There are a large number of staining techniques, literally for every taste.The type of dyeing and color is chosen depending on the natural shade of the hair, the shape of the haircut, the color of the skin and eyes.

This is a partial coloring that is applied directly around the face, on the bangs and the top of the strands closer to the roots. It looks beneficial because it adds volume to the hair. Now this option is considered the most fashionable.

The easiest way to highlight. Strands are dyed in one color along the entire length of the hair. The strand itself can be of any length and thickness. It all depends on what result the mistress of the hair wants to get.

Safe type of staining. The hair roots are not touched in the process, respectively, without damaging the hair growth structure. If the curls are lightened, then a maximum of two tones, no more. In the process of work, the master does not use film and foil, mixing colors, which also does not harm the hairstyle.

The opposite is true. The strands are tinted in dark, natural colors, darkening them. This type of highlighting is considered even safer since there is no lightening. You can always correct the unsuccessful color on light strands or return them to their natural dark shade.

In another way, this highlighting is called "Shatush". It is usually applied to hair that is long enough, as it requires a smooth transition from darker roots to very light ends.

Hairdressers advise not to use persistent dyes, but to use tonics and balms. Although they will not last long, they will not have such a detrimental effect.

Hair care after dyeing.

• Apply a conditioner and conditioner immediately after staining. In the salon, such a procedure is required, at home it all comes with a clarifier in the kit. This will help prevent moisture loss in your hair.

This mixture will help moisturize the strands. You need to take peeled grapefruit, kiwi and a tablespoon of honey. The fruits are chopped with a blender and a spoonful of honey is added to the mixture. The mask is applied to the head and kept for 15 minutes, then washed off with warm water.

What to do if hair begins to fall out after dyeing:

• hand massage of the head, preferably before bedtime, to enhance and improve blood supply;
• the use of combs made of natural material (wood);
• proper nutrition;

The options that hairdressing salons have to offer other than healing masks.

A protective film will be created on the hair with the help of special means, which covers each strand. After that, the hair is easy to comb, shines beautifully, becomes smooth and does not require the use of masks.
