Shatush for dark hair of medium length
Among the modern techniques of fashionable hair coloring, it is not easy to choose the one that is right for you. They all differ in the principle of performance, the number of tones used, the degree of hair lightening and other characteristics. In this article, we will consider this type of coloring as shatush, and specifically: the use of this technique for dyeing dark hair.
Some people believe that dark hair cannot give such beautiful shims as curls of blond shades. In fact, even brunettes can have a sun-glare effect on their hair thanks to the innovations in hairdressing. The "trick" of the shatush technique is precisely this. This is just a godsend for dark-haired beauties who do not want to expose their curls to full lightening, especially since it is not easy to achieve ideal results in this matter. This is especially true for girls of exotic blood, who by nature have tough, jet-black curls.
Peculiarities
To begin with, let's talk about the shatusha as a technique in general. It is based on the distribution of several related shades over the strands - usually four. In this case, the roots are the darkest tones, and the tips are the lightest. The master has relative freedom - he can step back from the roots at different distances, take more or less hair. You can correct the result after four months, while a return visit will take no more than an hour. This is convenient given that you do not need to carefully monitor the regrowth of roots.
Advantages and disadvantages
The pros of staining are a pretty impressive list. Here are its main advantages:
- the distribution of colors is not clearly delineated, so the result looks very natural and harmonious;
- with a natural background color, there is no need to often tint the roots;
- neat hairstyle;
- additional volume effect;
- relatively short execution (hour);
- disguise of gray hair;
- gives a beautiful effect of the locks burnt out in the sun.
The disadvantages of this technique are relative and may seem to someone not as disadvantages, but rather as its features:
- not suitable for too short hair;
- if the main color is noticeably different from the natural one, then the color will have to be refreshed monthly;
- high price in salons.
How to decide on a shade?
To select the most suitable color, the colorist must consider your natural color, the structure of the curls, the presence of coloration and the characteristics of your previous dye if the shade of the hair is changed. Check out who hairdressers recommend what color accents:
- if your hair is a rich black color, then strands of chocolate and nut tones are suitable for you;
- brunettes, whose hair is slightly lighter than in the first paragraph, you can experiment with copper, caramel, nut, wheat, golden;
- dark red-haired girls will be fine with strands of beige, bright red, copper, gold and salmon colors.
Owners of hair of the above colors are recommended to use a mild oxide - 3–6% for fine hair, and 9–12% for coarse hair.
Let's consider separately the ultra-modern options for dark hair.
Chocolate
The range of such colors includes milk chocolate, dark chocolate, cappuccino and the like. They will look good on brown-eyed women with fair skin.
Color
Red, red, purple colors and their shades are most suitable for dark-haired beauties who want to transform through bright accents in their hairstyle.
Ashen
Best of all, this option will decorate tanned brunettes. With light skin, it is recommended only for blue-eyed women, otherwise the image may turn out to be too dull.
Staining technique
There are two ways to make a shatush for dark hair, we will talk about them below.
Brushed
The brighter you want the effect, the harder you need to comb your hair.
- Hair is divided into locks with a thickness of 1.5-2 centimeters. The paint is applied starting from the back of the head, and the rest are fixed with clamps.
- Each strand is combed from the roots and covered with a composition, however, this is done as if superficially - so that the color lays down with glare. Short, neat and rather intense strokes should not touch the roots. As you can see, it is not so easy to make such coloring - it is a whole art. Therefore, colorists who know their business are so appreciated, and usually it is possible to get to them only by appointment.
- When each strand is colored, you need to wait an average of about half an hour, the time depends on the paint and the specific case.
Without fleece
This dyeing method also involves the use of a brushing comb, which is simply dipped in the paint and carried through the hair. Despite the seeming simplicity of the method, it is better to use it by experienced specialists. In general, making shatush is somewhat more difficult without combing.
The general principle remains the same as in the previous version, but since the strands are not combed, you need to do the brush stroke effect yourself.
To do this, the master tries to apply each stroke so that at the beginning and at the end it is less bright and merges with the rest of the hair as much as possible.
Care after the procedure
Shatush is a gentle method of dyeing, but it is also capable of spoiling hair with frequent use. Therefore, after visiting the salon, special care is required for hair.
- This is why it is important to choose a good shampoo and conditioner even when coloring. Purchase these two products from the same series designed for highlighted hair. Many firms have lines specifically for not completely dyed, but colored hair.
- Do not neglect additional hair care products. It is not necessary to buy expensive luxury cosmetics, you can make spa treatments for your hair from improvised products. Traditionally, they use honey, eggs, kefir, herbal infusions, fruits. In addition, homemade cosmetics are considered to be healthier than those made in laboratories.
