Hair coloring in bright colors: types and technology of execution

Blondes have always been considered the standard of femininity and tenderness. Probably there is no woman who would never have thought about lightening her hair. Such staining requires accuracy and caution, but the result invariably looks very impressive.

Dyeing hair in a light color is accompanied by stress for curls, because in order to obtain the desired color, it is necessary to completely or partially neutralize the coloring pigment inside the hair shaft. To do this, you have to use special chemical compounds that loosen the keratin layer, which protects the curls from the aggressive effects of external factors, and maintains the necessary moisture level.

As a result, the strands lose their luster, become “straw” to the touch, and the tensile strength decreases markedly, which leads to brittleness and cross-section. If a woman tries to transform from a brunette to a blonde for a single coloring, then the end result will be very deplorable - a dull tow will appear on her head, which is difficult to comb, impossible to lay down and unpleasant to touch. Too much bleaching can often damage the hair follicle and cause hair loss.

The choice of shade of light should be approached with caution, the age of the woman does not play any role here, but the color type must be taken into account. So ladies with a "warm" type are distinguished by dark skin and dark hair, they are suitable for honey, wheat, gold and light chestnut shades. But young ladies with fair skin and hair should opt for the "cold" tones of ash, platinum or pearl color.

If the shade was chosen correctly, then a woman will immediately receive several advantages of blondes:

• blond - This is a natural shade that never goes out of fashion and does not lose its relevance, in contrast to all other color schemes on the hair;
• additional volume - even the thinnest hair in a light version becomes more fluffy and thick;
• refreshing effect - It has long been known that a face framed by light strands looks younger and more attractive.

Stylists do not recommend resorting to lightening dark-skinned women with dark hard hair, in this case, the blond will look extremely unnatural, and the staining procedure itself is fraught with a number of problems. Keep in mind that the darker the native shade, the more difficult it is to achieve a pure light color, as a rule, black curls are first discolored with a 9% oxidizing agent (for comparison, 6% concentration of the active substance is used on fair and fair hair) - This is a more aggressive composition that leads to the destruction of hair, which causes their dryness and brittleness.

Light shades are not recommended for owners of pale, painful skin - in this case, girls will need to apply complex multilayer makeup to even out their complexion. Ladies with acne, acne and other skin problems are also not recommended light shades. Faces with a large number of moles in this color do not look very successful - because in the frame of white strands from afar, they can look like black dots.

There are several options for staining in bright colors. Depending on the color, the blond may be:

• platinum or ashen - for owners of pale skin;

• light blond or honey - for slightly tanned skin;

• light chestnut - for swarthy women.

Be sure to take into account the color of the woman’s eyes, for example, copper, wheat and golden shades go well with greens, for blues platinum or pearl should be preferred, and for brown, caramel shades and the color of coffee with milk will be the best option.

For many years, women who dreamed of becoming blondes resorted to multi-color dyeing, when all hair was lightened with paint in one tone of light. This technique has many disadvantages:

• injures hair, because the chemical composition acts on all strands, without exception;
• with self-coloring, an uneven distribution of paint is possible and, as a result, finished colors will also turn out to be “strong”;
• the technique does not create color and glare on the strands of overflows, and therefore the curls look dull in most cases.

To minimize all of these negative effects of lightening, stylists have created several more advanced staining techniques, which in recent years have been very popular with the fair sex. Staining with dark roots - in this case, a darker crown from a sign of groomed turned into a stylish trend. Hair begins to dye, retreating from the roots by 3-5 cm, while a soft transition is created along the entire length from dark at the top to light at the ends. This technique has many advantages - the hairstyle becomes more magnificent, even the roughest facial features are smoothed out, the paint acts sparingly, and adjustments to such colors require no more than 3 times a year.

In recent years, painting in the style of balayazh has become very fashionable - this is a French technique in which the coloring composition is applied to individual strands with sweeping movements - this allows you to create the effect of hair burnt out in the sun, as well as delicate golden highlights that make the pile more vibrant and light.

Traditional highlighting is also the best suited for women who want to lighten their hair by 3-4 tones, but do not decide on radical actions. In this embodiment, individual strands are captured and treated with a coloring composition, while lightening can be frequent, rare or zonal.

Separately, it is necessary to dwell on the features of lightening short hair, it is quite difficult to create an ombre, balayage or crank here, because owners of short haircuts resort to full dyeing, most often in platinum tones that look perfect on pixies and other short hairstyles.

