Stacker on the square: the choice of suitable colors and subtleties of applying paint

Even the most beloved and original haircut over time begins to bother. For the owners of the square there is a stylish and unusual way to refresh the hairstyle - coloring “shatush”. Its essence lies in the multiple transition from the darkest color on the roots of the hair to the lightest shades at the ends. This creates the effect of sunburned hair, but it looks stylish.

One of the options for dyeing hair is with a departure from the root. He gained popularity for the fact that it is impossible to spoil the look of the hairstyle, besides, constant tinting is not required. The naturalness of the color is achieved by repeatedly applying lighter shades along the length of the strands.

At the moment, shatush is the most popular type of hair coloring. The founder of this style of coloring was the Italian master hairdresser Aldo Coppola. He was a supporter of the naturalness of haircuts and was categorically against chemical stains. At the cost of losing regular customers, making a lot of effort and experimenting with natural dyes, Coppola created the so-called shatushi technique now beloved by many fashionistas.

After his work with hair, it was impossible to determine whether they were dyed or whether it was a natural burnout of strands.At a hairdressing show in 1983, Aldo Coppola showed everyone his innovation, which immediately won the hearts of even the most severe critics.

One of the main features of such painting is the complete absence of thermal (for example, foil) devices in operation. Often, professional craftsmen do not even use brushes, painting hair manually. Shatush is different from other similar options for coloring with soft and natural color transitions, which looks elegant and gives the hairstyle an unusual look. The shuttle will look best on dark hair, although you can add “burnt” paints to light strands, if you combine the shades correctly.

The task of dyeing is to get the most smooth transitions of colors (often this effect is achieved by coloring the curls in different directions and combing the strands). Shatush looks good with any hair styling, and even with its complete absence. Now it’s considered popular to slightly twist the strands closer to the tips, creating the effect of a “wave”.

The positive aspects of the choice of such a stylistic solution include:

• natural look and natural color transitions between locks of hair;
• the dyeing technique can even be applied to gray hair;
• the shuttle does not require adjustment more than once every 2-3 months;
• the use of natural dyes that will not spoil the haircut and hair;
• suitable for girls and women with any type of appearance;
• visually rejuvenates;
• always fashionable.

Cons in this case are rather relative, but they should be taken into account:

• almost impossible to perform on short hair;
• when using chemistry can spoil hair;
• It is not a complete change of image, but only refreshes the haircut;
• with general popularity it will not allow you to stand out from the crowd;
• difficult to perform at home;
• it is undesirable to wash your hair more than once every 3 days, otherwise the paint will be washed out;
• lightening may be required that adversely affects the hair.

As already mentioned, such a coloring is suitable for almost all owners of a haircut with any hair length. Naturally, on a long square you can achieve the most interesting effect, as the master will have where to give scope for imagination. On a rack with elongation, the crank will emphasize the features of the haircut and its relief. A classic is staining the square to the shoulders.

At the same time, with a bob-car, the crank looks good only with a sufficient length of hair and their graduation, otherwise the general appearance of the hairstyle will be sloppy and incomplete. On a square with asymmetry, everything is more complicated. Here, only a hairdresser with extensive experience can do the work, who can correctly calculate all the proportions without depriving the hair of the balance. Owners of a square with bangs are stained also on it.

The colors for the cranks should be selected carefully, taking into account the natural color of the hair, so that the coloring looks as stylish as possible.

• Dark and black hair. On dark shades of hair, a crank will look most profitable, you can use almost any color of paint, which is enough for imagination - copper, chestnut, red, chocolate, etc.

• Fair-haired. On light brown strands, you can make the most interesting staining. The gradient will look soft if the master, before applying the pigment to the curls, first does a pile and begins to dye the strands in different directions. This method gives the most natural effect. For fair-haired girls, gold, beige and ashy colors are suitable.

• Blond. When choosing a color for shuttles in blondes, the hairdresser needs to take into account the skin color of the girl and focus on him.With blond hair, cold shades will definitely look good - pearl, milky, golden. Of course, with this hair color, the burnout effect will not be so bright and noticeable, but it will give beautiful overflows on curls and dynamism.

• Redheads. On red curls, the crank will look as bright and stylish as possible. The more “fiery” hair color, the more spectacular the color. Suitable for all girls - a combination of honey, yellowish, gold and similar tones. In the light of the summer sun, such a crank attracts attention.

It is not always possible to go to a salon to a professional master, so many women are painting themselves, at home. How to do this? To get started, you need to get a kit for creating shuttles:

• hair dyes of different shades;
• special brushes for coloring strands;
• crest;
• rubber gloves for working with paints;
• tinting agent at will.

First, the hair with the help of a comb is divided into several strands, then each strand is fixed with clips and carefully combed (which contributes to the natural look of the hairstyle). Dye is applied to the hair with sweeping strokes, but uneven parts. The darkest colors should be distributed at the roots of the hair and closer to the middle of the strands. Next, apply shades lighter, and the lightest - directly on the ends of the hair.

The paint should not be kept on the hair for more than 20 minutes, so as not to damage them. After the indicated time, they wash their hair with shampoo and hair balm of the same brand. We must not forget to make sure that the staining does not come out too contrasting, since then it will no longer look natural. How long does staining take?

It is important to pay attention not only to the process of painting curls, but also to care for them after staining. To do this, just follow a few simple rules:

• use balms and shampoos created specifically for highlighted hair;
• if the hair suddenly becomes too brittle, it is worth starting to use care products with silicone, it is he who will protect the hairstyle from further damage;
• regularly make nutritious hair masks;
• wash your head with not too hot water so as not to damage the skin and not wash off excess paint.

The method of staining shatushki at home is given below.

On the Internet you can find many photographs of “before” and “after”.

In addition, there are many real reviews from the owners of the shuttles. Here are some of them.

• “The color is unusual, looks good on almost any length. The color is very natural, it hides gray hair, however, the procedure in the salon itself is not cheap, but it seems difficult to perform at home. ”
• “You can do shuttles on your own, as the risk of spoiling your hair is minimal. True, this is inconvenient and takes longer than if you go to the hairdresser. ”
• “Incredibly beautiful on dark hair. With such staining, you can walk for about 3 months without corrections. "I advise everyone who tones hair with a length below the average, does not create any problems."
• “It was scary to decide to do this, what if I ruin my hair? But I really wanted something new, so I turned to a familiar master and took a chance. I got the desired effect the first time, I was pleased with the result, the color transitions are smooth, they look stylish. ”
• “I did it on an elongated square on my own. Itself seemed very difficult and rather uncomfortable, her hands were numb, but it turned out no worse than in the cabin. She took 3 complementary colors to her natural (from auburn to almost blond), spent almost 2 hours, but the effect is gorgeous. ”
• “I’m blonde, I thought that it wouldn’t look particularly beautiful with my hair color, but it turned out that the shatuosh is suitable for any shade, especially beautiful overflows in the sun are obtained, as if the hair is either silver or white. She did it at a rather short length, but still it turned out the way she wanted. ”

Even if it seems that dyeing hair at home is more economical and easier, it’s better to at least consult a master in a trusted salon before starting an independent procedure. He will be able to help in choosing a paint, care and styling products, and also tell you how to properly make a shuttle yourself, so as not to spoil anything. You can also watch training videos on the Internet that will help to avoid mistakes, if there was no practice of self-staining before.
