A quick guide for those who decide to change their hair color.

Classics of the genre: ombre, shatush, balayazh and others

Plunging into the world of coloring, let's start with the basics that have been popular for at least several years.

Ombre

The name of this staining technique has French roots that go back to the word "shadow". This is traditionally called the creation of a smooth gradient (gradual) transition from darkened roots to lighter tips. "Regrown roots" - this is about it, ombre, in its most budget execution.

It is believed that one of the first celebrities to popularize this technique was "Sex and the City" star Sarah Jessica Parker, who flashed her "regrown roots" (naturally painted in a fashion salon) in 2010.

But quite quickly, the ombre outgrew the stage of naturalness and acquired color variations, when the ends of the hair were no longer lightened, but sometimes painted in rather bright colors. By the way, an interesting option for the brave.

Yes, if the hairdresser offers you to make a gradient or degradation, you should know: this is the same ombre, only under a different name.

Sombre

The sombre will turn out if the traditional ombre is equipped with the prefix c- - soft, soft. The transition of colors here is softened as much as possible, almost imperceptible. Most often, a sombre is done like this: they leave the bulk of the hair intact, only slightly, literally by 0.5-1 tones, highlighting individual, rather wide strands. The result is the effect of a slightly sun-bleached, completely natural hair.

Balayazh

One of the most gentle staining techniques. Balayazh is, in fact, highlighting thin strands of hair, and not along the entire length, but only the ends - a maximum of ⅔ of the total length.

Bronding

To understand what this coloring technique looks like, just remember Jennifer Aniston - the Hollywood star has worn a bronde, practically without taking off, for many years.

Brond - the same highlighting (lightening clear thin strands of hair), but not in one lighter tone, but in different ones to create the effect of a natural play of light. At the same time, there is a strict limitation: bright colors are not allowed, only blond and brown tones are acceptable. Actually, the very name of the technique - bronde - is a mixture of the English words blond and brown.

Shatush

Another variation of lightening individual strands in one or more shades, but with a key nuance: the color transition occurs horizontally. The situation, traditional for ombre or bronda, when part of the hair is lightened only at the ends, and individual lighter strands can begin almost from the roots, is unacceptable here. The transition of colors in this case has a somewhat blurry, but still quite distinct horizontal border.

What's new: nude, grombre, flamboyant and others

Good old is good, but you always want something new. Here are a few more techniques that broke into the world of staining quite recently, just a year or two ago.

Thunder

Stylists love to create new concepts by combining old names, and this is the case: the word grombre comes from the merger of gray (gray) and ombre (ombre). You probably already guessed: this is still the same ombre, but with an emphasis on gray - ash, steel, gray - hair. Ideal for those who discovered their first gray hair and now decided to “grow old beautifully”, but this rather provocative coloring is also popular among very young girls.

Nude

Nude is when there is hair, healthy, beautiful, well-groomed, but it seems to be not there. They do not attract attention to themselves, allowing you to focus on something else: look, transparent skin, other characteristics of the image. The coloring is carried out as naturally as possible, exclusively in restrained, neutral, natural tones that fall in the color type, eye and skin color.

Flamboyage

Another fruit of hairdressing incest: comes from the symbiosis of the words "balayazh", "ombre" and the adjective flamboyant (catchy). The creator of flamboyant, Italian stylist Angelo Seminara, says that with the help of this mix technique he tried to create the most bright, iridescent, lively hair color. How much he did it, judge for yourself.

Strobing

This technique involves coloring in such a way that the effect of a reflection of light on the hair is created. Strobing is quite difficult to perform: there is no single algorithm for highlighting the strands, the master chooses the tone and location himself, focusing on the characteristics of the hair, skin color and other factors.

Succulent

An extraordinary and in many respects ruthless color option for hair. The name comes from the Latin word "juicy", and the mix of colors in which the hair is dyed is designed to remind of nature: green herbs, flowering meadows, mysterious lakes overgrown with various greens.

This type of coloring is chosen mainly by girls in creative professions. Of course, you can't go to an office with a succulent. Though…
