Painting options
Black and white hair can look so different that it is sometimes difficult to determine the technique. It is recommended that you first select a few attractive options on your own, but to make the exact choice together with the master.
Consider the basic ways of transformation.
- Black hair with white highlights. Contrast strands literally rivet the views of others. You can make small feathers or fairly wide stripes. It all depends on the particular hair and appearance of a woman. The universality of this image is that it is relevant for long and short hair. Hairstyle requires regular updates, because regrown roots spoil the overall impression.
- White hair and black strands. Making such an image is pretty easy. Hair emphasizes the individuality of its owner. Black paint is applied in wide stripes. Cute and stylish image for women of any age. It is necessary to update regularly so that the grown hair does not spoil the overall look.
- Coloring the tips. The catchy and memorable image is perfect for young girls. Regularly update this hairstyle is not necessary. If staining gets tired, you can simply cut the ends.This image can be embodied at home. Effectively looks black ragged square with white feathers at the bottom or vice versa.
- Coloring the roots. The opposite effect in comparison with the previous version. The upper part of the hair is converted to the desired color. The hairstyle looks interesting, but you need to update it quite often. Regrown roots will look extremely bad. However, if you set a goal, you can specifically slightly release the length to change the image.
- Coloring bangs. Make strands can be both white and black, depending on the natural color. The first option is more suitable for dark girls, and the second - light. It is better to do the procedure in the cabin so that the colors are saturated and the lines neat.
- The effect of hair extensions. To create such an image, the lower part of the hair is dyed in a contrasting color. The most popular hairstyle is among young girls. It seems that the hair of the two colors are not interconnected. The procedure should be carried out by a professional.
- Horizontal staining. One of the boldest options for black and white hair. The master in the cabin makes the colored strands of the same or different width go one after the other. It looks quite extravagant, and accurately attract the attention of others. The big advantage is that regular updates can be avoided. Hair resembles the color of wild animals.
- Separation of hair in two parts. A good option for girls who want to express themselves. When coloring one side is made black, and the second - white. You need to update regularly, otherwise the whole charm will be lost.
How to paint strands?
If the natural hair color is black or dark, then it will be quite difficult to lighten the strands at home.
Repeated use of the oxidizer still does not guarantee that the color will not turn yellow. The best option would be to appeal to professionals.
The staining itself can be done using foil according to this instruction:
- carefully comb dry hair, divide them into zones;
- paint over the required number of strands on the back of the head;
- under the selected hair, spread out a piece of foil so as to get as close as possible to the roots;
- apply a bleaching agent (discoloration), and again carefully comb the strand;
- roll up the foil - first you need to fold in half, and then envelope;
- repeat actions with other strands that you want to whiten;
- wait until the product works and wash it off with copious amounts of warm running water;
- apply a balm or a mask for moisturizing and nourishing.
The algorithm is standard, however, some techniques suggest its modification.
Sometimes hair is dyed not from the root, but in pieces along the length.
Carrying out the procedure at home is problematic. Salons use tools that allow you to get the result the first time, and it is not always easy to buy them. Moreover, a professional will be able to choose the right hair care products that are inevitably injured during bleaching.
Care curls
Depending on the speed of hair growth, the procedure must be repeated. Usually staining produce once in 4-5 weeks. If the technique was used, in which the roots are not painted, then it can be repeated after 5-6 months. Hairstyle will look amazing all this time, if properly care for your hair.
Only individual strands are injured, so it is easy to maintain their health. It is important to carry out all the procedures regularly, using only quality means.
We list the main types of care.
- Cleansing. Use mild sulphate-free shampoo, the composition should not be silicone. Dust and grease will go away, and the structure of the hair and dye will remain in its original form.
- Treatment and recovery. Special masks should not contain oils that wash the paint. It is better to use professional products for the care of dyed blond hair.
- Maintain color. Need to consult with the master who produces staining. Use only those products that are recommended for your hair type.
Means to maintain the white color are needed to prevent yellowing. Usually they are recommended by the master taking into account the mass of nuances, including the make and color of the paint.
For the care will need several tools.
- Toning composition with oxide. The tool is applied immediately after highlighting, sometimes used after it after a while. Effective and durable compounds allow you to fix the shade.
- Toning balms without peroxide and ammonia in the composition. They are distinguished by a sparing action. They help to maintain whiteness without damaging the hair structure.
- Toning shampoos. The most convenient and common tools. It is quite difficult to use them for partial dyeing, because it is impossible to put on black hair. The washing process itself becomes long, about 5-10 minutes.
