You have been growing your hair for several years, treat it very carefully. Curling iron, hair dryer - what do you mean, by no means! And dyeing, God forbid ... But the art of dyeing long hair does not stand still, it is just as important for specialists to preserve the beauty of your hair. After all, you want to come back to a good hairdresser again and again. Moreover, every year new fashion trends appear in this area, the scope for imagination is not limited to ordinary highlighting and monochromatic coloring. But before rushing to the salon, let's find out what new items await us in the magical world of hair dyeing next season.

First, let's explore some interesting dyeing trends that have emerged in hairdressing. First of all, the chosen style should be relevant and right for you. Naturalness is the main fashion trend of the current season. We slightly change our natural hair color, for this there are many dyeing techniques: balayazh and shatush, bronding and colombre, pixel technique and stencils. Let's take a closer look at each type.

Sombre and ombre - this classic coloring looks best on brown-haired and brunettes. If your master does everything right, then the transition from dark hair to blonde will be almost imperceptible, as if your hair was slightly faded in the southern sun. Ombre differs from sombre by the transition from dark to light. Most often, the blurred border separating the two tones is located in the middle of the head. On blondes, this effect will be almost invisible.And the sombre style is glare, slight fading. Most often, highlights are found in the lower part of the hair, while the roots are longer than the main hair color. The transition of tones from dark to light should be barely noticeable.

Remember the time when some particularly daring girls used rainbow colors? Colombre is the same, only this method was modernized and made less sparing. In this case, the main length of the hair and roots do not need to be pre-lightened. To get the perfect result, only the ends require pre-lightening. Then paint is applied to the entire length of the hair, the ends become expressive and brighter.

Another type of highlighting, but the strands are not highlighted along the entire length, but only by two-thirds. To give the image a natural naturalness, it is necessary to use several shades of paint, while the transitions should be barely noticeable. A real professional will color your hair in such a way that it is not clear how this effect was achieved. And close friends will be interested in where did you get this shade of hair - did you grow the tips or they burned out in the sun.

Shatush is the most versatile technique today. This technique uses the maximum stretching of the color, it is carried out in air in order to make the hair look more shiny and vibrant. Suitable for both the younger generation and older women. The only limitation is the length of the hair, because on short hair it will be very difficult to achieve the effect of stretching the color. It will be difficult for owners of hair of fiery shades. But there is a way out, having previously painted the entire length in a light tone, you can start painting with the shatush technique.

Bronding is another fashion trend. With this technique, the effect of a soft overflow of colors is created, the main thing is not to overdo it, but to make the coloring of the most natural tones. The most popular combination of chocolate and coffee shades, followed by honey and hazel blond. On long straight hair it will look perfect, on wavy and curly hair it looks sloppy. Most suitable for brunettes.

Pixel art - burst rapidly into the fashionable world of colorists, tore all previous ideas on changing hair color to shreds. The ancestors of this innovative technique are the Spaniards. Let's take a look at what pixel technique is. Let's imagine a Tetris game, running figures in the form of polygons and small squares. Here are approximately the same patterns can be created on the surface of the hair for lovely ladies. There are very few specialists working in this complex technique. Admirers of this technique are undoubtedly bright, non-trivial personalities, those who do not like routine and monotony.

Stencil coloring. Using this technique, drawings and original patterns are made on the hair. This is done with special layouts, that is, stencils that are made of silicone. Such stencils are applied to the hair and dyed with either tonic or spray paint. Can be applied to specific areas, for example, only on the bangs. As a rule, such an image is short-lived - for parties and shows where you need to look shocking.

Dyeing long hair has its own characteristics.You can be proud of long hair, as it is not easy to care for such a shock, one daily styling is worth it. Waist-length hair is captivating and eye-catching, but even more attention will be paid to you if the master colorist dyes it beautifully.

If we compare short and long hair, then long ones give themselves away with a large number of split ends. Therefore, the staining procedure must be carried out as carefully as possible.

• Coloring is a more gentle way of refreshing color. This technique allows you to experiment with shades and focus on both individual parts of the head and on its entire surface. You can not be afraid of creative ideas and choose not only natural shades, but also contrasting tones.
• When coloring, it is imperative to create smooth, barely noticeable transitions. If your natural hair color is dark, then you can leave it as base, lightening only the ends. More daring and decisive representatives of the female population can take a chance and try to perform a colored ombre.
• If you have chosen a complex staining technique, then it is important not to forget about your facial features. It turns out that the shape of a face that has flaws can be visually corrected using bronding, ombre or shatusha.
• If you are a fan of experimenting with hair coloring at home, then you need to know which types are unacceptable for you. It is not easy to carry out coloring balayazh, and even more so to bronding on your own, because they are difficult to perform for a non-professional.

