Every woman wants to look attractive. And for this, she must follow three rules.
First, a well-groomed head. This is where color highlighting comes in very handy. Agree that a girl with tousled or sleek strands does not attract admiring glances to her person. They will most likely be derisive or, worse, squeamish.
The second rule is well-groomed hands. This is nail care in the form of a manicure, and soft skin. It is not a shame to extend such a hand to a gentleman.
And the third rule that the weaker sex must follow is to pamper your legs with beautiful and comfortable shoes. Then you will be able to become a beautiful stranger with a flying gait for passers-by. Here they are - these three wisdoms.
About choosing hairstyles
Let's start creating our image from the first rule. The fashion industry offers the modern woman all sorts of hair care products:every taste and budget. Here, every lady finds the best option for herself. The main thing is that shampoos, conditioners and balms fit your hair type and make it he althy. Daily hair care will bear fruit. Hair will become lush and thick.
Now it's worth thinking about giving them a shape, that is, a hairstyle. And again, no matter what models of haircuts exist in our time. There are both long and short hair, for sports and glamorous parties, for every day and significant events. But that's not all.
Changing natural color
Color is your highlight. The culture of staining goes far into history. A well-known fact: long before our era, even in ancient civilizations, hair color spoke of the status of their owner. About belonging to the highest level in society. Of course, in those days no one knew what color highlighting was. But this did not interfere with other beauty experiments.
How was it done in ancient times?
A mixture of soot and henna was used in ancient Egypt to give hair a black or dark brown tint. But for Greece, blond colors were considered noble: ashy and golden. Curls were clarified with infusions from plants. For the same purpose, people spent hours under the scorching rays of the sun. Lime and ash from special trees were used.
Yes, beauty requires sacrifice. And, most likely, many beauties of that time suffered from sunstroke in order to look charming. Centuries have passedthe French Revolution took place. Fashionistas of those times came up with their own know-how - this is hydrogen peroxide. The substance was discovered at the end of the 19th century. As a result, France, and then the whole of Europe, was “captured” by blondes. White hair color has come into fashion.
Modern interpretation
How are things with our contemporaries? What color is in fashion now? By what means is it achieved? Everything is very democratic. Of course, there are trends, but no one sets strict limits. There is a choice. And no one canceled the flight of fantasy. So, along with monochromatic staining, other methods appeared. For example, color highlighting. But more on that later. As they say, choose for every taste and budget. Here are just a few of them: toning, lamination, coloring, highlighting.
What is highlighting?
Highlighting - a method in which strands of hair were initially lightened in certain areas of their length. The thickness of the curls and their frequency can be chosen independently. By the way, the color can also be changed. Recently, color highlighting has been especially relevant. The photos presented in the article demonstrate options for this procedure. In addition, they confirm the fact of her trendy.
A special coloring composition is applied to the strands of hair. They are wrapped in foil or thick thermal paper. To make the process convenient and fast, a special cap made of rubber or polyethylene was originally used, which resembled a headdress for swimmers with manyholes on it. Through these holes, the master took out the strands necessary for dyeing.
Founder of the fashion
For the first time this staining method was used by the French master Jacques Desange. His motto at work was as follows: every client should be treated like a star. And he had enough famous visitors. Here are just a few names: Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly, Brigitte Bardot, Jane Fonda, Sylvie Vartan, Martin Karol. Through his efforts, a silver-blond shade was introduced into fashion. And every year, fashion houses revive it in new collections, competing with each other in the sophistication of names: honey blonde, mother-of-pearl, California, star, saffron, etc.
Performance techniques
The highlighting procedure may differ in execution technique. Frequent, chaotically arranged thin strands, lightened from the middle of the length, with the effect of sun-bleached hair, are achieved using a method called shatush. The effect of such an experiment will last for three months. This is the most popular color hair highlighting. Photos confirming this are in the arsenal of many famous fashionistas. For example, Drew Barrymore, Jennifer Aniston and Jessica Alba are real fans of this coloring. Its distinguishing feature is its versatility. After all, burnt strands are suitable for absolutely any type of appearance.
There is also a California style of highlighting. A distinctive feature is that the strands are not covered with foil or special paper. They are outdoors. Andlighting is uniform. There is also no drawing scheme. It all depends on the desire of the client. Strands for lightening can be typed with or without bouffant, have different shades suitable for the client's color type.
There is also an author's technique. It was brought to life by Angelo Seminar. Coloring is done on special Davines paper, which helps to achieve a gradual color transition. It turns out a play of tones. Their, so to speak, glare. This is very convenient and practical, since even with hair regrowth, the difference in color will be minimal. With this technique, you can very carefully and delicately hide the emerging gray hair. Such color highlighting is suitable for dark or blond hair, it looks organic in any case. It is only important to choose the right shades.
Color play
As already mentioned, modern highlighting is color. This means that it includes not only burning out the pigment from the hair, but also adding any shades. Colors can be completely different: from light, pastel and ending with blue, red and maybe even green. Here it is important not to overdo it, but to maintain a sense of proportion and style.
Color highlighting on dark hair looks very impressive thanks to modern technologies. Contrasting shades allow you to visually add volume to the hairstyle, create a unique image. And, what is there to hide, save money, since during regrowth there will be no dissonance between the hairdyed and natural.
Choosing paint
But in order to save later, you need not be stingy in the beginning. Color highlighting requires the right paint. And it's not even about brightness and durability, but about how useful, or rather, harmless, it will be for hair.
I would like to note the paint from the Estelle line. The brand is quite young. He is not even 20 years old, but he has already established himself well with professional hairdressers in fashion salons. The paint has a rich palette of 140 shades. These are basic colors, as well as additional ones, which include special series: brightening, for red strands, correctors, trendy tones, for gray hair, and so on. The line also has color highlighting: "Estelle" pleasantly pleases both masters and fashionistas, who are used to not only changing images, but also monitoring the he alth of their hair.
Shades can be mixed with each other, getting new colors to create any look. A big plus of this brand is not only an acceptable price with a composition that includes natural ingredients, but also the presence of two product categories by the manufacturer. The first is Estel Professional, designed for professional use. The second is Estel St-Petersburg, for home use. Dyed hair gets a lasting color that can hide even gray hair. At the same time, thanks to the keratin complex, tea tree oils and the exotic guarana plant, which are part of the paint, the hair has not only the color you dreamed of, buthe althy shine, natural softness and volume.
Conclusion
Color highlighting is a fresh sip in hair coloring. Thanks to this, you can not only radically change the hairstyle, but also give the hair visual volume. And how nice it is to look at well-groomed hair with a beautiful shade and stylish styling.
