Fashion trends in hair highlighting

Each girl wants to look not only beautiful and stylish, but also to comply with current trends in the fashion world. Highlighting is one of the most popular modern coloring methods, so the theme of the relevance of this method causes many girls a genuine interest.

The first successful attempts at highlighting arose in 1960. The innovator of this technology was the still little-known French hairdresser Jacques Dessange. This is not the only discovery by a hairdresser in the fashion world: the famous female haircut haircut, experiments with perm hair - all this came to light thanks to the talented hands of Dessange. Today, thousands of beauty salons under his name are open all over the world.

And for more than 5 decades, highlighting remains one of the most common methods of hair coloring., which in the usual case would mean the soon fading of the popularity of this staining technology.

You can meet girls with highlighted curls literally every day - on TV, in fashion magazines, and it’s just that there are a lot of fashionistas on the street who have appreciated this technique. Let's look at the main positive reasons why highlighting still remains at the peak of relevance.

• Modern methods of hair coloring allow you to not risk the health of the hair. Already today there are gentle paints and brighteners that only slightly lighten hair - in the range of 30-40%, thanks to which you simultaneously get the desired appearance of the hair, without causing them severe harm.
• High-quality highlighting is kept on the hair for a long time (3-4 months) - for girls with long hair, this effect lasts longer. If the type of highlighting is selected without affecting the roots of the hair, this effect can persist for six months or more, in contrast to the usual dyeing, which must be carried out regularly to maintain the saturation of the hair.
• The highlighting technique is great for any hairstyle, type, color and length of hair. The same applies to age restrictions that this technique is not burdened with.
• Highlighting is one of the cheapest hair dyeing techniques. As a rule, only two shades are involved in the procedure - third-party and natural, therefore, neither the master nor the fashionista herself need to purchase a large number of expensive coloring agents.
• One of the main advantages of highlighting is the creation of a natural volume through the "effect of hair burnt out in the sun." Thanks to smooth color transitions, the hair seems voluminous, shiny, most importantly - healthy.
• A huge number of varieties of highlighting is offered by the 21st century - even the most sophisticated fashionista will be able to find something, really, to her liking.
• Highlighting is not difficult to do at home, this is a long, but quite feasible procedure for each beauty.

Highlighting has its own minuses, which, despite the rapid passage of time and the development of ever newer and better hair coloring techniques, preserved from the second half of the XX century.

• Any coloring, even partial, as is the case with highlighting, does some harm to the hair. Highlighted hair without thorough care can quickly weaken, lose density and a healthy appearance. Typically, such problems appear after using low-quality paints or due to busting with a duration of wrapping.
• It is not recommended to highlight recently dyed hair or hair that has been permed. In this case, there is a greater risk of getting a completely unexpected result - due to conflicts in the composition of different colors.
• Girls with already weakened and damaged hair should also refrain from momentary highlighting. After this procedure, the hair will weaken even more. We advise you to first improve and restore your natural curls, and then engage in color experiments.
• Highlighting on hair dyed with natural dyes is especially undesirable. Lightening curls will have to be done in several stages (which, again, is another stress for curls), since natural dyes, such as henna, lighten very poorly.

The current season offers us a huge scope for imagination in hair coloring, which applies to the same highlighting. At the moment, this technique is characterized by different directions.

• Coloring is going through a period of “pattern breakdown," where exclusively natural, natural and close to them shades look most spectacularly and attractively. For the highlighting technique, this period is a real find, because even the most cardinal painting of such a plan preserves the natural color of the hair, only giving it more volume and freshness.

• More recently, in highlighting tasks, hair saturation with color was considered, more aggressive dyeing methods were used to highlight hair in the general onion of the beauty. Today, high-quality highlighting is appreciated for its simplicity - highlighted curls will look most advantageous only 1-2 tones lighter or darker than natural ones.This method updates the hairstyle, gives it more dynamics.

Let's take a closer look at the most winning shades for hair this season.