These days, many technologies have been invented to brighten hair, but, unfortunately, it has not been completely safe to this day, so women have to make a choice between minor and more significant injuries. In this case, it should be well understood that the softer the drug, the less tones you can “wash off” from the head. The maximum effect can be achieved with bleaching preparations and washes. They are used before staining with durable paints, which differ by a couple of tones from the original color of the strands, otherwise it is impossible to achieve purity. The range of such drugs today is presented as follows.

• Clarifying powders - they are mainly used in salons, contain a special purple pigment, which avoids the effect of yellowness. The advantages of the powder are its high efficiency - the hair quickly brightens up to 7-8 tones, however, risks are associated with the same compositional feature. If the substance is not properly diluted and the recommended exposure time is violated, the hair will dry out and become brittle and lifeless.

• Brightening Gel - This is a novelty in the cosmetic market, which allows you to lighten your hair, but it does not contain ammonia in its composition. Discoloration occurs under the influence of hydrogen peroxide in combination with thermal exposure, but in this case it is possible to lighten curls by no more than 2 tones, and if we are talking about dyed hair, then gels are not at all effective.

• Washings - This is one of the most harmless solutions for lightening hair with a minimum content of oxidizing components, so that the keratin layer is slightly destroyed. Such a tool almost does not discolor on natural curls, but for stained ones it becomes a real find earlier.

• For owners of naturally blond hair, ammonia paints can be a good composition for lightening - they are ideal if you need to change the color by no more than a couple of tones. Thanks to ammonia, keratin flakes are loosened, and the darker pigment is quickly washed away. In fact, such paints simultaneously discolor and tint, replacing the original pigment with the chosen one.

• To lighten hair, tinted balms are often used, they have a short-term effect, while not lightening the hair, but simply giving the desired shade.Most often, balms are used to neutralize the yellowness of blond hair, which is the result of exposure to sunlight, smoking and low-quality water.

• A safer option for lightening are considered natural compounds using folk recipes. They act gently, brighten no more than 1-1.5 tones, but do not destroy hair.
  1. Of all the funds, rinsing with chamomile broth is the most popular; for this, 2 tablespoons of grass are poured with 500 ml of boiling water, insisted for half an hour and watered after each hair wash.
  2. Rinsing with lemon juice is not inferior to chamomile rinsing, acid tends to break down the pigment and make curls a little lighter, however, this composition often irritates the scalp and dries hair a little with regular use.
  3. Honey also has a light clarifying effect, but only women with a lot of free time can resort to such a remedy - you need to keep the mask on your hair for at least 6 hours, and this is not always pleasant.
  4. Women with light-colored hair can use masks based on whey and kefir - they eliminate yellowness and make the shade colder.

Any coloring in light shades is best done in the cabin. Only a master can choose the right shades, taking into account the color of his native hair, in addition, a professional assesses the condition of the hair and, depending on this, selects a coloring composition and adjusts the exposure time. At home, any experiments with bleaching often end in hair damage.

If you are firmly confident in your abilities, then you can try at home techniques such as shatush, highlighting and balayazh - they are good for long and medium hair. In this case, individual strands taken in a chaotic manner are clarified. In this case, transitions of shades are created on the hair, and any errors in the application of coloring compounds are almost invisible to others.

Highlighting is considered the most popular option for lightening at home - in this case, a hat with holes is put on the head through which thin strands are pulled with a hook and painted in the desired color. It is very easy to make a balayazh on your head - for this, the coloring composition is applied to the hair without affecting the root zone for a quarter of an hour, after which the comb paste is swept off to the ends of the hair and aged for another 25-30 minutes. The shuttles are made using strokes - the hair is divided into separate strands, combed thoroughly, and then with small movements in a chaotic manner apply paint from the ends to the middle of the hair.

For short hair, monochrome dyeing is chosen - for this, the paint is diluted and, in accordance with the instructions, applied to the hair, uniformly staining all the strands. In this case, it is better to ask a friend for help, otherwise staining on the back of the head may turn out to be uneven. Do not forget that bleached hair must be properly looked after.

• Preference should be given to professional shampoos labeled "for bleached hair." They contain purple pigments that prevent the appearance of unaesthetic yellowness on curls.
• Masks for hair, serum and oil should be used at least once a week.
• Try to limit the use of hot hair dryers, tricks and irons, and it is better to wash your hair with warm, almost cool water.
• The thermal effect is harmful to the hair, in addition, it washes out the color, as a result, tinting gradually disappears.

Owners of blond curls are considered the personification of tenderness and femininity. This color does not go out of fashion and has been kept at the peak of popularity for more than a decade.It is no coincidence that this star is preferred by many film and show business stars around the world.
