Hairbranding - what is it?
Bronding is a modern staining technique that allows you to achieve the effect of sun-burned strands due to a combination of similar shades of tone. This technique will especially appeal to women who can not decide who they would like to become - a brunette or blonde. The very term "bronzing" is a symbiosis of the words "brown" and "blond", and appeared in the habit of hairdressers-colorists several years ago.
Note that not every practicing stylist owns this complex technique of staining. Unfortunately, and independently, without outside help, to achieve on the skin a delicate play of light and shade is quite difficult. For this reason, hair coloring at home is a troublesome and unsafe procedure. It involves the use of special clarifying drugs that require professional skills and knowledge. Therefore, it is better to entrust this work to a good master-colorist.
Hair coloring: dyeing procedure
Required Tools:
- clarifying powder
- Cream oxidant 1.5-3%
- paint
- hairdresser's brush for dye application
- bowl for mixing color composition
- gloves
- hair clips
- comb with small teeth
- one-time dressing gown
- kitchen scale
Stages of bronzing:
- Traditionally, staining begins with the diagnosis of the condition of the hair and the determination of the depth of tone (CGT), the study of natural and cosmetic base. Based on the obtained data, the master colorist is determined with the coloring substances, and then starts to discolor.
- If the curls were previously painted, the discoloration of the strands occurs with a clarifying powder or cream mixed with an oxidant in a ratio of 1: 1.5 or 1: 2. To achieve a more clean result, the use of low-percentage cream oxide (1.5-3%, less often - 6%) is recommended. If you reach the desired level of depth of tone in one stage does not work, then the procedure can be repeated. Thus, damage to the structure of the curls can be minimized, especially if the bronning is carried out on dark hair with a depth of tone below the light brown.
- The application of the dye must be started from the lower occipital zone, gradually rising to the top of the head. Minimum time spent on the procedure can be achieved if the following algorithm is used:
- separate the strand 2 cm thick and 4-5 cm wide
- as much as possible pull it under the angle convenient for the hand
- with the help of a brush, apply a lightening composition with light diagonal strokes, leaving the "purl" part of each strand not colored
Important! Fiber brushes should slide only over the surface of the strand, not penetrating its depth.
- The time of aging of the clarifying composition on the hair should not take more than 40 minutes under constant visual control - it is impossible to wrap the head. Then the bleaching mixture should be washed off with deep-cleaning shampoo and slightly dried strands.
- The final stage is toning. The selected shade of the paint is mixed with a cream-oxide of 1.5-2% in a ratio of 1: 2 and applied to slightly damp hair for 20 minutes. For a more natural effect, the hair that has sunk into the sun, it is necessary to alternate layered and untouched strands. If dark bronning is done and not light, as in the photo, then the aging time of the composition should be reduced to 15 minutes.
On a note! It is better to choose warm shades for bronzing, and to avoid cold and artificial ones. It is warm colors that make the result of staining more natural visually.
