Sombre Dark Hair Coloring

Send

It is becoming more and more difficult for a philistine to navigate in new hair dyeing techniques that appear constantly. On the one hand, it is simply wonderful that their choice is expanding, and everyone can choose the best way to express their own individuality. On the other hand, how can a non-specialist distinguish them, and even more so, explain to the hairdresser what exactly you want to see on your head ?!

Fashion variations

Previously, everything was simple - monochrome staining or highlighting. Then coloring was added to them. And it all started with this. Stylists enjoyed playing with flowers so much that they began to try their imaginable and inconceivable combinations. As a result of numerous experiments, such topical technologies as balayazh, shatush, ombre appeared today, and not everyone sees the difference between them.

We asked the specialists to explain simply and clearly what are the main advantages of each of these methods, and what, for example, is the difference between ballad and ombre, and also to whom and which of the popular techniques is more suitable.

From native French balayazh translated as "revenge." The paint is applied to the individual strands with light vertical strokes (from top to bottom) and only on the bottom of the length. In fact, this is coloring or brightening the tips, at which 2-3 close tones are used, which creates additional volume and deepens the base color.

Initially balayazh was done on brown hair, but now there are techniques for painting blond and even light.

Black owners, before using this technique, will have to lighten them by 1-2 tones. But masters usually offer such beauties other ways of coloring.

Properly executed balayazh looks volume and beautiful, but it almost does not damage the hair. It can be done even on very thin and weak hair. Ease and naturalness characterize balayazh (the difference from ombra and shatush, where the boundaries of color transitions are much more noticeable).

Balayazh is considered ideal when the work of the master is not visible at all, and the clarified strands seem to be burned out in the sun. Therefore, it is more difficult and most important to choose the right colors. The very same coloring technique is quite simple, especially for short hair.

it is better not to do it on the previously painted very dark hair - the hair seems faded,
with an insufficiently smooth transition, the clarified tips look inaccurate,
on wavy hair looks better, so that the owners of straight will have to curl the tips,
with improperly chosen additional colors, it can greatly simplify and “cheapen” the image.

As the name implies, this technology was invented for brown-haired women who are not yet ready to become blondes, but who really want to refresh their color and slightly lighten their hair. However, "slightly" is very relative. Some masters leave the natural color no more than 3-5 cm at the roots, and then there are randomly scattered light strands.

In shatush, no additional colors are used, it can be considered an upgraded kind of highlighting.

Even if your base color is not natural, the transition from dark to light (and never vice versa!) Occurs clearly within it. This is the main thing that distinguishes shatush from ombre, for example, in which there may even be contrasting colors.

The advantage of this method is that it allows you to make the transition from a brown-haired woman to a blonde as smoothly as possible without damaging your hair too much, but at the same time remaining fashionable and stylish.

If you are satisfied with the length and the result of dyeing, the correction can be done once every 2-3 months - when the shatush grows back, it still looks beautiful.

does not involve the use of additional colors, so many people find it boring
not suitable for blond hair, but only from dark brown,
does not look on short haircuts and very curly hair.

Ombre is the best choice for those who are not afraid to look bright and like to experiment. However, in the classic version it is a smooth transition from a dark color to a light one or vice versa. But who is now surprised by the classics!

Everything is permissible in ombre - from contrasting shades to poisonous neon colors. The main rule is the absence of sharp boundaries between them.

For this coloring to look stylish, you need a length. Therefore, regardless of the hair color, it can be done only on the grown hair. Owners of short haircuts better fit shatush or ombre. But on medium and long hair is where to turn and you can use up to 3-4 shades.

The horizontal gradient effect with several colors is considered to be a special chic and apex of hairdressing. It is very difficult to achieve, so you should not even experiment at home.

But the classic ombre at an average length can almost be performed by anyone who is willing to follow the technology step by step.

the greatest density of coloring: for very thin and heavily damaged hair, the technique is not recommended,
it is easy to cross the line between originality and vulgarity, playing with bright colors,
with an incorrectly executed stretching, the effect of a regrown blond is obtained,
light often gives yellowness, requires additional toning.

