What is degrade? This is a new way of coloring hair. It was first used in France. Hence the name - degrade, which in translation into Russian means "semitone". This is a two-tone coloring of the hair horizontally or vertically. When changing hair color in this way, the tones seem to pass one into another. The method of dyeing degradation on the hair looks gorgeous. This gives the hairstyle extra volume.
Variations of degradation on the hair can be many. It can be applied to all curls entirely, from the roots and down, or divided into strands. Color transition lines can be either blurry or clear. It all depends on the wishes of the client.
Color variations
When dyeing using the degrade technique in the horizontal direction, as a rule, dark tones of paints are used for the roots of the hair, and light tones for the tips. It can be not only ashen colors, light brown, golden, red, but also blue, pink, green. The horizontal version of the degradation on the hair gives them volume. The tone of the curls at the roots can be changed depending on the color of their tips. Most often choose black or dark chestnutpaints. If blonde is used as the main tone of the hairstyle, the ends of the hair are never dyed in exotic shades.
To smooth out the color transition, it is recommended to move away from the classic two-tone staining. The process includes intermediate shades. Most often it is used in a vertical way of degrading on the hair. This coloring technique is suitable for any ladies, whether they are brunettes, brown-haired women, redheads, blondes. The procedure begins with toning the roots, then smoothly moves to the tips. Hair dye is chosen very carefully. Degrade is suitable for girls and women with any figure and skin color. Many stars take their natural hair color as a basis, coloring only the ends.
The multi-color method of staining is becoming increasingly popular. The effect of degradation on the hair is created using five or six colors that are different from each other. This technique looks original on the bangs. The contrasting degrade method can be used not only on the upper strands, but also in the depth of the hairstyle. The use of light color and darkening of the ends of the hair is often used in evening hairstyles.
Degrade looks best on long hair, where you can play with color variations. But you can use this technique on short haircuts. For example, in Drew Barrymore's short blonde hair, dark roots look very stylish.
Usually this type of coloring is preferred by women who do not like bold experiments with the color of their hair and do not want to drasticallychange your image. Young girls often do partial tinting.
Most of all, the degrade technique is suitable for brunettes, since in this case only the ends of the hair are lightened. The choice of paint tones is best entrusted to a specialist in a good salon who has extensive experience experimenting with color mixtures. He will most accurately be able to choose the right shades. Failing that, the hairstyle will look messy, as if you haven't dyed your hair in a long time.
