Radical highlighting on regrown roots: technology of performance, paint

Modern coloring offers a lot of options for girls who want to change hair color and image. But most of the techniques are united by one big minus - the need to constantly tint the roots. Some girls, realizing that now you need to spend time and money every month to update your hairstyle, refuse the idea of ​​changing the shade of hair. Totally for nothing! Bring up the roots in order and not harm the length of the technique will help root highlighting, which will cope any colorist.

Features of the procedure

Human hair grows quickly enough, after 3-4 weeks, the regrown roots begin to spoil the appearance. The more they grow, the more they are visible. The catastrophic situation depends on the type of staining.

Modern technologies of highlighting (Californian, armoring, shatush, balayazh or ombre) need to be corrected with the help of root staining every six months. More classical techniques do not begin from the middle or third of the length to the tips, but from the roots. After 1-2 months, the transition between the clarified zones and the regrown natural shade becomes too obvious. Correction required.

The main feature of the basal melirovaniya is that the paint is not applied to the entire length, but only on the roots. Due to this procedure can be considered one of the most gentle staining. But the main difficulty is connected with this: you need to choose a color that perfectly matches the shade of bleached strands. Otherwise, the transition will be too noticeable and the meaning of the correction will disappear.

Important! It is not recommended to apply paint on those areas that have already been discolored earlier. The hair after the removal of the pigment is weakened, and even with constant treatment, repeated exposure to the brightener will be disastrous.

Advantages of the procedure

Girls who have decided to make highlighting, it is worth preparing for the fact that now every couple of months will have to visit the hairdresser. Fortunately, the procedure does not harm and its advantages are obvious:

• the paint does not fall on the entire length, so you can not worry about the quality of the hair (especially weak or undertreated),
• no need to spend long hours at the hairdresser,
• tinting the roots will take a minimum of color, which means that basal highlighting will cost a mere penny.

The intervention is minimal, and the result is great. Even if a girl last time dyed her hair a few months ago, they will look as if she made a highlighting just now.

What is required

Hairdressers use three components for coloring the roots:

1. Lightening powder. If a girl has naturally dark and thick hair, she can only lighten it to the desired shade with a powder. Before the procedure, it is diluted with an oxidizing agent in certain proportions. It is better not to experiment with dosages and entrust this question to a professional. Otherwise, burn-through hair with an ugly yellow shade provided!
2. Special Blond. The dye is recommended for dark-haired girls: brown-haired, dark blond or brunette. The peculiarity of the paint is that it is used on unpainted hair. For the regrown roots, the blond special fits perfectly. The dye, like the brightening powder, is mixed with an oxidizing agent (often in a 2: 1 ratio).
3. Tonic or resistant paint. For many girls, the natural pigment is difficult to remove, so the hair after discoloration retains a reddish or yellow shade. Ideal basal highlighting requires color purity, which can be achieved with natural colors.

It is strongly not recommended to experiment with basal highlighting yourself. One of the reasons is the high probability of incorrect selection of the proportions of the bleaching mixture, as a result of which it is possible to spoil the colored strands considerably.

What it is?

Hair usually grows by 1.5 cm per month, but often less. If we perform highlighting or other staining, after 1-1.5 months, regrown roots will be noticeable. If they are bright, then you can do nothing, still the view will be original. And with dark roots the contrast will be noticeable, therefore the help of the master is required.

Radical highlighting for regrown roots involves the correction of previously done work:

1. Lightening agent is applied to the root part without affecting the rest of the curls.
2. The master chooses the paint so that the contract is not strongly visible.
3. Often the procedure is combined with tinting, if the highlighting was performed on colored strands.

If the highlighting is done by a professional master, you get an excellent result. Therefore, if there are no skills for staining, do not do it yourself. No less important is the choice of high-quality professional paint, since it affects the result of highlighting.

Radical highlighting technology

Before proceeding with the procedure, it is necessary to prepare the necessary inventory. It will take:

• clarifier,
• paint,
• mixing bowl
• brush,
• hairbrush,
• plastic hair clips,
• foil strips.

All ingredients must be on hand. The phased highlighting process looks like this:

1. In the bowl mix the clarifier and the oxidizer in the right proportion. It is usually indicated on the packaging. The final consistency should be creamy, so that it does not flow out of the foil.
2. Hair is carefully combed and divided into 3 identical zones: two temporal and central, which includes the back of the head and forehead.
3. Determined by the width of the painted strands. You need to start from the neck. The first strand is laid on the foil, after which the brightener is applied to the root zone. The foil is wrapped first at the edges, then at the bottom.
4. Gradually stained and wrapped in foil all zones.
5. It is necessary to withstand the clarifier according to the instructions. Typically, the time is 15 to 45 minutes.
6. The foil is removed, the strands are thoroughly washed first with water, then with shampoo.
7. If necessary, the root zone is tinted in a suitable shade.
8. After dyeing it is necessary to apply a care balm and dry the hair.

