Black hair can be varied with strands of red using highlighting. Highlighting is the technique of coloring individual strands of hair along the entire length. This method has many advantages over a radical color change.

Working strands begin from different heights, without affecting the roots, gradually merging below into one common mass. Ombre creates maximum contrast, the technique is applicable for bright, saturated shades of red.

The technique provides for highlighting only the ends of the hair, the bulk and roots are not affected.The transition from one tone to another is vague, without a distinct face. Balayazh can be used on any length of hair.

Over time, new interesting ideas for staining curls appear.

• Bright strands with raspberry tint on long straight hair create the illusion of overflow.

• With ombre on dyed hair, black lightens 3 tones, painted in raspberry color, then lighten the desired number of strands and give them bright red tones. The admiring glances of those around are guaranteed.

• With a red ombre for a cool wave saturated ruby ​​strands on a black background will “cheer” your hair, adding lightness to the image.

• With California highlighting only the tips are painted in different shades of red - it can be pink, orange, cherry tones.

Red highlighting on black strands is carried out in several stages, Suitable for hair of different lengths.

• For short hair, a rubber cap with small holes is used, through which hooks are pulled with a hook for the entire length of the hair of the same thickness. Using a cap eliminates the penetration of clarifier on unnecessary areas and helps to determine the correct distance between the strands.
• The clarifying composition is applied to the prepared curls, wrapped them in foil, withstand the set time, then washed with warm water.
• The clarified strands are smeared with a dye of the selected shade of red, then the same steps are repeated as with bleaching.
• If the girl has long ringlets, the whole mop is divided into 8-10 parts, all parts are fixed separately. For bleaching, one part is freed, a foil is placed under it, several thin strands of full length are selected on the surface, a clarifier is applied to them. Then they repeat the same thing as for short strands.

The ombre technique is used for long and medium length hair in several steps.

• Natural black strands present fewer problems, in this case there is no need for color correction for growing roots. The hair of light tones is first painted black, and then proceed to work with strands.
• The entire mass of hair is parted in part in 2 equal parts to avoid tangling of hair, and then on the strands. The curls needed for clarification are of arbitrary height, not reaching the roots.
• From above, at the base of the strand, a pile is made, remaining until the end of the work, it will provide a smooth transition of color.
• The curl treated with the clarifying composition is fixed with foil and can withstand the necessary time, then the clarifier is washed off with warm water. The staining procedure is carried out according to the same scheme.

Balayazh is best used for a short haircut and medium length curls.

• The hair on a short haircut is combed in such a way that only the tips remain on the top, the pile is fixed with varnish with a strong fixation.
• Apply clarifier to small strips of foil, fix on strands so that the composition does not get to the roots.
• Withstand the set time, rinse with water. When staining, the same steps are repeated.

To care for red and black hairstyles will require more patience and time than any other, as it will require a double correction. About 1-2 times a month, unnatural black hair needs to be painted over at the roots, and red strands will also have to be “freshened”. Compliance with these rules requires ombre and balayazh. After red highlighting along the entire length, on the contrary, it will be necessary 2 times a month to first lighten the overgrown strands at the roots, and then stain them.

Dry, split hair should not be highlighted - the result will be disastrous. Do not lighten curls after their recent henna staining, you need to wait 3-4 months, since henna does not react with chemical agents.