- Use curling irons and irons less, and when washing, try to set the water to a warm mode, not hot.
- In hot weather, cover your head with hats, bandanas or caps, try not to be in the hot sun for a long time without a hat. Sea water in the first days after painting is undesirable, and, in general, it is always better to remove hair under a plastic cap so that the color does not lose its brightness too quickly.
- After your hair is decorated with a stylish shatush, it's a good idea to undergo wellness treatments like mesotherapy. For more shine, lamination or keratin can be done.
- You can use products with silicone that can protect your hair from external influences, especially if your hair is prone to breakage.
- If you are going to try to make a shatush, then it will be useful to conduct a little preparation. 3 weeks before the procedure, do not dye your hair, pamper it with useful masks. And even drink a course of beauty vitamins and minimize the thermal effects of irons and hair dryers. It is better to have a haircut before the procedure, not after it. Do not wash your hair the day before visiting the salon, it will help to achieve the best result.
Who is it suitable for?
When choosing one or another method of coloring, it is not enough to rely on your favorite photos from the Web or examples of friends. It is important to consider the characteristics of your hair, such as its general condition, structure, natural color and hairstyle preferences. Find out what kind of hair the shatush style coloring will ideally decorate.
Length
Medium and long hair are considered optimal for dyeing. Glare and play of shades will really play on them. It will be difficult to reveal all the richness of color on shorter haircuts. Of course, for experienced hairdressers, nothing is impossible, and they can try to do it, even if you have a bob or an elongated bob, but the result will not be as spectacular. And the owners of the garcon, for example, will have to opt for a different coloring technique.
As for the bangs, it will not hurt to dye the shatush on the hair. Usually it just remains unchanged, and the strands themselves begin on the hair where its length ends. The only thing a hairdresser can do is add a couple of barely noticeable strands two tones lighter to it.
Structure
Wavy hair is just made for creative colors that are based on the play of highlights. The main thing is that the hairdresser is able to tame the obstinate hair during the procedure. And you also need to take into account that they are usually more porous in structure, and this affects the dwell time of the paint and the selection of the oxidant concentration. You will also need good care products to make your curls really shine with health, and you can show them in all their glory. If you have fallen into the hands of an experienced colorist, then you can be sure that he knows all the subtleties of the process, and you can safely entrust him with your curls.
Straight hair is also suitable for creating a shatush, even in an everyday version without curling, and if you twist it for a special occasion, the result will be very impressive.
Density
The splendor of the hair does not matter, this type of coloring is suitable for both thick and sparse hair. The latter will look simply gorgeous thanks to the use of several colors at once. The hairstyle will appear more voluminous and more expressive.
Dyed hair
As we have already found out, natural hair color will only benefit from strand dyeing. But more often than not, girls who want to try creative coloring methods have dyed their hair more than once. In this case, you will have to take into account a number of points.
- You do not need to do it on hair dyed with basma or henna. It would seem that natural dyes are less harmful to hair, and there are only advantages to using them. But these natural dyes can react inadequately to the synthetic composition, and as a result, you risk getting strands of green or simply incomprehensible color.
- After dyeing in shades of black or even dark blond, the hair will have to be lightened and tinted.
Beautiful examples
This photo shows that professionally done coloring of shatushi can decorate even not too long hairstyles like a square. Despite the fact that the hair is smooth and not curled, the effect of glare and burnt-out strands is obvious. And most importantly, you can not be afraid of the regrowth of roots, because after that the hair will not look worse. On the contrary, the result will become even more natural.
Platinum strands look very elegant in this version of the shatush. It is ideal for light-eyed girls with very light skin of the "winter" color type. The main thing is that the general appearance of the hair is quite healthy, and it looks well-groomed, otherwise it will be difficult to achieve the effect of "sun bunnies" in the hair.
In this example, the play of contrasts between tips and roots allows for the most varied and fascinating effects. The hairstyle looks not only radiant - it resembles flames. A multi-layered model haircut can be styled in different ways depending on your mood, and this will add variety to your everyday look.
For lovers of brighter shades, you can advise this option in the style of shatush. It is also good for young girls who value individuality in everything and want to create their own unique and memorable image. The hairstyle shimmers in different shades of cherry and red, and the sophisticated perm gives it even more charm.
Shatush for black and brown hair is an opportunity to update your hairstyle without changing your habits. With the help of this method, the hair will not only become visually healthier. Hair will actually gain strength and shine due to the fact that you do not need to update the result often, which means that they will have time to recover before the next dyeing. The effect of the strands burnt out in the sun to the face of all women, it gives the image freshness, playfulness and brings zest. This coloring gives you the opportunity to be fashionable and at the same time look natural.
