Coloring options for blond hair

If you want your curls to sparkle with fresh colors, to maximize the depth and saturation of shades and at the same time look feminine, then coloring will be the best choice. It looks especially impressive on blond hair.

Coloring is a special technique for dyeing strands with application of several shades (usually from 3 to 15). This is the difference between coloring and highlighting, in which a maximum of two tones are used.

Coloring can be performed on native and colored hair, thin and dense, thick and rare - in any case, the hairstyle acquires additional volume and splendor, and also begins to shine with soft tints of color. Stylists point out that coloring looks best on blondes, as well as owners of light blond hair. By the way, if you alternate between different types of styling, then you can highlight different shades - in this way a girl can look in a new way every time, but invariably fresh and attractive.

The coloring technique is that individual curls are painted in a chaotic manner, unevenly and asymmetrically.

Today, there are at least a dozen ways to color light hair, so every woman can choose the one that will best match her style, color type and hairstyle features. The following techniques are most in demand.

• Horizontal. This coloring is also called transverse. In this case, the curls are painted parallel to the direction of their growth. Usually, the hair is visually divided from the roots to the middle - one color is applied here, as a rule, a little darker, and the ends are tinted in another. The result of this application of paint is the effect of slightly regrown hair, which has been considered one of the most TOP trends for several seasons.

• Partial (zonal). Coloring involves the selection of a separate area on the mop and its further coloring. Most often, bangs or temporal areas are dyed. Thus, you can smooth out the oval of the face and emphasize the geometry of the hairstyle.

• Longitudinal (vertical). In this design, individual strands are painted, each in a separate color, selected by the stylist. Today blondes prefer Italian, Californian and Venetian highlighting, bronzing and balayage dyeing technique.

• Stencil. The most demanded and creative coloring, it suits the determined and daring women who are not afraid to attract the attention of others. In this case, the master uses a stencil, with which he carefully distributes the coloring paste on the surface of the hair, and creates original ornaments for it - leaves, patterns, waves, as well as spots and other patterns. It should be noted that this coloring is not suitable for everyone - it can only be performed on perfectly smooth and even curls.

• Complete. It means painting the entire mop with a basic shade and creating spectacular accents with other colors all over the head. The result is a stylish and expressive effect of contrasts.

• "Salt and pepper" - this is a very effective technique, but it is only suitable for owners of light brown and ash curls, as well as gray-haired women. At the same time, individual strands are given a platinum, pearl or steel shade, and in order for the coloring to become even more effective, the tips are additionally tinted in shades of a darker color.

Most blondes prefer such a stylish method of coloring as coloring. This is not surprising, because the method has many advantages in comparison with painting in one or two tones.

• The technique is one of the most gentle, since here only part of the hair is exposed to the aggressive action of the paint, while the root zone is not affected.
• It is performed much faster and easier than all other staining options.
• Looks harmoniously on strands of any length and structure, suitable for natural and colored curls, in the presence of gray hair, effectively masks it.
• Forms soft play on the hair, thanks to which the curls acquire additional splendor. If the hair is dyed in colors close to natural, then the color turns out to be deeper and more saturated, and if the curls are dyed in contrasting tones, then you can radically change your image in a matter of minutes.
• Visually rejuvenates the face, tightens the oval, distracts attention from the onset of age-related changes.
• It does not require frequent correction - as it grows, the difference between the native and colored strands is almost invisible, so you can visit the stylist no more often than 3-4 times a year.
• If the experiment is unsuccessful, it is always possible to dye the hair in other shades.

Despite such a large number of advantages, coloring also has obvious disadvantages:

• the difficulty of doing it yourself at home;
• the likelihood of mistakes when choosing a shade - in this case, the result will look unnatural and give an untidy look
• if during the procedure the oxidizer was selected incorrectly, then when the curls are lightened, a yellow tint is often obtained.

When colorizing light hair, it is very important to choose the optimal shade.Here you need to take into account many different factors - the age of the lady, the tone of the native hair, skin and eyes, the features of the haircut and the desired effect.

For the youngest girls, any shades are suitable - both close to their native color and creative, but for older women, preference should be given to a calmer natural color scheme.

For women with pale skin and light eyes, cool pure white, ash, platinum and pearl tones are suitable, but if the hair is colored in dark shades, then a bluish-black color is suitable here. In this case, painting can be carried out both with the design of sharp contrasts, and with smooth overflows.

For owners of dark skin and dark eyes, warm shades are suitable - golden, honey, wheat or cognac, caramel, black and chocolate also look good.

In most cases, coloring of long and short hair is carried out in beauty salons, but the simplest techniques can be done independently at home.

Step by step, all manipulations are performed as follows.

• In a glass or porcelain bowl, paints are diluted, while a separate container is needed for each color scheme.
• The skin near the hairline is covered with a greasy cream to protect it from staining.
• Hair is divided into 4 zones - two temporal, occipital, and also on the crown. For maximum convenience, each is secured with special clamps.
• The strands selected for coloring are separated with a comb with a narrow separator or a knitting needle, placed on a piece of foil and a paste is applied, after which the foil is folded along the edges and in half so that the coloring emulsion does not leak out.
• The brush is thoroughly washed, after which a second shade is applied to the hair, and this is repeated with all the colors. Leave it for 25-30 minutes, then wash your head thoroughly with shampoo and condition it.

So that coloring will delight you with its bright saturated shades as long as possible, after dyeing, the strands must be properly looked after:

• for shampooing, you should choose only special shampoos for colored hair;
• if possible, you need to reduce the use of irons and hairs;
• before going out in the summer, hair should be protected with a hat or kerchief;
• re-staining should be done no earlier than a month after the first procedure.