It is difficult to re-dyeing at home, especially if the entire length is gilded with fine strands. During the application of paint, it is important to ensure that bleachable strands repeat the same pattern as on previously painted hair. Only in this case an excellent result is guaranteed.

Tips for perfect coloring

For a true professional to make high-quality highlighting of the root zone is a simple question. What can not be said about the homegrown colorists. In order not to cry because of damaged hair or an ugly result, you need to follow simple recommendations:

1. Contact only to experts! At home, it is difficult to dilute the dye mixtures in perfect proportion and apply them correctly to the hair.
2. Sign up for painting to the master who made the main highlighting. Each colorist has his own “handwriting”, which it will be difficult for another hairdresser to repeat. If this advice is neglected, the root zone and the colored length can simply stop combining.
3. You can not get out of the regrown roots and apply paint to the previously straightened strands. If you overdo it with a bleaching compound, your hair will become dry, brittle and weak.
4. Color stretching is a prerequisite for perfect highlighting of the root zone. If you distribute the paint incorrectly, the roots will stand out, a noticeable transition will appear.
5. Do not dye freshly washed hair. It is advisable to wait at least a day. Natural fatty film will protect the strands from the harmful effects of paint, without interfering with the hair to absorb pigment.
6. Do not try to save money by buying cheap paint. It can too intensively affect the hair structure, making the locks brittle and dull. It is better to stay on popular quality brands: Palette, Garnier, Estel, etc.
7. It is not recommended to use too strong an oxidizer. It not only damages hair, but also gives yellowness. The best result is obtained with a weak oxidizing agent. It needs to be kept a little longer, but bleached strands are obtained without other shades.

Particular attention should be paid to the selection of colors. This is another reason why you should apply to the same master for re-staining. He remembers what kind of paint he used for the first time, so he can make the roots indistinguishable in shade from the rest of the length.

Care after dyeing

In order to not spoil the hair and look great until the next painting, you need to follow simple recommendations:

1. For washing your hair you should use special shampoo for melirovanny hair. They will help to preserve the color for a long time and prevent the appearance of yellowness.
2. Be sure to use a balm, preferably from the same series as the shampoo. After washing the hair, it is important to close the scales that protect the "stuffing" of the hair from the negative effects of the environment. You can add care oils, masks and air conditioners.
3. If yellowness appeared, you can remove it with the help of special tonics. They are sold in professional stores for hairdressers. Neutralize yellow shades of tonic or fine shampoos of silver or purple color.
4. High-quality comb - the key to healthy hair. It is recommended to choose wooden combs with a large distance between the teeth, a comb with a natural bristle or thin plastic teeth (like Tangle Teezer). You need to comb only dry hair.
5. Yellowness causes excess sunlight or chlorinated water. In the street in the summer it is worth wearing a hat, and in the pool do not forget about the cap.
6. Do not repeat the procedure too often. Radical highlighting is done when the roots grow by 4-5 centimeters, earlier staining can harm.

Highlighting the root zone is a great way to update your hairstyle by spending a minimum of time and effort. With proper staining, it seems that the girl only made a fresh highlight on the entire length. It is difficult to achieve an ideal result on your own, the most frequent problem is a noticeable transition between shades. If the roots have grown and are striking, maybe it's time to call your colorist?

What is this highlighting?

Radical highlighting is the procedure for dyeing the regrown root zone, which allows you to adjust the shade without much damage. What is the basal highlighting different from the traditional?

• Lightening composition is applied only to the roots - the rest of the hair is out of work. If this is neglected and painted over the entire length, the strands will suffer greatly (especially at the ends). Of course, at first it will not be so noticeable, but with each subsequent lightening the condition of the hair will only worsen,
• The procedure takes much less time than traditional staining,
• It can be safely done without complex fixtures,
• Correction allows you to maintain the clarity of the picture and not disturb the order of dark and blond hair. The fact is that it is almost impossible to re-dye over the entire length and at the same time not touch the unpainted strands. The result of this painting will be a monochrome color.

Having decided to perform the correction procedure at home, carefully read this detailed instruction.

• Brightener
• Tinting agent
• Hairbrush,
• Brush
• Mixing tank,
• Towel,
• Shampoo,
• Balm,
• Clamps
• The foil, cut into strips.