What shade of paint, black or white, maybe a multicolor rainbow? Any girl or woman asked herself such questions more than once before going to a beauty salon for a hair dye procedure. It turns out that if you know your color type, then choosing the right shade will not be painful and long. There are four categories of separation: summer and winter, spring and autumn.

Slavic peoples are prominent representatives of this color type. They can be recognized by:

• light shade of eyes - blue, green or light brown;
• natural hair color, which ranges from dark brown to light sandy;
• complexion with a slightly yellow undertone.

Owners of a natural fiery red hue, which gives the face an unhealthy pallor, are advised to change their hair color to rich chocolate. For lovers of double dyeing, the complexion of a strand of golden and wheat shades in combination with the main brown color will be favorably emphasized. Try paints from brands such as L'Oreal (beige light blond), Schwarzkopf (golden blond) and Londa (special blond brown).

It is easy to distinguish the summer color type by:

• gray and blue eyes;
• natural hair color, which starts with light ash shades and ends with a rich chestnut;
• skin color with a pink undertone.

They strongly advise against this color type black shades from brown to the color of a raven's wing. If your cheeks are constantly set off by a natural blush, then mahogany shade is contraindicated for you. Owners of complexion with a yellow undertone should abandon golden and wheat shades. Feel free to use the already tested products from Syoss (metallic silver blond), Londa (brown-ash), Schwarzkopf (medium blond).

Representatives of this color type can be distinguished by:

• warm golden skin tone;
• dark curls from light red to rich chestnut, they are called brown-haired women;
• eyes of bright blue, light blue, dark brown and deep green.

They are easy to recognize by:

• eyes that range in color from gray and blue to brown and black;
• the skin of the face is pale white or dark in color.

Stylists have found the optimal solution for coloring the winter color type. First of all, it is advised to use dark blond. Ladies with a light skin tone are advised to abandon golden curls. Saturated shades of black will look harmonious. Try shades of paints from the following companies: L'Oreal (antigua), Schwarzkopf (cold espresso).

If you are too lazy to go to the hairdresser or do not have enough money, then you can try to dye your hair yourself at home. The staining performed by the master will differ in quality by an order of magnitude higher, but after reading some simple tips, you will be able to carry out the procedure correctly.

Regardless of how long your hair is and what the chosen shade, you will need:

• ceramic bowl for diluting the coloring composition;
• plastic gloves;
• a comb, it is better if its teeth are large and rare;
• a cape or old towel;
• brush for applying paint.

Let us list the necessary actions in sequence.

1. Those who have already tried to dye their hair for themselves know how difficult it is. You need to take a comfortable position and choose a method of application so that the entire surface of the hair is colored. The most difficult area is the back of the head. And you can accidentally hit, instead of hair, on the neck, forehead and temples. To prevent this from happening, apply a greasy cream to these areas. Thus, the trapped paint can be removed without difficulty.
2. Divide the hair into four parts: left-temporal and right-temporal, from the forehead to the crown and from the crown to the back of the head. The painting starts from the back of the head. Better to apply the color to slightly damp hair for deeper penetration.
3. For an even application, start at the roots along the parting. Then proceed to the front, distribute the dye first on the roots, then move to the ends of the hair. Paint the rest of the areas in the same way.
4. If dye remains, then apply it closer to the roots, and spread it evenly over the surface of the hair with a comb.
5. You do not need to put on a hat, modern formulations do not require this. After 30-40 minutes, rinse with warm water and shampoo and apply balm. Better to use products for colored hair.

A few tips for aspiring homebrew colorists:

• do not overexpose the paint, otherwise you can damage the hair structure;
• for the first staining, select a shade 2-3 tones different from your natural one;
• do not wash your hair immediately the next day, it is better to let it pass three days;
• do not use a metal comb, it can affect the chemical composition of the paint and lead to unpredictable consequences.

Long hair always looks attractive, especially if it is dyed using modern techniques and dyes.

• For lovers of the Gothic style, you can dye their hair in a bluish-black shade.

• Romantic natures are advised to use a combination of gold and blonde.

Admirers of red shades can mix chocolate and chestnut tones with copper and wheat shades.

• The ancient methods of hair bleaching have been replaced by new methods of dyeing in light shades. For example, shatush with shades of bleached flax and wheat.
