Any woman wants to add personality to her image and look amazing every day. Even the most ordinary short hairstyle can be transformed with unusual shades. Today, complex dyeing for short hair is becoming more popular day by day. The modern beauty industry provides many techniques and ways to give hair a minimum length of bright and rich color.
Advantages and disadvantages
Sophisticated dyeing techniques are a selective dyeing of individual strands over the entire length or just their tips. Most often used from 2 to 4 shades. With this procedure, even very short haircuts look amazing. Fashionable coloring allows you to stand out from the crowd and form a unique image. The advantages of complex staining include the following nuances:
- minimal hair damage;
- giving hair the desired volume;
- excellent masking of gray hairs;
- suitable for any age;
- harmonious color transition;
- looks expensive and elegant;
- does not require frequent adjustments.
This technique is particularly suitable for ladies who are planning a sharp change of image, for example, from a blonde to a brunette (or vice versa).
Nevertheless, this method has its drawbacks. For example, the high cost of the procedure (especially on long and thick hair). As a rule, masters use professional paints, which are very expensive. In addition, in most cases, full lightening of individual curls is required, which negatively affects the hair structure, and not all techniques are suitable for short hair.
Please note that when staining the tips, they soon begin to split. Also complex staining will not work on curly and wavy hair.
Options
Short hair means fast coloring and simple styling. By the hair of a minimum length, you can notice several popular techniques of complex staining. These include the following.
- Ombre. A popular method, the essence of which is the combination of light and dark shades. This implies a smooth transition from the tone of the roots to the tips and vice versa. Colors can be close in tone (differ by 2-3) or contrasting. When creating an ombra on short hair today use and super fashionable shades (blue, pink and green). This type of coloring can diversify any haircut.
- Balayazh. This implies a smooth transition (vertical) from a dark to a lighter tone. Great for red and blond hair. Balayazh refers to retrostyle, and it is in many ways similar to highlighting. However, this method does not imply a chaotic staining procedure, but a strict sequence. One colored curl alternates with natural. As a result, the haircut acquires additional volume and looks great. Complicated coloring on the balayazh technique will add a piquant "zest" to the female image.
- Shatush. It is created by analogy with the ombra, but the master in his work uses more natural shades with the effect of strands faded under the southern sun. Due to this method of dyeing, regrown roots remain invisible for a long time. Strands for painting are chosen spontaneously and look very natural. Shatush on short hair looks especially impressive.
Also complex techniques include partial dyeing, which is important for very short hair.For example, elongated bangs turn purple or hot pink, which is bold and fashionable.
Features painting gray hair
Do not think that the gray is a problem only mature women. Many women begin to notice her appearance after thirty years. It has long been known that gray hairs are very fastidious and difficult to dye. If we talk about the monochromatic dyeing of short hair, then it is best to make the hair 2-3 tones lighter than natural. Dye gray hair in dark colors is not recommended. Especially not suitable for combating gray hair black, red and copper colors. They literally shade gray hairs.
It perfectly masks the gray hairs technique of frequent highlighting and the ombre method. Thus the straightened strands are not washed off and do not “bare” gray hair. In addition, these types of staining do not require frequent adjustments, they can be easily done at home.
Hair care
Any hair that has been exposed to paint (even the most expensive) requires careful care. Difficult dyeing techniques on a short head of hair naturally cause some damage to the hair structure. In order for the strands to look healthy and well-groomed, you need:
- a week after dyeing, apply nourishing masks on the hair;
- do not abuse styling products and limit the use of a hair dryer, curling or ironing;
- apply tinting balms and shampoos;
- not to neglect headgear in hot or, on the contrary, frosty weather;
- Do not comb wet strands to avoid brittleness.