Further technique of basal highlighting looks like this:

1. Brush well.
2. Divide the hair into 3 equal zones - middle and side (right and left). Each such zone can be stabbed with a clip.
3. Determine the order of the set (“step” of highlighting) and the width of the colored loops.
4. Prepare a clarifier. You can use as a bleaching powder, and dye "special blond". The first is used to lighten very dark hair. In this case, the powder is mixed with an oxidizing agent in a ratio of 1: 1.5, 1: 1 or 1: 2, depending on the manufacturer. The consistency of the tool should resemble thick sour cream and be well applied (do not flow out of the foil!). Also remember that the powder swells and increases in size during operation. So that the tool does not leak out and does not leave stains on the remaining hair, it should be applied with an indent of 0.5 cm from the edge of the piece of foil. Unfortunately, the "special blond" does not give the whiteness that is obtained with the help of powder, but it also causes much less damage to the hair structure. This is the best option for blondes and brown-haired women. To prepare such a composition, the paint is mixed with an oxidizing agent in a ratio of 1: 2 or 1: 1.5. The consistency is thinner, because a centimeter recedes from the edge of the foil.
5. Remove the first clamp and place 1 piece of foil under the strand.
6. Apply the clarifier with a special brush. Need to start from the neck.
7. Wrap the strand in foil by making a small envelope.
8. Repeat the procedure with the remaining zones.
9. Incubate this remedy for 15 to 40 minutes. From time to time open the foil to assess the result of clarification.
10. Remove the foil from the hair.
11. Wash strands with shampoo.
12. When performing the procedure on dyed hair do not forget to make toning.
13. Take advantage of the balm.

Popular bugs

When performing highlighting on regrown roots, try to avoid common mistakes, because they can spoil the expected effect.

Error number 1. Appeal to another master. It is necessary to make correction of the root zone at the same hairdresser as all the highlights, because each of them has his own unique “handwriting”. As a rule, a good specialist needs only one look at his own work to determine the choice of the desired method of dyeing.

Error number 2. Increased staining area. Do not paint the already straightened strands and observe the border. Otherwise, the hair, burned by the clarifier, will just start to fall out.

Error number 3. Lack of stretch between the basal highlighting and previously painted strands. Well having stretched paint, the master will make border almost imperceptible. To smooth the transition, you can apply a gentle tinting composition.

Error number 4. Conducting highlights on cleanly washed hair. Before staining regrown roots, you should not wash your head for at least 2 days. For this short term, the strands will be covered with a film of natural fat, which will protect the hair during painting.

Error number 5. The use of cheap and low-quality paint. If you are looking for a beautiful result, stop at a good professional cosmetics.

Error number 6. Too strong oxidant. Using a weaker oxidizer and increasing the time of its exposure, you can get a bright tone without yellowing.

Error number 7. Wrong color selection. Making corrections highlighting on the roots, it is important to choose a shade that suits you. Blondes are honey, beige and caramel - they will refresh your face and make you younger. Platinum and pearl look great on light blond hair. Golden-red locks will help to emphasize the beauty of medium-blond hair. As for brunettes, they can focus on coffee, chocolate and chestnut shades.

Carrying out the procedure in salons

The procedure for root bleaching is quite complicated. And its main difficulty is not even in the technique of applying paint, but in that it is necessary select carefully shades. Selecting the original color and toning the roots in the same way as it was done during initial highlighting is not an easy task. That is why it is better to entrust this job to a specialist who first highlighted you: his professional eye will be better able to find the right shade.

Editorial Board

If you want to improve the condition of your hair, special attention should be paid to shampoos that you use.

A frightening figure - in 97% of shampoos of famous brands are substances that poison our body. The main components, due to which all the troubles on the labels are designated as sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium laureth sulfate, coco sulfate. These chemicals destroy the structure of the hair, the hair becomes brittle, lose elasticity and strength, the color fades.But the worst thing is that this stuff gets into the liver, heart, lungs, accumulates in the organs and can cause cancer.

We advise you to abandon the use of funds in which these substances are located. Recently, experts of our editorial staff conducted an analysis of sulfate-free shampoos, where the first place was taken by funds from the company Mulsan Cosmetic. The only manufacturer of all-natural cosmetics. All products are manufactured under strict quality control and certification systems.

We recommend to visit the official online store mulsan.ru. If you doubt the naturalness of your cosmetics, check the expiration date, it should not exceed one year of storage.

When to do?

Highlighting in bright colors requires regular updates to maintain a stylish look. How to understand that it is time to perform root staining:

• regrown roots become noticeable and too “striking”,
• the strands lost their original bright shade, became yellow and dull,
• hairstyle looks messy even with fashionable styling,
• there is a desire to create a contrast between the strands of different colors by coloring the root zone.

Painting the roots required for owners of hair of any shade. Coloring will make the main color more vivid, while curls will look as well-groomed as possible.

Differences between natural, bleached and bleached blond when basal dyeing hair

Natural blondes to achieve spectacular highlighting is not difficult. Light curls respond well to coloring as the entire volume of hair, and individual curls. The main thing in this case is to choose the right dye so that the result of the root dyeing is noticeable. Highlighting light-haired can be done sparing drugs - they allow you to create a glare effect, smooth transitions and a shallow surface tint.

The owners of bleached hair have natural color only two or three steps darker than the final result. They are encouraged to use a dye called “special blond”. It helps to lighten the strands in several tones and to achieve complete “merging” with already painted zones. The tool is suitable for highlighting brown-haired and brown-haired women.

