Coloring technique
The essence of professional coloring is that the master selects shades close to each other (from 2 to 10) and evenly distributes them over the entire surface of the head, while the hair is divided into zones and strands. Each tone of paint is applied separately to the strand. When coloring, not the entire mass of hair can be treated with paint, but some of it. With full colored dyeing, the natural color of the hair is completely changed, with partial, a shade of paint close to the natural hair is selected so that the colors “play” and harmonize with each other.
How is dark hair coloring done?
Hair coloring can be both transverse and longitudinal. With a longitudinal, shades are applied along the entire length of the strand, and with a transverse one, the master applies tint colors from the roots of the hair, starting from lighter to darker so that a soft transition is obtained. According to the masters, transverse coloring is considered the most progressive, as it provides the longest and most lasting result. The bottom line is that when the hair grows back, it does not form a border with the colored part of the head.
Specialists in their work use various dyes: brightening, tinting, persistent and semi-permanent. When starting coloring, you should always take into account the condition of the hair: highlighting, perm, etc. For a short period of time (party, disco, concert, going to the theater, etc.), you can apply extravagant colors of paints that are quickly washed off.
