Features of the procedure
Translated from French, the new staining technique is called "brushstroke". This is a less traumatic and more delicate method to freshen up your curls compared to the classic dyeing option.
The strands are adjusted and painted by hand, as a result, the effect of curls burnt out in the sun is created.
The main advantage of this color is that the overgrown roots are not so noticeable, they seem to fit into the overall hairstyle in a natural way. Ideal for girls with lightening.
Balayazh will not damage the naturally soft and naturally thin strands. Moreover, the correct technique will give them a thicker and more well-groomed look.
Features of the technique:
- it does not require prior discoloration;
- affects only some parts and creates the effect of natural, burnt out shades;
- Reduces damage because no infrared lamp or foil is used.
The main principle is to play on a smooth transition of shades. As a result, balayage gives several visual effects at once:
- the face becomes narrower;
- large cheeks are hidden;
- great option for the first staining;
- changes the image without drastic measures;
- suitable regardless of age, and makes mature women visually a couple of years younger;
- additional volume is noticeable in the hair;
- helps to correct unsuccessful staining.
After applying a dark color, to return to a natural blonde, it is recommended to apply a slight lightening of the ends along with the lightening in question for some time. So the return will not be cardinal and will happen gradually, and for others it will not be noticeable at all.
The new type of staining is convenient because it is enough to carry out it once every 4-6 months. All this time, the hair will look well-groomed and beautiful.
Special attention to the proposed hairstyle should be paid to the owners of the "cascade" haircut.
We select a shade
There are several varieties of this technique. Depending on the desire, the structure of the strands, the natural color, you can choose your own tone and severity of the transition:
- a bright transition, usually made to dark shades and a bright, unusual color is used as a contrast, for example, blue or green;
- clear transition - balayazh implies a smooth border between painted and natural colors, but in some cases it is permissible to make a clear line;
- soft transition - the difference does not exceed 2-3 tones.
The most popular balayage tones include:
- Blond. Perfect for natural blondes.
- Ashen. A good solution for owners of fair skin, gray or blue eyes, as well as with natural blonde and light brown hair.
- Gray-haired. A bold decision for young girls and older ladies.
- Wheat. Most relevant for women with lightening.
- Caramel.More suitable for owners of dark hair.
- On light chestnut and fair-haired ladies, a golden hue looks great.
- Purple. Another positive bold option for fair-haired ladies.
- The 20129 trend is pink balayage for light colors.
When choosing a shade, you need to pay attention to the following criteria:
- Length of natural hair. Looks best on the strands below the shoulder blades, but it is suitable for any length of size.
- Natural color. Be sure to consider when choosing a shade, since the classic version should not differ by more than 3 tones.
- The type of curls. It is necessary to take into account not only straight or wavy strands, but also their density.
If you do this procedure in the salon, it is important to find a master who can do exactly the desired effect, since there are few professional masters and, as a result, a woman is often disappointed with the result.
On short hair
If you combine the fashionable dyeing technique with a square, this will give the face a roundness and softness in shape. The result is a sophisticated look, a truly feminine person, despite the short hairstyle.
It is worth paying attention to this procedure in the following cases:
- the girl has a neat hairstyle that can be emphasized. If done on a sloppy square, it will look exactly the same as unpainted roots;
- the lady grows her hair and it is necessary to hide the contrast between the dyed and unpainted parts of the long strands.
If, at the same time, the curls have suffered from frequent chemical perms, then it is better to abandon the process, since it can give short, damaged strands additional fragility and fragility.
Several stylish options:
On long and medium
Not very long strands are perfect for such a process, the effect will be as follows:
- will emphasize the hairstyle, highlight individual strands;
- will make the hair brighter and more noticeable;
- will give thin strands of medium length additional splendor.
Ideal for long hair. The hair turns out to be airy, lush and light. The appearance will be stylish regardless of the circumstances and the hairstyle is suitable both for special events and for everyday life, especially since there will be no need to go to the hairdresser every month or week.
A woman will receive the very "zest" that will attract a huge number of enthusiastic looks.
On wavy
Wavy hair will give the opportunity to play with tones and give the hairstyle a special interesting look.
This play of light and color makes a woman shine and rejuvenates her by 2-3 years. This is a special hairstyle with a certain volume and light waves.
And here are the options:
With a bang
For owners of bangs, balayazh will add playfulness and romance to the image. Ideal for middle-aged women and young girls.
The paint should not contrast with the natural tone. Then the result will look natural and well-groomed.
Step-by-step instruction
Experts do not recommend carrying out balayage at home if there is not enough experience in staining. But for women who have enough experience in caring for their curls, this procedure will not seem difficult. It is enough to carefully read the step-by-step instructions and start working on yourself.
If possible, invite your girlfriend, mother, sister. They will be able to see if the strands are evenly colored and if there are any missing areas. Then the result will not differ from the salon one.
The first rule is that the procedure should be carried out on unwashed hair. So natural natural fat will help protect curls from excessive chemical exposure to aggressive substances. You need to wash your curls only if they have styling compounds, for example, mousse or foam. Hair for the procedure must be dry.
The algorithm for carrying out the procedure at home is as follows:
- The strands must be divided into working areas. Those that will not be stained must be secured with hairpins or clips. The comb used for coloring must be of any material other than metal. Metal enters into a chemical reaction with paint, and the result of the procedure can be unpleasantly surprising.
- The composition for coloring should not contain ammonia, if it is an oxide, then the best option is 3%.
- Use a comb to separate a small strand and place a piece of foil under it. It is necessary to apply the solution in V-shaped movements, and wrap each strand with foil. The last point is optional, because if you do not use foil, then the border between dyed and unpainted strands will be less noticeable, which will add naturalness to the result. It is also necessary to avoid cellophane caps and other types of insulation.
- So carefully and carefully process all the curls. It is important not to miss anything and when processing make uniform movements in the direction from the ends to the roots. In this case, it is necessary to pour about 5 cm from the beginning of hair growth.
- It is necessary to finish the application at different levels, since this will make the shade look more natural. Indeed, in nature, they do not fade at exactly the same height, as in a ruler.
- Then you should wait for the time indicated in the instructions for using the dye solution. Usually it is no more than half an hour, sometimes 20 minutes is enough.
- Unroll the foil gently and rinse off the paint.
At the last stage, you need to delicately dry your hair and style it to make your hairstyle look even more well-groomed.
For a more expressive result, experts recommend using two shades that differ from each other by no more than half a tone.
Secrets of proper care
After the procedure, to maintain a healthy look and shine, the curls will require constant care. The secret of this technology is that as soon as you stop caring for it, it turns into ugly, overgrown tips that look just vulgar, sloppy. Plus, the effect of the dye composition also harms the hair. Therefore, you should provide them with regular, thorough care.
It is advisable to start leaving before the procedure itself. It is recommended to make masks with nourishing oils a week before. This will heal the material and prepare it for clarification.
When washing, you need to use only special products after staining.
It is also recommended to carry out the following operations:
- regular masks especially for the ends;
- when using a curling iron or ironing, be sure to apply thermal protection;
- tip care experts advise choosing a product with silicone;
- protect the gorgeous result from the effects of frost and ultraviolet radiation, so that they are healthy, and the paint lasts as long as possible.
It is not worth doing a perm for a while to allow damaged curls to recover after lightening. If you do everything at once, then the strands will take on a dull and brittle look, which obviously will not give the woman charm and interest.
After dyeing, you can tint your hair using special tonal shampoos or mousses.
