Shatush is a modern method of dyeing that recreates the natural color of hair, which is obtained after prolonged exposure to the sun. Using this technique, a balanced color is obtained that becomes lighter at the ends of the hair.
What it is?
The word "shatush" comes from the Persian language and means "royal pleasure." In fact, after dyeing, the hair looks royal. When using this method of staining, in contrast to highlighting, there is no noticeable contrast between the colored curls and unpainted. Shading is done gradually, as a result light brown shade is more balanced and natural.
To maintain attractiveness, the girl should repeat the dyeing procedure every 2-3 months, it all depends on the length of the hair. The shorter it is, the less often you need to repaint. It is worth saying that for women who have gray hair, this method of painting is ideal, because it will look natural, and not like regrowing hair. A shuttle is being made from roots to ends.
Shatush allows you to lighten your hair in a balanced way.
