To do this, follow a series of actions:

Pick up paint to lighten. Preferably 2–3 tones lighter than the main color of the curls. Prepare non-metallic dishes and a spatula for mixing the coloring composition.
Comb your hair and decide what kind of highlighting you will perform. The standard scheme is to separate the strands, to prepare pieces of foil. Then lay the curl on the foil and coat with paint with a brush. Foil wrapped, go to the next strand.

Contraindications when highlighting on red hair

This is an additional burden on curls that were subjected to aggressive components. Plus, the result of highlighting is unpredictable. The melanin accumulated over the years of painting reacts. Nevertheless, clarification is possible, the main thing is to follow certain rules.

Contraindications when highlighting red hair:

Curls, painted with henna. When entering with a clarifier natural dye gives distorted shades. If you do not want to turn into a bright orange, then warn the master in advance about the method of obtaining red locks.
Hair dyed with tint balms. During highlighting, light strands acquire a copper hue, and dark ones attract a red color. Do not act on the hair with aggressive components, if the curls are rare and weak.
Strands damaged by perm. Additional exposure to paint will start the process of drying curls. Hair becomes like a colored washcloth. To avoid this, restore the curls with nutrients, and then proceed to highlighting.

Red hair will again light up with a bright flame, if you choose the right shade and carry out the procedure. Highlighting on red hair is suitable for cutting a bob, emphasizes the beauty of long strands, gives curly curls volume.

Advantages and disadvantages

The procedure refreshes hair, makes it modern, gives refinement to red hair.

Among the shortcomings, it is possible to single out the fact that red hair very often turns yellow due to prolonged exposure to paints, so you should not get involved in this procedure if you want to keep the natural color of the curls. In addition, due to the fact that the pigment of red hair is very stable, there are difficulties with the selection of paint, as the usual clarifier is not enough.

Highlighting on red hair - how to do at home: step by step instructions

If the blondes and brunettes do the procedure is not a big deal, then with red hair is more difficult.The natural pigment is strong and when brightening gives only a copper shade.

And when in contact with a synthetic dye to predict the exact result is not possible.

Therefore, products based on fruit amino acids and natural components are more effective.

The period of wearing colored strands is significantly different. If the selected color is close to natural tone, then the following procedure can be performed only after a year. A contrasting shades tint monthly, but only on the site regrown hair.

If henna was previously used to give the locks a rich hue, the highlighting procedure should be abandoned. The same applies to the perm. A weakened structure is recommended to pretreat and repair.

Masters strongly advise not to experiment at home, but to confide in an experienced specialist.

After all, if the wrong selection results require rework, which means that the hair structure will again be subjected to the detrimental effects of chemicals.

What colors will fit

Auburn strands are classified by type:

• Autumn - has a bright rich shade, resembling rust,
• spring - is characterized by a soft shade with a slight redness,
• winter is more like burned straw with a light overflow.

For the type of "Autumn" fit tone:

For the type of "Spring" is characterized by the tone:

For the type of "Winter" fit cold shades:

Stylists recommend not to use cardinal combinations. Red-haired women are more suited to tones that are lighter or darker than natural strands by 2-3 tones. The multi-colored highlights with a combination of red, cognac and white colors will look impressive.

The coloring of thin strands is carried out more often with the selection of shades:

Such colors will create a more natural effect and the hair-do will harmoniously complement the overall look.

Types of highlighting for red

Red hair is characterized by a large thickness. This complicates the staining process.

If the selection of dark paint can still be sorted out, then the clarification should be approached with caution, because a simple oxidizer 3% is indispensable.

To obtain the maximum light tone used 9-12% solution, which has a more aggressive effect on the hair structure. Therefore it is not recommended to resort to this procedure frequently.

Mainly used 2 ways of highlighting: with a cap and with the help of foil.

