Dyeing the ends of your hair - as it is also called, fashionable dyeing techniques

Depending on which color scheme predominates in the coloring and how the hair dye is applied, the name of the technology depends. The most popular coloring techniques are:

  1. Balayage.

  2. Ombre.

These four different techniques have common properties: firstly, the shade of the dye changes along the length of the curls and creates a contrast between the roots and ends of the hair. Secondly, after dyeing, frequent color correction is not required. Let's look at the features of each type of color.

Balayage

The balayage technique uses shades that are similar in color palette and only affects the ends of the curls without creating sharp transitions or gradients. The result is a natural shift of shades, which will be appreciated by lovers of naturalness who are far from radical changes in hairstyle and appearance.

Ombre

Ombre is performed in two techniques:

  • classic version;
  • sharp ombre.

    Edgy ombre

With a classic ombre, the hairdresser-colorist carries out a smooth transition of hair color from the root zone to the ends. The effect of two-tone coloring with a natural smooth horizontal border is created. This option for painting the tips goes well with both business style and dress code, as well as in everyday settings. Classic ombre is always elegant and appropriate.

Sharp ombre is less popular, although it is easier to perform: in this technique, the colorist only needs to achieve a pronounced contrast between the color of the ends of the curls and the main color of the hair.

Shatush

Shatush is a smoother ombre - a natural transition from a dark shade to a lighter one. Many compare shatush with the effect of burnt hair. In this technique, the roots remain darker and add volume to the hair, and the dye seems to stretch along the length - from the roots to the ends.

Dip dye

The dip-dye coloring technique involves using only bright colors and sharp transitions. The result is a contrast between the main length of the hair and the ends.

Options for dyeing ends on hair of different colors

Any technology can be used in two directions: to create a contrast between roots and ends or natural tints of different shades on the strands. Brunettes and brown-haired women may not touch the roots of their hair, but they will probably have to pre-lighten the ends. Blondes usually immediately start coloring their curls, and sometimes darken the roots a little to make the effect more visible.

On light ones

It can be difficult for blond young ladies to choose a color that is lighter than the base tone of their hair. You can try wheat, gold, amber, light brown. These shades are suitable for those with a warm color type of appearance.

For cold weather there is its own palette: ash, platinum, pearl, silver, as well as delicate lavender or strawberry pink tones.

Sometimes girls with white hair prefer to darken their roots, choosing natural colors: caramel, honey, light walnut, coffee-milk, copper, reddish.

The technique of deep dye on light curls involves the use of orange, pink, crimson or blue, green, blue.

On dark

Brown hair looks beautiful if you use shades of honey, gold, and caramel for the ends. Deep black hair color can be tinted with cool blonde, ash or silver colors.

For a more natural option - chocolate, coffee, nut, chestnut shades. A combination of burgundy and wine tones, as well as fashionable eggplant or marsala, copper or fiery palettes, looks good on dark curls.

For contrasting coloring, red, blue, purple and other bright colors are suitable for brunettes and brown-haired women.

Who do they go to?

Classic versions of the ombre, balayage and shatush techniques are suitable for any skin tone, allowing you to vary the contrast of the color transition from roots to ends, focusing on the ends of the hair. Below we will look at what these tip coloring options look like on different hair types.

For brown hair

Note! The most harmonious shade pairs for ombre on light brown hair can be colors such as: coffee, straw, beige, chocolate, amber, honey, walnut.

Natural smooth transitions of 2-3 tones from dark to lighter colors are suitable for dark brown hair. Ideal options are honey and wheat. Ash and white degrade will look advantageous.

For light brown curls, a smooth gradient from a caramel or honey shade to a silver or ash blonde is suitable. Another popular option is an inverted ombre with a stretch of color, darkening towards the ends.

Let's see how balayage looks on brown hair.

As is already clear from the name, the main feature of this procedure is the contrasting combination of dark and light shades. You’ve also probably already heard what coloring the ends of your hair using this technique is called – the French word is “balayage”.

Contrasting hair coloring

If we recall the previous method, the main task in its implementation was to create a very soft transition between shades.

Of course, the boundary between the shades softens a little, but there is no talk of any transitional shade stretched over half the length of the hair.

After this, wait a certain time and the entire mixture is washed off. The main difficulty in performing this painting lies precisely in the correctly made border between shades, since unprofessional execution is fraught with the risk of obtaining too sharp an effect.

