Coloring with one color has long been out of the trend: the richer the palette, the more interesting and more original the hairstyle. It is not necessary to take extreme colors that are far from natural tones, although this is now possible. Regarding the length of the strands, fashionable haircut for short hair can also be dyed in three colors, and it will look great.
Advantages and disadvantages
The three-dimensional effect is created when painting the strands in different tones, but some of the curls remain a natural color. Thus, the hairstyle as if comes to life, becomes volumetric due to the play of light and shadow. The obvious advantages of this technique:
- haircut looks natural;
- the root zone, as a rule, remains of a natural shade that excludes regular tinting;
- hair density and fluffiness do not suffer from staining;
- technology allows you to disguise gray hair;
- no more than half of all hairs are colored, which doubly reduces their damage if bleaching on darker curls is necessary, followed by coloring in the desired tone.
Of the minuses worth noting:
- the inability to carry out the procedure after painting over the entire length and chemical waving;
- partial deterioration of the hair during intermediate bleaching;
- unacceptable performance of the technique with the continued use of henna as a dye
It should be added that tricolor highlighting can be done on short and long hair, it is applicable to medium-dark and light hair.

But in all cases, it is necessary to take into account the original color of hair, skin and eyes, as well as the general condition of the curls. But if it comes to intense staining with the use of washes and bleaching, procedure not recommended:

The technique is intended, rather, to emphasize the natural beauty of hair, so it is advisable to select 1-2 shades lighter or darker than your own hair. In principle, this range is acceptable to expand up to 3-4 tones. In the cabin can offer the following shades for each hair color:
- blondes — light and dark blond, pale red (2–3 tones darker);
- girls with light brown hair — light and dark chestnut (1–2 tones darker);
- brown hair - chocolate, light and dark chestnut, blond shades;
- red - chestnut, chocolate, light brown tone;
- in the presence of gray hair - shades of black, ashen, graphite;
- brunettes - brown and chocolate shades.
For blondes, coloring needs to be made 1–3 tones darker, while at the same time, brighter, more unexpected tones, out of the natural palette, will work for this category of women.
Do brunettes create any extreme colors associated with the original strong lightening, and the result can be damaged hair.
