Many girls and women have repeatedly thought about how to radically change the appearance of their hair. Often, such changes make women younger and more beautiful. An excellent variant of such changes can be double highlighting.
By itself, highlighting involves dyeing a certain part of the hair. However, a double passes more painlessly for the hair, and the result looks much better.
What is different from the classic?
The main feature of the double highlighting is that the hair is experiencing the least stress compared with the classic version. That is, this procedure causes much less damage to the hair than the classical one.
The difference is also in that strands of different sizes are partially brightened. You can dye not only from the roots themselves, but also from the rest of the hair.
With this procedure, you can hide gray hair for a short time, as well as refresh your hair. Staining is quick and easy.
As for age, there are no restrictions. For older women, double highlighting will help rejuvenate a little, and for younger women it is a great way to change appearance and emphasize beauty.
As for the technique of execution, in the implementation of the classical procedure, the strands are painted completely - along the entire length and thickness. Because of this, such hair does not look very natural.
Prices for both procedures have no special differences. It all depends on the length of the hair being dyed. Based on this data, the master calculates the right amount of paint, and accordingly, the price itself. From this it follows that to paint long and thick curls will be somewhat more expensive than short ones.
The average price of double highlighting for short hair is 1 thousand rubles. The price for painting long varies from 2 to 5 thousand rubles.
Save on this case is not worth it, because it is from the procedure depends on the further result. In addition, if improper performance can greatly harm the hair.
Contraindications
Despite the extraordinary ease and speed of this staining, it is not suitable for everyone. The main contraindications are:
- hair too dark color;
- stained with henna;
- strands straightened with keratin;
- perm;
- The procedure is contraindicated in pregnant and lactating women.
Characteristic features of the procedure
Consider the features of the performance of double highlighting based on what hair it is applied.
On light brown hair
When implementing this method of painting should take into account not only the above contraindications, but also different hair colors, as well as their structure.
Curls of light brown color very often have a thin structure, which is very good, because double highlighting is intended for such hair. This technique will make them more brilliant and, if possible, hide the regrown roots.
It is in blond curls that such highlighting looks best; the main thing is to choose the appropriate shades.
On dark hair
The most difficult thing to cope with is a dark head of hair, because immediately before highlighting it will be necessary to lighten it, which causes great harm. Owners of this color are advised to contact only professionals who are able to carry out the correct discoloration, and then the highlighting itself.
On light
Curls of light shades - the best option for this procedure. Due to the fact that the bleaching is not needed here, the hair will be almost no harm.By choosing the right and appropriate colors, you can create a voluminous hairstyle with a healthy shine.
As for the length, there are no restrictions here either.
On short
It is much easier to dye short hair - you can do it at home. But with longer strands, the situation is somewhat more complicated, and without the help of a professional is not enough.
For long
Highlighting on long hair is performed using two contrasting colors, that is, strands are selected for dyeing in white and dark color.
Some prefer to dye certain areas on the hair, for example, strands located on the side or tips.
How is it done?
The procedure is distinguished by its simple execution and further care, so many spend it at home.
Double highlighting is divided into five main stages.
- The first part is the separation of the strands. Their number must be at least four and no more than eight. They are fastened with the help of pins, but so that at the right moment they can be easily reached.
- Further, according to the instructions mix all the ingredients from the set. You can start to paint from absolutely any place, gently pulling the strand.
- Once the strand has been completely colored, it must be wrapped in foil, carefully closing it. It is very important that the material does not open.
- Coloring can be done even near the roots, even on the tips.
- The last step - the exposure of the paint on the hair necessary time, as a rule, it is indicated in the instructions. It usually does not exceed 50 minutes. Nevertheless, for different colors will be different times, because blond hair dyed much faster than dark. It is easy to follow the degree of staining - it is enough just to slightly open the foil and look at the result.
Care
Despite the fact that this procedure does not carry much complexity, we should not forget about the basic rules of care. First of all, specialized shampoo and balm are purchased, which can be found in pharmacies or in cosmetic stores.
You can also take care of hair masks. They are able to strengthen the hair and make it even more smooth and shiny. It is recommended to give preference to masks from natural products.
Require special attention to the ends of the hair, because they, as a rule, suffer the most. They will also need special masks or decoctions based on medicinal herbs.
Making double highlighting is much easier than it might seem at first glance. The main thing is to take into account all possible features and contraindications, as well as to choose suitable shades. If you do everything right, the hairstyle will look truly amazing, and its owner will be fresh and transformed.
