Coloring on medium hair: features and choice of shades

Every girl likes to change something in her appearance. The easiest way to do this is by coloring. Coloring is a fashionable coloring that involves the use of several shades. As a rule, we are talking about natural tones that allow you to create natural highlights and play. But modern masters also possess techniques of creative coloring in bright colors. With this hairstyle, any girl will be in the spotlight.

Today, it is increasingly possible to see girls who have several shades in their hair. The choice in favor of coloring is due to the desire not only to diversify its usual appearance, but also to preserve the hair. After all, it is quite harmful to lighten all hair at once, and over time it becomes very difficult to maintain their healthy well-groomed appearance. When coloring different colors complement the main hair color, resulting in a more voluminous and original hairstyle.

The technique resembles the usual highlighting: colored strands appear only as bright accents. Often, a cap or foil is also used for the procedure. In the first case, the hairdresser selects strands from the total mass of hair: it is convenient when working with short and thick locks. When working with a cap, thin strands are pushed into the microperforations, and as a result of the technique, the color transitions turn out to be softer. Red hair is combined with strands from blond to shimmering coffee. Dark - with strands from red to purple, and light - with cranberry, lilac strands.

With all the variety of options for coloring all of them are divided into two large groups: vertical and horizontal.

• Vertical Coloring implies dyeing hair in many shades, as a result, it seems that each strand is slightly different in color from the other.

• Horizontal coloration - it is, as a rule, no more than 4 shades. To perform it, you need to divide the hair into several parts and paint each one in its own color, with the darkest used from above and the lightest at the ends.

Basic technology

• American coloring. Includes 5 similar natural shades, perfect for dark-haired women.
• "Salt and pepper". Suitable for blondes, allows you to hide gray hair or to disguise the gray hairs that appear, because the lightest shades are placed at the roots.
• Multicolor. Good for owners of hair of any color, and also suitable for any age. At the same time various shades are taken, and hair is colored in them arbitrarily. It affects only the area of ​​the bangs, and the hair itself remains the same color along the entire length.
• Zonal. Can only be used on individual zones, allows the creation of different patterns using contrasting colors.
• Neon coloring. These are very bright strands, as a rule, they are made on a dark background. Before you apply screaming shades, curls are lightened. The result of this staining can not be called persistent, but a couple of weeks, it looks very impressive.

Advantages of coloring:

• the opportunity to refresh the image without changing the color radically: after all, often turning to a hairdresser’s, a woman does not want to leave her usual hair color, but only wants to update her hair;

Coloring has drawbacks.

• Dyeing dark hair in this technique, individual curls have to lighten. Do without it can only fair-haired women. Even if you choose a color that is lighter in color, you will need a clarifier or remover.
• After the clarification procedure, coloring can be done after at least 3 days.
• Experts in this field take a lot of money for their work, and if you do the staining itself, then it is likely to get the wrong effect.
