Shatush coloring technique

To refresh the image, to give the hair a healthy look, experts offer fashionable highlighting techniques. One of these is shatush. Shatush coloring technique allows you to transform the appearance, while the hair looks natural, as if slightly burned out in the sun.

The essence of the technology is to create a smooth transition of shades from darker to light. This is achieved through stretching. This allows you to make your hair as natural as possible, to give your hair a well-groomed look and shine.

Shatush does not injure hair as much as other methods of dyeing, since it makes it possible to expose the hair less often to dyeing, and also with it, the boundaries of the transition of shades blurred gradually, which is not too noticeable. To refresh the image should be re-staining after 3 months. In addition, it reduces injuries. Any intervention - stress for the strands. Since the paint is not applied to the entire length and to separate areas, the damage is minimal.

The popularity of technology is due to other advantages. With the help of the Shatush can not only give vitality to the hair, but also increase their volume. The native color becomes more pronounced. In the presence of gray hair such highlighting allows you to safely hide it.

Shatush is performed without the use of foil or a cap, which allows you to give the strands a natural look. This is achieved through the interaction of paint with air in the process of dyeing. To make the hair look natural, gradation of shades occurs gradually. Get this result by applying paint on the combed strands. The roots remain intact, but if the owner does not like her color, you can first change the main tone.

For women with short hair, experts do not recommend using this technique, since it is impossible to convey the brightness of the transition of shades. In such cases, such highlighting is confused with ombre. In this case, painted using the technique of shatush, will make its owner younger and fresher.