After a radiant bright highlighting on dark hair, hairdressers advise toning to eliminate yellowness.

Bleached hair is the most difficult case for blond dyeing. In order to achieve the lightest shade of highlighting, the masters use powders for bleaching, completely neutralizing the natural dark tint. A large amount of oxidizing agent is added to the composition of the product for highlighting bleached hair.

Is it possible to perform at home by yourself?

Highlighting the roots is more difficult than highlighting the entire hairstyle. During the dyeing of the roots, it is necessary to achieve such an effect that the difference between the root part and the rest of the hair would be imperceptible. To do this, use the same color, the same thickness and frequency of staining strands that were used in the previous highlighting. In addition, during dyeing, it is impossible to treat those areas that have already been gilded last time.

What is dangerous home basal highlighting:

• painted curls will look careless
• the transition between staining sessions will be noticeable
• the color will be monochrome, without a clear separation of the strands,
• it will not be possible to create a beautiful gradient and avoid the “double” treatment of curls.

1. You can not use a hat or foil.
2. The tool is applied to the roots themselves, but you can also take foil.
3. The procedure is faster, and with the usual procedure time is spent on the separation of the order, prokrasku length.

Why it is necessary to perform the basal, and not the secondary full?

If you do not make a correction, but to highlight curls again for the entire length, the opposite effect is expected:

• If before the procedure your strands have already been dyed, then after the basal highlighting, you must go through the process of toning hair.
• A good master always makes a “tie” between the previously painted strands and the new basal highlighting. This allows you to make a smooth, imperceptible transition.

What is needed

To make the highlight of the roots of the house, you need the following tools:

• foil or cap (solid foil should be cut into strips 10 cm wide. The length should be 2 times more than the colored strands),
• gloves,
• dishes for bleaching composition (plastic or glass),
• paint brush
• old towel or cloth.

1. Bleaching powder (used only when you need to strongly discolor the strands, it is recommended for hair from 7 levels of tone and below).
   • The powder is mixed with oxidant 1: 1.5 (classical proportion), 1: 1 or 1: 2, depending on the manufacturer. The consistency should be like sour cream, so that the mixture is well applied, but not very liquid, to flow from the foil. The standard percentage of oxidizer under the foil - 6%.
   • It should be borne in mind that the powder swells and increases in size. Therefore, so that the mixture does not flow out of the foil and does not stain the roots, you need to retreat from the edge of the foil 0.5 cm.
   • Exposure time 30-50 minutes depending on the thickness and quality of the hair.
2. The group of dyes "spetsblond" (applied to previously undyed strands, not suitable for too dark hair, it is recommended from 7 level of tone and above). Typically, the first digit in the title is 12 or 11. For example, 12.60. Special Blond will not give pure white strands as after powder, but hair quality will be better.
   • It dismounts 9 and 12% of oxidizer in a 1: 2 ratio (classical), in some brands 1: 1.5.
   • The paint is thinner in consistency, so 1 cm should be pulled back from the edge of the foil.
   • The exposure time is 30-50 minutes.
3. Dye (used to tint previously stained strands) - it tones bleached and your natural shade of hair. Makes the transition between the strands less invisible, neutralizes reddish or yellow hue after highlighting, or gives the direction of color, for example, ashen or peach.
   • Usually, when highlighting the root zone, the hair in it is well lightened to level 9-10, therefore, when toning, it is necessary to take the dye of these tone levels. The better the strands are brightened, the higher the first number of the dye. For example, 10.69.
   • For toning highlighting, it is recommended to take ammonia-free dyes and the smallest oxide 1.5 - 1.9% (depending on the brand).
   • The proportion is 1: 2.
   • Exposure time 5-20 minutes depending on the desired tone. Sometimes cold shades can go too gray, so time needs to be reduced.

Ways at home

There are two ways of basal highlighting at home: with a cap and with foil. The first method facilitates your work and is suitable for coloring strands no longer than 15 cm. To perform the procedure, you will need a special cap with holes. You can buy it in stores with hairdressing accessories.

Technique of basal highlighting on the cap:

1. Put on the cap and pull the colored strands through the holes, using a comb. This process is considered to be the most difficult, since it is necessary to draw strands of the same thickness.
2. Dilute the powder with an oxidizing agent according to the instructions and apply it with a brush to the elongated strands.
3. Leave the makeup on the hair. To lighten the strands on 1 tone should keep the composition no more than 15 minutes. For deep clarification - 30 minutes.
4. After bleaching, you can toned strands for a soft color transition.

The method of highlighting with foil is ideal for long hair. The stages of clarification using foil at home are no different from the technology of staining by a specialist. But making the highlighting of the basal zone through the foil alone is very difficult.

Highlighting, as well as any painting of the strands, is not recommended to do in the presence of wounds, abrasions, scratches on the head.