On hair up to 15 cm it is rational to use a cap. The dyeing process consists of pulling thin strands out of the holes over the entire part of the hair coat or its separate part. The thicker the strand will be formed, the shading will be saturated.

Next, perform the usual procedure with applying paint on the hair and keeping time. After the time, the chemical composition is washed off first with the strands, then with all the hair. Nourishing mask protects against the harmful effects of synthetic components.

More time consuming process is highlighting with the use of foil. Thin strands are separated by a special comb on a horizontal parting, after which a coloring matter is applied to them. Next, the strand is tucked into a foil envelope. This is how the entire hairline is processed in turn. After the waiting time, the head is rinsed and treated with balm.

By type highlighting on red curls can be:

• white, the main difference of which is clarified thin strands,
• small, distributed over the head rarely (the result is barely noticeable),
• Californian, more reminiscent of the effect of burnt strands.

California highlighting is considered the safest, since beeswax is used as a clarifier. In addition, the method does not lead to frequent procedures, as regrown roots become visible after 3-6 months.

How to do at home

Before you make highlighting at home should be excluded contraindications to the procedure. You also need to make sure that the dye will give the desired effect. To do this, you should first apply a little paint on a thin strand from an inconspicuous area of ​​hair.

Necessary means and tools:

• tank for dilution of the dye (ceramic or glass),
• brush for the distribution of the composition on the strands,
• comb with a long sharp handle
• cap (strips of foil 3 cm longer than a strand),
• hair clips
• measuring cup
• hair dryer
• cape on the shoulders
• gloves,
• dye (preferably without ammonia content),
• balm.

If a Supra clarifier is chosen, it is recommended to use an oxidizer of 6% or 9%. In extreme cases, with a strong natural pigmentation, a 12% solution is allowed.

Walkthrough

1. Outline the location of the strands and their thickness.
2. Comb your hair. Pre-wash and use cosmetics should not be.
3. Dissolve the paint in the container by combining pigment and oxidizer. Follow the instructions.

If the procedure is performed on short hair, then you need to wear a cap and remove strands of equal thickness from the holes. In the case of foil, it is necessary to separate the strand, thin it with the sharp end of the comb and place a strip of foil under the bottom. The process is characterized by alternately applying paint on horizontal partings.

First, the occipital part is processed, then the sides and front.

Precautionary measures:

• Before you make highlighting at home, you should eliminate the contraindications to the procedure to conduct the procedure only on healthy hair,
• it is unacceptable to use dyes after plant pigments,
• if, when applied to strands, the paint gets on the skin or clothing, you need to instantly remove it by washing it in water,

• hair care requires an approach.

Skillfully refreshing appearance can be taking into account not only the hair color, but also the length. Consultation with a stylist will help not only to bring newness to the image, but also not to lose the natural attractiveness, which the nature of red-haired beauties has endowed.

Spectacular reddish highlights on dark hair: instructions and photos before and after

Recently, very few girls with dark or even black hair, who have highlighting, can be noticed.

There are many different types of highlighting, but today we will understand what highlighting is suitable for brunettes.

Few girls know that dark and brown hair looks great after highlighting in a red color.

Who is suitable for reddish highlights on dark hair?

We all know that there are many different shades of red: from orange to half-chestnut. Let's see what color type suits what shade.

• Pale face and bright eyes. Owners of a pale face and bright eyes fit light colors.
• Dark skin and brown / green eyes. Copper shades are ideal for charming girls with dark skin and brown or green eyes.

If you have light brown or brown hair, the choice of suitable colors increases for you: honey, nutty, coffee and chestnut shades.

If your hair is blacker than night and warm skin color, then shades more close to red color will suit you.

Choice strands: small or large, rare or frequent?

As mentioned earlier, there are many different types of highlights. Highlighting for brunettes in red and red colors is called American.

Indeed, now you can see a lot of different variants of American highlighting not in ginger shades, but even in green or purple. But initially it was the partial dyeing in red that was called American. If you want to make the transition smoother and almost unnoticeable, then you need to take shades that are close to your main color.

