Hair tip dyeing: features and technique

If you know a few secrets, then it is quite easy to make fashionable and modern coloring of the tips even by yourself, at home. For this you need the most common and affordable materials. In our article we will consider the basic techniques and principles of such toning.

A few years ago, regrowing hair roots was considered to be a mauve and a sign of bad taste. Nowadays, stylists have beaten everything so that the difference in shades in the root zone and at the tips has become an integral part of the modern trend - the main thing is that the painting technique is properly observed. As a rule, smooth transitions from dark to light are created on the strands, and as a result, the effect of curls faded to the sun appears.

Usually the technique involves the use of 2-4 shades, so that the gradient looks as natural and harmonious as possible. However, many women of fashion paint their tips in bright contrasting colors that differ sharply from the shade of native hair - this option is optimal for bold and daring girls who want to stand out from the crowd in everything.

Coloring the tips allows you to create both feminine images and the most outrageous. At the same time, coloring at home practically has no limitations on the part of the compositions used and the set of tools - the choice of means for painting today is so great that any woman can always choose the best option for herself, taking into account the peculiarities of the structure of the strands.

Coloring the tips has a lot of advantages.

• Versatility. This technique is used for hair of any type: thin and dense, thick and hard, wavy and straight. Perhaps the only contraindication to staining is increased fragility and straightening of the strands - in this case, after the procedure, they will become even drier, and instead of spectacular overflow of color, you will get a faded dry washcloth on your head. Agree, very few people will like this option. That is why before resorting to coloring, it is necessary to treat the hair with the help of nourishing masks and get rid of the sick ends.
• Save time and money. The fact is that as the hair grows, the difference between the native and the colored area doesn’t strike the eye for quite a long time, so this hairstyle needs to be corrected no more than once every 3 months, which allows you to save a lot of money on applying to a stylist or buying coloring for coloring the house.
• Using a wide variety of tools for painting. There are no recommendations for coloring compositions: it can be a durable paint, tinting balm, or such natural ingredients as basma and henna. Some women even color their hair with beetroot and carrot juice, while others make a choice in favor of food dyes and wax crayons. However, the latter option is classified as temporary.
• If you don’t like the result, You can trim the bottom of the hair at any time without much damage to the length. It turns out that you are reliably insured against improper staining or poorly chosen color. This is very important if we are talking about medium and long curls.

Before proceeding to dyeing the tips in another color should be clearly represented, with the help of which you can toned hair.

If you only need dyeing for a while, for example, for some kind of festive event or for raising the mood, then you usually use colored crayons or mascara for hair. Crayons are visually similar to the most common chalk, they are a dry paint, they are easy to apply, but they are completely uneconomical - you have to spend quite a lot of dye to give the tips of the hair a rich shade.

A more convenient option is considered to be colored mascara, it gives a rich and bright color and lays smoother. Both crayons and mascara belong to the category of short-term products that are kept on the hair before the first washing of the head.

The color obtained with the help of tonics is slightly longer. However, they only give shade, not color, so they look good only on light curls. To create an elegant and flawless image in any situation, of course, resorted to staining with resistant paints. Usually use one of the following painting techniques.

This is a kind of coloring, which involves creating smooth transitions from one color to another on the hair. The gradient from dark to light is most often used, but the most creative women choose brighter solutions, limiting the color palette to their own imagination. As a rule, the coloring begins, retreating from the root zone by 4-5 cm.

The technique is suitable only for those young ladies who prefer femininity and naturalness - here it is supposed to create the effect of the tips burnt out in the hot sun. No contrasting juicy tones are unacceptable here - all shades are sustained in a natural range, and differ from the native color by no more than 3 tones. The balayazh technique is considered to be one of the most benign; it injures hair less than others.

Another way to brighten the ends of the hair in one or more shades is called shatush. The technique has much in common with the ombre and balayazhem, but here the transition of shades should have a rather blurry, but still pronounced border.

This is a way of coloring for the most courageous women who are not afraid of any beauty experiments. The basis is the use of acid, poisonous shades and unexpected gradients. Among young girls, this method of coloring curls is the most popular.

The choice of technique depends not only on personal preferences - it also needs to take into account the peculiarities of the hair. For example, balayazh can be performed on both short and long hair, but shatush is suitable only for owners of curls below shoulder level. Both methods are suitable for curly hair, while ombra requires a smooth head.