The current season is rather meager for experiments for dark hair. Any luxurious dark-haired hairstyle is created in order to sparkle in the very center of attention, meanwhile, in this season, dark curls are offered modest natural naturalness and spontaneity.

Highlighting of the "classic" type is performed by coloring individual strands on small pieces of foil so as not to touch natural curls.

Despite their unique natural beauty, all red-haired girls suffer from one problem - over time, such hair quickly loses its saturation and brightness, fades and loses volume. Highlighting is an ideal way out of the situation.The necessary shades will not only give the hairstyle the same depth, but also decorate them with unique sunny tints and new bright colors.

Let's take a closer look at the most relevant and winning highlighting techniques to date. Each of these techniques is good and unique in its own way.

Light classic style. Unlike other types of highlighting, this type does minimal damage to curls and minimizes the natural color of hair. In this case, the masters use a minimal range of shades, and the basis of staining are ammonia-free coloring solutions. To this type, you can also add partial highlighting of hair - to medium length, only bangs or only the ends of curls.

Ombre in the modern sense is such a technique of highlighting curls, in which smooth color transitions of shades on the hair are observed. It can be as natural shades as similar to each other as possible, and cardinally contrasting. The technique usually uses 2 or 3 basic shades, the effect of uniformity is achieved by gradual shading.

The name itself was obtained by the method of staining on behalf of one of the American states. It was in hot California that girls from prolonged exposure to the sun received the famous effect of burnt hair, giving the curls a visual volume and attractive sun glare and overflow.

The current fashion season, as we have already said, encourages any natural hairstyle, and therefore unpretentious, yet stylish California highlighting has every chance to break into the leading position of successful and relevant hairstyles. Plus of such highlighting in uniform smooth transitions from hair roots to the ends, where the roots remain unchanged, and the tips are 2-3 tones lighter or darker.

The most successful tones for California highlighting are selected based on the color of your natural hair and the color of your eyes. Increasingly, there is a clear prevalence of delicate, soft pastel shades in hairstyles: honey, golden, soft chestnut, wheat tones.

The American type of highlighting, like the Venetian, was originally developed for women and girls with dark and black curls. He was called to give them a little more natural volume by supplying hair with light gradient overflows.

If a maximum of 2-3 shades was used in the Venetian and California highlights, then in this case, the masters could experiment with 3-4 tones to give the hair the coveted glossy effect. This effect is achieved by applying paint or bleach only to the front of the hair, without affecting the lower layer.

The novelty of the season is the tendency to use American highlighting with the application of soft caramel and chestnut shades on dark or even black curls. Most successfully, this effect looks with long, slightly curly curls.

The peculiarity of the Venetian highlighting in the extremely selective clarification of individual thin strands of hair. This creates a general effect of slight discoloration from the sun. The technique itself came to us from Italian fashionistas of the late XX century. Fashionable women specially spent whole hours under the Italian sun in order to achieve at least minimal light glare on their hair. Italy is a country of dark-haired and dark-skinned women, and therefore sun glare on such curls was especially appreciated.

If until the current season it was fashionable to use bright and sometimes even contrasting shades in highlighting of this type, then Today, preference is given to all the same naturalness. The difference between the tones of bleached and natural hair should be literally minimal, and the thin curls that were previously distributed throughout the hair in complete mess, now fit in close proximity to each other.

If we consider the differences between the California and Venetian styles of highlighting, the first type was originally aimed at fair-haired ladies who want to give the hairstyle more depth and naturalness, the second was intended for dark hair and served to refresh them and renew the whole image of the girl.

Highlighting is a picky option for coloring curls, it will not require any special hairstyle or styling from you. With highlighted curls, both short haircuts like bob and bob, and long hairstyles such as a cascade or short flight of stairs can look stylish.

This painting technique offers just a huge number of coloring options. It can be both gentle highlighting with the color of only one tip, and a full-fledged ombre type with a bright contrast between tones.
