Tricolor hair coloring

Coloring with one color has long been out of trend: the richer the palette, the more interesting and original the hairstyle. It is not necessary to take extreme colors that are far from natural tones, although this is now possible. As for the length of the strands, the trendy haircut on short hair can also be dyed in three colors and it will look great.

The three-dimensional effect is created by painting the strands in different tones, but some of the curls remain natural. Thus, the hairstyle seems to come to life, it becomes voluminous due to the play of light and shadow. The obvious advantages of this technique are:

• the haircut looks natural;
• the root zone, as a rule, remains of a natural shade, which excludes regular tinting;
• hair density and splendor do not suffer from staining;
• technology allows you to disguise gray hair;
• no more than half of all hairs are dyed, which doubly reduces their damage, if bleaching is necessary on darker curls, followed by coloring in the desired tone.

Of the minuses, it is worth noting:

• the impossibility of carrying out the procedure after painting along the entire length and perming;
• partial deterioration of the condition of the hair with intermediate bleaching;
• unacceptability of performing the technique with prolonged use of henna as a dye.

Many questions arise about what age is more appropriate for coloring in three colors. The answer will delight women of fashion: in fact, any lady can afford such a pleasure.Of course in adulthood it is advisable to select tones natural, more subdued and not sharply contrasting, but young ladies recommended bright shades, down to the most unusual.

But in all cases, it is worth considering the original color of the hair, skin and eyes, as well as the general condition of the curls. But when it comes to intense staining using a wash and discoloration, procedure not recommended:

• pregnant and lactating mothers;
• for those who suffer from hormonal imbalances:
• for brunettes, especially, burning ones, tricolor highlighting is also not desirable, since strong lightening is needed.

The choice depends on the woman's preferences, but professionals do not recommend lightening hair by more than 4 tones: unfortunately, even gentle dyes damage the structure of natural hair. The technique is intended, rather, to emphasize the natural beauty of the hairstyle, so it is advisable to select shades 1–2 tones lighter or darker than your own hair... In principle, this range can be extended up to 3-4 tones... The salon can offer the following shade options for each hair color:

• blondes - light and dark blond, pale red (2-3 tones darker);
• girls with light brown hair - light and dark chestnut (1–2 tones darker);
• brown-haired women - chocolate, light and dark chestnut, light brown shades;
• red - chestnut, chocolate, light blond tone;
• in the presence of gray hair - shades of black, ash, graphite;
• brunettes - chestnut and chocolate shades.

For blondes, coloring should be done 1-3 tones darker, at the same time, brighter, unexpected tones that stand out from the natural palette are suitable for this category of ladies.

Tricolor dyeing of short haircuts can be done on your own at home. It is more difficult to carry out this procedure on medium hair. If the young lady has long curls, then it makes no sense to suffer: it is better to go to the salon.

The advantage of home painting is primarily cost savings, but on the other side, you may not achieve the desired effect...
