The latest in fashion - naturalness in everything. This also applies to hair coloring. One of the most popular techniques today is shatush highlighting, which allows you to make smooth, and most importantly, natural transitions from dark to light shades. What are the features of this type of staining? For whom is it suitable? What are the types and types of highlighting shatush? Read about all this and more below.
Something interesting
This coloring technique was invented by an Italian hair stylist named Aldo Coppola. He borrowed the name from the English language - shahtoosh, which literally means "expensive kind of wool". In the case of applying this term in relation to the technology of dyeing hair, this term is used in a metaphorical sense, as a kind of synonym for the word "luxury" or "chic". Given the fact that recently there have been countless options for how to dye your hair, they often confuse shatush with Californian highlights,ombre and, of course, with balayage (the latter technique really has a lot in common with shatush). Right now we will reveal all the features, subtleties and details of this hair coloring technology.
Key Features
Often, the shatush highlighting technique is compared to a "sun kiss". The effect of randomly burnt strands is created against the background of the main hair. The most important thing is to choose a light tone that will impress with the original dark one, it will be, as it were, its continuation. There is no place for contrasting transitions, sharp gradients and bright coloring. Shatush - highlighting, which is characterized by maximum naturalness and proximity to natural. It is important to remember that when lightening hair using this technology, the tips are not completely dyed. The paint stretches from the basal areas to the end of the curls, but not all hairs are affected. Thus, it turns out that some of the upper strands have a very light tone, under them there are darker ones, and at the roots the hair color is as saturated as possible. Shatush highlighting looks great on hair of any color. On a light blond base, individual strands are lightened white, on a dark blond base, a smooth transition to sandy shades is made, and on a completely dark hair, brown or red overflows are distinguished.
Looking for differences
Most recently, women were only familiar with classic highlighting. It was possible to make large and rare strands or small and frequent. In part, this principle has migrated tohighlighting shatush, but with certain costs. Firstly, the paint is stretched through the hair, but does not completely cover the entire strand. Secondly, the curls are highlighted randomly, and not sequentially, there is no symmetry. Thirdly, the occipital strands remain intact, that is, dark or black. As for the California highlighting, which is also often compared with the shatush technique, it plays an intermediate role. It retains the principle of the classics, but lacks order and symmetry. Shatush highlighting is also easy to confuse with the balayazh staining technique. The latter is also characterized by randomly highlighted strands, but with a certain caveat. Separate curls are clarified not from the root zone, but approximately from the middle of the length. As additional shades can be used that do not complement the original hair color, but look contrasting against its background.
Having decided on the differences between the crank and other highlighting technologies, let's move on to the second question.
Who is it for?
There are no age restrictions here, even more so, this type of coloring can "throw off" 5 years, refresh the face and image. But as for the length of the hair, it is worth taking this much more carefully. Shatush - hair highlighting, which looks great on long or medium lengths. On short hair, various haircuts from the category of caret, bob and others, this type of coloring will look ridiculous and ridiculous. Also note that bright red hair is an obstacle to creating the desired result. To them willit is difficult to choose a shade that demonstrates the effect of burnt strands, so experts recommend that red-haired ladies give preference to coloring techniques such as ombre or California highlights.
Dignity
This staining technology has many positive aspects, among which are:
- The ability to quickly and safely lighten hair. When highlighting shatush on dark hair, you gradually brighten them. If you undergo such a procedure every 3-4 months, then in a few sessions you can completely say goodbye to dark hair and turn into a blonde.
- Coloring is gentle, as the hair roots are not affected in the process.
- Creating visual volume. Hair will no longer need curlers or curling irons - they will always look chic.
- Excellent disguise of gray hairs. They will simply be lost against the background of "burnt out" curls.
Correct shade choice
- Shatush looks especially advantageous and natural on the hair of a light brown palette. There is no sharpness of transitions, colors complement and continue each other. For dark and medium blond hair, this type of highlighting is an opportunity to refresh your hair, give volume and splendor to your hair. To achieve this effect, it is worth taking paint no more than 2 tones lighter than the original color. It can be ashy, sandy or wheaten.
- Brown hair is not alloweddescribe in one word. They are incredibly diverse, have many variations and varieties. Brown can be ashen, cold or chestnut, warm. It can be hazel, pastel or copper, bright and expressive. It is on the basis of the shade, which is the main one on the hair, that the color for the shatush is selected. These are either dark ash tones, or neutrals, or golden copper.
- Black hair is the most difficult to dye using this technology, but as a result, it looks the most advantageous. Against their background, brown and coffee strands look great. Dark ash shades, chocolate and nutty will also look organic. If your skin tone is perfect, then you can dare to go for a shatush in red, copper, or red tones.
Summarize

Despite the fact that the technique of such staining is so common these days, it looks unique and original on every woman. It is due to the fact that the strands are colored in a chaotic manner, the hair acquires the most natural appearance. In addition, the absence of contact of the dye with the root zone makes the clarification procedure safe and gentle.
