Sometimes it can be so difficult to decide who we want to become today: a fiery brunette with a burning gaze, a gentle blonde with a cloud in her eyes, or a curly-haired red-haired beast. The natural shade of your hair inevitably gets boring, even if it suited you perfectly for the first twenty years of your life. Previous coloring options also set one’s teeth on edge over time...
It is in such situations, familiar (we are 100% sure of this!) to every woman, that a modern and very relevant hair coloring procedure comes to the rescue. This is such a special magic that allows you to take “and this”, “and that”, and also “I want this too!” Happiness for the inner little girl who does not want to give up one thing for the sake of other temptations. An event worth celebrating after all!
Coloring, which has been fashionable in recent years, is dyeing hair in several shades at once. These shades can be either close to each other and the main color of the curls, or very different - or even contrasting!
There are practically no restrictions in hair coloring: you can give the colorist a vague task in the style of “I want it lively and with pink highlights,” so that in his magical laboratory he will select three or more shades for a worthy answer to your request. Of course, taking into account your natural color type, face type and other parameters that you want to share with him: for example, lifestyle, basic wardrobe capsule and food preferences (just kidding).
Thanks to this color variability, there are many coloring techniques - for different lengths and different types of hair. We'll talk about them a little later. In the meantime, hello, rationalists! — let’s evaluate coloring from the point of view of its advantages and disadvantages.
Pros and cons of coloring
The undoubted advantages of this coloring include the following:
- endless variability - you can color your hair in absolutely any color, there are no limits to creativity and self-expression;
- there is a suitable combination of shades for any type of appearance, hair, wardrobe and character;
- you can do both the most natural hair coloring and very bright ones;
- this method of dyeing emphasizes the texture of the hair;
- coloring makes the hair visually more voluminous .

There are, of course, disadvantages.
- For quality coloring, it is important to contact an experienced colorist.
- Repeating a previous coloring can sometimes be difficult: the more complex the coloring was, the higher the risk of “failing to match the tone.”
- Brightly colored hair needs to be refreshed frequently.
But you don’t have to worry about hair damage due to bleaching. Now colorists add SmartBond from L'Oréal Professionnel or even take Light Master from Matrix with a protective acid bonder in the composition. Overall, there are plenty of ways to prevent breakage and dryness.
Suitable hairstyles for coloring dark hair
A variety of coloring options allows you to harmoniously combine it with any haircut . Multicolor dyes look good on such hairstyles.
Kare
On a bob haircut, you can do both horizontal and vertical coloring . Many girls choose natural tones for this hairstyle, which looks very harmonious.
For an elongated square
With an elongated bob, the strands that frame the face are often highlighted and the coloring is done more horizontally with a smooth transition.
Kare on a leg
For such a haircut, both natural tones and non-standard bright combinations can be used. You can select separate zones.
On a bob with bangs
If you have bangs, zonal coloring is often used, where only they are colored. It is also important to dye the bangs and ends in the same color.
Cascade
The texture of cascading haircuts is emphasized by vertical coloring of shades close to each other. Also, torn ends can stand out as a separate color.

The closest dyeing method to us: as in highlighting, the strands are dyed along the entire length - from roots to tips. However, unlike highlighting, the master takes not one, but several shades to work with each strand. Platinum or chocolate ombre will no longer be boring and “buttoned up”!
Styling tips from SalonSecret experts. Longitudinal coloring looks especially expressive on light waves. To create this effect, apply Spiral Queen from L'Oréal Pro , and then curl them with a styler , alternating from face to face for a more natural result. Fix the styling with medium hold varnish Infinium Pure Soft .

A dazzling spectacle: to work in this technique, the colorist chooses the brightest shades : for example, pink, blue, lilac and ultramarine. Another option is a combination of shades of the same color scheme, for example several red dyes of different tones.
Styling tips from SalonSecret experts. Add shine to your hair with Miracle Creator from Matrix - it will also serve as thermal protection. After this, set a large-diameter curling iron to a temperature of up to 200 degrees and form curls, randomly curling their tips in and out. Spray your hair with L'Oréal Pro 's Ring Light to add even more shine, which you can never have too much of on bright locks.
