Today, there are several techniques that will be the perfect solution for owners of fiery hair. With the right approach, the girl will be able to give her image a naturalness and style, as well as make expressiveness. One of the most popular and traditional techniques is shallow classical highlighting. Giving small strands of contrast will provide the image with expressiveness and attractiveness, which large highlighting cannot boast of. In the process of such highlighting, you need to be extremely careful.

Another popular variety is light highlighting, which will rejuvenate the face and give the image an incredible freshness. The simplest method for carrying out such staining is the treatment of wide strands that are located on the face. The main feature of this option is that it is perfect for any girls, regardless of face shape. The ideal solution is the use of wheat shades. If the lady is distinguished by a cold color type, then it is best to give preference to milk strands. A similar combination will look very stylish and interesting.

If you are a brave person who is not afraid to experiment, then you can choose red highlighting. This approach is bold and will allow you to get a bright complete image. In addition, he will not leave the owner without attention. No wonder experts recommend choosing red colors for people who like to be in the spotlight. The color palette is so vast that every girl can choose the best option for herself.

It is up to the fashionista only to decide which shade to choose, however, do not forget about the recommendations of experts. Bright options will be a great solution for girls, but for women after 40 it is better to give preference to dark red strands. The peculiarity of red highlighting is that for it, bleaching of curls is usually carried out in advance.

Girls who want to preserve maximum naturalness in their image, it is best to choose the California technique of dyeing. At the same time, it is extremely important to correctly set up bright accents that will help make the image much more expressive. A distinctive advantage of light strands is that the tips will shimmer in the sun and provide softness to the rough cheekbones. Besides, California technique is considered a gentle technique, however, such a procedure should be carried out under the supervision of an experienced specialist.

If a fashionista is distinguished by brown eyes and dark skin, then the dark version of the painting is suitable for her. Properly placed dark strands will help create the perfect combination with a red color, so that the image will seem futuristic and natural at the same time. To darken, you can use a couple of shades at once. In this case, it is also better to use the services of professionals so that the dark strands do not break out of the general image.

Given the fact that red strands are the most thick, the highlighting process is considered quite special. In the process of painting, you need to be extremely careful and do not keep the dye on your hair for more than the allowed period. In addition, if it is necessary to carry out clarification, it is best to use not conventional means, but more potent ones, where the concentration of clarifier exceeds 12%.

To date, there are two main types of highlighting of red strands. One of the most popular is the procedure, which is carried out using a hat. This technology will be suitable for ladies who have short hair, the length of which is no more than 15 cm. If the partial painting procedure is carried out at home, then such a hat can be purchased at any pharmacy. Moreover, most sets for highlighting a house include just such a hat. For its production, the most common polyethylene is used, which ensures its versatility and reliability.

The number of strands that will be dyed depends on how much the girl wants to change. After the desired number of strands is pulled out from under the hat, you can start painting the hair. The process of repainting is the same as regular hair coloring. First of all, you need to prepare a liquid for painting, which will be applied to the hair for a certain time.

After all the necessary curls have been painted, you can begin to remove the caps. After the procedure, it is mandatory to cover the hair with a protective mask, due to which it is possible to achieve minimal damage to the hair structure. The second way is highlighting strands using foil. This is a rather complicated matter, however, this technology makes it possible to highlight any length. To carry out such work, you need to buy both highlighting paint and a brush. As for the foil itself, it should be a couple of centimeters longer than the length of the hair. This technology is ideal for medium length haircuts or bangs.

Red hair can be of various shades, from the most saturated blond to brownish-orange color schemes. The color of highlighting must be chosen precisely depending on the own shade of the hair. To date, the following shades are distinguished.

• Fall, which is a fairly pronounced "rust" with a clear and bright shade;
• Spring - characterized by a soft color cast, however, the “rust” is rather bright;
• Winter, characterized by a light shade that resembles burnt straw.

Before choosing a specific color for highlighting, you need to find out which color type the girl belongs to (brunettes, blondes, etc.) and only then choose the best option. If the lady is characterized by a winter shade, then highlighting in cold tones would be an ideal solution. For example, platinum staining looks quite stylish and beautiful. In addition, painting in shades of yellow will be interesting.

If a girl can boast of a shade of "autumn", then painting in the color of ocher will be the most acceptable option for her. If necessary, to give the hair a larger volume, you can dye some curls in a chestnut color. We must not forget that with curly hair you need to be extremely careful, since highlighting with wide locks can ruin the image and will seem unnatural. It is best to contact a master who will color small strands, so that visually the hair will seem more voluminous.

Most lucky girls who can boast a shade of hair "spring". For them, the maximum palette of possible colors is available, so you can experiment and choose the most suitable option for yourself. The only negative is that before painting in bright colors, you will have to highlight in light shades. Of course, girls who have too dry or damaged hair will have to abandon such a procedure. In the absence of healthy hair, it is better to refuse to carry out any procedures that are at least somehow related to dyeing or heat treatment, as this can cause even greater harm.

If the girl has black hair, then it will be necessary to carry out additional bleaching, and if the color is “blond”, then you can immediately proceed to highlighting. But long white hair is better not to undergo such a procedure, as it will look unnatural.

So that colored curls can maintain their attractive appearance for as long as possible, you need to pay close attention to caring for them. To do this, you need to purchase the right shampoos and balms. For washing hair, it is best to use purified water. In addition, from time to time it is possible to rinse using special decoctions, characterized by a strengthening effect.

Natural remedies that are created on the basis of exclusively natural components show a good result. With a competent approach and combination, you can get a tool that is distinguished by its property restoring the hair structure. Experts advise using masks in the manufacture of which essential oils were used. They saturate the hair with useful trace elements and contribute to their quick recovery. In order to maximize the result from the procedure, it should be carried out on an ongoing basis.
