In any salon, you can offer a whole galaxy of procedures for skin, hair and nail care. Moreover, it should be noted that in recent years, the healthy lifestyle movement and the natural beauty of women have been gaining popularity. Aerobatics - nude makeup and gentle highlighting "veil", reminiscent of the sun glare on the female head of hair. Will this trend suit you?
What is highlighting?
Simple staining is no longer an honor, as it gives a uniform hair color. But highlighting leaves room for imagination. It is a coloring of hair in separate strands. The process itself consists in mixing the natural and selected hair color. Highlighting allows you to revive the color, add volume and change the image, without resorting to radical measures. There are many varieties of highlighting, but all of them involve partial staining. Due to this delicate approach, the procedure is suitable for young girls and age ladies. Through highlighting, you can successfully mask gray hair and update your hairstyle.
Classification
Stylists are creative people and they do not mind experimenting with hair at all. Therefore, new types of highlighting regularly appear, based on a combination of special techniques, color combinations and paint application schemes.
American highlighting is very popular, which is very difficult to perform. Up to five shades of color are applied to the hair, and the strands themselves are wrapped in foil. The classic version is a combination of red with copper, orange, red or burgundy. Today, the base is mainly composed of calm colors or neon-bright, such as lilac, yellow or green. This technique is especially relevant for dark hair, as it gives them splendor and mobility.
But French highlighting - “majimesh” - refers to gentle procedures, since paints without ammonia are used for it. Flickering glare is created on the curls, the lightening proceeds evenly with a smooth transition of shades. Alas, on dyed hair, such highlighting can not be performed, since an unexpected color can turn out. After henna, the hairstyle becomes fiery red.
Highlighting “shuttles” also gives a soft result with the transition from dark roots to light tips. It is reminiscent of hair burning in the sun. The technology of highlighting consists in the transverse coloring of individual strands. The method is universal, as it suits all girls without exception.
Among the popular varieties, Brazilian highlighting and the “balayazh” technique should also be noted. The first is technically complicated, but allows you to make brown hair brighter, hiding all the signs of gray hair. When "balayazhe" uses several shades with smooth and sharp transitions.
Under the "Veil"
Among others, highlighting hair “veil”. This technique is the coloring of the upper zones of the hairstyle with thin locks of a thickness of not more than 3 mm. From such a strand, a strand for highlighting is isolated in a zigzag. In the course of work, a foil is used, on which a clarifier is applied. The strands are covered with composition and covered with foil. You can use several sheets of foil on one strand. Highlighting the “veil” involves staining whole strands, but very thin and angled. In this technique, the strands have a uniform color along the entire length.
Who especially suits?
Highlighting by the “veil” method looks very impressive on light brown hair. Ideally, you should choose a tone of ripe wheat. On brown hair, the dyeing process will be quick, especially if you have previously gone through the procedure of straightening, perm or dyeing. Perform a sensitivity test before staining. For light brown hair, choose a tone lighter or darker for a couple of numbers. The result is an iridescent honey tint.
Highlighting the “veil” looks very cute and bright on the caret hairstyles with short and half-long hair. In the work you will need foil, paper napkins, transparent plastic film and tablet.
Why is this technique called so? The fact is that the locks are displayed solidly, without gaps. By the way, mainly from the inside, hair is highlighted. In this case, the “Veil” turns out to be full-fledged, since a translucent layer of light strands permeates the entire hair.
By the way, this kind of coloring is very suitable for girls who have haircuts with a clear contour. When the hair is dispelled by the wind, they will play and shimmer in the sun. You might think that your hair is covered by a weightless veil with a translucent texture.
Pros and Cons of Highlighting
Among the advantages of staining, it is necessary to highlight the ability to tint the skin, mask gray hair and overgrown roots. Also highlighting “veil” generates a play of shadows and light. This is the best option for girls who want to change into a blonde, but do not dare to do so.
The disadvantages of highlighting include the duration of the procedure and its high cost. In the barber’s chair, you’ll have to linger for 2-5 hours, and the wallet will “lose weight” by 4-8 thousand rubles on average. The maximum amount is not limited. Highlighting can not be done if less than a month ago a perm was done or you used henna for a long time. In the latter case, the result may be unpredictable.
Technical question
So, you decided to update the image and try out the highlighting of hair. The “veil” technique is a very soft, but effective way to change the appearance, as the natural color is preserved, but enriched due to the highlighted strands and the overflow effect. Hair begins to play, as if covered with a thin fleur.
On the top of the hair should not be dyed, but because these locks are separated from the main mass. Further, thin strands are stained in a circle or line. After one layer, you need to skip a couple of centimeters and do the whole procedure again. It is not necessary to lighten the hair exactly from the roots. You yourself determine the length and intensity of staining. Do not be afraid to experiment, but know the measure. Just for such gentle experiments, the veil technique in highlighting hair is relevant.
