Highlighting on short blond hair: varieties and subtleties of the process

To create a beautiful and harmonious look with short blond hair, modern girls actively use various methods of dyeing. With the help of special techniques, it is possible to create bold, romantic, business images.

But given the fact that persistent paints fade over time, and hair roots grow back, it becomes necessary to constantly update the color scheme. This procedure damages the hair structure. Therefore, most beauties strive to perform staining in a gentle way.

An excellent option for this procedure is highlighting. It differs not only in comparative safety for the hair structure, but also in its versatility. This coloring has a large number of types that allow you to create a suitable hairstyle on short hair for any type of appearance.

Highlighting is a specific method of hair dyeing, in which only a small number of strands change color. This technique allows girls to change the appearance of a short haircut in a short period of time. If we talk about the fashion trends of the season, then you need to take into account that the highly lightened strands have lost their relevance. Now Two other types of coloring are considered trendy, one of which promotes the maximum naturalness of the onion, and the second - the unnatural brightness of the colors.

Natural techniques for dyeing short hair include gentle methods. Namely:

• balayazh;
• shatush;
• Californian staining.

These types cause minimal harm to hair due to the absence of aggressive lightening components.

Balayazh is a fashionable technique for lightening strands, in which the tone is superimposed in a deliberately chaotic manner on the curlscreating a slight negligence. Coloring can be done for any tone of light brown hair - both dark and light. It should be noted that applying paint in random order allows you to update the color less often than with other techniques.

Shatush is distinguished by a smooth transition from dark roots to light ends... This coloring not only looks natural, but also helps to hide gray hair, provided that it is not more than 30% of the total volume. In addition, this technique is suitable for correcting unsuccessful highlights. As in the previous version, the regrown hair roots do not require constant tinting.

California staining performed by an even (horizontally) alternation of light shades. Typically, it requires at least five light colors to create the most natural transition from dark hair at the crown to light ends. As if the hair was burnt out on a hot California beach.

The tones are selected by the master depending on the original (natural) color of the strands, so the Californian coloring is suitable for almost all girls. But this option is enough difficult to execute, therefore, you need to choose an experienced specialist for it.

If you need to create a bright, daring image, then it is better to use coloring. This coloring on light brown hair is great for short vamp haircuts. So, hair can be dyed not only in natural bright red or red shades, but also to add strands of pink, blue and purple colors.

In order to choose the right type of coloring for short blond hair, you need to pay attention to several criteria for appearance. In particular, it is worth considering:

• hair structure;
• haircut length;
• color type of appearance;
• face shape.

The structure of the hair can be thin (weakened) and thick (heavy)... In the first case, it is recommended to choose the type of coloring that affects only the ends of the hair (from about the middle of the length). This will keep you alive as much as possible. In the second option, classic highlighting is suitable, which will help create additional volume.

As for the length of the hair, some girls, after performing a short haircut, may regret the short length. Another type of staining will help to visually lengthen the strands - ombre... It is performed with a rather abrupt transition from a dark shade at the roots to a light shade at the tips.

Important and individual color type of appearance, to which you need to select the staining method. So, owners of fair skin and the same eyes you need to pay attention to honey and caramel tones. Walnut and ash colors will look good. Dark and warm golden tones, on the other hand, will not work with pale skin. In the first case, they will make the face painful, in the second, they will merge with the skin.

If the skin of the face can be called thin, with a slight pink tint, then all tones of wheat will be an excellent color scheme. They will not only harmonize with the skin, but also emphasize the expressiveness of the eyes.

To combine peach skin and eyes with greens you can use bright enough shades - from red to fiery red. Cold tones, on the other hand, will look unnatural. But they will suit girls with porcelain and olive skin... A short haircut will look great with highlights in a darker shade such as ash.

But not all women of fashion have the same type of appearance. Most often, there is a mixed version, which involves blonde hair and dark eyes. For such ladies, coloring is suitable two-tone (two shades). In this case, highlighting is performed in two similar tones, which are strikingly different from the color of natural hair.

As for the shape of the face, only oval... Any kind of highlighting is suitable for it. A feature of this form is the ability to emphasize its dignity with the help of strands to match the iris of the eye.

Chubby ladywho want to correct the shape of the face, visually stretch it, coloring with vertical strands is suitable. For the same reason, you can ask the master to make the hair darker in the ears and lighter in the upper part of the face.

For face triangular the best solution is a slight color change, when shades of dark colors are placed at forehead level, and the ends are highlighted with light toning. Also in coloring it is recommended to avoid clear geometric lines, which can further reduce the chin and highlight the forehead.

Square shape faces can also be brought closer to the classic with highlights. To do this, the strands that frame the face must be highlighted in dark shades.

There are several basic options for highlighting short blond hair. These include painting:

• by hand;
• with foil;
• in a hat;
• with a comb;
• with elastic bands;
• with a stripper.

Experienced craftsmen often carry out staining without additional accessories. In this case, the composition is applied quickly, with gloved hands or with a brush on the separated strands. This saves time and is suitable for brittle, weak hair where prolonged exposure to the dye is undesirable.

Foil use can be called a classic version of this color. Before starting work, the hair is divided into strands and fixed. Then paint is applied to them from the root along the entire length and wrapped in foil. This prevents the dye from reaching the remaining hair.

Dyeing method using a cap can be performed by almost any hairdresser without experience. To do this, you just need to put on a special hat with holes through which the strands are threaded. Paint is applied to them and kept for the required period of time.

Striper - this is a special comb for highlighting, which allows you to divide the hair into strands that are equally distant from each other. With its help, dyeing hair is as easy as in the previous method. To perform the procedure, you need to attach the stripper to the head with the teeth up, lay strands on it and apply paint. Excess mixture is removed with this comb.

For coloring with a regular comb, you need to carefully choose its shape. Recommended to apply a tool with sparse teeth. Paint is applied to it and the curls, which are planned to be lightened, are combed along the entire length. This option is suitable for short, dark blonde hair.

The most gentle method is staining using rubber bands, since in this case only the ends are painted. To do this, the hair is divided into three parts and tied from each to a ponytail. Then a coloring composition is applied to the tips.

Highlighting is based on careful separation of strands, accurate and accurate coloring of hair from the roots or the middle, as well as on the vividness of color.But young professionals may misbehave in any of these steps. Dull and untidy staining can be caused by:

• violation of proportions when mixing the composition;
• too long exposure of the dye on the hair;
• wrong choice of the step of the strands;
• uneven imposition of the coloring composition;
• sloppy foil wrapping of colored curls;
• an attempt to lighten weakened or dyed hair.

However, most of these shortcomings are fixable.

• So, uneven streaked strands with large irregular indents can be corrected by repeated procedure. In this case, the composition is applied only to those areas of the hair where the color is not enough.
• If only uneven application, then you can dilute the dark areas of the hair with light strands. This will make the haircut more interesting and rejuvenate the face.
• The most common problem after unsuccessful highlighting is considered the appearance of yellowness... This is due to the paint rinsing off too quickly. This flaw can be corrected by applying tint tonics of the blue-violet scale.
• In the case when the hair was dry and too brittle, it is necessary to apply drastic measures.

After highlighting, colored strands can become dry and brittle. To prevent such an effect, you must:

• use only moisturizing shampoo when washing;
• regularly use balm and conditioner;
• do not allow prolonged exposure to the sun on the curls;
• use nourishing and regenerating masks once or several times a week;
• minimize hair drying with a hairdryer;
• use combs made from natural materials, not plastic;
• apply products for additional protection of the ends of the hair.

In addition, when choosing hair care products, you should give preference to those intended for streaked curls.
