In addition, older ladies can perfectly disguise gray hair with the help of highlighting.

French
The essence of this technique is as follows: there is a "whitening" of individual curls, which creates the effect of hair burnt out in the sultry sun. French highlighting is referred to as gentle coloring, since with it the masters give preference to dyes that do not contain ammonia. Thus, the hair is not exposed to chemical attack. The hair looks voluminous and well-groomed. The main "highlight" of this technique is that one color smoothly "passes" into another.

Features of the procedure
The dyeing technique depends on the length of the hair and the highlighting option. The update of the image of enchantresses with light brown hair is performed in several ways.
- Hat with holes. They put it on the client's head, and the master gently pulls out the strands for dyeing with a fine comb or crochet. This technique is quite simple to perform and is ideal for lightening curls from roots to ends.
- Foil (or thermal paper). The hairdresser dyes the curl and isolates it from the rest of the hair with small pieces of foil. Thus, the master has the opportunity to work with several shades at once.
- Public method. It is used by experienced professionals who paint a single strand, and remove the remaining paint with a special brush. This method is quite easy to perform if the master has some experience.

The staining process includes the following steps:
- we comb our hair, cover our shoulders with a towel and put on a special hat, and crochet the strands (up to the whole head);
- prepare a clarifier in a plastic container and put on gloves;
- we apply paint to the elongated strands with a brush;
- we stand for 30-40 minutes and carefully remove the cap;
- wash your head with shampoo and apply a balm or nourishing mask;
- to eliminate unwanted "yellowness" we apply a toning balm or a special shampoo (silver or violet) to the highlighted hair.
Important! The rest of the methods of highlighting are rather complicated, therefore they require the "hands" of a professional.
