Many people think that curls are a priori thick and strong. However, upon closer examination of the structure, it turns out that their scales actually seem to puff up and are located loosely relative to each other. Such follicles are weak and do not secrete large amounts of natural oils, and therefore bend and become wavy. On the one hand, this allows the hair to be visibly more voluminous, and on the other hand, it makes the hair prone to dryness and brittleness.
Features of curls
Wavy strands differ from straight ones not only in shape, but also in structure.
This point must be taken into account before coloring, so as not to damage the curls. The hairs are more porous, their scales do not fit tightly to each other, so the pigment is quickly integrated into the cuticle and appears brighter. Curly hair is also more susceptible to chemical and thermal damage. Due to the fact that the protective layer (cuticle) is not too dense, moisture is quickly removed from the strands, which makes them lifeless and dry.
Electrification is another feature of curls. They are so light that they attract positively charged ions, which causes them to fly apart in different directions.

Mechanical effects, including color changes, are quite stressful for curly hair. Any permanent coloring works according to one type - this is the penetration of pigment through the cuticle scales into the layer of cortex with partial destruction of disulfide bonds, which are responsible for the shape of the curl, so it often happens that after coloring the curls straighten and become even drier.
What should you do to protect your hair during the coloring procedure?
- If you have to lighten your hair, do not wash your hair for two or three days before dyeing.
This way, a natural protective barrier is formed on the curls, which will provide additional protection. - First of all, before going to the salon, comb your hair carefully and thoroughly.
- Give up the idea of going full color.
You shouldn’t pour pigment all over your hair at once; it’s better to choose more gentle techniques like
highlighting or balayage . - Choose ammonia-free paints.
- Instead of foil when painting, it is better to use special thermal paper.
It has less thermal insulation and allows more oxygen to pass through, which gives another chance to minimize the aggressive effects of the dye. - Wash off the paint first with sulfate, and then with a safer sulfate-free shampoo. This will help wash off the coloring pigment more thoroughly.
Pros and cons of highlighting for curly hair
When dyeing curly hair, it is important to take into account some features of this type of hair and its structure. First of all, it is worth taking into account the porosity of the curls, due to which the coloring of wavy hair occurs somewhat faster than straight strands. For this reason, craftsmen, as a rule, reduce the exposure time of the paint on the head.
In addition, it is important to consider that in order to achieve a fashionable natural effect of sun-bleached curls, the width of the strands that will be dyed must be at least 1.5-2 centimeters. A thin and veil method is unlikely to work in this case, since the lightened parts of the hair will simply get lost in the rest of the hair and the effect will be blurred.

Types of curly hair dyeing: fashion trends with photos
Plain
Curly hair is naturally textured, so even a single color color on it looks interesting and bright. This color change is well suited for short and medium haircuts, and owners of long curly locks, if they dye their hair one color, it is most often in dark shades.

Painting in two colors is one of the basic colors, which allows you to place the tone exactly where you want. There are no specific rules here, there is only your imagination!
Ombre
If in two-color dyeing on curly hair the shades can be arranged in any way, then in the ombre technique - only horizontally. In this case, two colors are mixed - dark and light, which gently flow into one another.
Highlighting
Shakira's famous look is nothing more than highlights on curly hair. No wonder the singer loved this hairstyle so much. Thanks to her, every curl on your curls acquires a highlight of a new color from the roots to the very ends.
3D coloring

Within one shade, the master applies two or three new colors to the curls, lighter in tone than the natural color. In this way, everyone’s favorite effect of burnt hair is achieved, as well as the hair’s natural fullness of color.
Balayage
Trendy coloring , which stylists in salons never cease to recommend. Balayage is also called the “free hand” technique, when the master randomly draws a pattern of a new shade on the curls, thereby achieving a natural color shift.

