Color for short hair: tips for choosing shades and types of dyeing
A short haircut for a woman is always a small challenge, and above all, for herself. There are many variations of short haircuts, but some look simple, sometimes visually add extra years and deprive them of individuality. Others cause admiring glances and become the hallmark of a woman. If you come to a hairdresser to get a haircut that you have worn for many years, it is time to reconsider the fidelity to the image. Perhaps a more relevant option has already been waiting for you. It is the same with hair color: new technologies, shades are worth trying.
Fashion tones
Vibrant colors and conspicuous color mixing are a thing of the past. Today stylists recommend monochromatic staining or staining with an imitation of a natural color transition. Even when we do not dye our hair, they are not the same in terms of color: closer to the back of the head, the hair can be darker, and on the face it is usually the lightest.
If you have a short haircut, and you are bored with changing shades of chestnut and want unconditional brightness, try color tint compositions. For a short time, your hair may turn pink, crimson, turquoise, yellow. Of course, this is not an option for everyone, but the most daring ones can unexpectedly transform and provide themselves with a bright period of life. 2019 has trending colors.
- Blond and its most daring shades. Bold means expressive powdery, delicate peach and milky pink can be the new shade of your blonde. And for this it is not necessary to be a sixteen-year-old client of the salon, a woman of any age can afford a complementary unusual color. If she, of course, is friends with fashion.
- Chocolate and its shades. Ombre and sombre techniques cannot do without this color. Soft and very bright, rich and diluted, close to natural - chocolate does not leave leadership positions.
- Metallic shades. This is not the first season in fashion, but they have not yet quit the game. Despite the fact that many are afraid with such a paint to become an example of a prematurely gray woman, metallic shades refresh the image.
- Charcoal black. Technologists are developing all the new shades that give color depth and velvety. If you want a classic look that doesn't feel old-fashioned, dye it in black. Don't forget about a new color for eyelashes and eyebrows.
- Blue-black is back in fashion. Remember Madonna's cult video "Rain". Her ultra-short haircut, jet-black hair, beautiful eyebrows and blue eyes have become a model for many women. And today they return to this color, and to the haircut too. By the way, Madonna is always in fashion, try to try on one of her images.
- Honey, copper. Natural shades of red do not leave the leading positions either. Deep, close to natural colors are chosen by girls with light eyes, freckled skin and a desire to make their image bright, but at the same time organic.
It cannot be said that the fashion 2019 rejects some colors. But one rule is ironclad: refuse what you have become attached to. Not ready to change color - change the shade. If you want a change, start with your hairstyle.
Staining techniques
Stylists have long denied the claim that short hair is not a field for experimentation. The most fashionable dyeing techniques are not bypassed by the pixie, and the garcon, and the bob, and other options for haircuts. Each case assumes its own optimal solution, the master will evaluate the length of the hairstyle, its possibilities, features of the appearance (oval of the face, expressiveness of features, color type) and will offer the most advantageous option.
- Ombre. Even if you have a pixie, the pros will stretch the color to that length too. The ombre version with the transition from ash blond (dark) to shining platinum at the ends remains relevant. Variations with natural colors are the most demanded: sand, straw, dark blond colors in the top. Coffee and light woody have become the most popular this year.
- Shatush. This is a smooth transition of tones that creates a sun glare effect. On short hair, it will be expressive if the length of the strands allows you to achieve a highlight. With a bob haircut - for sure it will work, with a pixie - maybe.
- Balayazh. The tips can be made 2 or even 3 tones lighter than the main hair color. This is necessary for the hairstyle to be as natural as possible. Chocolate and copper tones are suitable for brunettes: this option is refreshing in combination with a short haircut.
- Highlighting. Still in demand, even for short haircuts. Partial lightening of strands with an emphasis on areas around the face is in fashion. Sharp contrast with the background is prohibited. If your main color is bitter chocolate, then it will be accompanied by milk, and with light brown - sand or light blond.
- Booking. Coloring is already losing its relevance, shades of the same color (several shades at once) can harmoniously merge in one hairstyle. No abrupt transitions, only soft and smooth solutions. On a haircut, the bob looks interesting, with a pixie it will be more difficult, but also possible.

- If you have light skin with little pigmentation, light eyes and eyebrows and a beautiful face shape, then honey, titian, copper and other color variations can create a very harmonious bright image.
