Balayazh is a modern type of coloring, the use of which brings fresh notes to the created image. A salon procedure, or dyeing done at home, will help visually increase the volume of hair, hide gray hair and emphasize the unique features of each girl’s face.

Features of the balayazh technique

The balayazh technique provides for partial clarification of individual curls without changing the overall tonality of the hairstyle. When performing, 2-4 shades are used, which are only 1-2 tones different from the main hair color.

Thus, against the general background, areas imitating sun glare are distinguished. The hairstyle becomes visually more voluminous, and the limited scope of the use of dyes significantly reduces the dyeing damage to the general condition of the strands.

Features:

• If painting is carried out for the first time, it is advisable to pre-cut the hair. Changing the order of the procedures will lead to the violation of harmony in the image.
• The technique is difficult to conduct, and is not suitable for independent execution.
• To minimize the harm of lightening, balayazh technique is used on stale hair. Thus, the effect on the ends of the hair is reduced, their dryness and brittleness is prevented.
• When choosing shades, sharp color transitions should be avoided. The purpose of the technique is to create the effect of burnt hair.
• Burnout of dark hair is not possible under natural conditions. This is worth remembering when choosing shades for lightening. In each case, a strictly individual approach is used.
• The technique looks best on dark hair due to a more pronounced effect, but this type of staining on light and red curls has been successfully applied.
• The color transition line can be smooth or pronounced, but a clear border of the processed strands is not traced.
• The basal area of the hair is not affected by the brightening composition. Often, masters use tinting agents for a subtle change in natural color. This allows you to soften the transition during hair regrowth.

Benefits

disadvantages

The technique has no age restrictions. Equally good staining looks on young girls and older ladies. To lighten a balayazh, the length and structure of the hair is not important. Successfully executed technique emphasizes facial features, visually rejuvenates the owner. The technique helps mask gray hair without resorting to a complete hair dye. A hairdresser will have to visit much less often than with a full dye. Balayazh looks good on curly curls. Even sharp color transitions visually soften due to curls. On straightened hair, the technique will look completely different and diversify the image. Balayazh is ideal for short graded haircuts like bob or bob. There is no problem of overgrown roots. Stain renewal is required every 4 months.

Using the services of an inexperienced master or conducting an independent procedure can lead to an unaesthetic result. The technique is not carried out on dyed hair. In this case, the tips of the curls can be painted in a pleasant red shade, or in a dirty brown color. Balayazh requires daily hair care and styling. The best option is to wind all the hair or just the ends. Some cases suggest applying a clarifier to pre-combed hair strands. This technique makes dyeing more perfect, but causes additional damage to the hair. An unsuccessful staining result cannot be corrected immediately. Before the second procedure, at least 25-30 days should pass, depending on the condition of the hair. Balayazh is considered a gentle technique, but hair will require additional care in the form of special shampoos, masks or balms from the “for colored hair” line.

The difference between a hut and other popular staining techniques:

• Shatush

Like balayazh, shatush makes it possible to achieve the effect of curls burnt out in the sun, carried out on straight or curly hair. There is no restriction on the initial hair color.

Most often, the entire length of the curls is processed, but only the tips can be stained. Tone transitions are noticeable minimally, but the line of transition of the painted part to the unpainted is well pronounced in the horizontal direction.

When performing the technique, the dye is applied with short strokes, foil or cellophane is not used. The hair is processed gradually, in strands of 0’8 inch thick, pre-combed.

Shatush requires an adjustment every 4 months.

• AIRTOUCH

The technique creates a glare in the hair. It has no restrictions on the initial color of the hair. The main difference is the technique. Strands with a width of 0’4 inch are blown by a stream of cold air to filter out weak hairs.

Staining is carried out at 30-50% of the original volume. Foil is used to isolate the treated strands. Color correction is carried out every 6 months.

• Ombre
  

The method is developed for dark-haired girls; it involves smooth lightening of hair from roots to ends (classic version) or in the opposite direction (reverse ombre). All hair is processed, not individual strands. Correction is required once every 6 months or longer, since the roots remain unpainted.

• Bronzing

It repeats all the principles of balayazh technique, the main difference is the placement of the transition line between the painted and unpainted areas. Bronding covers most of the hair, the transition is shifted to the basal zone, retreating 0’8 – 1’2 inch.

• Marble staining

Only one tone of paint is used, lying perfectly on dark hair. Uneven lightening gives hair extra volume.

• Highlighting

Highlighting from the balayazh technique differs in the direction of applying the paint. When highlighting, the paint is distributed vertically, and the transition border is more pronounced.

Stain preparation

Balayazh (hair coloring) at home is a time-consuming process, so stylists recommend contacting professional masters.

The specialist will accurately select the appropriate shades and sequence for combining them, choose the appropriate technique for the procedure and control the process according
to the standards of technology and the individual characteristics of the client.

The cost of such services is quite high, so many resort to the use of balayazh technique at home. When choosing a self-staining, the first performance may not bring the desired result, but compliance with the painting technology will achieve an acceptable effect.

Before the procedure, damaged hair is restored and saturated with moisture. It is a well-known fact that dry locks absorb paint better, but the color falls unevenly and the hue fades. Split ends cut off.

Do not bleach freshly washed hair, this will increase the harm of the procedure.

Color selection

General principles of color matching:

• The basic rule is a harmonious combination of skin tones and curls. Pink or light skin suits red color, olive skin looks good with black hair, bronze skin harmonizes with brown hair, light skin looks advantageous with all shades of blond. To preserve the natural appearance, it is worth choosing shades several tones lighter or darker than the natural color.
• An important role in choosing paint is the color type, which is determined based on the natural color of the hair. Warm colors and shades are suitable for girls of the summer color type, winter color type corresponds to a cold palette.
• When choosing hair color online, it is worth considering that only in the virtual world all manipulations are performed simply and quickly. In real life, repainting a brunette into a blonde is a lengthy and costly process.
• The older the woman, the brighter the paint should be to effectively mask gray strands. Dark curls visually add several years to real age, while light shades rejuvenate the face.
• When choosing paint on a palette in a store, it is worth remembering that the hair from the palette was previously completely highlighted, and only after that it was dyed in the color presented. In real conditions, the result may vary depending on the original hair color. Manufacturers often indicate the expected result on hair of different colors.

Taking into account fashion trends and general principles of color selection, experts made recommendations for women, based on the original color of the curls.