With all the variety of color palette and coloring techniques, there are only two types of coloring of the tips - this is classic and color.

In the first performance, two basic tones are used: darker at the roots, and the other, rather light, at the tips. However, in recent years, owners of curls of medium shades, for example, light brown or dark blond, can either brighten the tips or give them slightly darker shades.

Color coloring is much richer and more varied. It uses from 3 to 20 tones. As a result, you can create a soft and smooth play of color, the effect of faded strands or glare, reminiscent of the play of light in your hair.

To make the colored tips look fashionable, you need to choose the right shade here it is important to observe the fine line that separates a perfect image from carelessness.

• Women with light brown hair, pale skin and light eyes can recommend staining the tips in cold shades: platinum, ashy or pearl.
• Girls with dark skin and dark eyes, and also brown-haired women should prefer dark, wheat and amber colors.
• If native hair is initially dark, then use cognac, copper and bronze notes.
• As for contrasting shades, there are no rules for their choice. The only advice is to ensure that the design of the strands corresponds to the general style of the woman and the peculiarities of her pastime.

If you are determined to dye the ends of your hair, you should prepare your curls in advance. Keep in mind that even the most benign dyes are aggressive chemical compounds and can injure hair, especially if they are in a weakened state. Please note that when bleaching the tips, in most cases a preliminary discoloration of the strands is required, therefore such procedures can cause dryness of the curls and section of the tips. To avoid such problems, the hair should be given additional nutrition in the form of masks containing oils, keratins and vitamin-mineral complexes.

For self-painting at home you need to prepare:

• paint the right shades;
• tanks for dilution of the composition;
• an oxidizer - if preliminary clarification of hair is required;
• brush or sponge;
• comb with a sharp separator;
• brush;
• clamps for strands;
• foil;
• rubber gloves and cape.

If the hair has a naturally dark color or has previously been dyed, then you first need to lighten it. When you need clarification on a couple of tones, you can use a 3-6% oxidizer, and if you need a more substantial leaching of pigment, then here preference should be given supre. For maximum clarification, oxidizing agents with a 9% concentration are used.

Deciding on coloring in the style of ombra, you need to choose at least two primary colors. For women who prefer bright and saturated tones, such colors as fuchsia and purple, as well as coral or crimson will be optimal. However, each woman can always choose different color combinations depending on their own tastes.

The sequence of actions when performing such staining includes several steps:

1. first you should put a darker shade on the root zone;
2. the composition is kept for about 10 minutes, after which the same paint is gently applied to the hair to the middle of the strand, without touching the tips;
3. For the rest of the length, apply light paint and wrap the hair with foil;
4. having sustained the composition for a specified time, it should be washed off with shampoo;
5. after thorough rinsing, apply conditioner balm on dyed hair;
6. if desired, you can smudge the transitional tone between dark and light areas, while you need to slightly “feather” the border so that the gradient is softer.

In this design, the color of the tips is very different from the color of the main shovel. Thanks to this decision, the tone is spectacular, and any woman can emphasize her individuality.

Step by step instructions on how to perform staining balazhig home looks like this.

1. Highlight the conditional center of the strands horizontally, and apply light paint on the bottom, then wrap the individual strands with foil.
2. After 10-15 minutes with a comb, brush the paint down. This will ensure smooth color transitions. Then wrap in foil again and wait another 20-25 minutes.
3. When the time comes, the foil should be unrolled, the hair should be rinsed with shampoo and conditioner applied.

For short and medium curls, the technique is slightly different - in this case, the hair is divided into strands, well combed, and with a brush applied paint, starting from the tips and moving to the middle. If you do not have experience with such staining, try to apply the ink paste with your fingers. To do this, hands are dipped in a container with paint and light, with “pinching” movements distributed over the curls.

Similar coloring allows to carry out the most courageous experiments with appearance. Usually blondes resort to such tinting - they cover the tips with paint of more bright shades: blue, red or marsh. The technique of work in this case is no different from ombre, with the exception that the basic dark tone does not need to be applied to the root zone.

A very effective way to look perfect in any situation is the coloring of the ends of the hair, and the difference between them and the root zone can be both smooth and sharp. Such coloring goes to blondes, brunettes, and even women with red hair.

Most often, transitions from dark to white are used, but in recent years, painting the tips in pink, magenta, violet, blue and red hues has become increasingly popular.
