Shatush staining technique

To refresh the look, give the hair a healthy look, experts offer fashionable highlighting techniques. One of these is shatush. The shatush dyeing technique allows you to transform the appearance, while the hair looks natural, as if slightly burnt out in the sun.

The essence of the technology is to create a smooth transition of shades from darker to light. This is achieved through stretching. This allows you to make your hairstyle as natural as possible, give your hair a well-groomed look and shine.

Shatush does not injure hair as much as other methods of dyeing, since it makes it possible to less frequently expose hair to dyeing, and also with it, the boundaries of the transition of shades are blurred gradually, which is not too noticeable. To refresh the image, re-staining should be done after 3 months. In addition, it reduces injuries. Any intervention is stress for the strands. Since the paint is not applied along the entire length and on individual areas, damage is minimal.

The popularity of the technique is due to other advantages. With the help of a shatush, you can not only give vitality to your hair, but also increase its volume. At the same time, the native color becomes more pronounced. In the presence of gray hair, such highlighting allows you to reliably hide it.

Shatush is carried out without the use of foil or caps, which allows you to give the strands a natural look. This is achieved through the interaction of paint with air during the painting process.To make the hairstyle look natural, the gradation of shades occurs gradually. This result is obtained by applying paint to the combed strands. The roots remain intact, but if the owner is not satisfied with her color, then you can first change the basic tone.

Shatush is suitable for girls with long or medium hair. For ladies with short hairstyles, experts do not recommend using this technique, since it is impossible to convey the brightness of the transition of shades. In such cases, such highlighting is confused with ombre. At the same time, a square, painted using the shatush technique, will make its owner younger and fresher.

Experts advise to carry out staining in salons with professionals, since the technology is not so simple. But having basic skills and strictly following the recommendations of specialists, you can get an excellent result at home. First of all, it is worth deciding on the shades that will look the most advantageous on the hair. For the procedure, paints with ammonia, intended for clarification, are suitable.

You must have the following tools on hand to perform the shatush.

1. Brush. The optimal width is considered to be 3 cm. Preference should be given to tools made from natural materials. The plastic version can also be used, but it must be used with special care, since careless use can negatively affect the structure of the hair.
2. Container for diluting the dye composition... For this, bowls made of plastic or glass are suitable. It is forbidden to place paint in metal dishes, since the interaction of metal with acid may change the properties of the coloring agent.
3. Comb fine-toothed for good fleece.
4. Towel. It is necessary not for wrapping, but for drying the strands after dyeing.
5. Gloves and cape. Prevents unwanted contamination of body parts and clothing.
6. Retainers. Since the paint will be applied unevenly, the strands must be separated with special clips or hairpins.

Before making shatush, you should prepare your hair for dyeing. This should start about 3 weeks before the procedure. Preparatory measures include:

• the use of nourishing and moisturizing masks and balms to restore the structure of damaged hair;
• rejection of chemical procedures that can affect the final color;
• elimination of mechanical stress before the procedure to prevent damage to the strands;
• cutting off the split ends, since it is bad for the paint to fall on them, which can nullify all the efforts made;
• do not use styling products, as they negatively affect the penetration of dyes into the hair;
• to avoid excessive exposure to chemicals, do not wash your hair 2-3 days before the shank.

Some manufacturers offer special highlighting kits that simplify the paint selection process and allow you to achieve perfect results even at home. If the paint is used for the first time, you should not neglect the precautions.As the manufacturers advise, it is necessary to test for the absence of allergic reactions.

The shatush technique is not easy, but you can also use it at home. Professionals in salons can dye their hair without combing, but this requires skill. When staining at home, it is better to pre-prepare each strand. Girls with short hair should proceed as follows:

• comb all hair well;
• throw the entire mass of hair forward, tilting your head;
• separate the part near the neck and comb it;
• alternately carry out the same procedure for the remaining hair.

The instructions for owners of medium and long hair are slightly different. They need to do the following.

1. Ponytail your hair. To get a more noticeable result, you need to tie it closer to the forehead, and for a less pronounced effect - at the crown of the head.
2. Divide the strands by 1.5-2 cm. They can vary in size to achieve the most natural shade possible.
3. Backbrush all separated parts. The density and density of the fleece determines how contrasting the colors will look.

After preparing the hair, mix the dye composition. For brown-haired women and brunettes, you can lighten the strands. To do this, a clarifier is applied to the prepared fleece and left for 10-15 minutes. Then you need to rinse your hair with water and dry it.

When choosing an oxidizing agent yourself, it is important to correctly determine the concentration in order to achieve the desired result. For dark-haired girls, you can take a 9% composition, but it can damage the hair structure, so a 6% oxidizer would be the best option.

Further step-by-step painting instructions are as follows.

1. It is better to cover the area at the roots with a film. This will make it possible to avoid the appearance of spots at the roots.
2. In short, chaotic strokes, apply paint to the combed strands, gently shading. It is important to ensure that the product does not penetrate into the fleece, but lingers mainly on the ends, otherwise the effect of burnt hair will not work.
3. After applying the dye composition to all strands, twist the hair into a tourniquet. You don't need to do this, but with long curls, this allows you to achieve brightness and contrast.
4. The time prescribed in the paint manufacturer's instructions is waiting. The dyeing period should not exceed 40 minutes. If it is necessary to obtain a more natural shade, the aging period of the coloring agent should be reduced.
5. To check the result, you can use a wet cotton pad, with which you can wash off the paint from one strand and evaluate the shade. If you are happy with the color, proceed to the next step.
6. Rinse hair thoroughly. If the product remains on the strands, the lightening will continue. Using shampoo, continue washing until the water is clear.
7. Apply a balm or mask to minimize the harmful effects of chemicals on the structure.

To make a shatush at home correctly, you need to study in detail all the information on the staining technique, as well as choose the right shade and adhere to the recommendations of professionals. This will help you avoid many mistakes.

1. Burnt hair. The problem arises when the dyeing time is not observed or a poor-quality composition is used.
2. The appearance of yellowness. Failure to comply with the technology leads to the appearance of a yellowish tint, which can be eliminated with the help of a special balm.
3. Sharp color transitionsarising from the application of paint to improperly combed strands.
4. The shade is not satisfied. This happens if you dye your hair with an unverified product.

Some problems can only be eliminated by a master in the salon. Therefore, when painting, you should take into account the accumulated advice of stylists. Let's analyze them.

1. Girls with red hair tend to have a large amount of pheomelanin, which complicates the lightening process. Therefore, red-haired ladies should entrust the procedure to specialists.
2. Dyeing should be carried out on healthy, undamaged curls, since it will look dull and unnatural on weak shatush.
3. The repeated process should be carried out no more than 2.5 months. The exception is dark hair with red and purple highlights. Within a month, the paint becomes faded, so it needs to be renewed.
4. On blond hair, you should first apply a moisturizer that contains oil. This will make it possible to eliminate brittleness after staining and the appearance of split ends.
5. After painting, try not to expose the hairstyle to thermal effects (irons, curling irons). And if you do this, then use thermal protective agents.
6. Provide proper care: shampoos, balms, masks that will help restore structure and give your hair vitality.

Adhering to the described rules and tips, you can make a shatush at home and get a stunning result that will last about 3 months. After the specified period, you can do a second dyeing procedure with minimal harm to the hair structure. At the same time, the hairstyle will look natural, but at the same time attractive.
