Hair coloring: staining features and stages

Coloring hair is a kind of coloring, the essence of which is the combination of harmonious or achromatic colors. Thanks to correctly executed coloring it is possible not only to "revive" the texture of the haircut, but even to change the shape of the face or hide the small imperfections of the exterior. The features of this coloring, its types and stages will be discussed in our article.

Hair coloring: types and patterns of performance

The methods for performing coloration are multivariate, and the color schemes and schemes of applying colorants are selected depending on the task. Such staining is often situational and can be modified in the process, depending on the type of hair, their quality and the texture of the haircut.

Depending on the palette used, coloring can be: contrasting and harmonious. For contrast, as a rule, achromatic colors are used. Especially effectively, this coloring looks on blondes, for example, a combination of a platinum blonde and black color. But this option looks pretty bold, so more popular is the harmonious coloring - a combination of similar tones, which differ from each other with minor color transitions.

At dark coloring on dark hair shades of red, burgundy, brown, violet are most often used. If the task is to add darker curls to lighter glare, separate hair sectors discolor, and then give them the necessary color.

Coloring blondes implies two-tri-color staining, the purpose of which is to blend lighter strands with darker strands. This color combination visually increases the volume of the hair, and the haircut itself looks more dynamic. On light curls it is better to use shades of a warm blonde, close to natural. But along with the fashion trend to natural naturalness, which reigns in the hairdresser's world for more than one season, the actual trend in coloring blondes is the use of pastel pink, mint and pale turquoise shades. These same tendencies also apply to the multicolor staining of the blonde and redheads.
