Hair coloring in blond: types and technology of execution
It's no secret that blondes are very attractive and cute creatures. All over the world, fair-haired women always attract special attention. They are considered both fragile and feminine at the same time. In addition, a light shade of hair allows you to look younger than your age. However, not everyone can be born as fair-haired beauties, as a result of which ladies often resort to dyeing their hair and lightening it. Next, we will find out what dyeing technologies are used in this case, as well as what features they have.
Peculiarities
It is believed that true gentlemen prefer blondes. Perhaps, to some extent, this offends dark-haired ladies, who often rush to lighten their hair. What this is connected with remains a mystery for many. Ladies tint their curls, highlight with white, make light shatush, ombre and much more, which allows you to make your hair light and noticeable.
- Dyeing your hair blond is not easy. It is best to contact professional stylists for this, who will help you find the desired light shade without a hint of yellowness. Dyeing in a blonde at home has long gone out of fashion, because in the absence of appropriate skills, instead of luxurious hair, you can get just a "washcloth" of spoiled curls.
- Very often, for clarification, you have to go through several stages of staining. Especially if a girl with dark hair wants to go out in a light shade.
- Modern blonde dyeing is performed exclusively by professional hair cosmetics lines.Conventional dyes and clarifiers sold in supermarkets, even with a strong desire, cannot give the desired high-quality effect, no matter how much they are advertised.
- Being a beautiful blonde with perfect hair is expensive. And this is a fact. Blonde hair requires special care, regular visits to a stylist-colorist and, of course, home restoration programs. As a result, all of the above comes out in a very round sum. But if you remove at least one of the points, then you simply won't be able to be a blonde. For example, you cannot refuse toning curls, since the pigment is washed out of the hair, and they become dull, and sometimes even turn yellow. If you give up home care and good shampoos, then regular lightening will hurt your hair, split and look messy.
- The ideal blond color is not at all its monochromatic version, but a multifaceted version of several shades that play favorably with each other in the light. All monochrome options for dyeing white will not make you a snow queen at all, but rather, on the contrary, a lady with boring and flat hair.
Coloring options
Today, it is not necessary to do full hair coloring in a light color, that is, from roots to ends. Firstly, this option does not have a very good effect on the hair, and secondly, you should immediately understand that regular tinting of the roots every 2 weeks is ensured. This is a waste of time and money.
Although this technique of dyeing has not gone out of fashion, such fashionable dyeing techniques as shatush, ombre and balayazh are considered to be more in demand today.
Shatush blond
Provides partial lightening of hair - from the ends to about the middle of the head, depending on the length of the hair and personal wishes. Suitable for both short haircuts and medium to very long hair. This dyeing technology is quite expensive, but it has a lot of positive sides, the main one of which is to create a smooth transition from one light shade to another with a stretch of color.
Shatush is considered very popular among many stars of model and show business. It is most often recommended for those ladies who have light blond hair, but at the same time they do not want to do full dyeing and constantly struggle with dark roots.
Ombre
An equally popular and fashionable technology for dyeing blond hair is ombre. In the past few years, ombre has not at all slowed down its popularity, it is chosen by both famous foreign celebrities and domestic secular fashionistas.
The main distinguishing feature of ombre from shatusha is a more pronounced border between several light shades.
Balayazh
Balayazh is considered even closer to the shatush. With it, the strands dyed in blond are arranged as if chaotically, creating the effect that the hair itself has burnt out in the sun.
Very often women of fashion confuse the 3 types of coloring described above. However, their main difference is considered to be the use of different paint application techniques, as well as related coloring agents, including tinting. Darkening of the root zone can be done with any of the types of staining techniques. But highlighting on blonde hair is gradually going out of fashion, it is being replaced by more modern coloring options, which are brought to life using the most modern technologies.
As for the fashion trends of the current year, last year's "strawberry" blond along the entire length of the hair, as well as pink ombre on the hair, have passed into it. At the peak of popularity is the toning of curls in turquoise, blue, violet and lilac shades. The tone is done either along the entire length of the hair in a shade of ash blond, or partially.
Choice of shade
It is believed that the correct choice of shade of the future hair color is 80% of the success of its owner.To date, manufacturers offer a variety of blonde shades, among which it will not be difficult to choose your own.

