Among the modern techniques of fashionable hair coloring, it is not easy to choose the one that suits you. All of them differ according to the principle of execution, the number of tones used, the degree of hair lightening and other characteristics. In this article, we will consider such a kind of coloring as shatush, specifically: the use of this technique for dyeing dark hair.
Some believe that dark hair can not give such beautiful overflows as curls of shades of blond. In fact, thanks to the application of innovations in hairdressing, even brunettes can get the effect of sun glare on their hair. The “trick” of the shatush technique is precisely this. This is just a find for dark-haired beauties who do not want to subject their curls to full lightening, especially since achieving ideal results in this matter is not easy. This is especially true for girls of exotic blood, which by nature have hard, pitch black curls.
Features
First, let's talk about the shatusha as a technique in general. It is based on the distribution among the strands of several related shades - usually four. At the same time, the roots are the darkest tones, and the tips are light. The master has relative freedom - he can retreat from the roots at different distances, take more or less hair. You can correct the result after four months, while a repeat visit will take no more than an hour. This is convenient, given that you do not need to carefully monitor the growth of roots.
Advantages and disadvantages
The advantages of staining are a pretty impressive list. Here are its main advantages:
- the distribution of colors is not clearly delineated, so the result looks very natural and harmonious;
- with a natural background color, there is no need to often tint the roots;
- neat hairstyles;
- additional volume effect;
- relatively short execution (hour);
- gray hair disguise;
- gives a beautiful effect to the strands burnt out in the sun.
The disadvantages of this technique are relative and may seem to some people not disadvantages, but rather its features:
- not suitable for too short hair;
- if the main color is noticeably different from natural, then you will have to refresh the color monthly;
- high price in salons.
How to choose a shade?
To choose the most suitable color, the colorist must take into account your natural color, the structure of the curls, the presence of color and the features of your previous dye, if the shade of the hair is changed. Check out which color accents hairdressers recommend:
- if the hair has a rich black color, then strands of chocolate and nutty tones will suit you;
- brunettes, whose hair is slightly lighter than in the first paragraph, can experiment with copper, caramel, walnut, wheat, golden;
- dark red-haired girls will be fine with strands of beige, bright red, copper, gold and salmon.
Owners of hair of the above colors are recommended to use mild oxide - 3–6% for thin hair, and 9–12% for hard hair.
Let's consider separately ultramodern options of a shatusha for dark hair.
Chocolate
The range of such colors includes milk chocolate, dark chocolate, coffee with milk and the like. They will look good on brown-eyed women with fair skin.
Color
Red, red, purple colors and their shades are most suitable for dark-haired beauties who want to transform due to bright accents in their hairstyle.
Ashen
Best of all, this option will decorate tanned brunettes. With light skin, it is recommended only to blue-eyed women, otherwise the image may turn out to be too dull.
Staining technique
There are two ways to make a shuttle for dark hair, we will talk about them later.
Fleeced
The brighter the effect you want, the more you need to comb your hair.
- Hair is divided into locks with a thickness of 1.5-2 centimeters. Paint is applied starting from the back of the head, and the rest is fixed with clamps.
- Each strand is combed from the roots and covered with a composition, but this is done as if superficially - so that the color lies with glare. Short neat and fairly intense strokes should not touch the roots. As you can see, making such a stain is not so easy - it is a whole art. Therefore, colorists who know their business are so valued, and usually get to them only by appointment.
- When each strand will be painted, you need to wait an average of about half an hour, the time depends on the paint and the specific case.
No fleece
This staining method also involves the option of using a brush brush, which is simply dipped in paint and carried through the hair. With the apparent simplicity of the method, it is better to use it for experienced professionals. In general, without combing it is somewhat more difficult to make a shuttle.
The general principle remains the same as in the previous version, but since the locks are not combed, you need to do the effect of brush strokes on your own.
To do this, the master tries to apply each stroke so that at the beginning and at the end it is less bright and merges with the rest of the hair as much as possible.
Aftercare
Shatush is a gentle method of dyeing, but it is also able to spoil hair with frequent use. Therefore, after visiting the hair salon, special care is necessary.
- That’s why, even when colorizing, it’s important to choose a good shampoo and conditioner. Get these two products from the same series, designed for hair with highlighting. Many companies have a line specifically for not fully dyed, but colored hair.
- Do not neglect additional hair care products. It is not necessary to buy expensive products from luxury cosmetics, you can do spa treatments for your hair from improvised products. Traditionally, they use honey, eggs, kefir, herbal infusions, fruits. In addition, homemade cosmetics are considered more useful than those produced in laboratories.