And if you are a more extreme person, eager to always be the center of attention, then the colors should contrast as much as possible with your color and be as bright as possible. But newfangled trends still bore fruit. Now it looks very impressive American highlights with the addition of bright contrasting colors.

When is it not recommended to carry out the procedure?

Of course, there are also various subtleties that can prevent the master from highlighting your hair.

First you need pay attention to the condition of your hair. If your hair is in a terrible state, the tips are bitten, and the strands themselves are brittle and dry, then you will have to postpone the trip to the salon and start bringing the hair in order.

To do this, you need to wash your head with special shampoos rich in keratin, and smear various masks of either factory-made or home-made with your own hands.

Let the procedure itself and painless, but if you make highlighting closer to the roots, then you need track your scalp.

If there are various sores, scratches or cuts on your head, then you should wait until complete healing or consult your hairdresser or even your doctor.

Also needed follow the purity of hair. No, no, you do not need to wash your hair right before going to the salon. On the contrary, you should wash your hair two days before going to the salon.

This is explained by the fact that the greasy secrets that prevent us from normal life during the procedure will protect the follicles from damage.

Reference. Perm, dyeing, carving - all these aggressive procedures push your trip to the hairdresser. After these procedures, you must wait a month and only then go to the salon.

It is no secret that the red hair on the dark hair almost never will take. Therefore, if you want to make a make-up for yourself at home or follow the wizard’s work, then you need to know the procedure for creating your hairstyle.

The very first thing your master should do is to lighten those strands that he will paint in red. This is necessary so that the red color as best as possible and brighter took on your dark, brown hair.

If the master misses this procedure or you want to save on additional paint, then the red color may not apply at all.

You can use different ways. Today we consider only two ways - this is a miracle of rubber and a special cap.

Helpers-rezinochki

With this method, girls with long hair can easily cope with highlighting at home.

1. First you need to prepare rezinochki. It is best to take the gum, which you do not mind.
2. Next, you need to separate the strands with a hairbrush and tie them with rubber bands. Strands should be of such thickness that the highlighting does not seem to be a complete coloration of the head.
3. Next you need to lighten these strands with a special compound. The main thing that the composition was not too concentrated. For this, it is better to select the composition together with a knowledgeable person.
4. Further, after lightening the strands, we need to apply a red or red color on the same curls.
5. Sit on the packing time.
6. Then you go to the bath and wash off the paint without removing the gum.
7. After shampooing, you can cut the gum.
8. Further, if you like, you can apply balms or masks to give hair volume and softness.

Special cap

This hat can be purchased in special stores. It is not expensive, which allows to make highlighting is not expensive.

1. First you need to put a hat on your head.
2. Then, using various hooks or the tip of a comb, pull the strands through special holes on the cap.
3. Depending on what frequency of strands you want, you should paint a different amount. If you want a very thickly dyed head, then you can paint every strand, if the middle one - then every second, and if rare - then every third.
4. Again you need to wait for the required period of time.
5. Now, without removing the cap, wash your head. It is necessary to rinse well, without being afraid to wash off the excess.

How long will the result last?

If you decide to make highlights, then you naturally want the color to last as long as possible and not fade. For this it is necessary to strengthen the hair with various masks.

After several weeks, many girls noticed that the hair was becoming dry and brittle, and the color was gradually washed off and dimmed. This is a normal phenomenon if you do not change the hair care after highlighting. Naturally highlighting and lightening hair cause them harm. Hair must be treated after these procedures.

First you need to change your shampoo. Shampoo should be changed to a richer keratin or shampoo for brittle and damaged hair.

Next, you need to maintain the condition of your hair with various masks and maintain color with various tonics.

Possible mistakes

Naturally, it is very easy to make mistakes, especially if you are a young lady with no experience or go to an untested hairdresser. That is why you should not be home-made and go to a proven good hairdresser, because if your hair is just burned, then you have to spend twice as much money on the treatment of your hair.

