Many girls and women have repeatedly thought about how to radically change the appearance of their hair. Often, such changes make women younger and more beautiful. An excellent option for such changes can be double highlighting.
Highlighting in itself involves dyeing a certain part of the hair. However, the double passes more painlessly for the hair, and the result looks much better.
What is the difference from the classic?
The main feature of double highlighting is that the hair is less stressed compared to the classic version. That is, such a procedure does much less damage to the hair than the classical one.
The difference is also that the strands of different sizes are partially lightened. You can stain not only from the roots themselves, but also from the rest of the hair length.
With this procedure, you can hide gray hair in a short time, as well as refresh your hair. Staining is quick and easy.
As for age, there are no restrictions. For women of more advanced age, double highlighting will help to rejuvenate a little, and for younger women, this is a great way to change the appearance and emphasize beauty.
As for the performance technique, in the implementation of the classical procedure, the strands are completely painted - along the entire length and thickness. By virtue of this, such hair does not look very natural.
Prices for both procedures have no special differences. It all depends on the length of the hair being dyed. Based on these data, the master calculates the right amount of paint, and accordingly, the price itself. It follows that staining long and thick curls will be somewhat more expensive than short ones.
The average price of double highlighting for short hair is 1 thousand rubles. The price for painting long varies from 2 to 5 thousand rubles.
Saving on this business is not worth it, because the further result depends on the procedure. In addition, if improperly performed, you can greatly damage your hair.
Contraindications
Despite the extraordinary ease and speed of this staining, it is not suitable for everyone. The main contraindications are:
- hair is too dark;
- henna stained;
- strands straightened with keratin;
- perm;
- the procedure is contraindicated in pregnant and lactating women.
Characteristic features of the procedure
Consider the features of double highlighting based on which hair it is applied to.
On brown hair
When implementing this method of painting, one should take into account not only the above contraindications, but also various hair colors and their structure.
Curls of light brown color very often have a fine structure, which is very good, because double highlighting is designed specifically for such hair. This technique will make them more shiny and, if possible, will hide overgrown roots.
It is on light brown curls that such highlighting looks the best, the main thing is to choose the appropriate shades.
On dark hair
It is most difficult to cope with dark hair, since immediately before highlighting it will require lightening, which brings great harm. Owners of this color are recommended to contact only professionals who are able to carry out the correct discoloration, and after that highlighting itself.
On bright
Curls of light shades are the best option for this procedure. Due to the fact that bleaching is not needed here, the hair will not be harmed. By choosing the right and suitable colors, you can create a voluminous hairstyle with a healthy shine.
As for the length, there are also no restrictions.
For short
It is much easier to dye short hair - you can do this at home. But with longer strands, the situation is somewhat more complicated, and you can not do without the help of a professional.
On long
Highlighting on long hair is performed using two contrasting colors, that is, strands are selected for dyeing in white and dark color.
Some people prefer to dye certain areas on the hair, for example, strands located on the side or the tips.
How is it done?
The procedure is distinguished by its simple execution and further care, so many spend it at home.
Double highlighting is divided into five main stages.
- The first part is the separation of the strands. Their number should be at least four and not more than eight. They are fastened with hair clips, but so that at the right time they can be easily removed.
- Following the instructions, all the ingredients in the kit are mixed. You can start painting from absolutely any place, carefully pulling out a lock.
- Once the strand has been completely painted, it must be wrapped in foil, carefully closing with it. It is very important that the material does not open.
- Staining can be done at least near the roots, at least at the tips.
- The last step is to dye the hair dye for the required time, as a rule, it is indicated in the instructions. Usually it does not exceed 50 minutes. Nevertheless, for different colors it will be different time, because blonde hair dyes much faster than dark. It is easy to monitor the degree of staining - just open the foil a little and look at the result.
Care
Despite the fact that this procedure is not particularly difficult in itself, one should not forget about the basic rules of care. The first step is to purchase specialized shampoo and balm, which can be found in pharmacies or in cosmetic stores.
You can also take care of hair masks.They are able to strengthen the hair and make them even smoother and shinier. It is recommended to give preference to masks made from natural products.
The ends of the hair require special attention, because they, as a rule, suffer the most. They will also need special masks or herbal decoctions.
Double highlighting is much easier than it might seem at first glance. The main thing is to take into account all possible features and contraindications, as well as select the appropriate shades. If done correctly, the hairstyle will look truly amazing, and its owner is fresh and transformed.