When is it time to freshen color?

Recognize the need to carry out the procedure of highlighting the roots will help you true friend - a mirror. That it will tell you when it's time to do painting. In the technique of basal highlighting, as well as in standard staining of this type, foil is traditionally used.

But only the roots of the curls are affected, and their tips remain intact. In the same way as with the usual procedure, the hair folds into flagella and is fixed with hairpins. Coloring occurs in blocks, according to pre-divided zones. The darning can also be made with the sharp side of a paintbrush, or a long-leg comb.

Naturally, you will not be able to perform such highlighting yourself. This requires third-party assistance, and it is very desirable that the person who will conduct your painting be at least minimally familiar with the method itself. But this is not recommended due to the complexity of the procedure.

In addition, some women need subsequent toning, especially if the native pigment is reddish or dirty yellow. A man in the street, without a minimum experience in color painting, is unlikely to be able to cope with such a task.

Thanks to the radical highlighting of hair, you can achieve the effect every month as if you just left the beauty salon with fresh coloring throughout the length. In this case, your hair will not suffer from the aggressive chemical effects of oxidizing agents and powder. And after all it is in blondes that splitting, weak and thin hair tips can be noticed, which practically can not be cured.

If we talk about pure blonde, then over time, its owner is also better to start making frequent basal highlighting. It will create the effect of an even, but the most natural light shade, while the length of the hair, again, will be untouched. However, this is a private matter of every woman. Some prefer an exceptionally smooth shade from root to tip.

How to make high-quality basal highlighting?

• Contact your hairdresser. It is desirable that the master had an extensive experience in color painting, and could pick the perfect shade. In addition, his work must be very neat: one “awkward movement” - and highlighting is hopelessly flawed,
• Choose only good dyes. Cheap household paint will provide you not only an unexpected result, but also greatly spoil the curls. Do not fear only the tips of the hair.Despite the fact that they are indeed more sensitive and vulnerable to chemical compositions, low-quality paint can "block the oxygen" and the roots, which will turn out to be even worse for you. Thinning follicles and bulbs will cause diffuse alopecia (hair loss), which is not so easy to cure,
• Agree to the service of basal highlighting at home, only if you completely trust the chosen stylist. A friend, mother or sister can hardly cope with such a challenge without having either the skills or any experience
• Do the staining procedure every 1.5-2 months,
• Be sure to use quality care products. Among blondes, shampoos and conditioners with a yellowing neutralizer, as well as masks, elixirs and fluids, restoring damaged hair along the entire length are very popular.

Some women complain that after basal highlighting, their tips still differ in shade with “fresh” roots. Well, this effect is absolutely natural and expedient, especially if the staining is made by different masters and different colors.

But even in this case, the difference is not as significant as when the natural color grows. In addition, this can be avoided if you choose one, permanent dye, and trust your hair only to one master.

We act according to the generally accepted technology

To perform a beautiful highlighting at the roots, the hairdresser needs to be equipped with a special brush-brush for painting, powdery pigment and foil.

How to do basal highlighting?

• First you need to decide on the paint. Choose the optimal color and shade, mix it in the right proportions with the oxidizer (the percentage ratio is selected taking into account the "native" color, as well as the desired intensity of clarification),
• If the paint is picked up by a qualified specialist, he can add a mikston (proofreader) to it, after which the resulting shade will come out unusually beautiful and unique.
• Cookware for mixing paint should be strictly plastic, and in any case not metallic,
• Next is selected foil length. It should also correspond to the current length of the customer's strands. If the hair has a length of 20 cm, then the foil (with a margin) should be 10 cm in length. The tips of the strands remain outside and do not wrap,
• Head zoning is an indispensable stage of any technique of highlighting, coloring and bronzing. Usually barbers divide the head into three zones: the middle, the right side and the left side,
• To stain the roots traditionally begins from the bottom up through the pre-marked zones,
• The temporal (lateral) parts are painted last, and also from the bottom up,
• Some craftsmen prefer to moisten the root area for easier separation and collection of strands,
• The curls are stained using the following technique: a foil is placed under the strand, the hair itself is pre-separated by the darning technique. The separated curls are smeared with the dye composition and rolled up by the second side of the foil,
• Strands wrapped in foil are additionally fixed with hairpins,
• The composition is aged up to 50 minutes, but no more
• The paint is washed off with warm water and yellowish neutralizing shampoo.

So that the previously colored hair does not contrasted too much with the refreshed roots, barbers make the so-called “color tie”.

When to make frequent highlighting? If you are a bright blonde, tint the roots every 1-1.5 months. If your previous shade came closer to natural light brown with “faded” accents, you can afford a longer “break” between dyes. The main thing is that the regrown hair should not be too different from the length.

Technique of basal highlighting for blondes is a method that allows you to constantly stay updated, fresh and well-groomed, without the need to spoil the hair along the entire length. If you have already decided on such a change in appearance - contact a professional. Be beautiful!

