Features of the Ashen Shatusha

Ash is called the cold shade of light-brown hair. Such a color is not “one's own”, that is, it is not natural. However, this color gives brightness to any hair. Actual now is the coloring of curls in ashen color. The technology of such coloring is called ashy shatush and represents toning of locks. As a result, the color is lively and saturated, the hair has a texture, and the image, for all its apparent negligence, acquires notes of aristocracy.

Ash Shatush is a technology of dyeing, which allows you to color individual strands of hair in light and dark tones of the same color. This technique is designed to create the effect of sun-bleached hair. Strands are colored chaotically, which, on the one hand, allows to achieve a visual smoothness of transitions, and on the other - creates the effect of pseudo-negligence, which is now at the peak of fashion.

Ashy shatush gives the hair a visual volume, revives and refreshes the base hair color, emphasizes the individuality of their owner.

And balayazh, and blondirovanie, and shatush, and ombre are techniques partial coloring of hair. And although they have a lot of differences, the result is similar - it is dark roots and light hair ends.

Let's designate briefly, than these technicians differ.

• Balayazh or, as it is also called, the stretching of color, allows you to achieve the most smooth transition from dark to light. In the balayazh technique, the ends are painted at 2/3 of the entire length of the strand.
• When blonding thin locks painted in similar colors of the same tone. This allows you to achieve the effect of the utmost naturalness and revive the color. This technique is often used to dye gray hair.
• Shatush designed to get the effect of faded hair from the sun. Moreover, the longer the hair, the more effective this technique will look.

In general, this method of dyeing is quite versatile, since neither the features of the texture nor the degree of density of the curls play a role - the ashen shatush is suitable for all hair types.

Regarding the base color - it is not recommended to dye curls in ashy shades to carriers of fiery hair. That is, ashen shatush not suitable for red and red shades, as well as for owners of warm skin tone. Ash shades are good on a cold genotype, as they advantageously emphasize the natural beauty of pale skin.

The advantages of this technique include the following.

• Minor damage to hair (compared to dyeing the entire length). This is an obvious plus, because the clarifier is not applied to the roots.
• Emphasizes the depth of the natural color, making it brighter and more interesting, as if shading.
• Creates the effect of volume.
• Perfectly hides gray hair. The cold shades of the blond merge with the gray hairs, and even if such a shade appears at the roots, it looks like part of the image.
• Natural look.Hair with this color look as natural as possible, there is no wig effect.
• The absence of the effect of regrown roots, as in this case they are simply imperceptible. Hair can maintain a well-groomed appearance up to 3 months (with proper care).

The disadvantages include such moments as:

• the complexity of coloring, i.e. the impossibility of creating this effect at home, requires a trip to the salon;
• not suitable for everyone, as it makes the face very expressive, focusing on all its strengths and weaknesses, that is, girls with skin problems should not choose this method of coloring;
• hair needs special care, without which the shatush effect will quickly lose its brightness.

Plus coloring in the technique of ash shatush on straight hair is that it gives them lightness and volume. However, it is important to correctly place accents. It must be remembered that when dyeing straight hair using the shatush method, you can not do without the use of a fleece, otherwise all blunders and flaws will be visible.

Curly hair is the perfect shatush canvas. On them, it looks natural and beautiful. Curls are arranged chaotically, so the shades of dark and light are particularly clearly visible. If the curls are tight enough, then you can not do the comb. Curly hairs themselves are more porous in structure, therefore they take paint more quickly, which allows reducing the time of dyeing.

As noted earlier, owners of extremely short haircuts will not be able to use shatush dyeing. But this does not preclude its use on short haircuts in general. Shatush is great on a bob haircut with lengthening.

Dark hair, dyed by the method of shatush, look more bright and expressive than light. Shatush for short and very light hair involves a mandatory consultation with a specialist, so choosing the right tone is much more difficult.

Brown-haired girls can choose the same shades as the owners of blond color, since all these combinations look natural and do not create a conflict between the basic shade and the color of curls. But when choosing a color you can not forget about the color of the skin. Cold tones of products for coloring are suitable for fair skin. Owners of a darker skin are more suited to golden shades.

Burning brunettes are recommended ashen-brown or any other dark tones with a gray tint. This choice is equally good on both black hair and chocolate or coffee strands. Strands in this case do not need much light, it will save their health. This combination perfectly emphasizes the depth of the brown eyes.

In order to create a shocking image on dark hair, the master can offer to opt for brighter shades - it can be blue or purple or even red. In this case, the hair roots are painted in the darkest variation of the selected shade, and the ends gradually turn into a light tone of the same color.

In general, the darker the base tone of the hair, the brighter and more interesting effects you can create. A certain role is also played by the amount of clarifier in the paint and the waiting time. The higher the concentration and the longer the time that the paint will affect the hair, the brighter the result will be.

However, it should not be forgotten that the ashen shatusha technique itself creates the effect of burnt-out (and, therefore, dry) hair, so if they are dry by themselves, the ends are split and poured, then it is necessary to cut them off before dyeing and not wait. This applies equally to dark and fair hair.

It is better to owners of fair-haired and fair hair to choose the gray shade. This is especially true for older women, this color will look fresh on them.On the blond and light strands the color of pearl and platinum blond looks great. At the same time, the contrast will not be so bright, but such coloring will revive the hair, refresh the complexion and emphasize the expressiveness of the eyes.

Very young girls can be less careful in this respect and feel free to experiment even with the color of gray hair, which looks exceptionally bold and relevant.

The ash brown color can be dark, medium and light. The first is universal. This color is suitable for those who are afraid to harm the hair and does not strive for special brightness. This shade of ash will help diversify and refresh the hairstyle.

The average smoky-blond (or light ash) is also considered universal. Experimentation with various combinations of light brown shades with smoky tones helps to find the right combination for girls of a warm type, which is actually quite difficult. At the same time, for cold types, this tone is initially considered basic and irreplaceable in any variations. On dark hair, it is easy enough to achieve a shade of medium smoky, because it does not require total lightening.

Light ash-blond is a natural color for most Slav women, so cold light blond strands look natural on this color. Nevertheless, brown-haired women can also find a suitable tone of this shade. But black-haired girls are not recommended to choose light-brown colors, as a beautiful transition between them will not be possible.

The brightest of the various shades of the ashen shatush is the ash blond. It is important to take into account that choosing it, the gradient between the base color and between the lightened curls turns out to be clearer, but at the same time it looks bright and original. At the same time, bright eyes will become even colder and sparkling, and brown will be alluring and expressive due to the sharp contrast with light curls.

The gray tint is a rather courageous choice, which, however, suits almost everyone: both those who are young and insolent and those who want to hide their gray hair. It is rather difficult to achieve a gray tint, but it is worth it, since it looks aristocratic and at the same time bold.

In general, dyeing using the ash shatusha technique is possible on any hair color. At the same time, this type of dyeing looks best on dark-colored hair (all shades of chestnut, black, and dark blonde). But if you want a competent master can choose the right tone for the hair of any color. Not the last role is played by the length of the hair - the coloring in the technique of ash shatush is more profitable and looks interesting on long curls.
