Every woman and girl wants to have thick, well-groomed hair, shining with a natural color. However, not everyone has the opportunity to boast of what nature has given her. In such a situation, hairdressers who know the secrets of beauty come to the rescue. An experienced specialist can dye the hair in such a way that the color seems natural, the strands will be as if burnt out in the sun, while the curls will look he althy and shiny. Shatush is a coloring technique that hairdressers use to achieve these goals.
What is this?
In general, such options have been known for a long time. After all, shatush is a variation on the theme of highlighting. The only difference is that with this method, shades are selected that have a slight difference in color. And the border between them should not be clear, but very smooth, natural. For dyeing, small strands are used, taken in a chaotic manner. The result is not only natural-looking hair, but extra volume.

Two techniques are very similar to each other: ombre and shatush. The difference between them is that shatoush suggests natural colors, while in the ombre technique, completely opposite shades and eccentric colors can be used.
Now various coloring technologies are fashionable - bronding, shatush, ombre, Californian or Venetian highlighting. However, all these methods converge in the main thing - naturalness. Today, this is the main requirement for appearance, whether it be hair or clothing. Far-fetched, overly deliberate is out of fashion these days.
Shatush can be done both on natural hair and on existing highlighting. In addition, experts use dyes that cause minimal damage to the hair. The absence of additional warming through the use of foil or caps also minimizes harm.
Techniquedyeing
Shatush is a technique that does not require the use of foil or caps for highlighting. Produce such staining in the open air. You can use natural or chemical dyes - it depends on the condition and initial tone of the hair. Most of those who decide to dye in this way choose paints with natural basma or henna - this makes it possible not only to get a unique and deep color, but also strengthens the hair from the inside. The procedure takes approximately 45 minutes. The procedure should be repeated at least once every three months, but if the color of the roots is very close to natural, this can be done with an even longer break. There are two ways to perform such highlighting.
Shatush with fleece
The classic way - shatush with fleece. First of all, the hair is divided into strands up to 2.5 cm wide. Each of them is combed magnificently at the roots. A clarifier is applied to the remaining mass. The main thing at this stage of coloring the shatush is the choice of the percentage of the oxidizer. For weak and thin hair, it should be as small as possible. For thick and very dark hair, the oxidizing agent should be no less than 12%.
Having held the oxidizing agent, it is necessary to thoroughly wash it off. After that, the main tinting agent is applied.
The product is applied with a brush so that it spreads through the hair. If at the end the result is not too noticeable, you can further correct it by toning.
Shatush without fleece
Experiencedthe hairdresser applies the color so that there is no need to comb the hair. This is done as follows.
Dyes are selected so that there is not much difference between the shades - otherwise it will look very rough. A few centimeters are indented from the roots. The paint is applied in chaotic strokes, without a clear border. The time that the paint remains on the hair, the master chooses individually, based on the structure of the strands, the initial color and the desired shade.
Shatush at home
At first glance it seems that this is a very simple method, so it is quite possible to make shatush at home. Staining instruction, however, requires experience, knowledge and a steady hand. It is very difficult to create a truly natural hairstyle at home, so it is better to turn to a professional. If this is not possible, but you want to have hair no worse than that of a star, you should carefully study the step-by-step video. In addition, you must strictly adhere to all recommendations.
Preparing for coloring
If it is decided to resort to such a procedure as hair shatush, the dyeing technology must be observed to the smallest detail. In addition, it is very important to prepare the hair for the procedure.

Drying and styling appliances should be used as little as possible. Responsibly approach the choice of hair care products: buy shampoo and balm for colored hair, purchase restorative masks and specialoil.
Immediately before the procedure, you do not need to wash your hair, just comb it thoroughly - sebum is an excellent protection against the negative effects of dyes. Do not use styling products before the procedure, this can contribute to a very unexpected result.
If the hair was previously dyed, it is advisable to carry out a color alignment procedure. In addition, it is advisable to tidy up your hair a few days before dyeing - cut off split ends and renew your shape.
