Coloring for dark and light hair photo

Coloring is not painting hair in one tone, but several shades. Coloring can even be called highlighting, if there was a toning of the hair after lightening.

Hair coloring: what is it, photo

Even 10 years ago, everyone knew what hair coloring was, since this concept was widely used in hairdressing. Today, coloring is not tone-on-tone, no one calls coloring. Most often, both masters and clients operate with such fashionable words as balayage, highlighting, airtouch, ombre, etc.

So, coloring is hair coloring, as a result of which two or more shades are present on the head. To perform coloring, you need to lighten the hair, and then toned it in the desired shade. Therefore, complex staining, which involves several stages, can be called coloring.

Hair coloring can be done using different techniques:

• Balayazh is an open hair lightening technique, the peculiarity of which is that the strand is stained from above and below, and the middle remains intact;
• Highlighting is performed using a comb with a metal tip. The master picks strands with a darn and brightens them in foil. Then paint in the desired color.
• Airtouch is a technique using a hair dryer. The air helps to highlight the layers, resulting in a beautiful pattern on the hair.

Using various lightening techniques, you can create the most unusual patterns on your hair. See photo.

If there is a bang, you need to add colored rows to it, otherwise the hairstyle will look inharmonious.

What shades to choose so that the coloring looks good?

As we found out earlier, coloring includes several stages of painting. At the beginning, the master brightens the strands, and then applies the desired shades to them. Now coloring, made in 2 or 3 shades, is fashionable, before they combined up to 5 colors.

Brunettes or owners of dark hair are suitable for coloring in warm chocolate tones. The color of the roots is considered the base and should be the darkest. For example, if the roots are chestnut or chocolate in color, you can add copper, wheat, caramel strands.

If you want to create a more extreme look, dark hair can be combined with colors: eggplant, mahogany (mahogany), violet or purple.

Another coloring option for brown-haired women or brunettes is coloring bleached strands in red and copper. By the way, warm tones are now in trend.

Coloring for blond hair: nuances

Coloring light colored hair can be done without prior clarification, as the base is suitable. It is enough to choose the desired shades (usually they take monochrome ones) and apply them, according to the intended pattern. At the beginning, the whole head is divided into zones, and strands are isolated from them.

If you plan to color light natural hair, preliminary clarification is still necessary. But it is performed on a low percentage of oxidizer – 3%.

To perform hair coloring at home, you need to prepare paints of the desired shades and separate brushes and bowls for each. It is necessary to apply paint quickly, and lay out the hair so that there is as little contact as possible between different colors.

Hair coloring – fashionable and extreme

Today, not only teenagers, but also adult women are open to experiments with hair. Someone cuts his hair like a boy, someone makes a strange bang, and still others choose an unusual hair color.

Rainbow coloring or a combination of other bright colors is now in trend. To achieve brightness, the hair must first be lightened, as in the case of brunettes. Then the selected bright colors are applied to the selected strands. When coloring, the main thing to consider is the compatibility of shades, for example, when applying blue paint to a yellow blond, you will naturally get green.

Coloring ideas for brown hair

Light blond beauties will suit gentle coloring in warm shades. Betalights, airtouch or highlighting techniques are most suitable for natural blond hair. But, bright colors – coral, carrot, burgundy on light brown hair do not look quite harmonious, they are more suitable for brown-haired women and brunettes.

How to care for hair after coloring

So, if you decide on home or salon coloring, remember that after that it is important to properly care for your hair. Shampoos, oils, masks and balms that add shine to your hair are the first thing you need.

Scalp Active Toner Hair Tonic helps preserve color and prolong the life of coloring. You can also use SILK HAIR serum or Diva Mask to strengthen the roots and accelerate hair growth.

In order for a bright shade of hair not to be washed off for as long as possible, you should abandon hot styling devices, such as irons or curling irons. And dry with a hair dryer with warm or air. Washing your hair in hot water will also lead to a quick loss of shine and color saturation, so practice a contrast shower.
