Hidden coloring on dark hair

Modern hairdressing does not stand still, every season new directions appear. Today, hidden or iridescent hair coloring is gaining special popularity.

Hidden coloring came to us from foggy Albion and managed to win a lot of fans. The essence of this technique is to dye the lower or middle layer of hair, which is closed under the main strands. This technique is especially popular with the younger generation, as well as among girls who want dramatic changes in appearance, but for one reason or another it is not permissible, for example, a strict dress code at work. The peculiarity of this coloring is in the color scale, which is radically different from the natural curl.

Before dyeing dark curls, they must first be lightened, otherwise the desired bright shade will not be obtained. Another feature is hair length. It should be such that, if necessary, you can hide colored curls, so this coloring is not suitable for all haircuts.

The disadvantages include the following:

• difficulty in coloring, especially independently, since all the work is done on the back of the head;
• in the cabin such a procedure is not cheap;
• weakening of the lower or middle layer of hair;
• additional hair care for this layer;
• frequent color correction.

Despite such difficulties, this technique has the following advantages:

• a huge selection of colors and variation of hairstyles;
• non-standard and attractive appearance;
• the ability to adjust to the makeup and main wardrobe of the girl;
• easily masked under the main layer of hair;
• universality in relation to the color of the main hair - this coloring is equally suitable for dark-haired girls, and for blondes, and for owners of red curls.

In latent staining, there are several species that differ in the density of staining.

• Solid. This view is the most affordable for both home and salon performance. The basis is to change the color of the entire range of hair, lower or middle, with only one shade selected. Despite its simplicity and accessibility, it requires special care in separating the hair from each other. At home, this will help comb with a thin handle.
• Classic coloring implies a color change only in some curls. It can also be called hidden highlighting. In this embodiment, you can also use only one or a few colors.
• Ombre It consists in a smooth transition of colors, while staining does not begin from the hair roots. At home, for such a technique will need two mirrors that will be located opposite each other, as well as a comb and brush.
• Zigzag or waves. This type is the most difficult, therefore it is not recommended to carry out independently. With this technique, the curls are stained through one. In this case, the first curl is colored from the root, the second - with a slight indentation and a smooth transition from one shade to another. For this type, it is common to use more than two colors, which gives the hairstyle even more extraordinary.
