Short hair shatush: how to choose a tone and correctly carry out the procedure?

Among the many different cosmetic procedures, techniques such as highlighting or shatush are currently very popular. The popularity of the shatusha in recent years is very simple to explain - the procedure is carried out in a short period of time, and the end result is amazing. Such coloring creates graceful color transitions that will rejuvenate and refresh any woman.

All the nuances of the procedure and how to care for them after it will be described later.

Shatush is a technique that has gained its popularity relatively recently. The process itself consists in a smooth transition from light shades to darker. Paint is applied to strands of different sizes and as far from the roots as possible. The result lasts about 2-3 months, which is very good.

It is worth noting that it is easiest to carry out such work on long or medium hair. With a short hairstyle, the situation is somewhat more complicated and only a professional can cope with it.

It is also impossible not to mention that shatush, performed on short hair, will not create such a terrific effect as on long curls.

Before deciding whether to use this technique on your hair, you should consider all its possible pros and cons. Highlighting the advantages, it is worth noting the following.

• The work done looks very natural. This is explained by the fact that the strands are painted completely randomly, and therefore the result is very effective.
• Shatush is one of the techniques that can give hair a lively volume.
• This procedure is a great option for those who want to rejuvenate externally, because the resulting hairstyle highlights the basic color of the hair and additional shades.
• Proper coloring on short hair is able to emphasize the advantages of hairstyles and basic facial features.
• The dye can be applied to separate parts of the head, for example, on a bang or tips.
• Steady result. As mentioned a little earlier, the result of such a procedure can last about three months.
• Allows you to highlight the natural color of the hair, make it more saturated.
• Also with the help of the shuttle you can easily hide the protruding gray hair.
• The ability to use as a dye not only ammonia, but also more natural substances.
• Hair of any color and any type is suitable for work.
• Damage to hair is minimized.
• The procedure is quite fast.
• The finished result looks just fine, so the need for styling, straightening or curling hair completely disappears.
• Easy further care.
• The absence of regrown roots.

The advantages of this procedure are quite a lot, but do not forget about the disadvantages.

• Shatush can not be used on too short hair. This is due to the fact that in this case, due to the short hair length, it is impossible to create the very transition from light to dark tones.
• When working with blond hair, achieving the desired effect is extremely difficult.
• The increased complexity of the procedure, due to which it is almost impossible to independently carry out the shuttle.
• In a decent salon, a real professional will have a very expensive procedure.

In general, stencil-style staining is suitable for almost everyone. The problem is that for each individual shade of hair you need to select an individual dye. It is very important that all this is not only combined with each other, but also creates a transition.

The most successful for this technique are brown or brown hair. For darker curls, California highlighting is usually used.

For women of more advanced age, the technique is also acceptable, especially when it comes to painting gray hair. However, this is relevant only when it occupies no more than 30% of the total hair volume.

The choice of color when performing a shuttle is a very important detail. In this case, you need to consult with the master.

When choosing a shade, factors such as hair length and their natural color must be taken into account.

For dark-haired girls, staining with light colors is clearly not suitable. For them, it is recommended to take the tone closer to the chocolate or walnut color. Caramel or copper tones will also look pretty good.

Choosing the right shade for red hair is very difficult. However, if everything is done correctly, the final result will be very pleased. For such a hairstyle, colors such as gold, bright red, copper, honey and others will be relevant.

Blonde hair is not the best option for a crank. The problem is that creating clear transitions on such curls is very difficult. Nevertheless, choosing the appropriate color, the master can create a simply amazing hairstyle. For dyeing blonde hair, it is best to focus on caramel, gold, ash, wheat and other colors.

However, he still loses many advantages.For example, unlike a regular shatusha, color involves the use of bright and eye-catching colors, so the hairstyle completely loses its natural appearance.

It is best done on dark hair - a huge number of colors are suitable here, for example, scarlet, blue, blue, all shades of pink or red and so on. Bright yellow, golden, red and even green colors are usually applied to red hair. For blond hair, all shades of pink, blue or red will be relevant.

As a rule, young girls resort to color shatushu. Among adults, this technique is not taken seriously, especially if their place of work is an office or another institution where a dress code is installed.