Highlighting is magical, having dozens of varieties. Since not all of the hair is affected, it is considered a bit more careful than a complete change of color. But he also has one big minus - regrown roots, which spoil the overall look in a few months. If with simple coloring everything is simple and after it is enough just to paint over them, then everything is much more complicated. You need a radical highlighting. What is it, how safe is it and how is it done? Here you will find answers to questions with photos, as well as a video about the procedure.

The best way to camouflage regrown roots

Radical highlighting is a method of masking regrown areas, in which an imitation of the beginning of whitened strands is created on them. The technique is quite time-consuming, but allows you to avoid re-dyeing and damage to previously brightened hair. This service is rendered by any master who does highlighting. In the photo is an example of the result of such a correction.

The girl in the photo has already appeared a clear boundary of the transition of regrown roots and colored strands. Over time, it becomes lower and creates the effect of dirty, neglected hair. In the photo of the result, the border is neatly painted over, and in the style of primary highlighting, it practically does not differ from the location of the main strands.

The advantages of such a correction:

1. Allows you to shift the time of re-staining, while taking much less time.
2. Cheaper than the full procedure of highlighting, usually 2 times. But it all depends on the salon and its pricing policy.
3. Does not subject strands to repeated chemical staining, which has a positive effect on their condition.

Technique actually becomes a real salvation, but only if it performs a good master. This highlighting can be done to girls as with their original hair color, and made highlighting on the already painted strands.

How often to do

Radical highlighting can be done with a shift of the growth line by 2.5 cm or more. Less simply does not make sense. Given the average growth rate of hair, the procedure can be done in 2-4 months. But you should not constantly resort to it because of savings. After a couple of times, shifts in the strand pattern will already be noticeable, and full highlighting will be required.

The time between treatments is also greatly influenced by the color of the hair and the technique that was used for highlighting. Dark hair needs a correction much earlier than light and blond. And California and glare highlights look great without any edits for 4-5 months. Radical technique is mainly intended for the correction of the classic look, made by small and medium strands.

Common mistakes

1. Master change. Correction should be done with the same master as highlighting. He is already familiar with your hair, the shades used, the thick strands. Also, each master has his own peculiarities of the technique and style of coloring, not everyone will be able to correct someone else's work qualitatively.
2. Zastupup on the painted zone. Some hairdressers, to make work less laborious, go far beyond the border of the transition. There is nothing wrong with that, but only if the hair is healthy. Otherwise, after such a procedure, they can begin to break off exactly at the site of the layering of the compositions.
3. Despite the fact that the basal technique refers to the careful correction, then you need to pay great attention to the restoring procedures.Nutritious masks and oils will help with this, will make the hair structure denser and stronger.
4. A good master pays attention to what hair was highlighting. If before that there was clarification, then for the root zone you need to do toning. Otherwise, you can not get into the shade.
5. It is not recommended to do basal staining on its own, especially on itself, even if there are detailed photo and video lessons. The transition line must be carefully designed to reduce the risk of damage and breaking the curls.

Why is it better to trust master

Today, there are many video and photo lessons on coloring correction, they help to understand the essence of the procedure, its features and technique. But no video or photo can correctly select the coloring composition and gently apply it to the hair. The mistake of most women is that they experiment with their appearance without thinking about the consequences.

After an unsuccessful correction, only going to the salon will save the situation. At home, only a complete color change will help. For time masking, you can use tint balm. But all these procedures at best will bring nothing good to hair, at worst damage them even more. Making corrections at home is only possible for people who have experience in highlighting. It is also important to know the brand of composition, its color and concentration, which were used originally.

Correction technology

If you decide to do the correction yourself, then you should study the information on the topic in advance and prepare everything you need. Dyeing is performed with foil. You can take a special, designed for salons, or make blanks from ordinary food foil.

What you need to work:

It is better to perform the procedure on washed, but dry hair. First you need to cut the pieces of foil that will wrap the areas treated with paint. Their size depends on the regrown band. Next, the coloring composition is diluted according to the instructions and you can proceed to the procedure.

1. The hair is thoroughly combed and the first strand is extracted with the help of a comb. This should be done selectively, as with the classical technique.
2. Under the strand enclosed a piece of foil.
3. A brush is applied coloring composition on the regrown area. It is necessary to try as little as possible to go beyond the transition line. At the same time untreated regrown areas also should not be.
4. The foil neatly folds to the center and covers the painted area.
5. Similarly processed the following strands.
6. The paint is aged on the hair at the right time, then washed off.
7. A regenerating balm or mask is applied, aged and washed off again.

Much more difficult is the correction of highlights made in several shades. It can be done by alternating the staining of strands with different color compositions. It is very difficult to choose the location of the strands, so to achieve a good result is not always possible.