A common mistake is incorrect waiting time. That is, if you overdo the paint, then your hair will be spoiled. If, after dyeing, you notice a grayish tint on your strands, then you have burned your hair and patience is the only way out. Then you will have to wait until new, healthy hair grow back.

Therefore, in order to avoid mistakes, it is better to paint in the salon with a professional.

The main thing is that at home it will be almost impossible to avoid the appearance of yellowness. To prevent this effect, the master must use:

• ammonia-free light paint. For the best effect, light purple is very well suited,
• purple tonic or shampoo
• tint paints of light tones.

It should be concluded that purple color perfectly helps to get rid of the yellow shade on the hair. A good master, after brightening individual strands of dark shades, always immediately after washing his head applies tinting agents in order to avoid a yellow shade.

What to do in case of failure?

If you or your “master” made a mistake, then you need to start to figure out exactly what the error is.

If your highlighting has become similar to full staining, then you need to do the so-called "reverse staining". The procedure is identical, just instead of red, your hairdresser will take a color closer to your main one.

If you notice that the roots have a different indent, at a rate of 5 mm, then you need to undergo correction of root indents and align the highlighting.

Attention. If your previous pseudo-master made a mistake, you can’t go to him in any way.

The rules of hair care after highlighting on dark hair do not differ from the rules that relate to light brown hair.

After highlighting the hair must go through three stages:

• recovery,
• treatment of damaged strands,
• color protection.

During recovery, you need to maintain their condition and in every possible way try not to aggravate it. If you do not use a variety of special shampoos, masks and tonics, then your hair will turn into straw and it will be very difficult and almost impossible to return their former lightness and softness.

And then you just need to maintain the state of various masks and consult with your hairdresser about further treatments.

Highlighting style for different hair lengths

On short hair highlighting looks very impressive. All styles, except American, are suitable for them, as the distance from the roots to the ends is small, and it will look strange to say the least. Dark or frequent highlighting is perfect.

Medium length hair is just perfect for a similar dyeing procedure. Light coloring coloring helps to add volume to thin hair, and dark or red style helps to emphasize the expression of eyes.

It also looks good light style, with golden and ashy tones.

Highlighting using foil

This technology is the oldest and most common. Long strands are only colored with her help. At the core of the process is the sealing of each colored strand into a foil wrap. To do this, pieces of this material are selected twice as long as a strand of hair, and about 10–12 cm in width.

Stripe highlighting

The hairdresser's tool, which produces automatic coloring of the strands, is called a stripper. When using this technology, a master who produces coloring can only divide the hair into thin strands and lay them in a stripper, which performs the operation in automatic mode. It regulates the flow and flow of the coloring composition.

Perfect for owners of short hair and medium length strands. When highlighting long hair, this technology is not used. It is based on the use of a special cap with holes. Through them, with the help of a hook, we get strands, after which they are colored. The cap does not allow the dye to get on the hair, which will not be painted.

Technique staining "feathers", perfect for owners curly hair.

The frequency of renewal of colored strands depends on the combination of their color with the tone of the main hair. If there is a game of colors (bright contrast), then it will be necessary to update every 2-3 months, tinting the regrown roots. Low-key colors that differ in several tones from the main one can be updated. in 6-8 months.

After the procedure of coloring, hairstyle requires special care. Follow the rules listed below and it will help you maintain the saturation of color, shine and health of your hair:

1. Limit the use of thermal devices (hair dryer, curling iron, tongs, etc.). If possible, stop using them, but if this is not possible, use them no more than twice a week.
2. Use feeding and restoring masks regularly. They protect hair from the effects of external factors.
3. When washing your hair, use organic shampoos (based on natural ingredients). Do not purchase detergents. Containing in their composition oxidants and alkalis, they quickly wash away the coloring composition and adversely affect the health of the hair.
