Types of hair styling

Melirovaniem in the hairdresser's business called staining individual strands, and not all hair at once. It has not gone out of fashion for many years, while masters constantly invent new and new techniques. Today we find out what kinds of melioration there are and for what hair they fit.

Types of highlights

By the method of staining the strands, the highlighting is:

  1. Classic - individual strands are lightened evenly, while the contrast between them and "native" locks is smoothed, due to what the resulting tone looks as natural as possible.
  2. Zonal - only the upper strands are lightened, which contrast with the rest of the unpainted hair.
  3. Inverse - strands are not lightened, but stained with dark paint; suitable for blonde women who want to gradually become brown-haired.

In addition, the latter type is relevant, if the strands have already been clarified many times - in this case, staining them in dark shades will return the former melting effect.

Types of melioration for dark hair

Owners of dark curls, wishing to introduce an element of novelty into their image, the following types of hair styling will do:

  1. American - as a clarifier used 2 - 4 colors of paint, close to the original color of hair. Due to this, the master manages to smooth out the transitions and create the effect of sunbaked tresses. When painting, foil is used.
  2. Venetian melirovanie - paint 4 - 5 tones with a wide brush is applied to the ringlets with an indentation of at least 3 - 4 cm from the root. The foil is not used. Thanks to smooth transitions, the hairstyle acquires volume and shine. Ideally, this type of hair melting is suitable for the ladies of the "winter" and "autumn" color types.
  3. California - does not involve the use of foil. The master paints 4 to 6 shades of paint, so the finished color looks very natural and does not require repainting (overgrown roots do not spoil the hair).
  4. Ombre (Ombre, Balaj, Degrade) - in the radical zone, the strands are stained in a tone as close as possible to the natural; closer to the roots cause a lighter color. The horizontal boundary between the two colors is "blurred".

Kinds of melioration for blond hair

Blonde and fair-haired girls are suitable for the following techniques of highlights:

  1. Mazhimesh is a French, more gentle melioration, involving the use of a special delicate paint. Strands are painted in wheaten, nut, honey hues and at the same time are fed by the active substances that make up the dye.
  2. "Salt and pepper" - strands are painted very often, after which they are toned in ashy tone. Finished color resembles very well-groomed gray hair.

In addition, there are such types of highlighting that are ideal for owners of any hair color: avant-garde, contrast, diagonal, creative, asymmetric. All these techniques help create an eccentric image and suggest the use of catchy colors.
