Peculiarities
Balayazh blond is a completely new and modern technique for dyeing hair, which is very popular with stylists in many countries around the world, including Russia.
The dyeing procedure is a technique for lightening separately selected strands.
- With this lightening technique, only professional coloring agents are used that do not harm the hair. Despite the fact that the staining does not reach the root zone, weakened and split ends can suffer from it. That is why professional products are used that contain care substances.
- Balayazh is suitable for the fair sex with any hair length, because it can help hide significant imperfections on the face, including too rough cheekbones or an elongated chin.
- With balayage, the ends of the hair are lightened, and the shade is selected, similar to the natural one, to obtain a smooth transition. Sometimes experts color the hair completely, that is, make the top dark and the bottom light.
- Blond balayage can be performed on both light hair and dark hair.On the second, it looks more interesting, although it suits blondes just as well.
Balayazh blond is not recommended to be done at home, especially if you do not have at least basic coloring skills. This is due to the fact that this technique is quite difficult to perform, especially on oneself.
Advantages and disadvantages
The popularity of modern balayage dyeing is due to its many benefits.
- This coloring does not harm the hair in any way, since it does not affect the root zone.
- For women with light and light brown hair, it is not necessary to do preliminary lightening before the main coloring; using the balayage technique, you can get the desired effect and shade in one go.
- Balayazh can help you look younger than his age, thanks to which he is very popular among not only young girls, but also middle-aged women.
- With the help of this staining technique, you can not only radically change the image, but also make it fresher without making very serious changes.
- This hair lightening technique is perfect for ladies with straight and wavy hair. Balayage is recommended even for those with thin hair, because thanks to this technique, the hair can be visually added volume.
In general, balayage does not have any restrictions, however, it has some disadvantages that cannot be ignored. First of all, this is the high price for this type of staining. Balayazh is a rather complicated procedure that takes some time, moreover, the master must know all the subtleties of this type of staining. That is why the average price for lightening is 4-5 thousand rubles, which, of course, is much higher than usual staining. And if at the same time an additional stretching of the color is done, then the price tag will be even higher.
With proper home care, balayazh will delight on average for six months, after which you will have to do some kind of color correction. And every 3 months, experts recommend toning, because over time, the white pigment is washed out of the hair, and the shade loses its former beauty.
Regular hair coloring, toning, color stretching and, of course, the recommended hair care procedures will cost a decent amount.
Recommendations for choosing a color
For fair-haired women, it is best to choose more natural shades for coloring, close to their own color, but lighter in several tones.
The following warm shades are in harmony with light brown and light hair most advantageously:
- gold;
- honey;
- wheat;
- caramel;
- almond;
- light amber and some others.
Warm shades even include strawberry blond, that is, a pink tint, with which balayage is also often made.
But for blondes who prefer cold colors, you can take a closer look at the pearl shade, platinum and ash.
It should be noted right away that the names of the shades may differ for different manufacturers. It is best to check this information with the hairdresser who will perform the balayage.
On dark hair, balayage blond is also very often done. For example, balayazh from red to blond looks very original, but in this case it is best to use a warm shade (for the transition), which will perfectly harmonize with the red. Balayazh perfectly comes out of a brunette.
Here, the choice of color for the tips, as a rule, depends on personal preference, because both warm and cold shades are in harmony with this color.
When choosing the right shade for dyeing your hair, you should also take into account the color of the eyes. For example, caramel shades, wheat and golden are most often suitable for ladies with blue eyes, but cold options ideally emphasize the depth of brown and green eyes. Of course, these selection criteria are conditional and are only considered general recommendations.
How to color your hair correctly?
As already mentioned, the balayage technique is quite complicated, which is why it is not performed independently. However, if you have any practical skills in hair coloring, then you can always practice at home.
So, in order to make complex staining, first you need to prepare the following inventory:
- mirror;
- a fine comb for parting and a massage brush;
- brush;
- gloves;
- pre-selected paint with the desired shade;
- container for paint;
- hair clips;
- cape;
- towel;
- shampoo and conditioner for colored hair.
If the shade of your own hair is light brown, then it is best to purchase paint without ammonia, it will be less traumatic for the strands.
Short
Balayage coloring can perfectly highlight the clear contour of short hair. It looks especially advantageous on a square. Moreover, with the help of this dyeing technique, you can highlight your own haircut in a favorable light, especially when you style it correctly. By following the step-by-step instructions, you can make a balayage at home.
- Hair should be combed with a massage comb, divided into two parts, and then all strands must be combed with a fine comb or comb.
- The fleece should be on two equal, separated zones.
- Then you need to dilute the paint. If it is ready-made in a box, then you just need to mix all the ingredients according to the instructions, and if it is professional, then the oxide must be mixed with the dye mixture. Everything must be mixed until a homogeneous mass is obtained.
- All strands should be coated in such a way that the paint does not touch the fleece itself and, of course, does not reach the roots.
- Typically, the average waiting time is 20-25 minutes. The exact time should be checked on the paint box.
- After that, the hair should be thoroughly washed with shampoo and balm, and then dried and styled.
Average
Balayage for medium hair is done as often as for short hair. The main difference here, perhaps, is that the procedure takes a little longer and is rather painstaking, especially if there is a lot of hair and they are thick. The bangs are not always lightened, but only at will. Consider the step-by-step instructions for performing the procedure.
- Pre-combed hair should be divided into several equal zones using a fine comb. Hair must be secured with clips or elastic bands.
- To keep the hair out of the way, it should be twisted. This is especially true for the upper layers, because long hair is best dyed from below.
- Next, mix the paint according to the instructions, and proceed to staining.
- We dissolve one of the lower zones. It is best to start from the neck area. Select several thin strands from it using a fine comb. We coat the strand with paint from the end only on one side, we do not reach the roots. You should not make a clear contour when painting, which will evenly reach the roots. When doing balayage, you can not be afraid of careless and uneven movements, only they allow you to get the most natural effect when staining.
- Then we paint on the back. From the roots to staining, an average of 4 cm should remain.
- This procedure should be repeated in the same way for all other strands of hair. The thinner the selected strand is, the more beautiful and delicate the effect will be.
- Upon completion, we maintain the time allotted for the paint and wash it off. We use shampoo and balm, and then dry the curls with a hair dryer.
Long
Coloring for long hair is done in the same way as for medium hair. But if there are overgrown roots of a different color, they will have to be painted with dark paint, a so-called color stretch should be performed. In fact, it turns out like this: balayazh is done at the ends up to the middle of the hair, and then the roots are painted, the transition between dark and light colors is done using a fine comb and the so-called rubbing the color by hand.
It can be quite difficult to complete all the steps without a helper.
And a few more tips from experts that may come in handy.
- It is best not to dye on freshly washed hair. Ideally, a few days have passed since the last wash.
- After the paint is washed off after staining, specialists apply a special tinting agent. For home, for example, you can purchase a toning shampoo that will maintain the desired color for a long time. It can also be used immediately after the first staining.
- It is best not to use metal options as hair clips, as they can enter into an oxidative reaction with hair dye, as a result, not only the hair color itself, but also their health may suffer.
And, finally, before doing balayage-style painting at home, it is recommended to watch several training videos that will help you understand the essence of the technique in even more detail.
