Highlighting combs

Girls very often want to change something in their appearance. Hair coloring helps to update and refresh the image. Many beauties choose highlighting, because this method of coloring allows you to change their appearance. Highlighting combs will help you to carry out the staining procedure yourself, without seeking help from professionals.

This accessory is made of plastic. The comb has wide teeth on one side and a pointed end on the other. This unusual shape allows you to easily select the desired strands of hair with a sharp tip, as well as evenly apply color to the strands using wide teeth. Other models are on sale, but there are no significant differences.

The highlighting comb is a very important tool. This process requires an even application of paint on individual strands, which should be at the same distance from each other, and also be the same width. If you adhere to this rule, then the highlighting process will be performed correctly.

Today there is a wide variety of models that have different names. Comb "fence" is used to highlight the strands. It got its name from its extraordinary shape.

Another type of hairbrush has hooks.These tools have sparse teeth that help to create strands of different widths to achieve the desired result.

The highlighting comb has many advantages, the main of which is that it provides an even distribution of strands. Curls of the same width and thickness remain on the comb due to the presence of a hook or teeth. After separating the strand, you should remove the hair with the other hand, then take the foil and paint the curl with paint.

Affordable price is an indisputable advantage. Combs from well-known brands cost from 50 to 300 rubles, and going to a specialist for highlighting will cost much more.

Many girls know that it is quite difficult to do highlighting on their own, since the paint must be applied evenly. It is difficult to cope with this task alone; it is better to enlist the support of someone from your family or invite a friend.

Usually professional hairdressers do not use these kind of tools when coloring. Their choice is not based on the fact that the hairbrush is bad or useless. It's just that they can already create uniform strands by eye, without wasting time using additional tools.

The modern variety of highlighting combs allows you to find the most comfortable and convenient option. The spatula comb is very popular. In appearance, it looks like a small scoop, since the edge on which the teeth are located is slightly bent upward.

Often, girls prefer a dyeing tool called a stripper. This model has two parts: one side includes teeth and open cavities, and the second is presented in the form of a nozzle for conveniently applying paint to curls.

Combs with sparse teeth are chosen by girls with short hair. It will ideally allow not only to create a parting, but also to neatly highlight the necessary curls for coloring.

The massage model is not suitable for highlighting, but it is also necessary to have it near you, since the hair must be well combed before this procedure. The massage model is ideal to cope with the task, while maintaining the softness and splendor of healthy hair.

The dyeing process with special hairbrushes at home is simple.

It should be produced according to the following algorithm:

• To lighten hair, mix the required amount of oxygen and blue powder until a homogeneous mass is formed.
• Comb your hair thoroughly before dyeing.
• Using the highlighting tool, select the strands that will be colored.
• A small amount of paint should be applied to the comb and each curl should be painted thoroughly and evenly.
• The dye should be left on the hair for about 10 minutes to half an hour. The time depends on the desired result. The lighter you want the shade, the longer it will take to keep the dye on your hair.
• After staining, wash off the paint well with warm water.
• Without fail, the strands must be treated with a regenerating balm.

But each model has its own characteristics, so there are nuances in the use of one or another comb.

For example, highlighting with a "fence" comb will be as follows:

• You need to start by creating one wide strand, which will be identical in width to the comb.
• A comb should be placed under the strand to be colored using the bottom-up principle.
• Thanks to this action, part of the hair will remain on the upper teeth, and the other on the lower ones.
• With the help of your finger, you need to hold these two levels, and carefully bring the foil under the upper teeth, paint them and wrap them in foil.

The spatula is simpler and more convenient to use:

• First you need to separate a section of hair for highlighting.
• The spatula with the teeth upward should be positioned near the hair roots.
• Gently apply paint with a brush, while sliding the spatula in a direction parallel to the brush.
• This procedure should be done with each strand.

For short hair, the ideal tool is a stripper, which also requires a specific algorithm of actions:

• Place the attachment on the part of the comb that contains the teeth.
• Apply paint gently over the nozzle.
• Remove the nozzle and quickly brush from roots to ends with a part of the comb with teeth.
• When the hair is colored, it is necessary to thoroughly wash off the paint, dry well and comb with a massage comb.
