Hair coloring in bright colors: types and technology of implementation

Blondes have always been considered the benchmark of femininity and tenderness. Probably, there is no such woman who would never think about lightening her hair. Such coloring requires accuracy and caution, but the result invariably looks very impressive.

Dyeing hair in a light color is accompanied by stress for the curls, because to obtain the desired color it is necessary to completely or partially neutralize the coloring pigment inside the hair shaft. For this we have to use special chemical compounds that loosen the keratin layer, which protects the curls from the aggressive effects of external factors, and maintains the required level of moisture.

As a result, the strands lose their luster, become “straw” to the touch, and the tensile strength decreases markedly, which leads to brittleness and section. If a woman tries to transform from a brunette into a blonde for a single coloring, the end result will be very deplorable - dim tow will appear on her head, which is difficult to comb, it is impossible to lay and touch unpleasantly. Often, too much discoloration causes damage to the hair follicle and hair loss.

By choosing the shade of light should be approached with caution, here does not play any role the age of the woman, but the color type should be taken into account. So ladies with a “warm” type are distinguished by dark skin and dark hair, they are suitable for honey, wheat, gold and light chestnut shades. But young ladies with fair skin and hair should stop the choice on “cold” tones of ashy, platinum or pearl color.

If the shade was chosen correctly, then the woman will get several advantages of blondes at once:

• blond - it is a natural natural shade that never goes out of fashion and does not lose its relevance, unlike all other colors on the hair;
• additional volume - even the thinnest hair in a light version becomes more luxuriant and thick;
• refreshing effect - It has long been known that the face in the frame of light strands looks more youthful and attractive.

Stylists do not recommend to lighten dark-skinned women with dark, hard hair, in this case, the blond will look extremely unnatural, and the procedure of coloring is fraught with a number of problems. Keep in mind that the darker the native shade, the more difficult it is to achieve a pure light color, as a rule, black curls first discolor with a 9% oxidizer (for comparison, 6% concentration of the active substance is used on light and blond hair) This is a more aggressive composition, which leads to the destruction of hair, which causes their dryness and brittleness.

Light shades of pale, painful skin are not recommended - in this case, the girls will need to apply complex multi-layer makeup to even out the complexion. Women with acne, acne and other skin problems are also not recommended light shades. Not very well looked person with a large number of moles in this color - because in the frame of white strands from afar they may look like black dots.

There are several options for staining in light colors. Depending on the color, the blond may be:

• platinum or ashen - for owners of pale skin;

• light blond or honey - for slightly tanned skin;

• light chestnut - for swarthy women.

Be sure to take into account the color of the eyes of a woman, for example, copper, wheat and golden hues are well combined with green, for blue the preference should be platinum or pearl, and for brown the best option would be caramel shades and the color of coffee with milk.

For many years, women who wanted to become blondes, resorted to multi-color staining, when all her hair was lightened with a dye of one light tone. This technique has many disadvantages:

• injures hair, because the chemical composition acts on all strands, without exception;
• with self-dyeing, uneven distribution of paint is possible and, as a result, ready-made colors will also be “clogged”;
• the technique does not create colors and glare on the strands, and therefore curls look dull in most cases.

In order to minimize all these negative effects of clarification, stylists have created several more progressive coloring techniques, which in recent years have been very popular with the fair sex. Coloring with dark roots - in this case, the darker crown turned from a sign of neglect to a stylish trend. Hair begins to color, retreating from the roots by 3-5 cm, while along the entire length a soft transition from the dark at the crown to the light at the tips is created. This technique has many advantages - the hairstyle becomes more lush, even the roughest facial features are smoothed, the paint acts sparingly, and it requires no more than 3 times a year to correct such color.

In recent years, balayazh-style dyeing has become very fashionable. This is a French technique in which the dyeing composition is applied to individual loops with sweeping motions - this allows you to create the effect of sun-bleached hair, as well as delicate golden highlights that make mend more lively and light.

Traditional highlighting is also the best suited for women who want to lighten hair by 3-4 tones, but they do not dare to take radical actions. In this version, individual strands are captured and treated with a dyeing composition, while the clarification can be frequent, rare or zonal.

Separately, it is necessary to dwell on the features of lightening short hair;

Nowadays, many technologies have been invented for lightening hair, but, unfortunately, it has not yet been completely safe yet, so women have to choose between weaker and more substantial injuries. In this case, it should be well understood that the softer the drug acts, the less tones can be washed off the head. The maximum effect can be achieved with the help of bleaching preparations and washes.They are used before painting with resistant paints, which differ by a couple of colors from the original color of the strands, otherwise it is impossible to achieve cleanliness. The range of such drugs today is as follows.

