For girls who want to preserve the maximum naturalness in their image, it is best to choose the Californian dyeing technique. At the same time, it is extremely important to correctly place light accents that will help make the image much more expressive. The distinct advantage of blonde strands is that the tips will shimmer in the sun and keep rough cheekbones soft. Besides, The Californian technique is considered a gentle technique, however, such a procedure must be carried out under the supervision of an experienced specialist.

If the fashionista is distinguished by brown eyes and dark skin, then the dark version of the painting will suit her. Smartly spaced dark strands will help create the perfect combination with a red color, making the image seem futuristic and natural at the same time. For darkening, you can use a couple of shades at once. In this case, it is also better to use the services of professionals so that the dark strands do not get out of the general image.

Given the fact that red strands are the thickest, the process of highlighting them is considered quite special. In the process of dyeing, you need to be extremely careful not to keep the dye on your hair for more than the allowed period. In addition, if it is necessary to carry out clarification, it is best to use not ordinary means, but more potent ones, where the concentration of the clarifier exceeds 12%.

To date, there are two main types of highlighting red strands. One of the most popular is the procedure, which is carried out using a cap. This technology will be suitable for women who are distinguished by short hair, the length of which is no more than 15 cm. If the partial dyeing procedure is carried out at home, then such a hat can be purchased at any pharmacy. Moreover, most home highlighting kits include just such a hat. For its production, the most common polyethylene is used, which ensures its versatility and reliability.

The number of strands that will be dyed depends on how much the girl wants to change. After the required number of strands is pulled out from under the cap, you can start painting the hair. The dyeing process is the same as for regular hair dyeing. First of all, you need to prepare a dyeing liquid that will be applied to your hair for a certain time.

After all the necessary curls have been painted, you can start removing the cap. After the procedure, it is imperative to cover the hair with a protective mask, due to which it is possible to achieve minimal damage to the hair structure. The second method is to highlight strands using foil. This is a rather complicated matter, however, this technology makes it possible to carry out highlighting of any length. To carry out such work, you need to buy both a highlighting paint and a brush. As for the foil itself, it should be a couple of centimeters longer than the hair length. This technology is ideal for medium length haircuts or hairstyles with bangs.

Red hair can be of various shades, from the most saturated light brown to brown-orange colors. The highlighting color must be chosen exactly depending on your own shade of hair. To date, the following shades are distinguished.

• Autumn, which is a fairly pronounced "rust" with a clear and bright shade;
• Spring - characterized by a soft color shade, however, the "rust" is quite bright;
• Winter, characterized by a light shade that resembles burnt straw.

Before choosing a certain color for highlighting, you need to find out which color type the girl belongs to (brunettes, blondes, etc.) and only after that select the best option. If a lady is characterized by a winter shade, then highlighting in cold tones would be the ideal solution. For example, staining in platinum color looks quite stylish and beautiful. In addition, painting in shades of yellow will look interesting.

If a girl can boast of a shade of "autumn", then painting in ocher would be the most acceptable option for her. If you need to give your hair more volume, you can dye some curls in a chestnut color. We must not forget that with curly hair, you need to be extremely careful, as highlighting with wide strands can ruin the image and will seem unnatural. It is best to contact a professional who will dye small strands, so that the hair will visually appear more voluminous.

Most of all, the lucky girls who can boast of the "spring" hair shade. The maximum palette of possible colors is available for them, so you can experiment and choose the most suitable option for yourself. The only drawback is that before painting in bright colors, you will have to highlight in light shades. Of course, girls who have too dry or damaged hair will have to refuse such a procedure. In the absence of healthy hair, it is better to refuse to carry out any procedures that are somehow connected with dyeing or heat treatment, as this can bring even more harm.

If the girl has black hair, then you will have to carry out additional bleaching, and if the color is "blond", then you can immediately proceed to highlighting. But it is better not to subject long white hair to such a procedure, as it will look unnatural.

In order for colored curls to maintain their attractive appearance as long as possible, you need to pay close attention to caring for them. To do this, you need to purchase the right shampoos and balms. The best way to wash your hair is to use purified water. In addition, from time to time, you can rinse with the use of special decoctions, characterized by a strengthening effect.
