Hair strobing: advantages and disadvantages of dyeing technique

In the life of every girl or woman, a moment comes when you want to change something in your appearance. Difficult to make drastic changes: after all, an unsuccessful hairstyle or coloring will be difficult to change.

Initially, the concept of strobe appeared in the make-up. Then this technique began to be used in hairdressing. Its essence lies in the darkening and lightening of certain areas in order to hide flaws and underline the winning features of appearance. Experienced masters are able to thus adjust the appearance and significantly improve the appearance. Hair strobing involves highlighting of individual strands, due to which the perception of skin tone and facial features changes. The specialist selects strands: some of them are darkened, while others, on the contrary, are lightened. Such a pattern on the hair refreshes the face and gives it a natural elegance.

This technique requires an individual approach to each client. In order for the result to be qualitative and fully meet the expectations, it is necessary to take into account the features of the appearance, the shape of the face, the color type, the presence of gray hair and their number. Only after a detailed analysis of these factors, a specialist can proceed to staining.

And yet the most attractive is the coloring looks on light brown hair. Contrast strands in the case of strobing make hair unnatural and overly catchy. Dark hair with such coloring take an untidy look.

Blonde and dark-haired girls can be strobed only with preliminary training. Its essence is to lighten or darken the natural shade. In this case, it will achieve the desired result. Owners of curly short, medium and long hair strobe is suitable in the first place. Due to this feature of the hair the boundaries between the colored strands are erased and shaded. Hairstyle is obtained as natural as possible. There are not many specialists who can perform the procedure at a high level. Not every salon offers strobing hair.

Strobing is a unique procedure with more and more fans. To better familiarize yourself with its features, it is necessary to study the positive and negative points. Consider the advantages of strobe.

• Coloring affects only the upper layer of the strands, because the harm to the hair is minimal. Especially when compared with highlighting and full staining.
• The ability to change the appearance and hide its shortcomings. This is an important advantage of the procedure.
• Giving hair volume, and hair - dynamic and expressive.
• Create a fresh look.
• The strobing technique is suitable for every girl and woman, taking into account the analysis of the features of appearance, color selection and selection of the necessary strands.

Unfortunately, negative characteristics are also characteristic of this technique.

• Mandatory analysis of the features of the appearance that not every master will be able to perform at height.
• Too limited number of masters who really understand this technique and are able to apply it, while achieving high results.
• Before painting it is necessary to perform a number of preliminary procedures.
• High price, which is determined by a large number of factors. In the regions, the cost of strobe is kept within 5 thousand rubles. In Moscow salons, this figure increases several times.

Masters who specialize in strobe use a large number of techniques and techniques in their work. Their choice is based on a preliminary analysis of the features of the appearance and hair. If the technique is chosen incorrectly, the result can be as bad as possible. Usually used two shades. One is chosen to be 2 tones darker than the natural shade of the hair. The second will be 2 tones lighter compared to natural hair color. In the first place strands are painted in a light tone, then a darker paint is used. Strands can be painted completely or partially.

Masters on strobing in the choice of painting techniques are oriented first of all on the shape of the face.

• Chubby bangs are lightened up for girls. In its absence, the upper strand is colored in a light tone, which is slightly above the hairline. Side curls are painted in a dark color. Untouched hair is partially answered starting from the roots. Long straight hair is more suitable for this technique.

• For oval face no special adjustment is required. In this case, the strobe is aimed at placing the correct accents. Shades for coloring strands are chosen in such a way that they are in harmony with the color of the eyes.

• Girls with rectangular or square face shape brighten the side strands near the cheekbones. The hair, which is located below the cheekbones, remain in a dark color. The most successful similar staining looks with a slanting bang, which is often also subjected to staining in a light tone. This technique distracts attention from the chin and forehead, rounds angular lines and gives the image of femininity.

• For triangular face dark oblique bangs required. She can disguise too expressive forehead. Strands of hair, which are located on the same level with the chin and neck, are painted in light shades.

• Overly elongated oval requires the use of asymmetric staining. The essence of this technique lies in the uneven coloring of the strands. Looks delightful hairstyle with a long bangs, diluted with light strands, which fits on the side parting.

• Facial oval in trapezium requires hiding expressive jaws and cheeks. Masters create a contrast of light and dark shades at the level of the cheekbones. The oval of the face will visually narrow, and the massive chin line will not be so obvious.

The choice of coloring technique is based not only on the analysis of the facial contours, but also on the natural shade of the hair. There is a single scheme of coloring, which changes are made depending on the natural shade of the hair. Make strobe by the following technology:

• initially selected technology, which is based on a detailed analysis of the features of the exterior;
• hair is collected in the tail;
• the necessary strands are pulled out in turn, which will then be subjected to staining;
• paint is prepared and applied with a special brush;
• the strands are in turn wrapped in foil and left in this position for a certain time;
• the foil unfolds, the paint is washed off.

Now it is necessary to consider the features of strobe, depending on the natural shade of hair.

• Black hair are one of the most difficult options.In this case, the strobe technique turns out to be multi-stage. Black hair is required to lighten, often this procedure is divided into several stages: otherwise, you can burn the hair. After clarification the paint is selected in accordance with the obtained shade.
• Dark hair do not need clarification, the result from strobe will already be good. The master needs only to pick up the necessary shades of paint.
• Red hair least suitable for strobing. Such hair is already bright, so finding the right shades is not an easy task. For bright ginger shades brown tones with a honey shade are most suitable. Gray-red hair is shaded by dark-blond colors. In the case of natural shades with a reddish tint, blond colors are selected.
