In general, the coloring in the style of shatush is suitable for almost everyone.The problem is that for each individual shade of hair you need to select an individual dye. It is very important that all this is not only combined with each other, but also creates a transition.

The most successful for this technique are blond or brown hair.. For darker curls, California highlights are commonly used.

For older women, appliances are also acceptable, especially when it comes to painting gray hair. However, this is only relevant when it occupies no more than 30% of the total hair volume.

The choice of color when performing shatusha is a very important detail. In this case, you need to consult with the master.

When choosing a shade, factors such as hair length and natural color should be taken into account.

For dark-haired girls coloring with light colors is clearly not suitable. For them, it is recommended to take the tone closer to the chocolate or nut color. Also, caramel or copper tones will look pretty good.

Choose the right shade for red hair is very difficult. However, if you do everything right, the final result will be very pleased. For such a hairstyle will be relevant colors such as gold, bright red, copper, honey and others.

Blonde hair - not the best option for the shatusha. The problem is that it is very difficult to create clear transitions on such curls. However, by choosing the appropriate color, the wizard can create just an amazing hairstyle. For painting blond hair is best to focus on caramel, gold, ashen, wheat and other colors.

However, he still loses many advantages. For example, in contrast to the usual shatusha, color involves the use of bright and eye-catching colors, so the hairstyle completely loses its natural look.

It is best to exercise it on dark hair - there will fit a huge number of colors, for example, scarlet, blue, blue, all shades of pink or red and so on. Bright red, golden, red and even green colors are usually applied to red hair. For blond hair, all shades of pink, blue or red will be relevant.

As a rule, young girls resort to a color shatusha. Among adults, this technique is not seriously taken, especially if their place of work is an office or another institution where the dress code is set.

Another type of this technique is reverse shatush. Here, the hair is as bright as possible in the root zone, however, as it approaches the tips, it becomes darker and darker. This type is considered more benign, unlike the others, because a small part of the hair is lightened here. It all looks beautiful and natural, so you can and even need to do a reverse shatush.

Special attention requires the preparation of hair before painting, which should begin at least 2-3 weeks before its implementation.

The main measures of preparation include the following items.

• Regular application of moisturizing and regenerating masks. Hair coloring is a big stress, so before that they should be prepared as much as possible.
• Removing split ends.
• The last wash before the procedure should be 3-4 days. This is due to the fact that the substances contained in the shampoo are able to react with the dye, which will lead to the most unexpected results.
• It is also recommended to refuse styling products and various styling. The same goes for curly hair - no need to straighten them.
• Dyed hair should be painted in the base color, which will be performed shatush. All this is best done by the same master.
• Another important recommendation is a test for a possible allergic reaction.

As for the technology itself, it takes 1.5-2 hours, which is relatively little. It is divided into two main types, with and without a pile.

The very first thing that should be done, regardless of the type of painting chosen, is to prepare the necessary tools.

1. Coloring agent. It is recommended to stop the selection on the most famous brands. The selected color should differ from the natural one by literally several shades. It is possible to apply both natural dyes, and resistant chemical.

3. Utensils for mixing drugs. It is best to take a glass or plastic container. The use of metal is not recommended.
4. Hairpins or clothespins to secure the hair.
5. Hairbrush. Required to create a pile. Best of all, if it is scallop.

2. Now selected strands should be combed with a comb.
3. Then you can start the clarification - for this purpose, the clarifier is harvested in a special dish.

Depending on the base hair color, you must wait for the allotted time. As a rule, this stage does not take more than 30 minutes. Over time, the dye must be thoroughly rinsed with water.
5. If the result is suitable, then the work can be safely continued. If not, then the entire length of the hair must be distributed tinting dye.
6. After 15 minutes you can wash it off.
7. Now you need to apply a moisturizer - balm or hair mask. Keep the tool should be at least ten minutes, and after - wash.

2. Then in a random order paint is applied to the strands. In order to get smooth transitions, it needs to be shaded.
3. For some time, the paint is kept on the hair, and then carefully washed off. The time depends on the main color and structure of the hair.
4. If necessary, the curls can be further dyed tinting agent.
