Features of dyeing curly hair

Hair coloring is always popular with women. The subtleties of such a procedure depend not only on the chosen dyeing technique, but also on the characteristics of the hair. The article will focus on how to properly paint curly curls.

When dyeing hair at home, it is necessary to take into account the characteristics of the strands. Otherwise, you can damage the curls or get the wrong shade. Curly hair is more porous than straight hair. Therefore, when dyeing curly curls, the dye mixture penetrates the hairs faster and easier, which allows you to get a richer shade.

Curly strands are also prone to dryness and breakage. Such hair does not tolerate the effects of chemical compounds. It is best to have your hair dyed by an experienced hairdresser to keep your hair healthy and get the color you want. When self-staining, you need to take into account the recommendations of specialists.

• When choosing a coloring agent, it is better to give preference to a composition without ammonia. This component negatively affects curly curls, so after dyeing the hair will become dry and lifeless.
• It is recommended to shorten the time for dyeing the strands. Otherwise, the shade will turn out too bright, and the hair structure will be damaged. The rule also applies to lightening curls.
• Do not carry out the dyeing procedure immediately after a perm. Hair takes time to heal. This may take about a month.
• If the curls were painted with natural compounds, for example, henna, then re-painting with chemical mixtures can be carried out no earlier than after 3 weeks.Otherwise, the result after staining may be completely unexpected.

For curly hair, you can use both a simple one-color dyeing and fashionable dyeing in several colors. It is important that the selected shade is correctly selected, taking into account the peculiarities of the appearance and curls. When choosing a paint, you can follow the advice of experienced hairdressers.

• Dark curls lend themselves to lightening, but the structure of the hair deteriorates. It is best to use chestnut and chocolate tones for dark strands.
• Blonde curly hair can be ennobled by partial coloring of the strands in golden shades.

You can choose the shade, starting from the color type. Color type is a combination of skin tone, eye color and natural hair tone. The "summer" color type includes girls with fair skin, blue or green eyes and light blond curls. For this type, cool shades of white or brown are best.

The type "winter" includes girls with very light or dark skin and dark hair. At the same time, the eyes can be green, brown or blue. For this color type, warm brown shades or bluish black are suitable. All types of blond, with the exception of platinum shades, would be an unsuitable option.

The spring color type includes girls with light green or gray eyes, fair skin and hair of warm shades.... They are not recommended to paint in dark colors. It is best to use light, warm colors.

Girls - "autumn" are characterized by dark or light skin with freckles, brown or green eyes and red hair. For this type, colors that have a blue or ash tint are not suitable. The best options are golden or dark chestnut shades.

When choosing a paint, it is necessary to study the composition of the product. For curly strands, it is best to use mixtures without ammonia. You can buy professional paint in specialized stores for hairdressers or directly in beauty salons.

Before buying, it is recommended that you familiarize yourself with the new products for staining and study the reviews. It is also worth remembering that with some professional paint products, oxide is not included in the kit, but is purchased separately. There are several types of emulsion, depending on the content of hydrogen peroxide in its composition. The choice of oxide depends on the effect that you want to get when staining:

• oxygen from 1.5 to 2% is suitable for light toning;
• 3% - suitable for painting in the same shade or 1 tone darker;
• 6% - used for lightening a couple of tones or for better painting over gray curls;
• 9% - used for lightening by 3 tones;
• 12% - used only with certain colorants to lighten up to 4 tones.

When choosing the type of dyeing, it is important to take into account not only the structure of the hair, but also their length.

Ombre is a transition of tones from the roots of a natural color to the ends of the hair that are lightened by several shades. This coloring looks more impressive on long curly curls. At the same time, the transition can be either smoothed and smooth, or quite clear.

Ombre is suitable for coloring strands in warm colors. This technique is good in that the coloring is not done along the entire length, which allows you to keep healthy hair at the roots. It is best to entrust the dyeing of your hair with the ombre method to a professional, especially if the curls are rather short.

Staining in the gradient technique involves a transition from very dark roots to light tips.As a result, the ends will differ from the roots by 6 or more shades. Usually the transition is carried out from the middle of the strands. This type of coloring is suitable for medium to long hair.

Curls painted using this technique do not need to be tinted often. As the roots grow back, the gradient effect will not deteriorate. Using this dyeing technology will not work in two cases: too short or light curls.

Highlighting is one of the most popular staining techniques. First of all, this is due to the versatility of the method, since it is suitable for hair of any length... Highlighting consists in dyeing individual strands. Curls can be lightened or tinted in different shades after lightening.

Balayazh is considered one of the types of highlighting. This technique consists of partially lightening rather thick strands. When dyeing, curls must be wrapped in foil so as not to affect unpainted hair.

Thus, the desired pattern is created on the head, which in the end should look like the effect of hair burnt out in the sun.

Bronding consists in dyeing curls in dark and light colors of the same palette. It is desirable that the natural hair color be light brown or brown. This technique visually adds volume to the hairstyle.

The best way to make a booking is done in a salon with a professional hairdresser. It is quite difficult to carry out such staining on your own, since it is important not only to choose the right shades, but also to paint over the curls evenly.

Since wavy curls are more sensitive to the effects of dyeing compositions than straight strands, they require especially careful care after dyeing. Even professional gentle formulations can worsen the condition of the hair. After staining, it is best to use special shampoo and conditioner balm, which include keratin.

It is not recommended to dry your hair after washing with a hair dryer - it is best if the strands dry naturally. Exposure to hot air will only aggravate the condition of the curls. It is recommended to use sprays to facilitate brushing to minimize the risk of hair damage.

After dyeing, curls need additional moisture and nutrition. For this purpose, you need to use special masks. Both shop formulations and products made according to folk recipes at home are suitable.
