How to make coloring at home

Coloring is gaining rapid momentum, more and more girls want to diversify their hair with bright shades, while maintaining their individuality. The coloring process is not particularly difficult, the procedure can be performed on dark and blond hair. Experienced hairdressers have developed an effective technology that allows you to make coloring at home. Consider the important aspects in order, give practical recommendations.

What is colorization

Coloring of this kind is the processing of individual strands in two colors or more. Coloring can be done on hair of various lengths. As for the color scheme, you can use close or contrasting shades, it all depends on individual preferences.

If the coloring is done in natural tones, you will give the hairstyle an extra volume and make the haircut flowing, cascading. At the same time, contrasting coloring gives the hair an originality, a unique style and personality.

Most often, coloring is performed on fair hair, but this does not mean that the procedure cannot be carried out by dark-haired beauties. The only condition is that before starting, lighten the locks in several tones. Coloring is considered convenient, since you do not have to tint the roots additionally. This feature is achieved by a smooth transition from the painted part to the natural.

What is the coloring

Rounded, radial, twisted, watercolor and full colorization are distinguished depending on the technique. Consider each option in order.

1. Rounded coloring. The technique is designed for long-haired girls, about 3-5 shades are used in the technique. To correctly carry out the procedure, the head area is divided into squares 2 * 2 cm in size. Staining begins from the occipital region, gradually moving to the crown. In the process of staining, you need to alternate colors. After the curl is processed, it must be rolled up into a tourniquet, and then twisted the bagel-bagel and secure with hairdresser clips.
2. Radial coloring. To stain using this technique, separate the parietal hair and fix it. First, color the occipital area with your favorite color, choosing individual strands located at a distance of 3 cm from each other. After applying the pigment, wrap the painted curls with foil, go to the punctured parietal part. Loosen the hair in this area, select a few strands, observing the symmetry. Paint them a second shade and also wrap with foil.
3. Twisted coloring. The technique is comparable to round technology with only one refinement. In that case, we dyed the curls along the entire length, and the crowded coloring involves horizontal application of the composition. To correctly carry out the technology, take a strand, put it on the palm of your hand. Dip the brush into the first pigment, draw a strip at the roots. Now dampen the brush in a paint of a different color, make a strip a little lower. Imitate a zebra until you reach the ends. Optionally, you can vary the distance between the two colors. After application, twist the strands into a tourniquet, make a bagel and fix with clamps. Perform manipulations with each curl separately.
4. Watercolor coloring. Staining is performed using shades similar in color. It is important to choose colors that almost coincide with the natural tone of hair.Thus, you emphasize the native shade, making it deeper and more saturated. Choose 3-5 colors at your discretion, determine the order of application (from dark to light and vice versa). Starting from the occipital zone, select one strand, apply the first component in the list. Then take the second curl, color it in the next color on the list. Paint the left side first, then the right.
5. Full colorization. Staining by this technique involves replacing the natural color with a different shade. After the hair is completely dyed, you can begin to colorize individual strands. It is necessary to choose a color palette based on the existing shade of hair. As a rule, this kind of coloring is done by a professional hairdresser. The master knows which shades to choose according to the color wheel, so that the new full hair color is combined with colored curls. Depending on the idea, you can choose from 5 to 20 shades, using them alternately.

Practical recommendations

Coloring is considered to be a complex procedure, but only if a person does not have sufficient knowledge to carry it out at home. Use the best practices to get answers to your questions.

1. Start painting in the early morning, colorize in natural light. Do not try to complete the procedure quickly; pay attention to trifles. Each hair should be stained thoroughly without visible "gaps".
2. Do not immediately use ammonia or ammonia-free preparations (persistent dyes). To get started, pick up a palette of available hair tonics, experiment with them. An alternative is colored crayons for strands. When you realize that the image suits you perfectly, you can wash off the “rough” version and proceed with the procedure with persistent pigments.
3. So that the dye does not react with other hair care products, do not use foam, mousse, gel and varnish for three days before the procedure. Also, during this period it is not recommended to wash your hair to create a protective barrier for the skin and hair in general.
4. Before diluting the paint, study the manufacturer's recommendations for each composition purchased. The advice is especially relevant if you use from 3 to 5 shades, while dyes are produced by different companies.
5. To timely identify individual intolerance to the components, conduct a test for an allergic reaction. Apply one drop of each composition to the wrist, wait 15 minutes, rinse and evaluate the result. If itching, inflammation, and irritation are absent, start coloring without fear.
6. Prepare for the procedure: change into old things, lubricate the skin along the hairline with petroleum jelly or a rich baby cream. Take care of the necessary materials in advance, we will consider them below.
7. As mentioned earlier, in the process of coloring, the strands are wrapped with foil. The duration of exposure of each composition depends on the manufacturer, it must be clarified in the instructions. Remove the foil in the order of priority, first remove the paint that holds less.
8. In the process of washing paint from the hair, you can not remove the foil from all the strands at the same time, especially if different shades are used. Free one lock of hair and immediately rinse it, avoiding color mixing. After washing off the pigment with shampoo, do not forget to apply a nourishing balm or mask.