Paint selection

The choice of the main and additional colors for fashionable colors depends on many factors, which an experienced colorist must take into account: age, natural color of hair, presence of gray hair, hair condition, etc.

Many are guided by the client's color type, and this helps to understand that in the direction of cold or warm shades one must move.

Balayazh. It does not imply sharp contrasts, so you should choose shades with a maximum of 3-4 tones darker or lighter than the base.
Shatush. You can usually get by with a clarifier, as this technique involves a smooth transition within one (base tone).
Ombre. Here is where to turn around! Colors can be very different, but at the same time follow the rules of color.

Important! When experimenting with red, blue, green and other extreme colors, remember that when you blur the boundaries between them, you may not get the effect you were expecting.

General benefits

The above techniques make such popular and popular, even despite the relatively high cost of their implementation in the cabin, such advantages:

Taking into account even the rather high cost of the procedure, it will be cheaper for a professional to perform it once every 3-4 months than it takes a long time to restore the hair after unsuccessful experiments.

Sombre dyeing technique

Sombre is a method of coloring hair, which consists in creating smooth transitions from one color to another. This method is able to give the hair a natural shade. Sombre allows surrounding people to think that the girl has very much grown hair, and the roots have darkened considerably. The ends of the hair fade, become light.

The method of dyeing does not mean dyeing all the hair, so any girl can master this technique at home. Foil will not be needed to dye your hair, so there will be no clear boundaries between color and color. Paint is applied quickly, it is recommended to keep it for a long time, then rinse.

Sombre looks great on hair of any length. If you dye your blond hair, it will have the effect of burnt hair, and if it is dark, then the girl has visited the seaside resort.

Shatush: general information

This is a complex type of staining, which is essentially a highlighting. It helps to achieve the effect of natural, slightly burnt hair. At the same time, visually the strands acquire volume, structure, the hair becomes more voluminous, the hair is lively and attractive. The effect of extra shine appears.

Shatush coloring (flamboyage) is a sparing technique, because only a few strands, selected randomly, are tinted (more often, lightened). This is a good way to hide gray hair if it is localized in certain places. The new color is slightly different from the main one. It may be slightly lighter, creating a shine effect, or darker, giving structure and depth.

Strands are painted with indentation from the roots, which allows the method to be used with sensitive scalp

It has the following advantages:

The procedure can be carried out every three months,
Session takes less time
Allows you to save on staining (compared with monthly highlighting, coloring, coloring in one tone).

The closest procedure to toning the shatush is balagaz. Balayazh differs fundamentally from shatush in that with it the ends are colored not with individual strands, but throughout the entire mass of hair. At the same time, colors are taken as close as possible to the main one. This balayaz differs from the ombre, which can be performed in shades of a different color.

Color is not strands, but just the whole mass of hair

Shatush: the difference from the ombra in the technique

Be sure to get a haircut before performing staining. Since, if you cut your hair after it, the effect can drastically change, deteriorate. It is better to have a haircut and make up one master.

In this procedure, do not use a cap or foil, as when highlighting. Developed two application techniques - with and without pile. In the first case, the hair is divided into thin strands, some of which are applied dye. These strands are combed, due to which a color transition is achieved. However, this type of hair is a bit traumatic.

Shatush for long hair looks very beautiful

Modern materials and clarifiers help masters to abandon this technique. Proper application of the dye allows you to achieve the same result, without exposing the hair to negative effects. Another name for the technique is open highlighting.

The number of shades is different, but usually no more than four are used. This helps to achieve the effect of sun glare. Some shades are darker than the base color, some are lighter. How to alternate between them, the master will determine, based on your type of appearance and haircut.

Ombre: general information, is there really a difference?

The California ombre is a technique in which a smooth color transition from tips to roots is achieved. Traditionally, at the roots the color remains darker, although other solutions are possible in creative hairstyles.

It is carried out by the most different shades, both classical, and bright and unnatural. The color of the roots and ends can be cast very much - to be much lighter or completely different. Depending on the choice of shade, ombre (brondirovanie) can look like natural, like burnt hair, and unusual and catchy. Another name for the method is gradient highlighting.

What is the difference in staining?