If, however, the correction is not done very well, and the transition lines remain visible, then dubbing agents will come to the rescue. They are in the form of shampoos or balms, do not contain an oxidizing agent and create a light shade on the hair. Also dubbing agents can be used to remove yellowness from bleached strands or to give color depth.

Disguise regrown roots will allow basal highlighting. Its only difference from the usual one is that the coloring matter is applied exclusively to the regrown areas in the area of ​​the roots, and the rest of the hair remains intact. Such staining can be done both in a professional salon, and independently at home.

• 2. What to look for
• 3. Care after dyeing

Sequence of execution

Radical highlighting is an excellent alternative to the discoloration of regrown roots. It not only allows you to keep your hair healthy, but also to make your image brighter and more attractive.

The execution process is as follows:

• as well as in the classic version, thin flagella are made of strands of a certain thickness, which are then fixed with special clips or ordinary hairpins,
• individually, each flagellum is dyed with a paint of the desired shade,
• the painted part is carefully wrapped in foil,
• maintain in this state for 15-40 minutes,
• after the specified period, the foil is removed, and the hair is thoroughly washed and dried without using a hair dryer.

Despite the fact that a detailed examination can detect the border between just and long-colored areas of hair, it is not so much striking as the difference in color with regrown roots. In addition, basal highlighting allows you to visually give your image well-groomed and tidy.

What to look for

Radical highlighting is recommended no more than once every 3 months. This indicator may be less, since it directly depends on the growth rate of your strands. Please note that with more frequent staining can significantly weaken the roots, which will further hair loss.

Since this procedure is quite a complicated and responsible event, it should be carried out independently only if you already have experience and knowledge in this field. In the absence of the necessary skills, it is best to turn to an experienced master with this task.

It is not recommended to wash your hair before the staining procedure. This is due to the fact that the secreted sebum will act as a natural defense for the roots from the negative effects of the coloring matter on them. Shampooing allows you to get rid of excess sebum, thereby leaving the roots unprotected. Therefore, the washing process should be carried out no later than 2 days prior to highlighting.

To make the painting process at home as easy and fast as possible, pay attention to the following stylist advice:

• Before the procedure, slightly moisten regrown hair roots, which will make it easier to paint on them.
• Prepare the foil, which is an indispensable attribute of the process of dyeing individual strands. Both the special hairdressing salon, and usual household equally well will approach.
• Decide which strands of curls will be dyed: thick or thin. Depending on this, determine the frequency of the set of strands and select the desired shade of paint, the correct frequency of location will allow you to achieve the perfect result.
• To separate the hair, use a thin comb with a handle. Twist each strand into a bundle and fix it with a barrette or a special clip.
• Begin coloring in the nape area.
• For high-quality painting may need a stripper for highlighting. It is very functional and easy to use. Stripper allows you to simulate beautiful contours and create smooth transitions on dyed hair.

When making, keep a strip of foil always in a horizontal position. Release a section of colored strand from under it, and then alternately wrap either the left or the right edge of the strip.

Features of highlighting the hair roots

Partial coloring in question has a number of features that are distinctive from other types of painting. Here they are:

• The paint is applied only to the hair roots.

Highlighting on the grown roots is the most gentle, since the area of ​​application of chemicals is minimal.

• California or gradient highlighting for a long time does not need tinting - about six months.
• Highlighting on the regrown roots, as well as usual, begins from the back of the head.
• If your highlighting is done by a master at a barbershop, the right decision is to go there again.After all, the technique for performing root highlighting should remain the same as with full highlighting. In addition, a hairdresser who knows the characteristics of your hair, just navigate through the necessary measures to correct the color of the roots.
• The complexity of the considered type of painting: it is impossible to go beyond the boundary between different colors when applying the solution, otherwise there will be a chemical burn of curls, their damage or loss.
• Despite the ease of harmful effects during the procedure of highlighting the hair roots, be sure to regularly feed the curls. This can be done with the help of special cosmetics (balms, masks, special purpose shampoos).
• Highlighting the hair roots makes the overall appearance of the hairstyle fresh. It also helps in the transition to a different color of hair.

Radical highlighting makes the hair look visually freshly colored, and time and resources are required significantly less.

• In the practice of hairdressing, it is customary to distinguish hair color by the level of the depth of tone (UGT is abbreviated), where UGT 1 indicates the darkest color — black, deuce is brunet, triple is dark brown, four is simply brown, five is light brown , seven - blond, eight - blond blond, nine - very blond blond, a dozen denotes the lightest hair tone. Note that a weak brightener will “lift” the hair color by 1-2 tones, and this applies only to non-dark shades of the initial material.
• In contrast to the full-color (full) coloring, basal color change is difficult to maintain in a first-class condition, so this task is not always easily accomplished at home.