    How to dye the ends of your hair temporarily?

    Sometimes you really want to paint your ends, but you’re not sure that the result will live up to your expectations. In this case, tonics come to the rescue; with their help, you can experiment with the color palette without harming your hair, and after a couple of weeks the dye will be completely washed off.

    Tonic is a coloring agent with a gentle effect that acts on the surface of the hair without penetrating into its structure. In addition, tonics contain care components that make hair shiny and healthy. Tonics are available in the form of balms, masks, shampoos and sprays. Should be used in accordance with the instructions. Most often, the tonic is simply applied to the ends of the hair, left for 15-30 minutes, and then washed off with water.

    To paint the ends with gouache you will need:

    • gouache of the desired color or several colors;
    • water;
    • toothbrush or brush.

    The coloring process looks like this:

    1. Comb the ends of the hair.
    2. Dilute the paint with water.
    3. Dip a brush or brush into the dye.
    4. Apply pigment to the ends.
    5. Comb the curl again and let the paint dry.
    6. After the paint has completely dried, comb the curls again so that the excess paint falls off.

    2. Swipe along the ends with a mascara brush.
    3. Wait until the paint dries.

    What's happened

    This technology helps to create any image: classic, chic or trendy, extravagant. The transition between “native” and colored strands can be soft, smooth or clear. To tint the ends, usually take 2-3 shades. They can sharply contrast with the natural color of the hair or differ from it by just a couple of tones.

    Types of hair coloring

    Ombre

    Ombre is one of the popular techniques among those who prefer a natural effect. For dyeing, take 2-3 shades of the same color, which harmoniously echo the natural color of the hair. When staining, 3–4 centimeters are usually removed from the root zone.

    Smooth transitions, a soft gradient from dark roots to lighter ends - thanks to this, the strands seem as if bleached by the sun.

    Advice. Ombre looks best on long hair, giving you the opportunity to experiment with contrasts and play of colors.

    There are many variations of the technique. Ombre can be classic, reverse, Scandinavian, multi-tonal, colored, and this is only part of the varieties.

    Balayage

    Balayage is often confused with shatouche or ombre because either color creates a contrast between the hair roots and the ends. How big the difference between them will be and whether the boundaries of the transitions will be clear or, on the contrary, smooth, depends on the original color, the length of the curls and the wishes of the client himself.

    The fundamental differences of balayage, which are its key features, are the application of paint in horizontal strokes, reminiscent of the swings of a broom (from French the term is translated as “revenge, sweep”), a clear definition of boundaries and the creation of the effect of shining curls.

    Coloring the ends in accordance with this technology can be even or asymmetrical.

    Dip dye

    Dip dye is an option for the most daring girls who are ready to experiment with their hair. The technique is also similar to ombre, but differs in a brighter, almost acidic palette for the ends of the strands. In this case, the roots can be lightened or left unchanged.

    Brunettes often choose red or purple to highlight their black hair, while fiery red shades look spectacular on those with chestnut locks. Among blond girls, rich colors are also in favor: blonde with pink ends is a common occurrence.

    Attention! The only limitation: deep dye is not suitable for mature women, since the flashy colors, coupled with the first wrinkles and other signs of age, look ridiculous.

    When coloring ombre and balayage, colored paints are also used, but they can be either bright (pink, purple, blue) or more restrained: wine, burgundy, eggplant, red, copper.

    Pros and cons of coloring

    Any technique for coloring the ends is called two-tone coloring. It has many advantages:
    Disadvantages of this coloring:

    For painting, you can use not only durable professional paints, but also tonics, as well as henna or even food coloring.

    Price in the showroom and for home use

    The average cost of a salon procedure is about 2 thousand rubles, and the maximum limit of the service may surprise especially impressionable girls: up to 8 thousand rubles. True, this price is offered by the price lists of metropolitan hairdressers; for regional establishments it is much more modest - about 3 thousand rubles.

    Reviews about coloring and products

    Anna, 32 years old, Moscow.


    “I always dye even the ends of my hair only in a professional beauty salon. I have long chosen ombre coloring for myself and I trust only my colorist. The fact is that I have thin, brittle hair, and ombre gives it visual volume. It is difficult to achieve a smooth transition on your own, but the master knows how and what to do. We use Estel hair dyes; my hairdresser trusts this brand. I’m pleased with the durability and the fact that the dye doesn’t damage my hair.”