Another type of this technique is reverse shatush. Here, the hair is as light as possible in the basal zone, however, approaching the tips, they become darker. This type is considered more gentle than the rest, because a small part of the hair is lightened here. It all looks beautiful and natural, so you can and even need to do a reverse shuttle.

Particular attention is required to prepare the hair before painting, which should begin at least 2-3 weeks before its implementation.

The main training measures include the following points.

• Regular application of moisturizing and regenerating masks. Hair coloring is a lot of stress, so before that they should be prepared as much as possible.
• Removing split ends.
• The last shampoo before the procedure should be 3-4 days. This is due to the fact that the substances contained in the shampoo are able to react with the dye, which will lead to the most unexpected results.
• It is also recommended to abandon styling products and various styling. The same goes for curly hair - you do not need to straighten them.
• Dyed hair should be dyed in the base color, with which the crank will be made. All this is best done with the same master.
• Another important recommendation is a test for a possible allergic reaction.

As for the execution technique itself, it takes 1.5-2 hours, which is relatively few. It is divided into two main types - with and without fleece.

The very first thing to do, regardless of the type of staining you choose, is to prepare the necessary tools.

1. Coloring agent. It is recommended to stop the choice on the most famous brands. The selected color should differ from natural literally by several shades. You can apply both natural dyes and persistent chemical.
2. Brush. The width of the used brush should not exceed three centimeters. This is important to get the desired result.
3. Dishes for mixing drugs. It is best to take a glass or plastic container. Using metal is highly discouraged.
4. Barrettes or clothespins for fastening hair.
5. Hairbrush. Required to create a fleece. Best if it is a scallop.

Classic shuttle is created in several stages.

1. Hair is thoroughly combed, then separated into several thin strands. Their width should be approximately 2 centimeters.
2. Now the selected strands should be combed with a comb.
3. Then you can begin to clarify - for this, a clarifier is prepared in a special bowl. The intensity of the product should be selected relative to the structure of the hair: for thin - no more than 4%, and for thick - 12%. Using a special brush, the product is applied to combed hair. A few centimeters should recede from the roots. Some lighten only half of the hair. You need to paint slowly and carefully, moving the composition to the tips.
4. It is fleece that helps to achieve a smooth transition, but if the desired result is sharper lines, then combing should not be done too much. Blondes can skip this stage and immediately start toning. Depending on the base hair color, you must wait for the set time. As a rule, this step does not take more than 30 minutes. Over time, the dye must be thoroughly washed off with water.
5. If the result is suitable, then the work can be safely continued. If not, then tinting dye must be distributed along the entire length of the hair.
6. After 15 minutes, it can be washed off.
7. Now you need to apply a moisturizer - balm or hair mask. Keep the product for at least ten minutes, and then rinse.

In this case, the dye is applied using a special brush or hands, making the hairstyle more effective.

The work is carried out as follows.

1. First of all, you need to choose two basic shades, as similar as possible to the base. From the roots should literally retreat a couple of centimeters.
2. Then, in random order, paint is applied to the strands. In order to get smooth transitions, you need to shade it.
3. For a certain time, the paint is kept on the hair, and then thoroughly washed off. Time depends on the base color and structure of the hair.
4. If necessary, the curls can be additionally painted with a tinting agent.

Another important point is further care after the procedure. It will take some time and little effort to restore hair after the crank.

Basic rules for the care of dyed hair.

• The most important thing to take care of in the first place is a specialized shampoo for colored hair. Such products can be found in cosmetic stores. It will be better if all hair products are from the same series.
• In the case when the curls become brittle or dry, silicone-based products will be required. Such a composition will create a protective shell on them.
• Do not neglect the nourishing masks on a natural basis. Masks made from fruits, honey, eggs, various herbs and the like ingredients are good.
• Head washing should be approached with all responsibility - the water should be warm, and after washing itself, the curls should be washed additionally with cold water.
• From appliances such as hair dryers and irons, you need to be completely. Such electrical appliances do not have the best effect on the condition of the hair.
• In no case should you walk without a headdress in direct sunlight.
• Also, wet hair should not be combed, as this causes them mechanical damage.

Performing a shuttle is extremely difficult, especially if you do it yourself. In no case can you neglect the recommendations and services of the masters, because if even one mistake is made, the hair can be seriously damaged.
