It all depends on the desired effect and the means used. The coloring of the strands has a more gentle effect on the hair, since only a small part of them is exposed to chemical attack. And it is not often necessary to tint the roots, the strands even with regrowth look quite neat.

Highlighting involves bleaching the strands. Depending on their number and thickness, you can get different ones. If you want your hair to look a little burnt and shimmery, lighten a lot very thin strands literally a few hairs. Such strands are best processed with a cap with holes and a special hook with which they can be pulled through the holes.

If you want to make clear accents, the strands should be thicker. Then it is more convenient to use foil. On the long hair you can paint only the tips or strands from the middle. To do this, prepare the desired paint, foil, put on protective gloves. Take a strand of the desired thickness, apply paint and wrap the strand in a piece of foil. The thicker the stained areas, the brighter the effect.

A creative approach to your image allows you to choose non-standard options. You can color the strands only on the bangs, one wide section, paint the stripes on the bottom layer of the hair or only at the very tips. Keep in mind that the more natural the color, the stronger the accents should be, otherwise they simply will not be visible. And the amount of bright color depends only on your courage.

Some manufacturers produce neon shades of dyes, with which you can make a stunning rainbow effect on the length of one strand.

Remember that before dyeing it is very desirable to put your hair in order, otherwise the color will turn out to be uneven. After dyeing, use special shampoos for colored hair, they will help the dye for more for a long time. If your hair has already been dyed before and you decide to try a dye from another manufacturer, it is better to consult a specialist first, because some dyes are incompatible with each other and their application can give an unexpected effect.

All of them can be divided into several main types.

Classic and zonal

classic- this is uniform staining strands of hair along the entire length. In this case, the thickness and width of the strands may vary. The thinner they are, and the smaller the difference between the main color and the dyed curls, the more natural the hairstyle looks.

Zonal- This is the coloring of only individual strands of hair. AT classic version lighten the top strands of dark blond or dark hair. But more and more popular is creative highlighting, as well as asymmetric, diagonal, basal, avant-garde and other types of partial staining.

The last way practiced by fair-haired girls who want to make their hair color darker, or bleached brunettes and brown-haired women who want to restore their natural color no abrupt transition.

Ordinary and gentle

Coloring of this type can be both classic, along the entire length, and zonal, for example, like an ombre.

ombre

Ombre highlighting technology (other names - balayage, degrade) is the creation of a smooth transition from more dark shade at the roots to lighter at the tips. In this case, the color gradation can be quite noticeable, for example, from black to white.

Usually such staining is two-tone, but sometimes three colors are used. At the same time, the clarity of each color separately and the blurring of the transition between them are important.

Shatush

This type of procedure, which allows you to create on dark hair imitation of natural sunburn. For blond hair, it is used much less frequently, since the effect is not so noticeable. It is also used to mask gray hair, if its amount does not exceed 30%, and to smooth out the contrast of dyed hair with regrown roots.

The procedure is attractive in that it does not take much time (up to 1 hour), and natural dyes (henna and basma) can also be used for it.

French (majimesh)

Highlighting performed with ammonia-free wax-based cream paint. It is considered one of the most gentle types. Allows light curls give golden, pearl and nutty shades, but it is not suitable for dark hair, since there is no intense lightening, but only a slight color change. But precisely because of this blonde hair acquire an amazing radiance and look much brighter and more voluminous.

For such coloring, both one shade and a combination of several different tones can be used.

Californian (Venetian)

This is a gentle type of hair highlighting, in basic terms, similar to a shatush, but distinguished by a variety of different color combinations. More saturated shades can be used, and the palette of colors used for this procedure is much wider. In addition, it can be used not only on dark hair, but also light brown or, for example, dark blond.

If amber or golden strands are created on dark hair, then such highlighting is called Venetian.

American

Although in recent times this "autumn" palette has replenished and is very bright colors. The most daring can make highlights in green or purple tones.

There is no clear stylistic distinction between these types. In terms of color, it stands out very fashionable lately highlighting "Salt and pepper", creating the effect of almost gray hair.

You need to have even more courage to make multi-colored highlights by coloring the strands, for example, in green, blue and pink tones. The color can be one, but bright enough and sharply different from the general tone of the hair. It is these coloring options that offer such style directions as creative, avant-garde, Crazy colors. At the same time, “crazy colors” can shade individual strands, or be applied randomly, and even create certain patterns (for example, Colloringparrot - the colors of a parrot, or stencil patterns - waves, circles).

More calm in the color scheme of highlighting in style major contrast and diagonal. In the first case, vertical lines of bright, contrasting tones are created (for the most daring - white plus black). Diagonal highlighting involves a specific separation of partings: vertically or at an angle. At the same time, in the classic version, the color scheme is not too saturated, but necessarily contrasting. If such a technique is used to create avant-garde or creative images, then the tones are selected much brighter.

What type of highlighting should be preferred?

When choosing a type, be sure to consider:

• hair condition;
• main color;
• hair is natural or already dyed;
• hair length;
• haircut type;
• eye color;
• color of the skin.