    As you can see, there is nothing complicated!

    Note. Choose your paint responsibly. It is recommended to use high-quality mixtures that do not contain ammonia. Although their price is slightly higher, they will not damage the health of your curls as much as traditional ammonia and cheap brands.

    Doing balayage

    If you want to get colored ends of your hair or just white ones, but which will be radically different from the main hair, this method of applying dye is ideal for you.

    The balayage technique is as follows:

    • form a parting;
    • move the curls from both sides of the head forward;
    • Apply the paint of your choice to the ends;
    • Wrap some of the strands on which the paint is applied with foil;
    • after a while, see if the paint has started to work - if it starts to appear, comb your hair to blur the boundaries of different colors;
    • after combing, wrap the ends with foil again and hold for the remaining time;
    • After the time specified in the instructions has passed, rinse your hair.

    This method will be good if you want to get red ends of your hair or any other color.

    If you have a cascade or graduation

    If you have a cascade or graduated haircut, then coloring the ends has its own characteristics:

    • gather your hair into a ponytail at about the top of your head;
    • cover your head with cellophane so that only the tail peeks out - if your hair is long, then it is not necessary to cover it;
    • spread the paint over all the ends protruding from the tail;
    • wrap them with foil;
    • After the time specified in the instructions has passed, remove the foil and rinse your hair.

    • Gently take the strands with your fingers and run them along their ends, as if you were pinching them;
    • Make sure you don't miss any strands or individual hairs.

    If your hair is long or medium

    • separate the top strands;
    • secure them with hairpins so that the curls do not interfere with you;
    • using a brush, apply the coloring composition to the ends of the remaining hair;
    • then proceed as described above - wrap the ends with foil and wait the allotted time.

    Brunette with a twist

    Who said brown hair is boring? There are a few things you can do with any dark-haired woman's hair: darken it to a rich espresso brown with subtle caramel highlights, lighten it to a golden brown combination known as brond, or create even layering of color using the technique ombre with a dark color at the roots, gradually lighter towards the ends.

    Balayage, Ombre and Highlight - any look of your choice

    Sombre

    Soft ombre, or subtle ombre

    “Ombre” is a French word that literally means “evenly shaded.” The roots remain dark while the rest of the hair becomes lighter from mid-length using the balayage technique.

    Overgrown roots are a new trend! Cases when regrown roots look amazing

    This trend is also called "surfer locks": surfers have the best natural blonde locks - they have no beginning and no end. The sun lightens their hair in a way that creates the perfect transition from dark to light.

    But the days of obvious ombre, that faded color that looks like sun-bleached hair that's been grown out for 3 months, are coming to an end. Today there is a new, more sophisticated trend in fashion, which is dubbed “sombre”. Its essence is that the hair should be lightened only in places, and the ends completely.

    Two dyeing methods

    Great color combination

    If you are planning to make the ends of your hair reddish or any other color, you can do this using two methods:

    • temporary;
    • constructive.

    Let's look at any of them more carefully.

    Temporary coloring

    For this method, it is typical to use a special coloring powder or even ordinary food coloring.

    Direct your attention. The amount of dye used directly depends on what specific result you want to get in the end. The more powder you use, the brighter and more saturated the color will be.

    Using special powders you can give your hair temporary color.

    The sequence of actions when developing a catchy look will be as follows:

    • dilute the powder in warm water;
    • bring the solution to a boil;
    • pour it into a basin or other container;
    • dip your curls in the liquid;
    • wait a couple of minutes.

    This method is perfect for those girls who are not yet convinced that, for example, blue ends of their hair will suit them. After all, such dyes are quickly washed off, not a trace remains of them, they do not harm the structure and health of the curls. In fact, an impeccable method for those who love frequent experiences.

    But it has one significant drawback - it is suitable only for fair-haired girls. The dye may simply not adhere to black curls.

    general information

    If you doubt whether such coloring is necessary, we advise you to look at celebrities, because stars in particular are the undisputed trendsetters.

    So, at different times similar hairstyles were worn:

    • Christina Aguilera;
    • Lady Gaga;
    • Katy Perry;
    • Drew Barrymore and other singers and actresses.

    And if such people, who are under the close attention of millions of people, dared to perform color highlighting on the ends of their hair, then why don’t you do a similar fashionable hairstyle?

