When dyeing in black and white, both appearance and inner world change dramatically. And in order not to look like a black and white magpie, you should approach the change of appearance as carefully as possible, after having weighed all the pros and cons.

Consider a few more techniques for coloring women's short haircuts, as well as their pros and cons.

Several colors in one hairstyle - this is balayazh. The game of various shades with highlights on individual strands will add contrast even to a timid and inconspicuous girl, because not only the features of the face will appear in a favorable light, but also the beauty of hair. When coloring in the technique of balayazh, curls are given shades that are close to natural.

The word balayage comes from the French "sweeping."

Therefore, the master makes strokes as if with a brush, and if coarser, like a broom. It is important to follow a few rules:

• brush strokes for coloring only vertical, top to bottom;
• the shade chosen for coloring should be adjusted to the native color;
• the tone should lie unevenly, the gain goes to the tips, the upper part seems to be slightly powdered;
• visible transitions are unacceptable to create the impression of naturalness.

Pros: looks great on short hair, has no age restrictions, you can rarely visit the beauty salon - as the regrowth does not grow regrown roots. Cons: the procedure takes quite a long time, causes little harm in the place of staining.

You see a woman, her hair as if slightly touched by the sunshine of the southern islands. And you still have 9 months to go, but you want to look the same right here and now. Then you just need to go to an experienced master who is well versed in the technique of coloring the shatush. Smooth transitions from a dark shade to a light and natural glare - you wanted this effect.

But before reaching the desired result, the master must fulfill several important conditions:

• First, select the desired shade and prepare the dye according to the technology;
• correctly divided the hair into zones;
• combing certain areas and distributing dye to them;
• the degree of staining is determined by the master, and if necessary, corrects it;
• after 40 minutes of waiting, the paint is washed off;
• if toning is required, the wizard performs this procedure.

Only one minus - the procedure is quite expensive.

This type of coloring is still unfamiliar for Russian fashionistas. Mazhimesh - a kind of highlighting, but more gentle. Preparations for this procedure do not contain ammonia. Used in the form of a creamy substance with the addition of auxiliary substances and wax. This creates the effect of strands with golden tints.

Pros:

• the effect of naturalness is achieved through smooth transitions, so the hair looks shiny, vibrant and dynamic;
• it can be used even on damaged and over-dried hair, because ammonia is not included in the dye;
• suitable for any hair structure: wavy, straight and very curly;
• frequent correction and coloring is not required, because the color transition is smoothly stretched, barely noticeable, which means that the update will be required only in 3-4 months;
• looks great on haircuts such as a ladder and a cascade.

Minuses:

• such a composition is still problematic, especially in the provinces;
• Since this type of coloring is a novelty, for some time it will be significantly more expensive compared to other types.

Despite the new method of coloring, especially ardent women of fashion show miracles and manage to get the magic composition for the procedure. The procedure itself is as follows.

• In addition to paint, you will need a comb or brush. Coloring air without shelter, smears put with a brush.
• Depending on what result you want to get, you need to choose the technique of staining. It also affects the length and original hair color. No need to panic, if suddenly you overdo the paint - the sparing components will not damage your hair.

• Wrong advice is to apply: apply paint to dirty hair.Dust and sebum will not allow the paint to penetrate deep into the structure of the hair, which means that the desired result will not be achieved. Do not forget about the instructions and strictly follow it.

• Black and white on the hair can be combined in different ways: one side is black, the other is white; the bang is white, the base is black; strands both black and white.

• Reservation. The basis of chocolate color, golden locks.

• Balajazh brown with red strands.
