Everything you need to know about creative hair coloring

Every fashionista who adores experimenting with her appearance tends to resort to updating her image by dyeing her hair. And, of course, she at least once resorted to non-standard dyeing of the strands. This shocks others, allows you to realize preferences in a certain style, and also helps out when you need to appear at a party in a spectacular way. Let's take a closer look at the nuances of creative hair coloring by examining the varieties of such a paint and the method of its application.

Creative hair coloring refers to the coloring of curls in several contrasting shades. On average, the number of tones can be 8-10, the minimum option will consist of two pigments that contrast with each other. At the same time, painting can be very diverse.

Creative coloring has several methods, each of which has its own nuances and requires a specific hair structure. As for the shades, the color solutions can be very diverse. As a rule, this is a thoughtful work of a stylist who selects colors with a certain craving for a particular direction in clothing. For example, coloring can gravitate towards anime, gothic, give off a kind of abstraction inherent in the avant-garde.

Moreover, it often reproduces the painted hairstyles of the heroes of the manga.An interesting nuance is the fact that creative coloring can be done under a natural color. In this case, with loose hair, it is practically invisible, and therefore it will not interfere with the strict style. In general, creative coloring is performed on hair of any length.

Sometimes these are some kind of drawings, sometimes a smooth ombre effect, but it is wrong to confuse it with coloring. This is a riot of colors that is unlike anything else. It is unique in its kind.

Before dyeing, the stylist assesses the condition of the hair. Each factor can influence the choice of technique, be it density, density, length or structure. These are the key factors that will determine how the pigment is taken. For example, sometimes hair must be lightened first, thin hairs are not able to hold red dyes. The colors are selected taking into account the color of the skin and eyes.

Creative hair coloring is a salvation for those who are tired of their hair color and want a sharp change of image, albeit for a short time. It has many advantages:

• most of these dyes does not have ammonia, and therefore does not harm the hair, in particular does not destroy its structure;
• the combination of shades can be very diverse, here it is allowed to mix paints with varying degrees of intensity and temperature;
• this is a great way hide facial imperfections, distracting from it with the brightness and creativity of painting;
• creative hair coloring has visual effect of face correction, she rejuvenates her owner;
• coloring does not penetrate into the hair, it is rather its enveloping or some kind of lamination effect, which protects the hair from ultraviolet radiation and moisture loss;
• most of the paints are washed off with water, and therefore, if you wish, you can quickly get rid of the bright image, if you wanted something different.

In addition, unusual and effective coloring allows you to hide the scarcity of hair, it is also suitable for damaged strands. However, apart from the pluses, creative coloring has its drawbacks as well.

• Some professional remedies are not harmful to the hair structure, they lead to moisture loss and fragility.
• This kind of work is professional can be done by a qualified stylist with a sense of taste, who will be able to pick up the shades and choose the most successful technique for a particular client.
• Washable paints usually don't last long. To maintain the brightness of the shades, you will have to resort to correction or re-staining after several shampoos.
• Such painting is not cheap: on average, the price tag ranges from 3000 rubles and above.
• Creative dyeing is demanding on the selection of clothes. Depending on which style the girl preferred, you may need to buy new things. This is especially true when the stylist used permanent professional paint in his work.
• An unsuccessful option, made with special dyes, you can't fix it yourself. Sometimes the hair has time to grow back, and the paint is never washed off with water.

Conventionally, all varieties of creative coloring of curls can be combined into two large groups. This is the so-called stencil and block techniques. Each of them has its own characteristics.

Stencil dyeing consists in applying a previously prepared pattern to the hair using a stencil. The technique is quite capricious in the choice of hair and is suitable exclusively for straight curls: the pattern is visible on them well, without distortion. In this case, the average is considered the ideal length. As for the wavy strands, with all the desire and straightening after washing, they can take on a natural structure. In this case, the drawing will not be visible on them.

Stencils for staining are prepared in advance.This can be a stylist's version or a picture created individually, taking into account the wishes of the client. Favorite prints of this color are peacock tail, leopard skin, python skin. And also it can be a colored lizard, a checkerboard, clouds in the sky, a tartan.

The name itself determines the essence of the technique: in this case, the hair is divided into several parts and each of them is painted with a certain color. At the same time, painting can cover not only the entire head, sometimes it is performed on separate strands. And also the technique is variable in that the transition from one shade to another can be both sharp and smooth according to the ombre principle. Blocks can be colored in different ways, but matching the size of the drawing with the length of the hair here is a key condition for the harmony of the coloring.

Such coloring becomes more complicated with the increase in the number of contrasting shades involved in the work. In addition, the type of haircut and its length are of great importance here. For example, a short haircut will require preliminary preparation of a paint scheme.

One of the unusual types of hair coloring is segmental staining... For its implementation, the stylist initially develops a hairstyle model, after which he performs a specific haircut, taking into account the position of each centimeter of the future pattern. After that, the master starts painting, creating interesting drawings, often in a geometric theme.

Pixel coloring is a complex type of painting. It can be performed by a highly qualified specialist. This process is quite time consuming and difficult from the point of view of work. It takes a lot of time to complete it, even if the chosen drawing seems quite simple. This coloring looks stylish and impressive, even if it occupies a small part of the hair.

If the structure of the strands is different, it makes no sense to resort to such techniques, since the pattern will either be distorted or invisible at all.

For wavy as well as straight hair, you can use splashlights technique. It involves dyeing the strip transversely to hair growth. In this case, the strip is first lightened and then colored. When staining, the strip can be single, and there can also be several of them.

As for hair color, in this case more clearly the contours of the pattern are visible on the dark hair. In addition, the basis can be an ombre with a characteristic smooth transition of the base color to a lighter color. Red hair can be decorated with a black pattern. If you want to paint light strands, you should choose dark colors for the drawing, which will stand out on such a basis. And also blond goes well with blue, bright orange and burgundy paint tones.

Despite the fact that coloring is best done in a salon, some women of fashion prefer to experiment on their appearance at home. For example, you can dye one bangs, a temple, the upper third of the hair, one side. Consider the nuances of each technique

Before you start dyeing your hair with a stencil, the curls are combed well, combed back and lightly sprayed with varnish. This is necessary in order to make it easier to transfer the drawing, excluding work flaws and blurred contours. After that, the stencil is fixed on the head using special clamps, which are usually used by hairdressers. Now you can start making the print.

The picture with the cut holes is drawn with a brush, paying special attention to the contours.The paint is kept on the head for the time indicated on the packaging of a particular manufacturer. After that, the stencil is removed, the hair is washed, not forgetting to fix the result with a hair balm. When this technique is performed "at once", the result is fixed with varnish. When you get home, the paint can be washed off with warm water.

In this case, separate blocks are painted from roots to tips. This can be done both for short haircuts and for medium-length hair and even for long curls. To color the blocks, foil and prepared dyes are used, which are applied to the strands and wrapped. After the allotted time, the paint is washed off with warm water. Do not overexpose it as it can damage your hair.

This type of dyeing looks especially impressive on haircuts such as bob and bob, including its asymmetrical variety. You can diversify your haircut with bangs, which can be regular, oblique, thick in a retro style or milled. If you plan to paint on dark or even black hair, you will have to whiten them first, otherwise the pigment may not take. It is easier to dye light strands: here they immediately paint the strands in different colors.

In this case, the structure of the hair can be different (straight, wavy, it can be strands with torn edges). It can be asymmetry, shaved sides, as well as the usual classics. This is a versatile option that works for both long and short hair. The color is not fundamental here (the basis can be blond, red, and also black tone).