- golden;

- beige;
- milk chocolate and some others.
Cold
Cold shades of blond include:
- ashen;
- platinum;

Mixture manufacturers can have very similar shades, but with different names. When choosing a suitable shade, it is best to look for it on a special palette layout, which can be viewed in beauty salons and specialized stores.
The shade should be selected based on personal preference and skin color. Too pale girls do not want very cold shades in their pure form. It is best to use either a combination with a warm or just a warm shade. Swarthy ladies are perfectly suited for gold and wheat colors, as well as options for coloring like ombre, where several shades are combined in a smooth stretch of color.
In addition, when choosing a blond shade, it is recommended to take into account the color of not only the skin, but also the eyes.
- To blue, gray and green eyes ash, platinum, pearl, pearl and strawberry tones are great. These colors will look especially advantageous if the lady has fair skin.
- But for ladies with a warm skin color, with green or gray eyes, a wheat shade is perfect, as well as platinum, golden and natural blond.
- Swarthy and dark-skinned ladies with green, brown or amber eyes it is best to give preference to gold or pearlescent tones. They can also look at balayage or ombre for blonde hair.
It is not recommended to choose overly light shades for ladies with split and problem hair. The same applies to the oxidizing agent. If your hair has already been dyed more than once or injured from constant exposure to a straightener and a hair dryer, it is best to choose a low-percentage oxidizer for them. But for healthy hair, dyes with an oxidizer up to 12 percent are quite suitable. In any case, the master who will do the staining should select it.
How to paint correctly?
Dyeing your hair at home, especially in a light color, is a rather risky activity, which can often lead to sad consequences. However, if you have at least some practical skills in hair coloring, it is quite possible to experiment at home.
Before dyeing, you need to choose a hair dye. It can be ordinary paint in a box, which is diluted according to the instructions, or a professional version. Before using the paint, an allergy test must be carried out several hours or a day before. If all is well, then you can start staining.
Consider a step-by-step option for complete lightening of light brown hair at home.
- Self-staining is best done next to a mirror. First, you should wear protective gloves - as a rule, they are attached to the package with paint, and then dilute the paint according to the instructions.
- Shoulders, neck and back should be covered with either an old towel or protective cape to prevent dyed hair from staining clothes and body.
- For more convenient full coloring, the hair can be divided into several parts or zones. It is best to start coloring from the back of the head and work with a special brush. She can conveniently and economically apply the mixture to the curls. Starting from the very roots to the ends, with gentle movements, paint should be applied on both sides, alternately separating new strands. The entire head should be painted in the same way.
- Dyed hair, depending on its length, can be pinned up and wait for the time allotted for dyeing. It needs to be clarified in the instructions for the paint.If the hair is not very dark, and there is ammonia in the paint, then the average holding time is 25-30 minutes.
- Over time, the hair should be thoroughly rinsed from the dye, waiting for clear water, and then wash your hair with shampoo for colored or bleached hair and balm. Hair does not need to be blow-dried the first time. It is quite enough to dry them well with a towel and let them dry on their own.
If the hair is very long, then the dye should be distributed over the hair as quickly as possible so that the color is uniform. Short, medium and long hair can be diversified with one of the modern lightening methods.
Consider a brief instruction on how you can paint the shatush at home.
- First, it is very important to comb your hair and divide it into several zones. To keep the curls out of the way, they can be stabbed with clips. Then you need to dilute the paint of the selected tone, put on gloves and cover your shoulders with a protective cloth.
- Coloring should start from the back of the head. It is necessary to select a small strand from each zone using a thin hair comb, painting it in the form of a tick and not reaching the roots. The same should be repeated with all the other zones and strands on the head. Foil for separation, as in highlighting, is optional.
- If there is a desire to make an even smoother transition, then before dyeing, you can lightly comb the hair at the roots, however, when performing shatush, this stage is exclusively advisory in nature.
- After a certain time - and usually it takes no more than 15-20 minutes for shatush, the hair should be rinsed with water and shampoo, and also apply a balm or conditioner to it. Then dry with a towel and hair dryer.
