Kinds
There are a lot of names and schemes of coloring on a complex technology today. You can choose the best options for all types of strands, original color, face shape, age and status. Almost all multicolour staining, no matter what they are called, require stretching of color, transition, contrast or gradient. It is very important to know the main differences of techniques and choose the right tone, regardless of fashion trends. For example, the current ash is not every color type.
There are several basic staining techniques for complex type: shatush, balayazh, ombre, highlighting. On their basis, every season masters offer more and more original species.
Shatush
This look is distinguished by naturalness and airiness, the strands seem to be slightly brightened by the sun and look natural. The shades stretch harmoniously flowing from the darkened crown to the bright ends. A clear gradient can not be traced, the transition of the horizontal type.
To avoid this technique is recommended by redheads and those who have undergone lamination and keratin on the strands. Also not the best choice of shatush will be for light strands, short and gray.
Balayazh
One of the most popular techniques, washing out pigment from the strands, which are stained chaotically.The roots remain natural, the ends and a few strands above are painted contrastingly.
This technique keeps the effect on strands for a very long time, the transition is smooth and increasing volume. Great for curly hair, thin and straight. Looks best on the cascade and other multi-layered haircuts.
Ombre
The essence of this technique is in drawing out a natural color, a game with shades that look like a shadow. The roots remain in their original form or slightly darkened, then the gradient with a smooth transition goes along the entire length. Perfectly adds volume, magnificent both in assembled form, and uncool, suitable for straight and curly strands.
The ombre is distinguished from the velmbar by painting the ends superficially, and from the rod — not by selective lightening of the strands.
Highlighting
Best suited for those who want to make changes to the image, but not ready for dramatic changes. Separate strands are stained in this case, which allows the image to be fresh and interesting. Technologically, highlighting can be different: diagonal, basal, etc. The strands can be lightened or darkened.
Highlighting will perfectly hide gray hair, enliven the image, give volume, allow the roots to grow more inconspicuously, makes it possible to paint in any color, creating the impression of coloring.
