Shatush for short hair: how to choose the tone and correctly carry out the procedure?

Among the many different cosmetic procedures, techniques such as highlighting or shatush are currently especially popular. The popularity of shatusha in recent years is very simple to explain - the procedure is carried out in a short period of time, and the end result is amazing. This coloring creates graceful color transitions that will rejuvenate and refresh any woman.

All the nuances of the procedure and how to take care of them after it will be described below.

Shatush is a technique that has gained its popularity relatively recently. The process itself consists in a smooth transition from light shades to darker ones. Paint is applied to strands of different sizes and as far as possible from the roots. The result lasts for about 2-3 months, which is very good.

It should be noted that it is easiest to do this work on long or medium hair. With a short hairstyle, the situation is somewhat more complicated and only a professional can cope with it.

Also, one cannot fail to mention that shatush made on short hair will not create such a stunning effect as on long curls.

There are quite a few advantages of this procedure, but do not forget about the disadvantages.

• Shatush cannot be used on too short hair. This is due to the fact that in this case, due to the small length of the hair, it is impossible to create the very transition from light to dark tones.
• When working with blond hair, it is extremely difficult to achieve the desired effect.
• The increased complexity of the procedure, due to which it is almost impossible to carry out the shatush on your own.
• In a decent salon, the procedure will be extremely expensive for a real professional.

In general, shatush-style staining is suitable for almost everyone. The problem is that for each individual shade of hair, you need to select an individual dye. It is very important that all this not only be combined with each other, but also create a transition.

The most successful for this technique are light brown or brown hair.... For darker curls, California highlights are usually used.

For older women, the technique is also acceptable, especially when it comes to painting gray hair. However, this is relevant only when it takes up no more than 30% of the total hair volume.

The choice of color when performing shatusha is a very important detail. In this case, it is necessary to consult with the master.

When choosing a shade, factors such as hair length and their natural color must be taken into account.

For dark-haired girls, coloring with light colors is clearly not suitable. For them, it is recommended to take the tone closer to the chocolate or nut color. Caramel or copper tones will also look very good.

Choosing the right shade for red hair is not easy. However, if you do everything right, then the final result will be very pleasing. For such a hairstyle, colors such as gold, bright red, copper, honey and others will be relevant.

Blond hair is not the best option for a shatush. The problem is that it is very difficult to create clear transitions on such curls. Nevertheless, by choosing the appropriate color, the master can create an simply amazing hairstyle. For dyeing blonde hair, it is best to focus on caramel, gold, ash, wheat and other colors.

However, he still loses many dignities.For example, unlike a regular shatusha, a colored one involves the use of bright and prominent colors, so a hairstyle completely loses its natural look.

It is best done on dark hair - a huge number of colors are suitable here, for example, scarlet, blue, blue, all shades of pink or red, and so on. For red hair, bright yellow, golden, red and even green colors are usually applied. For light hair, all shades of pink, blue or red will be relevant.

As a rule, young girls resort to colored shatusha. Among adults, this technique is not taken seriously, especially if their place of work is an office or other institution where a dress code is established.

Another type of this technique is the reverse shatush. Here the hair is as light as possible in the root zone, however, approaching the ends, they become darker and darker. This type is considered more gentle than the others, because a small part of the hair is lightened here. It all looks beautiful and natural, so it is possible and even necessary to make a reverse shatush.

Preparation of hair before dyeing requires special attention, which should be started already at least 2-3 weeks before its implementation.

The main preparation measures include the following points.

• Regular application of moisturizing and regenerating masks. Hair coloring is a lot of stress, so you should prepare them as much as possible before doing this.
• Split ends removal.
• The last shampooing before the procedure should be 3-4 days before. This is due to the fact that the substances contained in the shampoo are capable of reacting with the dye, which will lead to the most unexpected results.
• It is also recommended to give up styling products and various styling. The same goes for curly hair - you don't need to straighten it.
• Dyed hair should be dyed in the base color, with which the shatush will be made. All this is best done with the same master.
• Another important recommendation is a test for a possible allergic reaction.

As for the execution technique itself, it takes 1.5-2 hours, which is relatively short. It is divided into two main types - with and without fleece.

The very first thing to do, regardless of the type of staining chosen, is to prepare the necessary tools.

1. Coloring agent. It is recommended to stop the choice on the most famous brands. The chosen color should differ from the natural one by literally several shades. You can use both natural dyes and persistent chemical ones.
2. Brush... The brush used should not be more than three centimeters wide. This is essential to get the desired result.
3. Dishes for mixing preparations. It is best to use a glass or plastic container. It is highly discouraged to use metal.
4. Hairpins or clothespins to secure your hair.
5. Comb. Required to create a bouffant. Best of all, if it is a scallop.

The classic shatush is created in several stages.

1. The hair is carefully combed, then divided into several thin strands. Their width should be about 2 centimeters.
2. Now the selected strands should be combed with a comb.
3. Then you can start clarification - for this, a clarifier is prepared in a special dish. The intensity of the product should be selected in relation to the structure of the hair: for thin - no more than 4%, and for thick - 12%. Using a special brush, the product is applied to combed hair. A few centimeters should be retreated from the roots. Some brighten only half of the hair. You need to paint slowly and carefully, moving the composition to the ends.
4. It is the fleece that helps to achieve a smooth transition, but if the desired result is clearer lines, then you should not comb too much. Blondes can skip this stage and start toning immediately. Depending on the base hair color, you need to wait for the allotted time. As a rule, this stage does not take more than 30 minutes. Over time, the dye must be thoroughly washed off with water.
5. If the result is suitable, then the work can be safely continued. If not, then it is necessary to distribute the toning dye along the entire length of the hair.
6. It can be washed off after 15 minutes.
7. Now you need to apply a moisturizer - balm or hair mask. It is necessary to hold the product for at least ten minutes, and then rinse it off.

In this case, the dye is applied using a special brush or hands, making the hairstyle more effective.

The work is carried out as follows.

1. The first step is to choose two main shades that are most similar to the base one. You should literally step back from the roots by a couple of centimeters.
2. Next, paint is applied to the strands in a random order. In order to get smooth transitions, it needs to be shaded.
3. For a certain time, the dye is kept on the hair, and then it is thoroughly washed off. The time depends on the base color and structure of the hair.
4. If necessary, the curls can be additionally painted with a tinting agent.

Another important point is further care after the procedure. It will take some time and little effort to restore hair after shatush.

Basic rules for the care of colored hair.

• The most important thing to take care of first is a specialized shampoo for colored hair. These products can be found in beauty stores. It will be better if all hair products are from the same series.
• In the case when the curls become brittle or dry, silicone-based funds will be required. Such a composition will create a protective shell on them.
• Naturally nourishing masks should not be neglected. Masks made from fruits, honey, eggs, various herbs and similar ingredients are good.
• Shampooing should be approached with all responsibility - the water should be warm, and after the wash itself, the curls should be additionally rinsed with cold water.
• You must completely get away from such devices as a hair dryer and an iron. Such electrical appliances do not have the best effect on the condition of the hair.
• In no case should you walk without a hat in direct sunlight.
• Also, do not comb wet hair, as this causes mechanical damage to it.

It is extremely difficult to execute shatush, especially if you do it yourself. In no case should you neglect the recommendations and services of the masters, because if at least one mistake is made, the hair can be seriously damaged.
