What does it look like

Imagine a hairstyle with slightly curled strands that flow loosely over the shoulders. Dark, fair-haired, light - it doesn't matter. Bright highlights play in curls, curls seem voluminous, multifaceted, alive. Light strands flicker slightly in the total mass, shimmering with all shades of gold, silver, redhead or even light brown. Depends on the main shade.

This is exactly what Venetian lighting looks like. Not very contrasting, with soft chaotic transitions, receding from the roots to an arbitrary distance, shimmering as if hairs burnt out in the heat. It seems as natural as possible. As if the southern sun had gently brightened the naughty upper strands, unable to penetrate into the thick of the shock.

On a note! The technique owes its name to medieval Italian ladies who, in pursuit of beauty and youth, tried to give their hair an elegant look. They smeared their hair with squeezed lemon juice, or kefir, and sat for a long time on the roofs of houses under the scorching rays. As a result, some received a red color, others unevenly discolored curls, and others a barely noticeable blond effect on certain parts of the head. By the way, it is the last option that most closely resembles the subject of today's study.

Thanks to passionate Italians, the method is called Venetian, Mediterranean or even Italian. In fact, there are many similar techniques: california or Hollywood, ombre, shatush. What do you think is the difference?

How it differs from similar techniques

We propose to disassemble all identical methods of lightening the styling. This will help sort out the differences:

• What ombre? This is a smooth discoloration of the mop from the roots to the ends, with the paint being applied from about the middle of the length, from top to bottom. The finished effect resembles roots that have grown strongly after discoloration. To make everything look stylish and neat, the transition should be as smooth as possible, the color change line is blurry, in no case clear.
• Shatush - allows you to achieve the most natural look. When it is performed, the coloring composition is selected by only 2–4 tones, which differs from the main one.Sometimes they take several halftones and apply them alternating in random order. Contrasting colors, sharp color boundaries are excluded. The result is an almost monochromatic head of hair, with multi-tone, glittering overflows. It looks very natural and voluminous. The styling looks well-groomed and healthy.
• California or Hollywood coloring? Surely everyone has already guessed - this is the name of the same method. This is a soft and chaotic highlighting of individual curls all over the head. Most often done on fair-haired heads. The shades are whitish, without yellowness, even with a neon effect.
• The absolute trend today is silver palette... The gray scale is relevant. Correctly executed coloring looks exquisite and very gentle. But such a coloring is suitable only for fair-haired young ladies with fragile white skin. On dark-skinned brunettes, for some reason it turns out vulgar.

So, we gradually got to the Venetian highlights. Based on previous descriptions, it looks like a Hollywood one, doesn't it? Indeed, experienced stylists tend to consider it a kind of Californian technique, most often performed on a dark mop. However, it would be a mistake to think that blondes do not do the Italian highlighting of the curls. It has several characteristic details:

• Lack of symmetry. The hairs are taken completely at random. Different thicknesses, from different areas, are painted along the entire length or only in the middle. Balance is not maintained on the right and left, behind and in front. The master simply spreads the composition on the hair with a wide brush. At the same time, it is difficult to predict the result, and to plan the scale of lightening in advance.
• The paint is not applied from the roots. They retreat at least 1.5 - 2 cm, and do not observe this distance over the entire head. Somewhere they can retreat by 5–6 cm, or even process a strand from the middle.
• They try to choose more golden shades, because Mediterranean girls are most often dark-skinned brunettes. This means that when they burn out, their hair turns slightly red, sparkles with gold. That is why it is generally accepted that the procedure is more relevant for dark-haired, and the Californian method is recommended for blondes.

Advantages

Let's explore the advantages of the procedure, because it is not for nothing that it is so popular and in demand all over the world:

• Allows you to masterfully hide gray hair. Indeed, hairs that have lost their natural pigment are lost among the discolored ones. Become less visible.
• Multi-tone, shimmering undertones and play of colors create visual volume, which is actively used by women with thin hair.
• Light tongues and playful highlights add shine and shine to the styling.
• It turns out amazingly on blondes, and on brunettes, and on redheads, and on fair-haired ladies.
• Suitable for both young girls and mature women. The first adds playfulness, enthusiasm, and the second adds charm and youth.
• Since there is no need to maintain strict symmetry, observe clear contours and boundaries, and also no need to use foil, a hat and other paraphernalia, the procedure is easy to do at home.

Advice! Have you decided to try making Italian coloring yourself? For the first time, be sure to ask a friend to help apply the drug and distribute it evenly over the head. This is especially important if you are a brunette and your hair is dyed. Otherwise, the color will turn out to be uneven. You will look sleazy with white, red, gold and light brown strands instead of a pretty solid color.

