Among the modern techniques of fashionable hair dye is not easy to choose the one that suits you. All of them differ in the principle of execution, the number of tones used, the degree of hair lightening and other characteristics. In this article we will consider this type of coloring as shatush, and specifically: the use of this technique for dyeing dark hair.
Some believe that dark hair can not give such beautiful modulations, like curls of blond shades. In fact, thanks to the use of innovations in hairdressing, even brunettes can get the effect of sun glare on their hair. The "trick" of the Shatush technique is precisely this. This is just a godsend for dark-haired beauties who do not want to expose their curls to full lightening, all the more so as to achieve ideal results in this matter is not easy. This is especially true for girls of exotic blood, who by nature have tough, black as pitch black curls.
Features
To begin with we will tell about shatusha as about equipment in general. It is based on the distribution in strands of several related shades — usually four. At the same time the darkest tones fall to the roots, and the light ones to the tips. The master has relative freedom - he can retreat from the roots to a different distance, take more or less hair. The result can be corrected after four months, while a return visit will take no more than an hour. This is convenient, given that you do not need to carefully monitor the growth of roots.
Advantages and disadvantages
The benefits of staining are a pretty impressive list. Here are its main advantages:
- the distribution of colors is not clearly demarcated, so the result looks very natural and harmonious;
- with natural background color, there is no need to tint the roots often;
- neat hair;
- effect of additional volume;
- relatively short performance (hour);
- masking gray hair;
- gives a beautiful effect sunburned strand.
The disadvantages of this technique are relative and may seem to some people not as flaws, but rather as its features:
- not suitable for too short hair;
- if the main color is noticeably different from the natural color, then it will be necessary to refresh the color monthly;
- high price in salons.
How to decide on a touch?
To choose the most appropriate color, the colorist must take into account your natural color, curl structure, color and peculiarities of your previous dye, if the shade of the hair is changed. Check out who the hairdressers advise what color accents:
- if the hair has a rich black color, then strands of chocolate and nut tones will suit you;
- Brunettes, whose hair is slightly lighter than in the first paragraph, can experiment with copper, caramel, nut, wheat, gold;
- dark-red girls will be fine with strands of beige, bright red, copper, gold and salmon flowers.
Owners of hair of the above colors are recommended to use non-strong oxide - 3–6% for fine hair, and 9–12% for hard.

Staining technique
To make a shatush on dark hair in two ways, we will tell about them further.
With fleece
The brighter the effect you want to get, the stronger you need to comb your hair.
- The hair is divided into strands with a thickness of 1.5-2 centimeters. The paint is applied from the back of the head, and the rest is fixed with clips.
- Each strand is combed from the roots and covered with the composition, but this is done as if in a superficial way so that the color goes to the glare. Short neat and fairly intense strokes should not touch the roots. As you can see, it is not so easy to make such coloring - it is a whole art. Therefore, colorists who know their business are so valued, and they usually get there only by appointment.
- When each strand is colored, you need to wait an average of about half an hour, the time depends on the paint and the specific case.
No hair
This method of coloring also involves the option of combing brushing, which is simply dipped in the paint and carried through the hair. With the seeming simplicity of the method, it is better to apply it to experienced specialists. Generally, without combing it, making shatush is somewhat more difficult.
The general principle remains the same as in the previous version, but since the strands do not be combed, you need to do the effect of brush strokes yourself.
To do this, the master tries to apply each stroke in such a way that at the beginning and at the end it is less bright and blends as much as possible with the rest of the hair.
Care after the procedure
Shatush is a gentle method of coloring, but it can also damage your hair with frequent use. Therefore, after visiting the salon for the hair requires special care.
- That is why even doing coloring, it is important to choose a good shampoo and conditioner. Purchase these two products from the same series, designed for hair with highlighting. Many companies have a line specifically for not fully dyed, but colored hair.
- Do not neglect additional hair care products. You do not need to buy expensive cosmetics from luxury cosmetics; you can make spa treatments for your hair out of scrap products. Traditionally they use honey, eggs, kefir, herbal infusions, fruits. In addition, homemade cosmetics is considered more useful than those produced in laboratories.
- Less use curling irons and irons, and when washing, try to adjust the water to a warm mode, not hot.
- In hot weather, cover your head with hats, bandanas or caps, try not to stay for a long time under the scorching sun without a hat. Sea water is undesirable in the first days after dyeing, and, in general, it is always better to clean hair under a plastic cap so that the color does not lose its brightness too quickly.
- After your hair is decorated with a stylish shatush, it is a good idea to undergo a wellness procedure like mesotherapy. For more shine you can do lamination or keratin.
- You can use products with silicone that can protect your hair from external influences, especially if yours is prone to breakage.
- If you are going to try to make shatush, then it is useful to spend a little training. 3 weeks before the procedure, do not dye your hair; treat them with healthy masks. And even drink a course of beauty vitamins and reduce to a minimum the thermal effect of irons and hair dryers. It is better to have a haircut before the procedure, and not after it. The day before the visit to the salon do not wash your hair, it will help to achieve a better result.
Who is suitable?
Choosing one or another method of coloring, it is not enough to rely on favorite photos from the Web or examples of girlfriends.It is important to take into account the peculiarities of your hair, such as their general condition, structure, natural color and hairstyle preferences. Find out what hair will perfectly match the color in the style of shatush.
Length
Optimal for dyeing are medium and long hair. On them glare and play of shades, really, will play. To reveal all the richness of color on the haircuts in short will be difficult. Of course, for experienced hairdressers nothing is impossible, and they can try to do it, even if you have a square or an elongated bob, but the result will not be as spectacular. A garcon owner, for example, will have to opt for a different coloring technique.
As for the bangs, it does not hurt to do the coloring shatush on the hair. Usually, it simply remains unchanged, and the strands themselves begin on the hair where its length ends. The only thing that a hairdresser can do is add a couple of barely noticeable strands two lighter in it.
Structure
Wavy hair is simply created for creative colors, which are based on the game of highlights. The main thing that the hairdresser was able to tame the obstinate hair during the procedure. And still it is necessary to take into account that they are usually more porous in structure, and this affects the dwell time of the paint and the selection of the concentration of the oxidizer. Good care products will also be needed so that the curls really shine with health, and you can demonstrate them in all their glory. If you fall into the hands of an experienced colorist, then you can be sure that he knows all the details of the process, and you can safely entrust him with your curls.
Straight hair is also suitable for creating a shatusha, even in the daily version without a curl, and if you twist it for a solemn occasion, the result will be very impressive.
Density
The pomp of the hair does not play a role; this type of coloring will suit both thick and sparse hair. The latter will look just gorgeous through the use of several colors at once. Hair will begin to seem more voluminous and expressive.
Dyed hair
As we have already found out, natural hair color will only benefit from the color of the strands. But more often than not, girls who want to try creative coloring methods have already dyed their hair more than once. In this case, it is necessary to take into account a number of points.
- No need to do it on hair painted with basma or henna. It would seem that natural paints harm hair less, and there are only advantages in their use. But these natural dyes can react inadequately to the synthetic composition, and as a result you risk getting strands of green or simply incomprehensible color.
- After dyeing in shades of black or even dark blond hair, you will have to lighten and use tint.
