How to fix failed highlighting?

Highlighting hair allows you to bring brightness and effect into the female image. Unfortunately, it is often not possible to achieve the desired result, and the errors of the unfortunate master also cause significant damage to the hair. There are several ways to fix unsuccessful coloring of strands. Check out the recommendations on how to reanimate curls depending on the scale of the tragedy.

Typically, this problem can occur if the procedure for dyeing the strands is performed by a beginner who is not yet familiar with the basic nuances of highlighting. Departure from conventional technology, as well as our own experiments not only harm the hair, but also worsen their health. Today we can distinguish several reasons for failed highlighting:

• the master neglected the strict proportions of the mixed components;
• Inappropriate components were selected for the procedure;
• violation of the preparation technology of the highlighting agent;
• the coloring composition is overexposed on the hair for more than the prescribed time;
• too aggressive oxidizing agent used;
• the master took for staining too wide or, conversely, too thin strands;
• the composition is applied to the strands unevenly or in a thick layer;
• the curls are wrapped foil carelessly;
• highlighting was performed on dyed hair.

To save the situation, you need to understand the reason for the failed staining. For example, if the strands are highlighted unevenly or there are large indents from the roots, you can resort to re-clarification. At the same time, the prepared composition must be applied only to the places of necessary processing.

If highlighting on dark or brown hair is done unevenly, in this case, it is worth performing an independent adjustment. With this problem, it will be more expedient to clarify not only the occipital strands: work with curls around the facegiving it freshness and giving the female image brightness. So you can create a visual effect of facial rejuvenation.

Explicit yellowness also is an unsuccessful clarification, which is obtained either when lightening dark hair, or with insufficient exposure time of the composition on the processed strands. It is necessary to get rid of unpleasant yellowness. In this case, usually resort to the use of blue-violet tonics.

One of the effective methods for correcting failed highlighting is lamination hair. This procedure allows you to seal the cut ends of the hair, reduce brittleness, smooth out the sharp contrast of the highlight color transition. And also the lamination of strands will give them a healthy shine.

At home, you can try to wash off highlighting, doing this on the principle of "do no harm." In order to correct the situation, you can resort to the use of permanent coloring compounds. Such materials have the ability to delicately envelop the hair rods without invading the inner layers and delaminating the scales.

Depending on the variety of materials are divided into two categories: for salons (professional) and home use. When choosing a shade, you need to pay attention to the color of the highlighted strands. Through such compositions, you can lighten curls in a couple of tones, smoothing out unsuccessful staining. After the procedure, the hair will gain a lost shine.

This technique is considered simple and feasible for any girl and involves the use of shampoo tonic. It is used in case of an unnatural shade and allows you to remove the yellowness after unsuccessful highlighting. The disadvantage of this method is effect duration: it will stay on the hair for no more than two weeks, or even less.

You can try to deal with the problem by buying a special wash composition in the store. If necessary, such a mixture can be prepared independently. For example, you can make it from water and ordinary baking sodausing 2 tablespoons of the product in 2 liters of water.

Before resorting to emergency correction after unsuccessful highlighting, you need to take note of a few nuances.

• Re-toning impossible immediately after visiting the salon. At least a week should pass, only after that you can think about a correction.
• When the shade of highlighting close to the natural color of the hair, it makes no sense to make any adjustment. After a couple of weeks, the color will even out on its own. It is enough to use special shampoos.
• When you want to instantly wash off highlighting in the cabin, you need to understand: washing is harmful to the hair structure. You need to weigh the pros and cons, and for weak hair, washing is not possible.
• For correction you need to know the type of highlighting. For example, with a gentle method (Californian, Venetian type), ordinary henna is enough. If the master performed clarification according to the American method, then eliminating the problem without a professional paint based on an oxidizing agent alone will not work.

The yellow color of the highlighted strands, which appears with each hair wash, is the main problem that spoils the appearance of the hairstyle. It indicates that the master chose the wrong shade or neglected the rules of highlighting technology.

If the girl is not too confident in her own abilities to correct unsuccessful highlighting, you can turn to professionals. As a rule, in this case, they can advise saving the situation in three ways: radical correction, reverse highlighting, elimination of yellowness. Basal correction involves painting the indentation from the roots. It eliminates the effect of regained highlighting, especially noticeable on dark and blond hair.

Frequent and narrow colored strands need reverse highlighting. In this case, you need to choose a dye with a tone, close to the natural shade of the client. In this case, hair treatment can only be done with a gentle composition. The yellowness and unnatural color of curls professionals offer to disguise coloring.