    Celebrities also fell in love with the colorful ends of their curls.

    Wonderful range

    It’s striking that you can choose almost any color for painting – the range amazes with its diversity.

    Namely, among the necessary colors the following stand out:

    • blue;
    • ultramarine;
    • rich orange;
    • reddish;
    • light green and others.

    Direct your attention. When choosing a specific tone, it is very important to consider how the color will combine with your natural hair color, skin color and eye color. If you take this into account, you can choose a paint that suits you and will make the image not only catchy, but also harmonious.

    You can perform the coloring function in any salon, but why pay money, especially if the cost of a specialist’s services is quite high, and you can apply the paint yourself?

    The abundance of colors allows you to create amazing combinations

    Advantages of self-dyeing

    Applying the coloring composition at home has a number of advantages compared to the salon:

    • low costs - only for the purchase of a coloring consistency:
    • saving time on going to the salon and back;
    • the possibility of coloring at any time when you have a free half hour.

    Direct your attention. The color of the ends can be changed only if you have long or medium hair. It is better not to carry out such an experiment with small strands - it will not look particularly presentable.

    Features of color combinations

    You don’t have to make colorful ends; you can use dark colors.

    Most of all, this method of hairstyle configuration is suitable for blondes or fair-haired girls, since they are able to make even dark ends of their hair. Well, in general, almost any color is suitable for fair-haired representatives of the lovely half of the world's population.

    Brunettes, especially hot brunettes, will have to put in a lot more effort and it is not a fact that they will be able to achieve, for example, blue ends of their hair. Since in this case, it will most likely be useful to pre-lighten the strands.

    When choosing a color, consider the natural tone of the curls

    If we talk about certain colors for brunettes, then if you want to get dark hair with blue tips, it is better to focus on a more saturated color, close to a purple tone.

    Also great with dark hair:

    • greyish;
    • reddish tone.

    But in any case, as already mentioned, it is imperative to pay attention to the skin and eyes - this is the only way to choose the best combination and create a truly extraordinary and unique image.

    Features of dyeing strands of different lengths

    Another spectacular idea for blondes: ask your stylist to dye the ends of your hair soft pink. The detail is not radical at all, but will instantly change your image. Daring!

    Short haircuts

    • Short curls need to be fixed with the ends up; this can be done using hairpins, bobby pins, or combing.
    • The paint is applied in a thick layer to a piece of foil, carefully passed along the strands, you can literally “feel” the ends of the curls.
    • The dye is left on the hair for 30 minutes. If the coloring composition is liquid, then you can dry your hair with a hairdryer.
    • The paint is washed off until the water becomes clear. It is necessary to use hair balm.
    • Curls of medium length are first divided into two parts, each of them is divided into 4 parts. The strands are secured with elastic bands.
    • The paint is applied to the foil and the ends of the resulting strands are carefully wrapped.
    • Leave the dye on for half an hour; to enhance the effect, you can wrap your hair in a terry towel.
    • Dyed curls are washed and a nourishing balm is used.

    Long strands

    • Can be colored with feathers or a straight line. In the two cases, the tactics will be completely different.
    • To dye with feathers, you need to separate the strands, hold each of them in a fist and apply the coloring composition to the tips. Then wrap the curl in foil and leave for a while.
    • If you want to create a clear line, then dyeing the ends of your hair must be done in layers.
    • Start with the bottom layer and pin the remaining strands using clips. Wrap the dyed curls in foil.
    • Separate a new strand and dye at the same level as the previous one.
    • All actions must be performed quickly, since the contact time of the curls with the coloring composition should be approximately the same.
    • Wash off the paint in the standard way.

    For dark-haired girls, the question is what color to dye the ends of light brown hair. You can dye the ends of your hair with tonic.

    If you are afraid of bold experiments with your hair, then there is an alternative to dye, in which case the result will last until the next wash. If you like the experiment, you can dye your curls a different color.

    Gouache and watercolor

    Paints for children's creativity contain a pigment that is completely safe. Give preference to this type of paint; the names should contain gouache and watercolor.

    This method of dyeing will look great on light hair. Shades for blondes can be very different from light pastels to bright and neon. It is better to apply the composition to the strands when the hair is tied up and you are wearing an outfit. Cover yourself with an old towel first until the paint dries completely. If one coat of paint is not enough, then repeat the coat.

    Selecting a shade
