Balayazh on a square: features of staining and color selection

The main components in the image of a modern girl are not only beautiful makeup and manicure, but also a fashionable haircut with colored strands. Recently, many owners of medium-length hair have chosen balayage on a square, because, unlike other dyeing techniques, it looks unusual and interesting. In addition, balayage is easy to do at home.

Balayage is a popular type of highlighting that provides harmonious coloration and looks best on a bob haircut. Hair coloring in this way is performed using a special technology, taking into account the type of appearance and the shape of the girl's face. Most often, balayazh is used on an elongated square with bangs. A short square in this design can be afforded by ladies whose facial features are pointed, since the balayage is able to visually round out the forms. Chubby beauties need to dye their hair from the roots, thus, their face will be extended, and the look will be replenished with femininity.

The main feature of this technique is that the paint should be applied to straight curls in the shape of the letter V and the intensity of the shade increases smoothly, reaching maximum brightness at the ends of the hair. It is not necessary to have certain skills to make balayage at home. To do this, first, a haircut is performed with a slight elongation (up to the shoulders), then the hair is divided into many strands, the last of which is fixed from above. The dye is applied to each strand in a V-shape (this is done from the bottom up), the dye is kept for 45 minutes, then the hair will be washed and styled beautifully.

The advantages of balayazh include the following points:

• the ability to use on thin hair, since dyeing is the safest and most gentle;
• the technique allows you to visually give the curls mass and volume;
• natural look, properly colored hair looks like natural with the effect of burnt-out strands;
• suitable for the fair sex of any age on red, light, brown and dark blond hair, while for mature ladies, dyeing allows you to hide the gray color of gray hair.

Balayage can be performed on any hair color, but to get the perfect tint effect, you need to choose the right dye tone. A blonde needs to purchase a dye depending on her skin color, eyes and color type. So, for girls with the summer type, the ash and hazelnut color is perfect; for the winter color type, it is recommended to make a long and asymmetrical square, painted in shades of dark chocolate. Autumn and spring blondes should choose a caramel color.

Ladies with dark curls, in order to achieve maximum effect, must first lighten the strands to be painted. Since such girls are mainly attributed to the autumn and winter color types, in the first version it is necessary to take warm tones: caramel, golden and honey, and in the second - cold shades: silver, platinum and ash.

In addition, when performing balayage on dark hair, it is important to consider the following points:

• brunettes with gray eyes and fair skin should prefer the transition to ash;

• you can get a bright effect with the help of fiery red and red strands;

• lovers of natural colors need to use bronze, coffee and chocolate tones;

• for girls who are used to standing out from the crowd, lilac and raspberry shades are suitable for painting.

• For owners of chestnut curls, honey and caramel tones will help to emphasize the image. A beautiful shimmering effect can be achieved with the help of beige, golden and light brown colors. The chestnut shade is in perfect harmony with orange and yellow.

In the event that the lady has a graduated or oblique square, then light brown hair can be dyed in this way: some strands are lightened only at the ends, and the rest - along the entire length. The smooth transition of light brown to snow blonde also looks unusual. By painting strands of different heights with several colors, you can get interesting shades that resemble sun glare. In addition, light brown hair can be distinguished by large-colored curls of adjacent shades, such a balayage is made from the roots themselves, it is complex, but it looks incredibly beautiful.

Red hair is considered the most versatile in dyeing, as it always looks spectacular, regardless of the chosen shades. Stylists recommend that owners of fiery curls perform balayage as follows.

• The classic version. On an elongated square with bangs, a smooth stretch is made from light tips to dark root zones. The result is scattered highlights. You can add expressiveness to them using tinting in copper.
• An unusual contrast. Balayage is suitable for stylish women of fashion, in which red strands will be complemented by black tips. In addition, red can be replaced with dark brown.

Some ladies are faced with the problem of gray hair, which is difficult to paint over. In this case, experts recommend using the balayage technique, in which gray strands are mixed with colored ones and become invisible. For this, lilac, platinum, silver and purple shades are suitable.

Today there are many types of balayage, the ideal one is selected by specialists depending on the structure and length of the hair. In addition, the personal preferences of the girl and the peculiarities of her image are also taken into account. Most often, the following types of techniques are used to paint a square with bangs (elongated and medium):

• uneven, chaotic balayage;
• even or asymmetrical dyeing on the tips;
• full balayage;
• arbitrary coloring in several shades.

Balayazh, which is applied using the “separate strands” technique, is also very popular on an elongated square. You can do it yourself at home, following simple instructions:

1. first wash and comb your hair;
2. then their tips are lightened by 4 tones, for this they are wrapped in foil and the composition is kept for 15 minutes;
3. the foil is removed, and the paint is distributed to the remaining areas, it is left for another 25 minutes;
4. the painting is completed by washing the hair and applying a balm.

In the event that you have an elongated bob with bangs, then you can arbitrarily dye your hair only in the lower part, as for the bangs, it is usually left in its natural color. It is not recommended to dye short bangs on dark hair, this can only be done if it is asymmetrical or long. To do this, paint with a thin brush separately for each hair. The bangs are also colored when there is gray hair, while the lower strands are made dark, and the bangs are light.

For novice craftsmen, you can paint a square in an original way in such a simple way:

1. first, you should divide the hair into four parts, each of which should be fixed;
2. then apply 1 tone lightening paint to the ends;
3. the tips should be wrapped in foil and withstand the dye according to the instructions;
4. then the hair must be washed, dried and dyed with the next color;
5. the paint is applied from roots to ends and kept for 10 minutes;
6. after that, the composition is stretched with smooth movements along the entire length of the strands, wait 25-30 minutes and washed off.
