Creating stylish and fashionable looks requires a special approach. Red tips look impressive, but they need to be cared for properly. We will consider the features of painting, care, as well as options for shades in this article.

Ombre dyeing technology involves toning the ends of the hair with a bright color. Girls with any length and density of strands can diversify their image in this way. Red hair ends attract attention, so you should prepare for this in advance. Staining can be done by a professional, however, the procedure is carried out at home without any problems.

First, it is worth assessing the quality of the hair, structure, density and length. For girls with very short hairstyles, this coloring will not work. Red ends look especially impressive on thick hair.

If the length is below the shoulders, then the staining will look different depending on the styling.

The easiest way is to make an ombre for blondes and girls with light brown shades. But brunettes should think before such a decision. We'll have to pre-lighten the tips, and this is quite harmful for the structure of the curls.

Red is a very diverse color, it has a wide palette of shades. You can do an ombre in brown or bright red. When choosing, first of all, you should focus on hair color. Consider interesting options and their combinations.

Do not use red tips on red hair. The color itself looks quite catchy and attractive, it is. Much depends on the shade of red, but in most cases, such staining leads to disappointment. The thing is that ginger and red belong to the same color palette.

Carefully select the shade for white hair. It is worth paying attention to the crimson, pink tones. Light strands still harmonize well with dark ends. True, in this case, the color should diverge smoothly, without a clear transition line.

Before staining, a small preparatory procedure should be carried out. The tips need to be lightened to make the red pigment look beautiful and rich.... It is recommended to start using a nourishing mask two weeks before the expected procedure.

The coloring will look better and more accurate if you pre-trim or just refresh the ends. Otherwise, the tips after the procedure will become even more dry and brittle. If thinning is used, then you need to be especially careful. The color will be uniform only if the tips are as uniform as possible.

For women with dark hair, lightening is imperative. Fair-haired ladies can refuse such an undertaking. If a brunette applies red pigment to her native color, then it will lie unevenly and turn out to be very dull. Clarification is carried out as follows.

1. Comb your hair well with a comb.
2. Divide into strands and tie low ponytails. It is important that all rubber bands are flush.
3. Prepare a mixture for clarification.
4. Smear the ends of the hair well to the desired level.

It also happens that one procedure is not enough, it has to be repeated. It is worth noting that the hair after lightening can take on an unexpected shade, even blue or green.

After lightening, it is not recommended to immediately paint the tips red. Better to wait about 2 weeks. During this period, the hair should be saturated with oils or masks as much as possible. This is important, because lightening and coloring will greatly exhaust the strands.

Bleached hair does not accept pigment well. At first, the tips will have to be dyed quite often so that the color is even and stable. If there was no clarification, then the procedure will go well the first time. Now let's look at the process of dyeing the tips at home.

• Carefully comb all the curls with a wood comb.
• It is important to decide to what level the staining will be done.
• Divide hair into 6-8 parts, depending on the thickness. In some cases, it is recommended to make even more strands.
• Tie each part with an elastic band in the place to which staining will be done. Everything should be on the same level, this is very important.
• In a plastic container, mix the desired dyes and oxidizing agent. If several pigments are mixed, then it is worth carefully selecting and mixing them.
• Spread the paint over the strands from bottom to top. The brush should move smoothly. Cover the hair completely with dye up to the elastic bands so that there are no dry areas.
• Wait the required amount of time. Do not cover your hair with cellophane.
• Rinse the ends gently with warm running water. Pat dry with a towel. If the hair is light, then it is important that the colored water does not get onto the rest of the strands.

Colored hair always requires increased attention. It is especially important to observe proper care if the strands have been lightened. With poor care, hair will quickly become dull and lifeless.
