Features of dyeing hair using the shimmer technique

Every year there are new trends and different types of improvement in their appearance. This year was no exception. The experts of L "Oréal Professionnel were able to surprise everyone with an innovative painting style - a shimmering shimmer. In fact, he has long been known among makeup artists, but until that time he had never been transferred from his face to his hair.

It should be noted right away that the effect of glowing hair can be achieved with the help of special sprays, but such a painting will last for several hours. Shimmer is a technique that gives an unusual shimmer and shine due to the fact that at different angles of incidence of light, the shade of the hair changes slightly. This became especially popular after the Space and Future clothing styles came into fashion. The so-called radiance effect is achieved with the help of special paints, which include laminating agents and keratin compounds.

Thanks to keratin, shimmery coloring becomes not only beautiful, but also useful. After it, the hair remains soft and looks healthy and voluminous.

The most popular manufacturer of this type of product is LOréal, so it is better to choose this paint from this company. We advise you to purchase Shimmer Color Addict from the Majirel series. It consists of 12% of the base and 88% of the pigment itself. It includes elements that reflect light rays, it also contains laminating substances and various kinds of lipids.

The series has several shades. This is very convenient, since when painting, you can safely combine colors, thereby creating a rather unusual hairstyle.

Also recently, L "Oréal Professionnel has developed a new collection of similar paints - Féria, Dia Richesse and Dia Light. But their cost exceeds, though not too much, the price of the previous one.

Unlike balayazh, shatush and ombre, this effect can be reproduced on different hairs, and it does not depend on their color or length. Shimmer is perfect for brunettes, brown-haired women, red-haired, blondes, this coloring can transform the hairstyle in an unusual way. Such coloring will beneficially increase the volume, regardless of the natural properties of your hair. Shimmer technology is suitable for all haircuts, even the shortest. Long, iridescent curls will look great too.

In general, there are only 18 colors with pearlescent and reflective components. But even this amount is enough for a wave to create your own unique image. A different combination of these shades helps to create new ones.

Focus on your skin tone. If it is cold (pale, porcelain), then the paint must be selected in cold shades. If it is warm (dark), the color should be warm.

Before choosing a shade, carefully study how it looks on hair like yours. Buy several paint options at once.

For girls with dark hair, a variety of shades are available that match the natural tone. They are available in such colors as dark silver, chocolate, pink, purple, blue, gold.

Silver is perfect for brunettes. It will add some coldness and gloss to your hair. Chocolate also looks advantageous on dark and warm hair. "Chocolate" curls become richer and fresher. This color will add a bright golden sheen in sunlight.

Pink, purple, blue, gold and lavender will certainly suit dark brown-haired women, adding extravagance, luxury and attractiveness to their image. Such shades will present the owner of the hairstyle in the most favorable light.

Brown hair, unfortunately, does not have brightness or the presence of a specific shade, but the shimmer corrects these shortcomings. Usually the color is selected depending on the natural tone and its saturation. The creation of a glossy shine is done by mixing 3-4 types of paint. This technique allows the radiance effect to be as close to the base tone as possible. This is very important, as unnatural colors will look bad, making the hairstyle look like a fake wig.

Girls with this hair color are very lucky because the L »Oreal Professionel line has a whole palette for red shades. Shimmering paint makes the color even more intense, just fiery, enhancing it with a golden sheen. You can keep the natural tone just by adding sheer gloss, or add intensity and metallic reflections.

Shimmer on hair with a red tint looks great with dark and light colors. With light shine, it becomes more restrained and matte. And dark ones enhance glare and flicker, giving unusual play under the rays of the sun. Also, these two compositions can be easily mixed in different proportions to obtain colors that suit your needs.

As for blondes, cold tones are perfect here.Thanks to the shimmer technique, the hair acquires a pearlescent hue, becoming more voluminous due to the play of light on it. But there is one small drawback - the coloring pigment on blond curls is washed off much faster than on dark ones. Although this will not be very noticeable, as the paint fades away gradually.

There are several classic shimmery colors and shades that can be applied to white hair: silver, purple, gold.

Silver has a metallic feel and will appeal to ladies who love muted tones with a touch of gray. The lilac color can diversify the image well, making it brighter and more interesting.

This type of staining does not need any special care, just follow a few recommendations.

• Immediately after the procedure, rinse your head with shampoo and rinse with a regenerating balm with conditioner.
• In order for the effect to last for a longer period, it is enough to apply a special nourishing mask 1-2 times a month.
• It is not recommended to blow-dry colored hair, as this can lead to hair loss and breakage. Dry your head only with a towel or just in the air.
