Having long hair, you can create mysterious and feminine images, because any coloring method is suitable for it. The most popular coloring techniques today are: amber, highlighting, balayage, shatush. If you want to dye your hair as if it had never been dyed, choose the Ikain technique. This is the so-called tortoiseshell amber. This coloring creates a stunning, magnificent effect. In fact, this is also amber, only the transition is more beautiful and smooth.

For extraordinary girls who are used to standing out from the crowd, stylists suggest making their hair color more intense. To do this, you need to paint with a deep color, and in one tone. The most popular shades for long hair are: black, copper, red and platinum.
Ombre 2019: dyeing for long hair
The most popular and widespread coloring technique over the past few years is amber. Today it is the most relevant and trendy. This technique is an easy, smooth or sharp transition from one tone to another. The amber technique is very similar to coloring or gradient. Colors when dyeing can be either contrasting or monochromatic. With the help of this coloring it is not difficult to transform even the simplest haircut, adding charm and elegance to it. Long hair can be easily lightened one tone without complete dyeing. In addition, a wonderful 3D effect is created.
Ambre is a universal coloring technique. It is suitable even for maxi length, to any hair structure. It’s very convenient if you suddenly want to radically change your image, for example, grow your hair. Ambre will easily save the appearance of regrown hair and long strands will look trendy.
Ombre
If previously it was believed that this technique was only suitable for long hair, now it is successfully performed even on short strands. The principle of operation is still the same - a soft smooth transition from one tone to another. The ends of the hair are lightened by about 2 or 3 shades. If the length allows, make three transitions. For very short haircuts, two will be enough. Ombre looks just perfect on a long bob, bob, pageboy and even a pixie with long bangs.
Sombre - fashionable coloring for long hair
Sombre is another popular coloring technique. It is very similar to ombre, but differs in a smooth and gradual transition. This technique uses several similar shades, and the gradation is performed not only horizontally, but also vertically. Coloring is ideal for girls who want to not only lighten their hair tone, but also avoid having to dye their regrown roots every week.

Shatush - a popular technique for coloring long hair
Shatush is a very fashionable and effective coloring option, which represents a transition from dark tones to light shades. Shashush differs from classic highlighting by using paint stretching. Dyeing takes place outdoors. With this coloring, your hair will become vibrant, naturally shiny and elegant.
The shatush technique is suitable for almost any age, color, type, length of hair, but there are still some restrictions. An obstacle to performing shatush is short hair length. Burning red hair also becomes a significant problem for this technique. But for such a case, there is an optimal solution - tinting all hair. The most successful coloring will be for those with dark hair, but you can also get a gorgeous result on light hair. The main thing to think about is what shade you should choose in order to change the tone of your hair.

Beautiful dyeing for long hair: coloring
Coloring is a technique for dyeing long strands of hair in different colors using one or more tones. In 2019, stylists introduced new trends in hairdressing. Now preference is given to thin, small orders, which look quite contrasting in color with the main tone.
What color to dye long hair: fashion coloring trends for 2021
Girls who keep up with the times often think about how to beautifully dye their long hair. We invite you to consider several current long hair coloring techniques that should be preferred in 2021.
- Highlighting and coloring - dyeing hair strands.
- Bronzing is a combination of light and dark shades along the entire length (usually the top of the hair is darker and the bottom is lighter).
- Ombre is a technique of soft transition from your color to a dye.
- Balayage is a coloring of strands that resembles highlighting, starting not from the roots of the hair, but from the middle.
Selecting the right technique and its high-quality execution are the key to obtaining a successful result.
If you're not ready for a major change, but want to freshen up your look, try dyeing a few strands. Depending on your preferences, you can choose one color or several. This is a great option for bright and active girls.
You can dye strands of long hair yourself using tinting compounds, coloring sprays or special colored crayons (however, the effect of such dyeing will become almost invisible after the first wash). A more reliable option is to go to a salon, where a master can dye your curls using permanent professional dyes.
- Colored strands.
Before dyeing long blond hair in different colors, you should carefully read the algorithm for carrying out the work:
- Decide on the number of strands to dye.
- Separate the curls into parts using bobby pins or elastic bands, and remove the rest of the hair.
- Apply coloring agent.
- Leave as per instructions, rinse.
When dyeing strands in different colors, do not allow the curls to come into contact with different dyes, otherwise the shades will mix. In addition, in the process of preparing for coloring, you should choose those tones that will be combined with each other, otherwise the head will look motley.
The procedure in question cannot be called simple, but it can highlight your individuality and add brightness to your image. Strands of different shades look good on young girls with regular facial features.
- How to dye long hair with henna.
It is believed that henna not only gives hair a certain shade, but also has healing properties.
Types of henna:
- Colorless. Does not color curls, is used to treat long hair, as well as restore it after perm. Adds volume and accelerates hair growth.
- Colored. Has a large palette of different shades.
- Basma (black henna).
Painting even with such a harmless dye must be carried out in compliance with a number of rules. To give long hair the desired shade, you should use the right amount of henna: enough, but not too much.
Before starting the procedure, it is recommended to lubricate the area near the hairline with Vaseline or fatty cream to prevent the dye from being absorbed into the skin.
When preparing henna, pour hot, but not boiling water, the temperature of which is approximately +70–80 °C. After the mixture has cooled to approximately +45 °C, it can be applied to the hair. Don't forget to use a cover to protect your clothing. Natural paint must be applied quickly, otherwise it may harden.
After you have evenly distributed the composition over your long hair, you need to wait the prescribed time (on average 45 minutes) and then rinse off the dye with water. It is recommended to rinse your curls until the water becomes clear.

