Background
Surely, each of you, lovely women, at least once spent a long-awaited vacation on the seashore, surrounded by palm trees and sun loungers. And how many glossy magazines have you leafed through. From the pages of fashionable periodicals, sultry beauties constantly looked at you, posing against the backdrop of the blue ocean or snow-white sand. A gorgeous tan made you feel jealous, and amazing hair, in which the rays of the sun play, creating incredible combinations of shades on the curls, aroused admiration and surprise. But, as you know, progress does not stand still, and now, in order to achieve such an effect, girls do not need to overcome the fear of long airplane flights and lie for hours on a sun lounger in a hot country. This, of course, is very good, but sometimes there is simply not enough time for a vacation. Now you just need to sign up for your favorite beauty salon and go through the booking procedure.
The term "brond" is essentially a combination of words that characterize the sophisticated collection of opposites such as blondes and brunettes. This method will certainly appeal to women with dark blond and chestnut hair, who do not want to radically change their image, but who dream of being a real porcelain doll with blond strands for at least a little bit. Modern stylists have already mastered this simple science and learned how to create incredible combinations of warm and cold, passionate and restrained shades. The successful result of such creations should be a hair of natural tones, which always looks natural, as if nature itself has worked on women's curls. And the main thing, perhaps, is the incredible volume created by solar overflows.
What it is?
The technique itself today is nothing more than an actual and demanded super trend in the art of hairdressing. Its uniqueness lies in the following: on long strands, the intricacy of shades creates an amazing effect of volume and density, and on short strands - a visual feeling of insolence and mischief. In either case, the result looks very stylish and original.
Advice!The color of brondes (from the English "blond" and "brown") is not a monochromatic color. This is a unique interweaving of tones, so some equate this technology with one of the branches of highlighting.
Advantages and disadvantages
As in any other case, staining has a number of advantages and disadvantages. To get you a complete picture of the situation, we will try to show you both sides of the coin. Let's start with the positives:
- Thanks to this technique, a woman's appearance is instantly transformed, the skin takes on a radiant appearance, and the years that have passed are visually erased.
- Haircuts look thicker, fuller and richer.
- Doing the bronzing procedure several times, each lady has the opportunity to say goodbye to chemical dyes and grow natural hair.
- The effect lasts for a very long time, and the need to tint the roots is very rare.
- This is especially beneficial for women of mature age. So you can solve the problem of the appearance of gray hair.
Existing negative points
- Certain dyes can cause allergic reactions, so a sensitivity test should be done by your stylist prior to application.
- Coloring should not be carried out on worn out and weakened curls, as well as after a perm.
- Owners of curly hair are also not recommended to carry out such a procedure, the overflow of shades will simply not be noticeable.
Distinctive features
It so happened that recently a large number of techniques have been created, which are based on partial or complete coloring in several shades at once. Some masters (yes, you heard right, specialists of the first category working in domestic beauty salons) still confuse bronding with French highlighting or ombre. Let's take a look at the differences and similarities.
It has already been said that in all these cases, the basis is a mixture of colors, sometimes even contrasting and not similar to each other. But unlike highlighting, where lightening compositions are used, bronde staining involves the application of more gentle dyes, because the highlighted curls differ from the rest by only 3-4 tones.
Compared to ombre, it's still easier here. With the help of this technique, a contrast transition is carried out, that is, the length of the strand from the middle of the ear to the tips is usually exposed to the effect. And in the case of the technique we are discussing, the transitions are almost invisible to the untrained eye. Such combinations create an incredible volume and splendor on a woman's head, the hairstyle acquires lightness and weightlessness.
As for the process itself, it has absorbed all the subtleties of open and classic highlighting. By the way, modern stylists do not want to leave everything in its original form, and are actively developing various types of bronzing.
Application technology
Before going to a beauty salon, you need to carefully consider every detail. Of course, a coloring specialist will give you the advice you need, but the choice will entirely rest on your shoulders. Therefore, first decide on a base color. Bronding looks very beautiful with chocolate, light chestnut, light and dark blond and copper tones. If you have previously painted your hair, and the shade has not yet washed off, make sure that there are no differences and discrepancies in the palette along the entire length. Also, you must be completely sure that it is in harmony with your appearance. Next, think over the amount and tone of paint, which will be used to process individual parts.
Advice! The main thing here is not to overdo it. It will be enough to dwell on three or four options, otherwise there is a risk of creating a multi-colored miracle.
Currently, the easiest way to achieve the desired result is to use foil. The stylist divides all of your hair into several sections, namely: bangs (if any), parietal part, sides and back of the head. Light compositions are applied first to the strands of the occipital region, while the brush touches the curl not in the root zone, but with a slight indentation. This is necessary to achieve a natural and natural effect.To visually increase the density, the top layer of the hairstyle is also processed.
Advice! When staining, as you already know, several coloring compositions are used at once, but this does not happen in stages, but immediately.
Now let's move on to the open highlighting technique. Most of the areas have already been processed, it remains only to choose the strands, which play the role of additions to the overall picture. Experienced stylists now have hundreds of interesting options to offer.
In general, if you carefully read this section, you probably realized that there is no complexity in the technique. However, coloring at home may not bring the desired result due to inaccuracy or lack of experience and skills in highlighting or coloring. Treat this kind of amateur performance with great caution. But if you do decide, we will cover the topic of home booking later.
Types and varieties
Classic. Assumes coloring in dark or light colors (depending on individual characteristics). So fair-haired ladies should pay attention to the palette of pearl or platinum, and brown-haired women - copper and honey.
- Zonal. The lower layer of hair remains solid and practically untouched, only the upper part is exposed. Slight darkening in the root zone is allowed.
- With ombre effect. As the name implies, the technology involves the fusion of two methods, but here the number of compounds used will be greatly increased. It is also called an overgrown bronde. In such cases, careless lightness in the hairstyle is the result of long and painstaking work.
Features of home experiments
Naturally, to the question "Is it possible to achieve the desired result with the hands of a self-taught or a beginner?" without exception, all stylists will loudly answer their categorical "No!" Not a single friend of yours, if she, of course, does not have the appropriate knowledge and skills, will be able to achieve a salon effect. However, it is still worth a try, if, of course, you are already in the mood for it.
To begin with, it's worth thinking about the base. If you are a blonde, some curls will need to be darkened, brunettes - lightened. Next, select auxiliary compositions that will differ from the original color by three to four tones. Step back from the roots a couple of centimeters and in a chaotic manner paint over the strands with different mixtures.
The cost of the procedure
In today's price lists in different beauty salons, the price for such "manipulations" ranges from 2 to 7 thousand rubles. Such a high cost is due to the fact that several harmless compounds are used in the process at once. Also, the "origin" of paints and the length of the "mane" play an important role.
Summing up
Bronding is a versatile and fairly practical type of staining. When he first appeared, many experts predicted a long life for him, because his main purpose is the possibility of a bright transformation from a blonde to a brunette and vice versa without global changes in the image. It can also be considered an excellent solution for those who are tired of constantly maintaining an unnatural tone of their hair and growing a natural color. A defining feature is the fact that very busy girls may not correct the existing state of their hairstyle for a long time. Due to the fact that the roots remain intact during the procedure, a slight regrowth of several centimeters will not be conspicuous.
At the end of the article, I would like to note the following: professional colorists recommend that their clients, after staining, fix the result with biolamination. This will keep your hair fresh, shiny and silky for several months.
