the impossibility of carrying out the procedure after painting along the entire length and chemical waving;
• partial deterioration of the condition of the hair with intermediate bleaching;
• the unacceptability of the technique with prolonged use of henna as a dye.

Many questions arise about the age at which coloring in three colors is more appropriate. The answer will please fashionistas: in fact, any lady can afford such a pleasure.Of course in adulthood tones are desirable to choose natural, more muffled and not sharply contrasting, but young ladies are recommended bright shadesup to the most unusual.

But in all cases, it is worth considering the initial color of the hair, skin and eyes, as well as the general condition of the curls. But if it comes to intensive staining using flushing and discoloration, the procedure is not recommended:

• pregnant and lactating mothers;
• those who suffer from hormonal imbalances:
• for brunettes, especially burning ones, three-color highlighting is also not desirable, since strong lightening is required.

The choice depends on the preferences of the woman, but professionals do not recommend lightening hair more than 4 tones: unfortunately, even gentle dyes damage the structure of natural hair. The technique is intended rather to emphasize the natural beauty of the hairstyle, so it is advisable shades 1-2 tones lighter or darker than your own hair. In principle, this range is acceptable to expand up to 3-4 tones. In the cabin can offer the following shade options for each hair color:

• blondes - light and dark blond, pale red (2-3 tones darker);
• girls with brown hair - light and dark chestnut (darker by 1-2 tones);
• brown hair - chocolate, light and dark chestnut, light brown shades;
• red - chestnut, chocolate, light blond tone;
• in the presence of gray hair - shades of black, ash, graphite;
• brunettes - chestnut and chocolate shades.

For blondes, coloring should be done 1-3 tones darker, at the same time, brighter, unexpected tones, knocking out of a natural palette, are suitable for this category of ladies.

Three-color coloring of short haircuts can be done on their own at home. It is more difficult to carry out this procedure on medium hair. If the young lady has long ringlets, then it makes no sense to suffer: it is better to go to the salon.

The advantage of home painting in the first place is cost savings, but in other way, you may not achieve the desired effect. The reasons for failure may be the lack of proper experience, the inconvenience of painting curls located on the back of the head, and insufficient lighting. In addition, the fashionista must carefully consider every shade that she wants to reproduce.