Despite the naturalness of the components, henna dyeing has both positive and negative sides.
Advantages:
- absence of chemicals in the composition;
- regulates the activity of the sebaceous glands, helps solve problems with oily scalp;
- can be used at any age;
- gives a rich shade;
- makes curls shiny.
Flaws:
- unpredictability of the effect when applied to hair previously dyed with a chemical composition;
- dyeing with a chemical dye after henna can give your hair an unexpected shade;
- Henna cannot be used to cover gray hair;
- It has a straightening effect when coloring curly hair.
- "Ombre."
Every girl who follows fashion trends has probably heard of such a coloring method as “ombre”. This technique involves the use of two or three shades that smoothly transition into each other.
If you are interested in the question of how to dye your long hair at home using the ombre technique, we recommend that you carefully study the following algorithm:
- Divide your hair into sections.
- Apply paint starting from the ends and up to where you want one color to fade into the other.
- Wrap colored hair in foil for about 20 minutes.
- Remove the foil and apply paint slightly above the previously painted area (3-5 cm). Wrap the freshly painted area and leave for 5-7 minutes.
- Wash off the dye with shampoo.
If you dye long hair using the ombre technique, your face will become visually narrower and your image will look fresher. It is not necessary to make a hairstyle out of hair dyed using this method, because even just loose curls will look well-groomed and stylish.
Complex coloring with bright shades of light and dark long hair
For owners of light brown hair, bright colors are recommended: dark purple, light lilac, or pink. On dark hair, it is fashionable to lighten some strands, or dye them in bright colors: yellow, blue, red, blue. It is very effective to color in bed shades this year. And for extraordinary and brave girls, you can add a few strands of blue or pink.
Degrade coloring for dark long hair
Degrade is very popular among girls. For this technique I use several contrasting colors with a difference of 5-6 tones. They stretch along the entire length of the hair, starting with dark shades and ending with light, elegant tones. This coloring looks best on dark hair. The advantages of degrading are considered to be a natural look and hiding of regrown hair. The disadvantages of this complex coloring are that it cannot be done at home.

Hair coloring process at home
How to dye your hair at home quickly and efficiently? Follow the instructions below.
- Wear protective gloves and tie your hair into a bun.
- Take the rich cream and apply it along the hairline around the entire perimeter of the head. This is necessary in order to protect these areas of the skin from accidental staining if the paint gets on them.
- Now comb your hair thoroughly.
- During the dyeing process, you may encounter one difficulty: how to dye the hair on the back of your head if it is not visible? You are lucky if you have a dressing table at home with additional mirrors that can be turned so that you can see yourself from behind. If there is one, position its mirrors so that you can clearly see your hair from both the front and back. If there is no such dressing table, then you will need a second mirror, which needs to be fixed so that your head is reflected in it from behind.
- Divide your hair into two halves and apply the first portion of color with a brush to the parting. During the painting process, the paint must be applied so that there is not too little and not too much. Apply the paint with a brush and distribute it to the nearest areas of the hair. For better painting, you can carefully smear the paint with your fingers.
- After applying color to the parting, start coloring the roots of one side. To do this, take a comb and use it to separate a thin layer of hair from one side and move it to the other side. Color the resulting parting. Be careful not to miss the hair (the layers of hair should not be too thick for this). After coloring your hair, move another layer of hair to the opposite side and color the new parting again. According to this scheme, you need to dye your hair until the side is completely dyed.
- Then paint the roots on the other side in the same way.
- When both sides are painted, the hardest part comes - painting the roots at the back. How to paint the back of yourself? As we already said, a second mirror will help. We follow the same principle: we separate the partings on top, color the roots, add layers of hair and color the new partings to the end.
- When all the roots are painted, you can smear the paint with your fingers to achieve better coloring.
- Now you need to color the rest of your hair, it's not difficult. Dividing your hair into thin strands, color each section from root to tip, applying the dye evenly. When you finish dyeing, you can also mix the dye on your hair with your fingers.
- Now gather all your hair together, make a bun out of it, cover it with a plastic bag on top and put an old scarf on your head to secure it.
- Walk with the paint for as long as necessary. You should not walk longer than the time recommended in the instructions. Also remember that the longer you wear the dye, the more intense the shade will be and the stronger the staining will be.
- When the end of the dyeing period approaches, thoroughly rinse the dye from your hair without shampoo and apply a disposable balm. Leave the balm on your hair for 5-10 minutes, then rinse.
- It will be better if you let your hair dry naturally, because it has just gone through a lot of stress. But if you don’t have time, you can dry it, style it and enjoy your fresh hair color!
