Colored hair: fashion trends and methods of dyeing

More and more often you can find girls with unusual shades of hair on the street, since colored strands are one of the fashion trends of our time. And she offers for ladies a huge selection of bright shades, each of which looks in a special way on the curls. But not all ladies know which tone to choose from the color palette, how to dye your hair correctly, whether it is possible to combine shades with each other, how to properly care for it to keep the color longer. All these and other nuances will be discussed in detail in this article.

Colored coloring can be embodied in almost all colors of the rainbow. However, the current fashion trends are just a few shades that look really beautiful on the hair.

The blue tone is presented in the form of four basic shades, for a harmonious image with each of which certain features of appearance are required. A light blue tone on the hair will suit girls with fair skin and blue eyes.

The option with a gray tint will beautify women with an expressive eyebrow line, as well as a dark iris of the eyes.

If we are talking about a rich blue-blue, then brown-eyed ladies with a warm skin tone are best suited for this color. You can also make a transition from dark blue to light blue, if the length of the strands allows.

Saturated blue or even indigo looks good on ladies whose natural hair color is fair. However, its dark shades, as well as black curls, are extremely difficult to dye, therefore, without preliminary lightening, the result may be a green tone.

Violet tones definitely catch the eye, add mystery and originality to the image. This shade will be ideal for ladies who are representatives of the cold color type.

For the rest, it is better to pay attention to the ombre coloring - the transition of the dark upper part of the head to purple tips.

A more specific shade is determined by the natural tone of the hair. For blondes or light blond young ladies, lavender tones are suitable., while brunettes and dark-blond girls are better off sticking to a rich purple color, which gives the hair more volume.

At the height of fashion are also shades of pink, which give the image of a lady sexuality, romance and tenderness. This option works best for natural blondes who don't even need to lighten their curls before coloring.

If you have a cold color type, then saturated pink colors will look better on you., while on a warmer color type, muted and soft shades, such as, for example, smoky pink, are harmoniously embodied. The advantage of any pink tones is their independence from the original hair length, since they can look great both on long hair and on short haircuts.

Red will be a win-win fashionable color option for women of all ages. Hair in this embodiment can be close to both a burgundy shade, which is important for a warm color type, and smoky red, which will be appreciated by "cold" young ladies.

It is worth considering separately such a trend of color dyeing as a two-tone ensemble, which looks very eccentric. In this case, half of the hair is painted in one color, and the second part in another.

Keep in mind that complexion and skin color in general, as well as eye color, play an important role in choosing a shade of curls. The most expressive look is in which colored hair contrasts strongly with skin tone. If you want a more harmonious option, then make sure that the tones of the hair, skin and eyes are combined.

Before deciding on such an experiment, it is also worth remembering about such a nuance as your profession. If you work in an office where there is a dress code, in law enforcement agencies or in the educational field, you should refrain from wearing colored hair. If you are a representative of a more creative profession, work for yourself or are not tied to a specific activity, then bold tones will not interfere with you.

It is also worth paying attention to the age criterion. Saturated shades such as purple or red are unlikely to work for mature women. They even, on the contrary, can add age. Non-standard colors in this case are possible, but in more pastel colors. Young girls can experiment with the entire color palette.

It is worth refraining from color dyeing for those whose hair is already lacking in health, because the lightening accompanying the application of a bright color can finally worsen the condition of the hair. Therefore, take the time to restore procedures before deciding on this type of painting.

To choose the right bright color for your hair, important nuances should be taken into account.

• Stop choosing shades that will not cause problems with the selection of clothes and accessories. Pastel options are best, such as light pink, peach, mint. However, if you expect to radically change the whole image, then you can decide on more daring tones.
• Decide whether to dye all of your hair or just part of it. Perhaps the option with a gradual transition from dark roots to colored strands, for example, to scarlet or purple, will also seem interesting to you.
• If you want to combine different colors in your coloring, then you should make sure that these shades are in harmony with each other. An unusual option for a color combination on your hair will be a rainbow transition, which will definitely not leave you without the attention of others. However, it is not recommended to combine 3-4 bright colors on one head of hair.
• Those who are trying this procedure for the first time should consult with a hairdresser in advance about the most gentle ways to transform hair. This is especially true for those who want to use leave-in paint. Also, the hairdresser will help you decide how light the strands need to be before adding the color pigment.
• If you are planning a solid color in a bright color, but doubt how much it will suit you, use modern computer programs or telephone applications. They will help you to see in advance how this or that bright shade will look on you.

