Features of hair coloring using the shimmer technique

Every year there are new trends and different types of improving their appearance. This year is no exception. L »Oréal Professionnel experts were able to surprise everyone by inventing an innovative painting style - a radiant shimmer. In fact, he has long been known among make-up artists, but he has never been transferred from his face to his hair before.

Immediately it should be noted that the effect of glowing hair can be achieved with the help of special sprays, but this painting will last for several hours. Shimmer is a technique that gives an unusual transfusion and shine due to the fact that at different angles of incidence of light the shade of hair changes slightly. This became especially popular after the arrival of the Space and Future styles in fashion. The so-called shining effect is achieved with the help of special paints, which include laminating substances and keratin compounds.

Thanks to keratin, shimmer staining becomes not only beautiful, but also useful. After it, the hair remains soft and looks healthy and voluminous.

LOréal is the most popular manufacturer of such products, so it is better to choose the paint of this company. We advise you to purchase Shimmer Color Addict from the Majirel series. It consists of 12% base and 88% of the pigment itself. It contains elements reflecting light rays, it also has laminating substances and various kinds of lipids.

The series has several shades. This is very convenient, because when dyeing, you can safely combine colors, thereby creating a rather unusual hairstyle.

Also recently, L »Oréal Professionnel has developed a new collection of similar paints - Féria, Dia Richesse and Dia Light. But their value exceeds, although not too much, the price of the previous one.

Unlike balayazh, shatush and ombre, this effect can be reproduced on different hairs, and it does not depend on their color or length. Brunettes, brown-haired, red-haired, blonde shimmer is perfect, this coloring will be able to unusually change the hairstyle. This painting will profitably increase the volume regardless of the natural properties of your hair. Shimmer technology is suitable for any haircuts, even the shortest. Long iridescent curls will also look great.

In general, there are only 18 colors with pearlescent and reflective components. But this amount of wave is enough to create your own unique image. A different combination of these shades helps to create new ones.

Focus on your skin tone. If it is cold (pale, porcelain), then the paint should be selected in cold colors. If it is warm (dark) - the color should be warm.

Before you choose a shade, carefully examine how it looks on your hair, like yours. Buy better several paint options at once.

Dark-haired girls are offered a variety of shades that match the natural tone. They are available colors such as dark silver, chocolate, pink, purple, blue, gold.

Brunettes are perfect silver.It will add some cold and gloss to the hairstyle. Chocolate also looks advantageous on dark and warm hair. "Chocolate" curls become more saturated and fresh. This color will add a bright golden sheen in the sun.

Pink, purple, blue, gold and lavender will certainly suit dark brown-haired women, adding them to the image of extravagance, luxury and attractiveness. These shades will present the owner of the hair in the most favorable light.

Brown hair, unfortunately, does not have the brightness or the presence of a particular shade, but Shimmer corrects these shortcomings. Usually the color is selected depending on the natural tone and saturation. Creating a glossy shine comes by mixing 3-4 types of paint. This technique allows you to bring the effect of radiance to the base tone. This is very important, as unnatural colors will look bad, making the hair look like an artificial wig.

The girls with this hair color are very lucky because there is a whole palette for red shades in the L »Oreal Professionel line. Shimmering paint makes the color even more saturated, just fiery, enhancing its golden glitter. You can save the natural tone by simply adding pure gloss, or give it intensity and metallic reflections.

The shimmer on the hair with a red tint looks great with dark and light colors. With light shine becomes more restrained and matte. And dark intensify glare and shimmer, giving unusual play under the rays of the sun. Also, these two compositions can be easily mixed in different proportions to obtain colors that are suitable for you.

As for blondes, cold tones are perfect here. Thanks to the Shimmer technique, the hair becomes pearlescent, becoming more voluminous due to the play of light on them. But there is one small minus - the coloring pigment on the blond curls washed off much faster than on the dark. Although it will not be very noticeable, as the paint goes away gradually.

There are several classic for shimmer colors and shades that can be applied to white hair: silver, purple, gold.

Silver creates a feeling of metal, it will appeal to ladies who love muted tones with the addition of a small amount of gray hair. Purple color will be able to diversify the image, making it brighter and more interesting.
