Balajazh on dark hair of medium length

If a woman with dark hair decides to slightly change her image, then one of the most stylish solutions is to dye in the fashionable balayazh technique. Balayazh looks quite beautiful on a dark head of hair, because it allows you to effectively beat your natural color and allows you to experiment with smooth transitions of various shades. Hair looks expensive and luxurious - this is undoubtedly a distinctive sign of technology.

For the first time balayazh was presented in France in the 70s of the last century, but it became the most popular only in the last decade. Translated balayage means “revenge, sweep,” which gives two basic versions explaining this method name:

• staining method - chaotic strokes are applied to the strands, which from the side resemble a bit a sweep of a broom
• A new shade as if “sweeps away” the original color, gives it brightness, shimmer, brilliance and undoubted nobility.

The result of such coloring are iridescent strands, forming the effect of strands sunburned by the sun. This color looks very impressive and at the same time stylish.

In the first place - it is soft accents that are applied to the middle part of the hair and their tips, and the second - the type of technique used.

• Full balayazh - the method is very similar to booking, and in that and in another case use several shades of the same color. Such coloring looks natural and really gorgeous.
• Average - more likely resembles the usual highlighting, but the dye pigment in this case is applied randomly, and the number of strands is determined only by the woman herself at her discretion.
• At the tips - as follows from the name of the technique, here the paint is applied only on the very tips of the hair. This is the safest and most benign option, moreover, if the experiment was unsuccessful, then at any time you can cut off the un-liked color without much damage to the length.

In most cases, balayazh becomes natural shades, but if the soul still asks for something bright and contrast, then you can pick up red, blue, orange, as well as pink, lilac or purple hues, while the boundaries between them are clearly defined and clear.

Balayazh technique has many advantages:

• suitable for both natural and colored hair;
• can be used for women of any age, style and social status;
• the composition is applied to locks of absolutely any length, this is the main difference between the technique and the same ombre, which looks good only on long and medium shave;
• balayazh can drastically change the appearance of a woman, bring flavor and refinement in her appearance;
• It is considered a relatively gentle method, since in this case no more than 50% of the hair is covered with paint;
• masks minor defects in appearance, while emphasizing the depth of view and beautiful oval;
• stylishly rests on both straight and curly hair, can be used on thin and naughty hair;
• does not require frequent correction - staining should be repeated no more than 3-6 times during the year.

However, it was not without drawbacks:

• balayaz requires regular styling, if this is not done, then the hair will have an untidy and unkempt appearance;
• the technique is rather complicated in execution, so for coloring it is better to turn to professional craftsmen, otherwise the result may not meet your expectations;
• when performing techniques on its own at home, in most cases it resembles the most ordinary highlighting;
• it is very easy to make a mistake when dressing in dark curls by choosing the right shades - in this case the hair will be dull and dirty.

Dyeing in the technique of balayazh in salons starts from 2000 rubles, while the higher the qualifications of the master and the longer the hair, the higher the final cost will be. With the independent performance of work will cost the cost of paint and related materials - brushes, capes and gloves.

In order for the colored strands to look as impressive as possible, you should correctly select the correct shade for coloring the strands. Keep in mind that balayaz does not accept the use of several colors - only experiments with shades of the same tone are possible here. To select it, one should proceed from the main features of the appearance - the color type and the native shade.

Young ladies with dark curls should prefer the amber and bronze tones. Ashy strands look quite stylish, but keep in mind - in order to get the desired shade, to begin with dark-haired young ladies will have to lighten some of the hair.

Black-haired women can be advised pearl shades that will perfectly shade the head of the color of the raven wing color, this combination looks especially good on women with white skin and bright eyes.

Such colors are effective on long curls when the hair falls below the shoulder blades. However, there is a pronounced age limit - women who have stepped over the 30-year mark should be as careful as possible with the choice of ashy shades, since they tend to emphasize even the smallest wrinkles.

