Customers in the salons can choose their favorite option from the many available:

1. Balayazh.  Using the balayazh technique, the master paints only the tips or less than half the volume of the hair. As a result, curls are less affected. When using the balayazh technique, the hair does not look dyed. There is an effect, as if the tips just burned out a bit in the sun. One of the features of a balayazha is that the master uses no more than 3 shades. They should be close in palette so that the color changes smoothly and the hairstyle looks more natural. When performing balayazha on dark hair, it is necessary to lighten that part of the curls that will be dyed. Another feature of this technique is that not all tips can be painted, but only individual strands throughout the volume.
   
2. Shatush.  Shatush in some variations is a bit like normal highlighting. Lightening hair does not start from the very roots, but a little lower and the paint is applied to the strands to the end of the length. As a result, the tips should become brighter. For shatusha used from 2 to 5 colors. The fewer shades, the more natural the hairstyle looks. The strands are colored randomly. Shatush more suitable for dark-haired girls. On light curls, he does not look so bright.
3. Degrade.  Degrade is a painting of strands in 2 colors. It is somewhat reminiscent of an ombre, but in this variant of staining a clear border is visible. Usually the strands are divided in half. The lower ones are painted in a light tone, and the upper strands remain dark. The advantage of this option was that it can be done independently. But it is worth considering that the degradation on short hair will not look. This technique is designed for medium and long curls.
4. AirTouch.  A fairly new method of staining, which is carried out using a hairdryer. With the help of air, all small hairs are removed. The remaining curls are stained. Going down to the ends, the hair will be lighter and richer.
   
5. Ombre.  Ombre is another form of complex staining. 2 colors are used here. The roots are dark and the tips are light. Ombre has several options: Classic ombre differs in that the roots are
   painted in dark color, and the tips in light. With such staining, you do not need to visit the salon often. When such a hairstyle gets bored, the girl can cut off the colored tips. “Overgrown roots.” Color change occurs just below the temporal. Shades should differ by several tones from the main color of the hair, so as not to get too sharp a transition. Ombre is the opposite. With this option, the roots are painted in bright colors, and dark paint is applied to the ends. Tail coloring or pony tail. The paint is applied in such a way that if you braid a high tail, it will be lighter. And the rest of the curls will remain dark.If a girl has a bang, then she is usually also painted. Sometimes individual strands are chosen, and sometimes completely.
6. Bronding.  Bronding combines highlighting and tinting of hair. With this technique, several shades of similar color are used. As a result, the hair shimmers, smoothly moving from one tone to another. The strands are colored randomly. It is important to combine colors correctly. Due to the change in shades, the curls look more voluminous.
7. California colorizing.  California colorization or California highlighting refreshes the image. It has less effect on the hair than with conventional highlighting.

With California highlighting, you can make a smooth transition, and leave the tips a little lighter. Changing shades allows you to achieve a natural look. Such staining is best done by specialists.
   
8. Marble staining.  For marble staining, only 1 shade is used. Some strands can be lightened first, and then tinted. Due to the fact that one part of the strands will be clarified, and the other will remain with a natural color, tinting will create a smooth transition. The most effective marble dyeing will look on long hair. In this case, a small amount of hair is colored, which spoils the curls less.

11. Asymmetric coloring.  Asymmetric coloring is best for the same haircut. This staining takes place using a horizontal or vertical method. The master selects a specific area on the head and colors it. In most cases, paint is applied to the bangs or temporal. This type of coloring should be preferred to girls with short haircuts. It looks much more spectacular precisely on this length of hair.