Professional makeup artists use highlighters, sparkles and glitter using the shimmering technique to create a glowing effect on the face. Hairdressers use paint to achieve the same result, but only on the hair. Thanks to special permanent coloring, the curls shimmer with shine in the light, giving the image a light futuristic mood.
By the way,
this style is included in the list of key fashion trends of the last few seasons.
Shimmering is suitable for almost all hair types, both in color and length, and in texture, and for curly hair this technique is a real lifesaver, which turns dry and dull curls into curls filled with a healthy shine.
Types of staining
Various variations of modern coloring will suit curly beauties; you don’t have to settle on a single color. Some of them will look even more expressive than on straight hair and will emphasize graceful curls.
For a haircut of any length, you can choose the most advantageous technique. The combination of shades can also be different; depending on your wishes, they can be as natural as possible or bright and bold. Let's look at the most successful technologies.
Ombre
The technique, which has already become a classic, works best on dark, long hair. Its essence is to create a smooth transition from natural roots to light ends. On straight strands, the result does not look as natural as on curls, so those with curls will only benefit.
Ombre is a gentle coloring, since only the ends are processed. However, it is worth considering that after the aggressive influence of chemicals, the treated areas become dry and require especially careful care.
Highlighting
Another of the most popular techniques, distinguished by its versatility. Only individual strands along the entire length are highlighted with color, which allows you to achieve light highlights or contrasting highlighting of the pattern. Looks good on short haircuts, suitable for medium and long hair.
There are several types of highlighting. Strands can be lightened, contrasting with the base, or tinted after bleaching in different shades. The scope for imagination is unlimited, it all depends on your preferences.
Gradient
It will look ideal on long strands. The technique consists of a gradual transition from dark roots to very light ends, achieving maximum shade contrast. On curly hair the result looks especially advantageous.
The advantages of the technique include a gentle effect on the strands and a long-lasting effect. You will not have to visit the salon often, since the regrown roots will not stand out and will not spoil the appearance of your hairstyle.
However, the gradation cannot be recreated on short haircuts, and it will not be noticeable on blond hair.
Booking
It consists of using several light shades from one palette. It is important that they are similar to each other, this will allow you to achieve the most natural result. Individual strands are treated with different dyes, which creates incredibly charming shimmers on the hair.
Bronzing gives a chic volume, which is especially noticeable on curly hair. The technology is very complex, so it is impossible to do it at home. Another disadvantage is the high cost of professional craftsmen.
Balayage
Highlighting the ends in this technique is done with light strokes, the color seems to stretch along the length. Since individual strands are processed, and not the entire lower mass of hair, the negative impact of the compounds is minimized.
The color grows out unnoticed by others, the roots remain in their natural color. To refresh your tone, you only need to visit a specialist once every 3-4 months. It is better not to try to recreate the technique yourself, as this may lead to unexpected results.
Color options for curly hair: new and classic
Beauty industry experts are sure: the fashion for bold shades in coloring has doubled over the past few years. Moreover, at the peak of popularity, it is not a complete change in color, but a partial one - affecting individual strands. To give your hair bright colors, you can use both non-permanent pigments such as tonics and sprays, as well as permanent dyes or biolaminating dyes.

For dark hair
Girls with dark brown, brown and black hair most often have a cold color type, so they should also choose cold shades for dyeing.
Bright and rich colors of pink, purple or blue are ideal, but girls with curly hair should avoid neon colors.

Types of hair coloring
All types can be divided into several categories. One of them is light hair tinting. It lasts for a fairly short period of time and is washed off after several times. The second method of coloring is permanent hair coloring. With this coloring, the dyes penetrate deeply into the hair structure, and the shade then lasts for a long time. Both types of dyeing are most often monochromatic, and the hair takes on a single color.
Alternative techniques
Such types of fashionable hair dyeing as highlighting, bronding and coloring are much more complex than conventional dyeing methods.

Hair color often reflects a person's sense of style and mood. Therefore, you need to pay special attention to the choice of hair color. And so that there are no black gaps! When choosing a light shade of paint, you need to build on your complexion and avoid a combination of dark skin and light blonde. It doesn't look nice.

Blonde is the warm tones of the next season: copper, gold, caramel. Blonde hair is good because the shade can be easily changed using tinting agents. These products dye your hair for a short time.
