Highlighting on dark hair with tinting

Today, there are many different hair coloring techniques that are gentle options for changing the color of curls for girls. Highlighting on dark hair is a great way to refresh the look of the owners of dark strands.

Many professional stylists recommend that girls with dark shades of hair lighten by highlighting in several stages, followed by tinting in the desired shade. Highlighting itself involves lightening various strands of hair with various techniques.

This hair coloring has several advantages:

• highlighting of individual strands gives a visual volume to even the thinnest and most liquid hair;
• such staining, in contrast to monochromatic, makes the transition from roots to clarified strands smoother, which allows a longer time not to think about overgrown roots;
• with a complete change in hair color, the following procedure is already needed after 2-3 weeks, and highlighting can be updated after a month or even two;
• helps to refresh the image without major changes;
• gives the hair a healthy shine, after several times washing the hair, the strands do not fade;
• this dyeing procedure will be a salvation for girls with oily hair type, as the strands will keep a fresh look for much longer;
• thanks to a large number of highlighting techniques, each girl will be able to choose the perfect option for herself.

For those who quickly get bored of the same hair color, the technique will be the tinting of hair. Toning can fix the shade of strands that were painted poorly, or those that eventually lost their original shade. Toners of appropriate shades perfectly hide the yellowness, which is often obtained when lightening too dark hair.

The choice of means for tinting hair after the highlighting procedure primarily depends on how much you want to keep the tinting result. There are a huge number of cosmetic products to give different shades of strands - shampoos, balms, sprays, paints, tonics and others. And any of them has both pros and cons.

This tool, when used, gives the strands a slightly noticeable shade depending on the color chosen. It does not change the color of highlighted hair, but only slightly refreshes it. The hue needs to be selected one that is not very different from yours. Thanks to the cumulative effect, shampoo will help make the strands more saturated in color. Use it should be no more than once a week.

In fact, the same thing as a shampoo, but with a longer lasting result - up to one month. Such products are available for hair after dyeing, as they include components that help restore strands after highlighting, as well as maintain their healthy appearance. It is important to know that balms are produced, which must be diluted, which is why you should always read the instructions before use. Such cosmetics fight well with unwanted yellowness.

Hair dye is the longest-lasting tool for tinting or coloring of highlighted strands. The effect lasts up to two months, the main thing is that thanks to the ammonia-free composition it does not spoil the hair structure too much.

Good for home use. Sprays will be an excellent outlet for those who do not want to tint their hair for a long time. The result of using tinting sprays lasts up to 3-4 shampooing procedures. Convenient for tinting individual strands.

Foams and mousses stay on curls much longer, up to 10 procedures. Modern manufacturers have made the use of such tools much more convenient by equipping them with dispensers. It is important to know that after applying them, you need to wash off the residues from the hair, after waiting for the necessary amount of time.

Toning strands can be of several types, each of which is distinguished by its characteristic features:

• light is considered tinted hair with shampoos and mousses, as well as a foam (the result is washed off after 2-6 hair washing procedures);
• sparing is the tinting of strands using balms and tonics (the duration of the result is from three weeks to one and a half months);
• intensive tinting with hair dye (result up to two months);
• Wellness tint using henna and basma.

On girls with short haircuts, the usual highlighting of hair (rare or thick) will create the effect of "spotting", so it can only be done on haircuts under a hedgehog.

Of the types of tinting and highlighting, it will be optimal bronding or hut. The first involves the combination of highlighting and coloring, as various dark shades are used - from chocolate to golden. In fact, such staining does not fundamentally change the original color, but only decorates it with highlights and overflows. Hair looks more healthy and voluminous. Balayazh involves stretching a certain shade along the entire length of the hair. All kinds of shades can also be used.

Choosing a shade of tinting, bright and contrasting colors should be immediately excluded, as this will visually divide the head in half. It is better to give preference to shades of walnut and honey, as well as milk chocolate. And you can choose a shade several tones lighter than the original color to create the effect of burnt strands.

Owners of medium-length hair are suitable for the same types of highlighting with tinting as for short haircuts. In addition to these staining techniques, you can use classic highlights, shuttle and ombre.

Ombre means creating the effect of overgrown roots. That is, the strands are painted in such a way that they create a smooth transition from dark roots to light tips. Several different shades are used. Such staining will be a salvation for girls with dark curls, as they do not affect the roots, while maintaining the integrity of the hair structure.

Shatush is basically the same as ombre. The difference is that the transition is made more blurry than with ombre.

Choosing the color of the tint from the palette of light shades, it is worth choosing pearl as well as beige tones. Often on dark curls, highlighting can acquire an undesirable yellow tone, which will help hide a tonic or shampoo with an ashy shade.

The range of shades for long strands is unlimited. This can be a silver-ash blond, and a red mahogany. It all depends on the desired result. Toning with red and violet shades - pomegranate, mahogany, plum, copper looks original.

For girls with long hair, all of the above options are suitable - from ordinary highlighting to bronding. Any of the procedures should be carried out in the cabin, since at home there is a high probability of unsuccessful staining.

Even when using the most expensive cosmetics for highlighting and tinting hair, colored strands require special care. It is necessary to purchase special shampoos and balms for colored hair.

You should pay attention to the composition of the shampoo and abandon those that contain sulfates, since they affect the rate of leaching of the coloring pigment.

Make masks more often at home using natural products (kefir, various oils, honey, various decoctions of herbs).

Reduce the use of hair dryers, pads, and evens. If a yellow tint appears, use tinting agents (shampoos, sprays, mousses), but not more than once a week.

Immediately after washing, the curls should not be combed, it is better to wait until they dry out a little, and gently comb them along the entire length starting from the tips (non-metallic comb).

Once every 2 months, split ends should be trimmed so that the hair looks more well-groomed and smooth.

Bronding will help refresh the color of the strands without major changes.

Coloring of strands occurs in brown shades. On the palette, several colors are selected that are close to the original. This creates a soft transition from color to color, retaining its color.

Ombre will make your look brighter and fresher.

Here the basal zone remains untouched, then a couple of tones lighter than natural are selected. Then the paint is applied in a horizontal line and stretched along the entire length, making a smooth and natural transition between tones.

Balayazh emphasize femininity and tenderness.

The color is selected half a lighter than natural. The master applies broad strokes to the hair, creating a soft transition from the original color to the tint.