- Use curling irons and irons less, and when washing, try to set the water to a warm mode, not hot.
- In hot weather, cover your head with hats, bandanas or caps, try not to be long under the scorching sun without a hat. Sea water in the first days after painting is undesirable, and, in general, it is always better to remove hair under a plastic hat so that the color does not lose its brightness too quickly.
- After your hair is decorated with a stylish shuttle, it’s nice to undergo wellness treatments like mesotherapy. For greater shine, lamination or keratin can be made.
- You can use products with silicone that can protect hair from external influences, especially if they are prone to brittleness.
- If you are going to try to make a shuttle, then a little preparation will be useful. 3 weeks before the procedure, do not dye your hair, treat it with useful masks. And even drink a course of beauty vitamins and minimize the thermal effect with irons and hair dryers. It is better to get a haircut before the procedure, and not after it. Do not wash your hair the day before your visit to the salon, this will help to achieve a better result.
Who is it for?
When choosing one or another way of coloring, it is not enough to rely on the photos you like from the Web or examples of friends. It is important to consider the features of your hair, such as their general condition, structure, natural color and preferences in hairstyles. Find out which hair is perfectly decorated with a stencil style coloring.
Length
Optimal for dyeing are medium and long hair. Glare and overflow of shades will really sparkle on them. It will be difficult to reveal all the richness of color on shorter haircuts. Of course, nothing is impossible for experienced hairdressers, and they can try to do it even if you have a bob or an extended bean, but the result will not be so spectacular. And the owners of the garzon, for example, will have to opt for another colorization technique.
As for the bangs, then it does not hurt to make staining of the cranks on the hair. Usually it simply remains unchanged, and the strands themselves begin on the hair where its length ends. The only thing a hairdresser can do is add a couple of barely noticeable locks two shades lighter.
Structure
Wavy hair is just made for creative colors that are based on a game of glare. The main thing is for the hairdresser to be able to tame the obstinate hair during the procedure. And you also need to take into account that they are usually more porous in structure, and this affects the exposure time of the paint and the selection of the concentration of the oxidizing agent. Good care products are needed to make the curls really shine with health, and you can demonstrate them in all their glory. If you fell into the hands of an experienced colorist, you can rest assured that he knows all the intricacies of the process, and you can safely entrust him with your curls.
Straight hair is also suitable for creating a shatusha even in a daily version without curling, and if you twist it for a special occasion, the result will be very impressive.
Density
The splendor of the hair does not play a role, this type of coloring is suitable for thick and sparse hair. The latter will look simply gorgeous thanks to the use of several colors at once. Hairstyle will appear more voluminous and expressive.
Dyed hair
As we have already found out, natural hair color will benefit from dyeing in strands. But most often, girls who want to try creative methods of coloring have dyed their hair more than once. In this case, a number of points will have to be taken into account.
- You do not need to do it on hair dyed with basma or henna. It would seem that natural paints do less harm to hair, and there are only pluses in their use. But these natural dyes may inadequately respond to the synthetic composition, and as a result, you run the risk of getting strands of green or simply an incomprehensible color.
- After dyeing in shades of black or even dark blond, the hair will have to be lightened and tinted.
Beautiful examples
In this photo you can see that professionally made coloring of the cranks can decorate even not too long hairstyles like a bob. Despite the fact that the hair is smooth and not curled, the effect of glare and burnt strands is obvious. And most importantly, you can not be afraid of root growth, because after that the hair will not look worse. On the contrary, the result will become even more natural.
Platinum strands look very elegant in this version of the crank. It is ideal for light-eyed girls with very fair skin of the winter color type. The main thing is that the general appearance of the hair should be quite healthy, and they look well-groomed, otherwise it will be difficult to achieve the effect of “solar bunnies” in the hair.
In this example, the game of contrasts of tips and roots allows you to achieve the most diverse and enchanting effects. The hairstyle does not just look radiant - it resembles tongues of flame. A multi-layer model haircut can be stacked in different ways depending on the mood, and this will add variety to your everyday look.
For lovers of brighter colors, you can recommend this option in the style of shuttles. And also it is good for young girls who value individuality in everything and want to create their own unique and memorable image. The hairstyle shimmers with different shades of cherry and red, and the exquisite curl gives it even more charm.
A black-haired and brown-haired woman is an opportunity to renew her hair without changing her habits. Using this method, hair will not only become visually healthier. Hair will actually gain strength and shine due to the fact that you need to update the result infrequently, which means that they will have time to recover before the next painting. The effect of strands burned out in the sun to face all women, it gives the image of freshness, playfulness and brings a highlight. Such coloring gives you the opportunity to be fashionable and at the same time look natural.