All the above techniques give the hair a natural look of sun-bleached strands. In all forms there is a smooth transition from a dark shade to a light shade and the color stretching is made from the root to the ends. But if you look at the photos before and after, then the difference between balayazh, shatush and ombre becomes noticeable.

Balayazh and shatush differ greatly in that in the first case the composition is applied to the entire area. Thus, the lower part is denoted more clearly. In this balayaz similar to the ombre. But in the first embodiment, apply shades close to the natural color of the hair. The difference between the technique of balayazh also lies in the fact that the staining is performed vertically and not horizontally. Consequently, hue transitions are more blurry. Ombre and shatush differ from balajazh. The latter, judging by the reviews, is something between them.

Shatush differs from both the ombra and the balayazh. It gives the most natural result, since there is no sharp difference between shades. In contrast, for the ombra they use brighter tones and only the ends are colored.

What is better to choose?

After the difference between the coloration types has been clarified, it is necessary to determine to whom this or that tinting technique is suitable. Shatush recommend to do in the following cases:

Since shatush differs in that the roots are left dark and only the ends are brightened, it is advised to choose brunettes and brown-haired women. For blondes, this technique is extremely inconvenient, as they will often have to paint overgrown roots.
Use shatush is for those with gray hair no more than a third.
Owners of fine hair will receive a long-awaited volume.
It will be better to look at the wavy curls.
Suitable for those who have medium-length curls with a haircut cascade, ladder or four of a kind.

There is no highlighting of shatush for girls with very short hair, since the effect will be hardly noticeable. Painting is not recommended for those who have a lot of broken ends. Shatush only aggravates the situation, and as a result will look untidy.

Balayazh will suit the following categories of women:

This painting will appeal to blondes, light brown-haired and light brown-haired women. On the dark curls, it will look too contrast.
Balayazh is suitable for brave young ladies who are not afraid of experiments.
Looks good on cascading haircuts.
It is recommended to make such painting for girls who want to refresh their image, but are not ready for dramatic changes.
Suitable for straight long hair.
Looks beautiful on bleached hair.
Actual for thin hair, gives volume.
Beautiful on a short haircut, but only if you are using a variant with contrasting hair coloring and a sharp transition of tones.
Brunettes fit balayazh with honey, gold and caramel tones.
If you have gray hair, you can experiment with silvery shades.
On blond hair look better golden, wheat and amber shades.

Ombre looks good on:

young girls who want to create a fashionable image
representatives of subcultures or people of art, for example, musicians or artists,
hair, trimmed ladder,
curls, trimmed under the caret with graduation, as it allows you to select strands from the face and on the back of the head,
fair-haired girls, whose hair is not too light or dark,
on short hair,
those who prefer bright colors and contrasting solutions on the hair,
purple, crimson or yellow strands,
curly hair,
straight strands that only underline the border between colors.

Ombre creates the effect of long dyed hair. That is, it seems that an urgent need to go to the hairdresser for correction.Those who do not like this kind of ombra will not work.

Ombre focuses on the tips, so you have to monitor their condition. If the hairs split, then this technique is best not to apply. Also, the ombra is somewhat obliged to look stylish. Haircut and dyeing should be combined with clothing.

As for the category of business ladies who do not have time to constantly visit salons, they are not advised by professionals to use shatush. It will often have to be adjusted - at least every 3-4 weeks. It is better to prefer balayazh or ombre. The roots do not need to be dyed too often, and the hairstyle will remain neat as long as possible. An experienced colorist will tell you what type of hair dye to choose. Appropriate technology, high-quality tool and well-chosen shades will help to create a stylish look, look younger and make new.

The meaning of the procedures and the effect of them

Highlighting can be performed not only in the classical style, but also with small deviations from it, significantly affecting the result. Such a subspecies is shatush. The principal difference is that there is no need to wrap each strand in a piece of foil. This allows you to achieve a smooth transition between your own color of hair and clarified its parts. Hair after shatush gets the missing volume and the effect of natural burning in the sun.

This result is most noticeable in owners of brown and dark hair, mostly of medium length. Highlighting shatush do not do short strands, because they can not achieve a gentle solar overflows. And the owners of light curls can not see it at all.