• Brightening powders - they are mainly used in salons, contain a special purple pigment, which allows to avoid the effect of yellowness. The advantages of the powder lie in its high efficiency - the hair is quickly lightened by 7-8 tones, however, the risks are associated with this particular composition. With the wrong dilution of the substance and violation of the recommended exposure time, the hair becomes dry and brittle and lifeless.

• Brightening Gel - This is a novelty in the cosmetic market, which allows you to lighten hair, but it does not contain ammonia in its composition. Discoloration occurs under the action of hydrogen peroxide in combination with thermal effects, but in this case you can lighten the curls no more than 2 colors, and when it comes to colored hair, the gels are not at all effective.

• Washes - this is one of the most harmless solutions for lightening hair with a minimum content of oxidizing components, so that the keratin layer is slightly destroyed. Such a tool almost does not give discoloration on natural curls, but for those previously painted it becomes a real find.

• For owners of the nature of blond hair a good composition for lightening can be ammonia paint - they are ideal in case you need to change the color no more than a couple of tones. Thanks to ammonia, keratin scales are loosened, and the darker pigment is quickly washed out. In fact, such paints simultaneously discolor and tint, replacing the original pigment with the selected one.

• To lighten the hair often use tonal balms, they have a short-term effect, while not lightening the hair, but simply give the desired shade. Most often, balms are used to neutralize the yellowness of blond hair, which is the result of exposure to sunlight, smoking and poor-quality water.

• A safer clarification option is considered natural compositions using folk recipes. They act gently, lighten up to no more than 1-1.5 tones, but they do not destroy hair.
  1. Of all the means, rinsing with chamomile decoction is the most popular; for this, 2 spoons of herbs are poured with 500 ml of boiling water, drawn for half an hour and watered after each hair wash.
  2. Rinsing with lemon juice is not inferior to chamomile rinsing, the acid has the ability to destroy the pigment and make the curls a little lighter, however, this composition often irritates the scalp and with regular use dries the hair a little.
  3. Honey also has a slight lightening effect, but only women with a lot of free time can resort to such a remedy - you need to keep the mask on your hair for at least 6 hours, which is not always pleasant.
  4. Women with light-colored hair can use masks based on whey and kefir - they eliminate yellowness and make the shade colder.

Any coloring in light shades is best done in the cabin. Only the master can choose the right shades, taking into account the color of the native head of hair, in addition, a professional evaluates the condition of the hair and, depending on this, selects the coloring composition and corrects the exposure time. At home, any experiments with bleaching often result in damage to the hair.

If you are firmly confident in your abilities, then you can try such techniques as shatush, highlighting and balayaz at home - they are good for long and medium hair.In this case, individual strands, taken in a chaotic manner, are lightened. At the same time transitions of shades are created on the hair, and any errors in the application of coloring compositions are almost imperceptible to others.

The most popular option for clarification at home is highlighting - in this case, a cap with holes is put on the head, through which thin strands are pulled out with a hook and painted in the desired color. It is not difficult to make a balayazh on the head - for this, a dyeing composition is applied to the hair, without affecting the root zone, for a quarter of an hour, after which the comb is brushed to the ends of the hair and aged for another 25-30 minutes. Shatushas are made with the help of strokes - the hair is divided into separate locks, well combed, and then with small movements in a chaotic manner they apply dye from the tips to the middle of the hair.

For short hair, monochrome coloring is chosen - for this, paint is diluted and, in accordance with the instructions, applied to the hair, evenly dyeing all the strands. In this case, it is better to ask your friend for help, otherwise staining on the back of the head may turn out to be uneven. Do not forget that the bleached hair must be properly care.

• Preference should be given to professional shampoos labeled “for bleached hair”. They contain purple pigments that prevent the appearance of low-aesthetic yellowness in the curls.
• At least once a week you should use hair masks, serums and oils.
• Try to limit the use of a hot hair dryer, pleyok and irons, and it is better to wash your head with warm, almost cool water.
• Heat exposure is harmful to the hair, in addition, it washes out the color, as a result of toning gradually fading.

Owners of blond curls are the personification of tenderness and femininity. This color does not go out of fashion and held at the peak of popularity for more than a decade. It is no coincidence that this color scheme is preferred by many stars of cinema and show business all over the world.