Fiery tones create a rather elegant contrast; such balaig painted on the tips looks especially good.

For dark brown hair, you should look at the honey and caramel shades that emphasize the natural color, in this case, the overall look of the hairstyle is the most natural and neat.

If you carry out balayazh with the use of golden and beige tones, then you can achieve a flickering effect, similar to the fashionable brondirovanie - in this case, strands overflow, especially good coloring looks, if you use several related shades.

For color staining here you can take yellow, orange and red shades.

For girls with dark blond hair, turtle coloring looks very impressive - here they combine golden blond, caramel, and honey and chocolate shades.

As a result, the curls are slightly darker than the natural color, but due to the successful combination of shades, the strands begin to shine and sparkle.

There are some more interesting options for staining by balayazh method:

• cherry shade, as well as bordeaux and marsala look very stylish, not only at the very tips, but also along the entire length;
• Often, stylists recommend dyeing the roots in eggplant tones, combining them with burgundy flowers - the best solution for brunettes with a winter color type;
• chestnut curls tinted amber, and the roots are painted in bronze color;
• Pink looks very good - both by itself and in combination with lilac or fuchsia;
• At the peak of popularity is blue, which allows you to create a dazzling image, highlighting its owner from any crowd.

Balayazh will be an excellent solution for those brunettes who do not intend to radically change their base hair color, but at the same time tend to look more impressive and attractive. The shade on the top of the crown itself can be made a little darker or left the same, but the tips are slightly bleached, the effect of contrast adds a look of courage, a touch of decisiveness and challenge.

Technology balayazh includes several stages.

• For starters, shovel is divided into curls, fixing each of them with clips.
• All strands are applied to the desired shade, while it is well distributed over the entire length. To make the border clearer, the coloring composition is applied to pieces of foil, they are wound on curls. However, if you want the shade to flow smoothly, then you can do without foil.
• 3-4 minutes after applying the composition, the paint should be combed down with a comb - this will make the shade more wavy, and the transitions blurred.
• The paint is left for 20-25 minutes, then washed off, and treated with a hair fixer.

Girls who intend to do balayazh at home should know a few rules:

• all used detergents and care products must be labeled "for colored hair" - that is, without sulphates;
• When buying a shampoo, conditioner and mask, give preference to those that have additional effects - preserving color and enhancing shine;
• process the tips of the hair with anti-cross section and brittleness in a timely manner, and in addition, from time to time, trim them in a barbershop;
• at least once every 2 weeks, apply on the head of hair rejuvenating masks based on natural essential oils;
• when using a curling, ironing or hair dryer, first apply thermal protection complexes to the hair;
• try not to overdo it with scum, mousse and other styling products - their excessive amount gives your hair a sloppy and untidy look;
• when visiting the pool and on vacation, be sure to protect your strands from chlorine and ultraviolet radiation.

Balayazh is a coloring technique that has a history of more than 50 years, however, the maximum surge in popularity occurred only in recent seasons.

Today this method of coloring is one of the most popular and, accordingly, expensive coloring methods. This style was favored by such iconic divas as Julia Roberts, Gisele Bündchen, Erin Wasson and many other famous Hollywood actresses and sought-after models.

Balayazh effectively looks on black hair, especially if you color it with ashy and pearl shades - the image becomes very well-groomed and elegant.

For owners of chestnut curls fit honey and caramel tones, in this case, the hair looks the most natural.

In most cases, I use the technique for long-haired women, but the owners of short strands can use some subtleties - namely, to choose a shade as close as possible to the natural one, to use 2-4 similar tones so that the transition is almost imperceptible. By the way, stylists believe that it is possible to carry out the most courageous experiments on short hair - since such hair grows pretty quickly, and a woman at any time can cut off all that she didn’t like when coloring, trying some new interesting option.

Experts predict that balayazh remains in fashion for more than one season, this is not surprising, because it helps women look younger, more spectacular and attractive.
