Features of double highlighting

Many girls and women have thought more than once about how to radically change the appearance of their hair. Often, such changes make women look younger and more beautiful. Double highlighting can be an excellent option for such changes.

Highlighting itself involves dyeing some part of the hair. However, the double is more painless for the hair, and the result looks much better.

The main feature of double highlighting is that the hair undergoes less stress compared to the classic version. That is, this procedure causes much less damage to the hair than the classical one.

The difference is also that strands of different sizes are partially lightened. You can dye not only from the roots themselves, but also from the rest of the hair length.

With this procedure, you can hide gray hair in a short time, as well as refresh your hair. Staining is quick and easy.

As for age, there are no restrictions here. For older women, double highlighting will help to rejuvenate a little, and for younger women it is a great way to change their appearance and emphasize their beauty.

As for the technique of execution, during the implementation of the classical procedure, the strands are dyed completely - along the entire length and thickness. Because of this, such hair does not look very natural.

The prices for both procedures do not have any special differences. It all depends on the length of the hair to be dyed. Based on these data, the master calculates the required amount of paint, and, accordingly, the price itself. It follows that dyeing long and thick curls will be somewhat more expensive than short ones.

The average price of double highlighting for short hair is 1,000 rubles. The price for painting long ones varies from 2 to 5 thousand rubles.

Despite the extraordinary ease and speed of this staining, it is not suitable for everyone. The main contraindications are:

• hair is too dark;
• painted with henna;
• strands straightened with keratin;
• perm;
• the procedure is contraindicated for pregnant and lactating women.

Consider the features of the performance of double highlighting based on which hair it is applied to.

When implementing this method of painting, one should take into account not only the above contraindications, but also various hair colors, as well as their structure.

Light brown curls very often have a fine structure, which is very good, because double highlighting is intended specifically for such hair. This technique will make them more shiny and, if possible, hide the overgrown roots.

It is on light brown curls that such highlighting looks best, the main thing is to choose suitable shades.

The most difficult thing is to cope with dark hair, since right before the highlighting itself, clarification will be required, which is very harmful. Owners of this color are recommended to contact only professionals who are able to carry out the correct bleaching, and then the highlighting itself.

Curls of light shades are the best option for this procedure. Due to the fact that bleaching is not needed here, practically no harm will be done to the hair. By choosing the right and appropriate colors, you can create a voluminous hairstyle with a healthy shine.

It is much easier to dye short hair - you can do it at home too. But with longer strands, the situation is somewhat more complicated, and you cannot do without the help of a professional.

Highlighting on long hair is performed using two contrasting colors, that is, strands are selected for dyeing in white and dark colors.

The procedure is notable for its easy execution and further care, so many people carry it out at home.

Double highlighting is divided into five main stages.

1. The first part is the separation of the strands. Their number should be at least four and not more than eight. They are fastened with hairpins, but so that at the right moment they can be easily reached.
2. Further, according to the instructions, all the ingredients from the set are mixed. You can start painting from absolutely anywhere, carefully pulling out the strand.
3. Once the strand has been completely colored, it must be wrapped in foil, carefully closing it. It is very important that the material does not reveal itself.
4. Staining can be carried out at least near the roots, at least at the tips.
5. The last step is to hold the dye on the hair for the required time, as a rule, it is indicated in the instructions. Usually it does not exceed 50 minutes. However, there will be different times for different colors, because blonde hair dyes much faster than dark hair. It is easy to monitor the degree of staining - just open the foil a little and look at the result.

Despite the fact that this procedure is not particularly difficult in itself, one should not forget about the basic rules of care. The first step is to purchase a specialized shampoo and balm, which can be found in pharmacies or cosmetic stores.

And you can also take care of hair masks. They are able to strengthen hair and make it even smoother and shinier. It is recommended to give preference to masks made from natural products.

The ends of the hair require special attention, because they, as a rule, suffer the most. They will also need special masks or herbal decoctions.

Double highlighting is much easier than it might seem at first glance. The main thing is to take into account all possible features and contraindications, as well as to choose suitable shades. If done correctly, the hairstyle will look truly stunning, and its owner will be fresh and transformed.
