Coloring is considered a difficult procedure, but it is quite possible to cope with it at home. The easiest way is to dye light brown hair, since they do not require additional lightening procedures. Before you start coloring, you need to decide on the style, colors and prepare the appropriate tools. This will require several shades of paint, a comb, a brush, cut foil, a container for mixing the composition (preferably glass or plastic) and gloves. To easily fix the strands, you will also need hairpins.

Hair should not be washed before coloring; the time before painting and the last washing should be at least 48 hours. Thanks to this, the strands will acquire a protective fat layer and will be less susceptible to chemical attack by dyes.

The dyeing procedure itself, regardless of the length of the hair, is performed in stages as follows.

• First, you should comb the curls well and divide them into four parts: parietal, occipital and two temporal. First of all, the occipital zone should be painted, then the parietal and completed with areas on the temples.
• After that, several strands are separated at the back of the head, each of them must be fixed at the base with a hairpin. The first strand is taken, foil is placed under it and paint is applied with a brush according to the previously selected scheme. Then the curl is carefully wrapped in foil in such a way as to avoid paint dripping onto the rest of the areas. The foil is fixed at the base with a clip or hair clip. Then you can move on to coloring the rest of the strands.
• When the back of the head is painted, they move on to other zones, following a similar procedure. The applied composition is kept on the hair for at least 30 minutes (the exact time is indicated by the manufacturer on the paint packaging). It is first washed off with warm water, then using shampoo.
• The procedure ends with drying curls and styling.

For owners of long blond hair, it is best to apply vertical coloring using the ombre technique with 3-4 colors that are close to natural. If done correctly, you will get a smooth transition of shades at the ends.

Painting is carried out as follows.

• The hair should be combed and divided into three equal sections.
• Starting from the sides, you need to evenly distribute the paint to the ends of the strands, after which they are wrapped in foil and the composition is left for a time half as much as indicated in the instructions.
• The foil is removed. Distribute the dye from the ends along the entire length of the hair, keeping the remaining time.
• The curls are washed, their ends are oiled and dried.

Balayazh coloring technique will also be an excellent solution for long blond hair. For such a painting, you can choose both fiery and muted shades with notes of ash tint. You can do it yourself like this:

• first of all, you need to highlight the internal volume of the hair, where you need to apply the paint;
• then the tint composition is mixed and the curls are divided into two identical parts, one of them will be located on top, and the other - below;
• the upper strands are fastened with hairpins, and the lower ones are still re-divided into three parts;
• painting starts from the side zones, the coloring composition is applied from roots to ends, then the strands are wrapped in foil and kept for the time specified in the instructions;
• the procedure ends by removing the foil, washing, drying and styling the curls.

Nowadays, medium-length hairstyles are very popular among girls. In order to favorably emphasize the beauty of light brown strands, stylists advise using Californian coloring, after which the roots turn out to be painted in a dark tone, and the ends in a light one.For the implementation of this technique, ash and light chestnut tones are usually used. Thanks to this method of painting, an unusual effect of burnt-out strands is created.

At home, painting goes like this:

• hair is divided into several parts, which are planned to be given a shade;
• since painting must be started from the back of the head, all strands located in other zones are fixed to the base with a hairpin;
• strands of small thickness are selected in a chaotic manner, paint of a dark palette is applied to them from the roots, making a smooth transition with a light shade to the ends;
• then the strands are wrapped in foil and wait a certain time (it is indicated on the packaging for the paint);
• then the hair is washed and dried.

Daring girls can experiment with brighter colors, preferring reds, blues and greens. As a painting material, it is recommended to use unstable gels that will wash off easily over time. If a fashionista has coloring skills, then she can be patterned using different tones.

Coloring for short haircuts can be performed according to various schemes, it all depends on the girl's personal preferences and the desired image. For light brown hair, both full and partial coloring are great. Now the deepening of natural color is in vogue, therefore, fair-haired ladies are recommended to paint using tones 4 shades lighter or darker than the natural color of curls. Dyeing is carried out on unwashed hair. To do this, perform the following steps.

• First of all, the hair itself is prepared - they are combed and divided into several zones, each of which will be further subdivided into separate strands.
• Each thin strand is alternately painted with the appropriate shade, choosing different widths, ranging from a few millimeters to a few centimeters. After that, the colored curls are carefully wrapped in foil so that there is no mixing of tones.
• After a certain time (after about 30 minutes), the paint is washed off, the hair is treated with a nourishing mask and styling is done.
