Coloring (from the English word "color") - a procedure for giving hair a certain color or shade. Unlike simple dyeing, the hair does not look like a plain mop, but shimmers with luxurious highlights, as if the summer sun was tangled in them. Coloring on short hair is especially beautiful (the photo will be presented in the article), because in addition to the luxurious and unusual color, the hair acquires visual volume and density.
The natural shade of the hair is rarely uniform, so the tinted hair looks the most natural way. Today, there is not one way to dye your hair this way. The most popular coloring techniques in Russia and Europe are described below.
Ombre
Perhaps the most famous hair coloring today. Short haircut, long hair no longer look dull and monotonous. Thanks to the fashionable technique, the hairstyle becomes similar to the styling of Hollywood stars. Ombre (from the French word "ombre" - "dimming") is pronounced with emphasis on the last syllable, according to the rules of French phonetics. Like everything French, ombre-style stains look sophisticated, sophisticated and a bit piquant. And although the origin of the word is one hundred percent French, there is an opinion that an unusual hair color was first seen on lovers of hot beaches in sunny California. The girls' hair burned out from the sun, which provoked the effect of fashionable double dyeing.
Ombre hair looks unusual, but also straightforward due to the presence of two shades and a smooth transition between them. The main distinguishing feature of this staining is that the tips always look 2-3 tones lighter than the roots. This effect can occur naturally, or you can create it artificially - in the hairdresser. Such coloring is suitable for short hair, long, medium length - not so fundamentally, the main thing is that the haircut is not graduated, layered or torn, but uniform, then the desired effect will be achieved.
It is necessary to use hair dyes of at least three shades: the natural tone of the hair and two colors a tone lighter than the previous one. The main thing with this coloring is the subtle transition between the shades, then the curls will look natural and fully meet all fashion trends. Coloring the hair of a short haircut (photo can be seen below) should be done very carefully, dyeing the hair not from the middle of the head so that the scruffy effect of the grown roots does not occur, but affecting only the tips. Then the hair will get a truly luxurious look, will look lush and look amazing in any style.
Today, there are other techniques for creating the effect of burnt hair. This is shatush, degrade, hut. Perhaps the difference between them can perhaps only be masters of hairdressing, as the result is almost identical. The ombre itself also has several varieties that have become very popular lately.
Creative ombre
Ombre-dyed hair does not have to be a natural color. Among teenagers, representatives of various informal subcultures and movements, as well as just people of creative thinking, color ombre is very popular. Both shades used in dyeing can have an unnatural color, however, you can apply bright dye to natural hair. Among blondes, pink ombre is popular today. In this case, the hair is dyed twice: in a shade of "blond" and in pink from the middle of the head.
For any haircut, you can successfully apply creative hair coloring. Bright colors perfectly fit on short hair, and it will be much easier to grow or repaint them.
Ombre vice versa
Another creative but more natural look for trendy coloring. In standard ombre, a transition from dark to lighter is observed. Here the effect is the opposite - the closer to the ends, the hair should be darker. This coloring helps visually give the hair a thickening effect by adding a darker color. This coloring is especially advantageous for short hair (see photo above), the dark tips at the nape level will appear more magnificent and voluminous. This staining technique is especially suitable for blondes.
Ombre for blondes
On fair hair, ombre should be performed with extreme caution. Firstly, white curls are thinner and weaker in structure, more prone to damage and desiccation during staining and thermal exposure (including exposure to sunlight). Secondly, on very fair hair, the ombre can be almost imperceptible if the color palette is incorrectly selected. Therefore, blondes are more suitable for staining with contrasting dark or color shades.
On the other hand, if the owner of the golden mane really wants to get the effect of burnt hair, you can carry out the procedure of lightening the house without additional tricks. It is enough to squeeze the juice out of a whole lemon, cover the desired length of hair with this substance and walk with such a mask in the sun for about two hours. Thanks to lemon juice, hair will burn out and lighten much faster. It is best to colorize your hair for short hair.
Ombre for brunettes
On dark hair, ombre looks bright and harmonious. Long dark curls are a great field for the creativity of hairdressers. Firstly, light shades on them will look contrasting, which means brighter and more natural than on blondes. Thanks to this, the very effect of sunburned hair will be achieved. Secondly, it is the length that allows you to "stretch" the color from the darkest to the lightest. The tips can be cast with golden wheat, while the roots will remain in the color of a rich chestnut. Coloring on dark short hair will no longer be so bright and contrasting, since coloring will require fewer colors, but this does not mean that the ombre will be less beautiful.
Highlighting
About 10 years ago, hair highlighting was at the peak of popularity. Today, dyeing hair with locks is more suitable for owners of light or brown hair. Thin golden stripes on the hair of blondes look as if the rays of the sun tangled in them shimmer in a natural platinum shade. This effect creates a visual volume on the hair due to the presence of several colors. Therefore, such a coloring of hair for short hair, thin, dull and sparse, will lie just in an ideal way.
Highlighting on dark hair
On brunettes, unfortunately, this effect does not look so advantageous, since thin light locks, combined with dark ones, will create a gray hair effect. Wide white locks do look tasteless and out of date at all. However, if you choose the right color scheme, the hair can be transformed beyond recognition.
For example, highlighting with colored strands will look fashionable and unusual on dark hair . Red, purple, blue, green - a cheerful palette that is perfect for the summer season. Perfectly lay down such creative coloring on short dark hair (photo below), create a highlight in the hairstyle, add a more interesting effect.
Bronzing
Another fashionable way to color your hair is bronzing. Its difference from other methods of dyeing is to give the hair the most natural color along the entire length. As already mentioned above, ombre makes hair burnt out only at the ends, maximum - in the middle. Highlighting is the laying of vertical strands. In the technique of bronding, in addition to vertical hair coloring, there is also horizontal - the creation of “glare”. Paints are selected individually for each color of hair. Armored hair shimmers in many different shades, similar in tone to the main. Due to this, they look thicker, more voluminous, and more natural. Regardless of whether they are light, dark or red, the color palette almost always has golden, chestnut, coffee and light brown hues.
Hair coloring for short hair is also applicable. Caret, beans, boy haircuts will look much more feminine and more sophisticated if they are colored in this way. In addition, you can compensate for the lack of length by the density that a variety of colors in the strands will create.
So, these were the most popular hair coloring techniques to date. It is important to remember that, like any staining, coloring grows sooner or later. Of course, it looks much more natural and presentable than with continuous toning. But a solid color can be restored by slightly tinting the hair at the roots, and even the most talented master of the most expensive beauty salon is not able to color the same look that was during the first staining.