Highlighting implies the isolation of only certain strands from the total mass of hair, their lightening or dyeing practically from the roots. Therefore, they are clearly defined. Shatush allows you to more gently and carefully achieve the necessary glare on the curls due to the selection of the necessary strands and their basal pile.

The resulting "pillow" prevents deep penetration of the lightening agent in this area of the hair bundle. Therefore, the locks are not as white and damaged.

The concomitant effect of shatush is a disguise that allows you to hide:

poor quality highlighting
unsuccessful full staining
gray hair, if their share does not exceed 35% of the total amount of hair

Coloring using the ombre technique is a brighter version than the previous one, because in the classic version it implies a gradation of the color of the curls: from dark roots to bright ends. It is also possible to reverse its distribution. The result after ombre is a voluminous, saturated haircut.

Coloring allows you to use 2-3 colors. If you choose them correctly, then the transition will be more natural and blurred.

The ombre technique is applicable to any length of hair, regardless of whether it was previously painted. The classic transition of dark shades to light is almost impossible to achieve on bleached hair. Requires at least a light brown base tone.

Ombre staining is also done without the use of foil, but the result depends on the skills and experience of the master, the chosen version of execution. There are six subspecies of this technique:

Classic. It is appropriate tone, close to their own. Usually they are used by two, blending the border between them.
Reverse when the curl ends are darkened.
Vintage, different from the classic effect of regrown roots.
PonyTail, imitating the burning of hair in the sun in a ponytail.
Colored. There is plenty of room for experimentation. You can make an ombre by brightly coloring the roots or tips, leaving the rest of the hair natural.
Sharp when clearly traced line of color change of hair.

Sometimes the median strip of a different tone (with natural roots and tips) is considered an ombre variant. And the new color should not be clearly visible in the hair.

Ombre is often identified with its variety - balayazhem. The essence of the latter is in painting separately selected strands into a contrasting, but natural color that complements the natural one. Then the hairstyle looks voluminous in both short and long hair.

Technological stages and their features

Highlighting shatush passes in several stages. From the quality of their performance depends on the appearance of hair. The sequence of actions is as follows:

The entire scalp is divided into narrow strands. On each of them it is necessary to make a radical rubbing, but not too dense, so that the gradient turns out to be soft and natural.
Top beams stabbed clamps. Highlighting shatush begin to perform with the lower strands.
Dyeing each bundle of hair should be done in small strokes with the edge of the brush, departing from the roots.
Technological innovations make it possible to make shatush without highlighting, but they require greater accuracy and considerable experience of the master.
The strands are not wrapped in foil, which is why they are lightened softly. But the process takes longer.
After washing off, the hair is often tinted, which helps to keep the hair more healthy and make shatush more expressive.

Ombre staining differs from the previous version both in determining the required length of bleached strands and in the way they are processed:

First, the whole head is divided by partings into four parts. Painting ombre begins with the occipital region. Top strands - hardened clips.
At some equal distance from the roots, the hair is lightened to the tips with a special compound. The range of stretch shade in ombre needs to be selected immediately - 2/3 or 1/3 of the total length of the curls.
When using 2-3 colors, it is important to consider the sequence of their application and the time of exposure of each to the strands in order to achieve the desired effect.
After washing off the oxidizer, the hair needs to be tinted, as with the shatush method.

Conclusion regarding both procedures

When comparing shatush and ombra, it becomes clear that in their classic version they are intended to create the appearance of naturally burned curls. Technicians do not require monthly correction. Repeated visit to the salon will need no earlier than three months. At this their community ends.

The main difference between them is that shatush harms hair the least. In this technique, only some strands that are selected randomly are affected. The distance from the roots is small. The color scheme here is conservative, suitable for every day. Shatush do not do short curls.

With the help of ombre varieties, the image can be brighter, deeper, but not always and everywhere is relevant. In the classic version of his hair look softer. The blur of color borders in ombre allows you to emphasize the naturalness of hair. The effect depends on how high and intense the strands are lightened.

The choice of technology is better to provide the master, who will select the most appropriate, based on the natural data of the woman, the condition of her hair.