It will not be superfluous to familiarize yourself with the various techniques for applying color to your hair before deciding on such a procedure.

• Ombre with multi-colored strands is in demand among both Hollywood stars and ordinary ladies. If you do it based on the natural color of the hair, then you can achieve a positive result in the following cases: pink, peach and other warm tones are suitable for light strands; dark-haired girls should choose purple, blue, and lilac for ombre; ladies with red or brown hair are best suited for red shades, as well as gray curls.

• Close to ombre colombre technique differs from the first in its richer result. The bottom layer of hair is not dyed in one color, but in a real ensemble of bright colors, harmoniously combined with each other.

• The opposite of this method is variant with bright roots... If the main part of the hair remains dyed in a natural or neutral tone, then the root section is painted over with an intense color.

• Opal color represents a smooth transition of pastel shades into each other. It looks especially good on light or ash medium strands.

• On dark curls, you can successfully embody a color dyeing technique called "oil slick"... She is a clever combination of blue, greenish and deep purple strands, in combination reminiscent of gasoline screech.

• The dip-dye technique is effective for short hair. She looks good on bob haircuts. Its peculiarity is the sharp border between the root zone of a natural color and the rest, painted in a bright tone.

• The ends, as well as long hair, can be dyed with neon paint. It gives the hair the most vivid color, which is noticeable even in the dark.

• Gradient is a popular wayespecially among those ladies who have long hair. It involves a gradual transition from one shade to another.They can be combined from light to dark as tones belonging to the same color, and more contrasting options.

The selection of paint for color dyeing should be taken responsibly, since its quality and elements in the composition also affect the result. You can choose the right tool by adhering to the recommendations of specialists.

• If you are looking for experimental or temporary coloring, it is better to choose a tinting agent rather than a permanent paint. It washes out faster and within two weeks you will be able to see your natural hair color. However, if you choose a product that is too cheap, chances are that the natural pigment will take longer to recover. Remember that it is not recommended to resort to re-staining until the pigment is completely washed out.
• Professional colored paint may contain additional components, such as vitamins or oils. It's not completely harmless, but non-ammonia options won't do as much damage to your hair. This paint is commonly used in hairdressing salons, but you can also choose one yourself from professional stores.
• In the selection process, pay attention to the possible palette of results when dyeing the lightest and darkest strands as much as possible. Remember that this paint will also wash out over time.

You don't have to buy dye and do complicated and expensive treatments to achieve the colored strands you want - there are other ways to change hair color.

Coloring crayons, which are represented by a fairly large palette. With their help, you can give brightness even to unbleached hair. This option is ideal if you do not need to paint over large areas of hair, and also if you want to paint the curls at once.

A chalk tool for color dyeing, like paint, can dry out strands, but the effect will not be as strong. And after the first use, you can easily wash off the chalk with water and shampoo. Also, this option is much less expensive than full color dyeing.

An even easier way is to attach fake strands in bright colors to the top of your hair using clips. You can do in this way both single accents on the head of hair and the ombre effect by attaching a ready-made strip of curls to the lower part of the back of the head. The nuance that must be taken into account with this method of transformation is the compatibility of the length of artificial curls with the length of natural ones. This will make the transition between strands less noticeable.

By analogy with crayons, a temporary coloring agent such as mascara works. With its help, it is easy to highlight individual strands or shade the root zone.

It is believed that color dyeing has a fairly strong adverse effect on the strands. Hair dryness, brittleness or hair loss can be the result of this procedure. Therefore, you should take care of the subsequent care of the dyed hair in such a way as to repair the damage and maintain a bright tone for as long as possible. To do this, it is better to adhere to tips and life hacks.

• Do not wash curls in hot water.It is better that its temperature is at room temperature, since this way the curls will suffer less from thermal effects.
• For the same reason, it is recommended to exclude the use of a hair dryer or curling iron. It is better for the strands to dry naturally, and for curling it is more advisable to use curlers. If, nevertheless, hot styling is necessary, then it is better to apply a special serum to the strands before its implementation, which minimizes the negative effects of temperature.
• Choose a shampoo that is free of parabens and sulfates.
• Use regenerating masks, preferably made from natural ingredients, at least a couple of times a week. You can even make them yourself.
• Avoid daily shampooing, as it can not only wash off the color faster, but also worsen the condition of the hair, especially the ends. For quickly becoming dirty curls, it will be better to use dry shampoo.
• Life hack for color preservation - applying vinegar to the strands after washing. However, with this method, it is better to be careful and not overdo it with this substance, as it is quite aggressive.
