The desire to look unusual and bright sometimes pushes girls to do strange things. For example, for dyeing hair in an unnatural color for them. So, turquoise hair became a hit in Europe in 2010-2011, and then in Russia - in 2014. It is noteworthy that the fashion for unusual coloring has not completely passed.
What is remarkable
Of course, turquoise hair color is unusual in itself. However, it is not only remarkable for this. So, for example, some psychologists believe that turquoise hair, as well as pink, green, blue and others that do not match natural tones, are a sign of insufficient attention. That is, girls (or boys) who choose to color such colors, on a subconscious level, want to attract attention to themselves. Perhaps there is some truth in this. After all, hairstyles really attract the views of others, regardless of whether they look at it approvingly or not. And, by the way, many already famous people (for example, actors and musicians) supported this mainstream at one time. How much wasstars with bright hair colors? It's hard to count! And women, and girls, and men, and boys - many managed to try out extremely bright coloring. True, in the end they still abandoned it in favor of more natural tones.
Is it bad for hair
It would seem that bright colors should “burn out” the hair structure. But in reality this doesn't happen. Provided that products with a natural composition are used. Like, for example, the popular Manic Panic. It was with her help that famous actors and actresses, for example, Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen, received turquoise hair color, and all other shades of the rainbow. And don't burn them! If, however, little-known chemical paints are used for dyeing, then there is a risk not only to spoil the hair, but also to be completely left without it. And to be bald, it's easier to use a trimmer for a haircut. Girls with turquoise hair note that the color is washed out rather quickly, so they have to be tinted more often than usual. But with the right choice of paint, this does not harm at all.
What are the nuances
Regardless of which company will use the paint (natural in composition), there are some peculiarities of the staining procedure. And they need to be taken into account in order to get the desired color, and not dirty or swampy. Firstly, in order for the turquoise hair dye to lie evenly and without switching to another shade, you must first use a clarifier. That is, first you need to either become a blonde, or highlight the strands. In-second, a natural-based paint like Manic Panic requires patience in application. More precisely, a longer exposure time. On average, it takes at least 5 hours to get a bright tone, and at least 2.5-3 hours for a light shade. Thirdly, at the time of staining, you need to forget about metal hairpins and so on. The paint may react with the metal, resulting in unpredictable results. And the last thing - when dyeing strands, they need to be wrapped in cling film, and not in foil. On natural or dark hair, paint is not applied, since a bright color is not obtained. But a disgusting swamp tone can easily be obtained.
How to protect hair
After staining, or rather, clarification, additional nutrition and strengthening is required. Not to mention the protection of color from rapid washout. Therefore, those who decide to make themselves turquoise hair for a long time should pick up a sulfate-free shampoo in advance. Preferably one where there is a note that it protects after staining. It is a mistake to believe that with a rare washing of hair, they retain color longer! Quite the opposite, the production of subcutaneous fat on the head contributes to the rapid renewal of scales on the strands. And this is the reason for the rapid washing out of the paint. And of course, it is worth using special products to protect against ultraviolet rays, sea or highly chlorinated water. Sprays and mousses were invented specifically for this purpose, they should not be ignored in the summer or when relaxing at the sea, in the pool or sauna.
How to take a "desperate step"
Of course, turquoise hair is something out of the norm for many. Therefore, it is quite difficult to decide on staining. And some parents find it hard to come to terms with the choice of a daughter or son later. That is why only brightly colored tips came into fashion in Europe at first. On occasion, they can always be cut at the hairdresser or tinted after washing out the shade. By the way, turquoise hair ends look spectacular not only in light-haired, but also in brunettes. But the latter have to burn them harder during bleaching. It is not necessary to achieve a completely white color, but you will have to fairly lighten the strands with the help of a strong and resistant paint. It is better to pick it up with the master, otherwise there is a risk of spoiling the he alth of the hair, which usually leads to split ends and hair loss.
Are bright colors in fashion now
Yes, despite the fact that the peak has already passed, on the street you can still meet one to three out of ten girls with turquoise or lavender hair. And it has already ceased to shock as much as at the dawn of this fashion. By the way, in order not to greatly undermine the he alth of the hair, many decide on bright coloring after highlighting. And some even get special crayons that only temporarily give such an effect. After the first wash, the color disappears. Thus, this is a good way to try on a bright image of a “turquoise girl”. And only then decide whether it is worth it to be like this longer.