Styling does not require monthly correction, special care and renewal. The roots can grow back as much as you want. The bow will not lose anything from this!

disadvantages

They are also available, we will not hide. Fortunately, this sub-item is much smaller than the previous one!

• You will inevitably use chemicals. Even modern products without ammonia with gentle elements still spoil the curls. To minimize harm, always use a beauty care product. Wash your hair with a suitable shampoo, brush regularly with a wooden brush, less often use a technique with thermal effects: hair dryer, curling iron, iron. Choose a good balm and conditioner, and have a spa treatment with nourishing masks and compresses a couple of times a week.
• The strands will become dry and unruly, the structure is porous. Try not to dry them with a hairdryer or curl with an iron for at least ten days to restore the surface.
• The method is not suitable for owners short hair... For correct execution, it is necessary to create the most smooth transition. This will be achieved by a length of medium and more.
• On darker strands, the result is better and more noticeable.

Star images

Let's recall the popular divas from the field of show business, cinema, music, as well as popular beauties from social networks with such lighting.

For example, the gorgeous Kim Kardashian, who regularly changes her looks. She lit up with a similar color. She looked insanely feminine gold glare in a glossy dark chestnut mop.

Onions came up and Kate Beckinsale, who diluted luxurious red curls with fiery tongues. Of the blonde girls, I remember the elegant Gisele Bundchen, the cheerful Jen Aniston, the stylish Sarah Jessica Parker, the sexy Jessica Alba. It is impossible not to mention the legendary J. Lo and Rihanna.

On a note! If you come to the salon for a haircut and dream of becoming unique, ask the master to paint a few curls with dark color. Additional booking will add depth and richness to the shock

But what about the domestic show business? Of course, he also keeps up with the west. This hairstyle is worn by the gentle Vera Brezhneva. Judging by the photos from Instagram, the experiments were also staged by TV presenter Anfisa Chekhova. Anna Semenovich, Maria Kozhevnikova, Ksenia Sobchak have very beautiful styling.

We select shades for brunettes, fair-haired and blondes

Let's determine the preferred range for lightening hair of different colors.

• Dark-haired girls are advised to opt for a warm palette: gold, nut, chocolate, cinnamon, honey, baked milk, cognac.
• A lighter palette is suitable for red-haired and brown-haired women: sand, copper, wheat, caramel.
• For light strands, cold, neon halftones are most often selected. They give aristocracy and sophistication, emphasize the fragility and tenderness of snow-white skin.

Please note that the holding time of the dye composition depends on the original color. For a blond scale, 25-30 minutes is quite enough, but brunettes are better off waiting all 45-50. Accordingly, fair-haired young ladies should stop at the middle interval.

Trying to do it yourself at home

We offer step-by-step instructions that will help you make Venetian highlights at home. First of all, prepare your inventory:

• oily cream for the face and neck (it will help to easily remove random traces of paint from the skin);
• a special brush or a simple toothbrush;
• towel;
• old T-shirt;
• non-metallic bowl;
• coloring preparation;
• thin comb;
• salon clamps;
• disposable gloves.

So, let's start the procedure.

By the way, the hair must be clean. It is advisable to trim the ends, and make a vitamin mask before the procedure. This will help the product to penetrate better.

1. Preparing the drug. We follow the instructions on the package exactly. If you decide to take two tones, do not combine them in one bowl. You should have two brushes and two containers, which you will use alternately. Divide the hair into sections with even parting: crown, temporal, lateral, occipital upper and lower. Secure your hair well with clips.
2. Free up your work area. Separate a strand of 5 cm wide, 1-1.5 cm thick.Apply the paint vertically, randomly, with arbitrary indents.
   Thus, the entire shock is processed.
3. Withstand the required time and wash off the composition.
4. Optionally, you can additionally wash your hair toning shampoo for additional coloring.
5. Be sure to use a balm and conditioner to set the paint in place.

Good to know. Sometimes, before dyeing, each strand is strongly combed. The tool is smeared on the free end. This makes the transition more natural. But combing after combing is not the most pleasant and useful activity. By the way, if you decide, do it before the shampoo, right with the drug on the strands. Otherwise, you will later pull out the hairs in shreds.

Venetian highlighting is a very beautiful and graceful type of hair styling. Any girl with him will seem romantic, feminine and graceful. It fits perfectly into any style, it helps to make the bow more modern and fashionable. Looks great on both curly and straight styling. Awesome combines with a tan. Its naturalness, closeness to naturalness is welcomed. It is made on hair of different colors and does not seek to maintain clarity and mathematical precision. Perhaps this explains the incredible popularity - after all, seeming negligence and skillfully created mess today are absolute trends in all areas of beauty, from clothes to manicure and hairstyle.