When, why and what you need to do basal highlighting

Help to answer the question “When is it time to make a correction of regrown roots?” Will help your girlfriend or a mirror. If you see that the hairstyle has ceased to naturally shine, the regrown roots are visible and this is striking and looks untidy and dirty, then an update is required. This procedure is required to:

• Create a contrast between the strands of different colors.
• As far as create a refreshing effect for your image.
• Always shine a unique shade of hair.
• Make adjustments to the style at least every week.
• Change hair color quickly and “with minimal loss” (with reduced hair damage).

Now a little about the compositions, with the help of which they make the procedure of such highlighting:

• Powder for discoloration. Used in cases when you need strong bleaching of hair roots. To prevent yellowness on the burned parts of the curls, toning is performed. The composition of the clarifier is prepared on the basis of the following proportion: one and a half part of the oxidizer per one part of the powder For thick, thick, dark hair, take more oxidant.
• Special Blonde These dyes will need brunettes, brown-haired women with a dark shade of natural hair. Since the substances from this group are used for non-colored hair, they are suitable for basal dyeing. The ingredients are mixed in a ratio of one to two, that is, one part of a nine percent oxidizer (maximum of twelve percent) and two parts of a lightening blond.

• The sparing painting structures. Applicable for simple, shallow staining of the roots - a couple of tones, to create a glare effect, half tones of the transition from unpainted grown roots to the previously painted ones. It interferes with the oxidizing liquid in equal shares - one to one.

Process technology

To tint the roots of your melirovannoy or fully colored hair requires:

• select the desired tone of paint, and it is better to remember which color was used for initial highlighting (the tolerance from the previous color is one or two tones),
• Do not wash your hair immediately before starting the process.
• prepare the foil (buy the cut strips in the store or cut the usual food foil paper used for baking),
• prepare a convenient brush, spicule, gloves, paint solution,
• determine how to select the strands for highlighting, how far apart they are - painting step (if there was no highlighting before, choose narrow strands with wide highlighting step),
• divide all the hair into 5-7 large parts in order to fasten each one alternately with hairpins and choose strands previously strewn, stab the strands twisted with a flagellum so that they do not interfere,

• to separate, starting from the back of the head, the part of the hair whose roots need tinting,
• take a strip of foil, holding it horizontally,
• prepare the first curl for coloring,
• put on the foil a bit of hair and evenly dye them, while trying not to go to the “border of color”,
• light gentle movements, picking up a small amount of the coloring matter, apply the solution to the regrown roots,
• wrap the foil on the sides or put another piece on top and clamp it, only the colored roots should be wrapped,
• do the same procedure all over the head, moving from the back of the head to the forehead and moving at the end to the temporal parts.

Did you know that sebum (sebum), located at the roots of the hair, has a protective function?

After processing all the roots, you need to make sure that each curl is wrapped separately and the paint does not penetrate the adjacent hair, the foil should be fixed. For a smooth transition, they use the following technique: they paint over a couple of curls next to the rest, previously painted.

After exposure from fifteen to forty minutes (depending on the desired degree of coloring), carefully rinse the composition from the hair. By the way, you can “peep” as staining goes in the middle of the procedure if you are not sure of the time you need. (vitamin, nutritious, for colored hair) and after waiting for the right time, indicated on the package, wash your head again.

Read about small secrets, they will help you look 100% full, even if you are the first time to grow roots:

• The border between the two colors on the hair for hedging make the so-called tie. To do this, take in the foil and a few hairs from the unpainted area.

• From the scalp to the very end, it is necessary to dye two to three thin, barely noticeable locks that partially cover the unpainted ones. This will mask the uneven blending of the clarifier.
• The lower the percentage of oxidizer, the longer they make the dye (aging) of dye on hair. So get a clarification on a couple of tones. There is a rule for fair ladies, and 2% oxidizer will not take chestnut and darker girls.
• Non-ammonia powders, which are suitable for quick and high-quality clarification of regrown roots, are commercially available.
• A simple calculation of the length of the pieces of foil for tinting (highlighting) the roots: measure the length of the regrown pieces (say, 4-5 cm), multiply by 2 (8-10 cm), add another couple of centimeters (10-12 cm). It turns out the length of the foil for wrapping colored areas in this case is from ten to twelve centimeters. Another option: take two foils of 5-6 cm, but the first method is more convenient.
• To control the painting of just the right hair between them, lay cotton pads or pieces of cotton so as not to stain the adjacent areas.

• The back of the head and the temples are tender, so the highlighting of the roots in these areas is different from the rest of the hair. Be careful when painting the hair in these areas, because there brightener grab faster because of the subtle curls.
• The warmer the roots, the more intense the color will become. Before heating the painted roots, make sure that you have a staining solution that can be heated.Such heating can not be done with a hairdryer and similar devices, only infrared radiation. In beauty salons for this purpose they use klimamons.
• If you choose a long strand, the roots of which you want to polish, the earlier will be burned out.
• To avoid yellowing of the burned-out roots, take an oxidizing agent with a lower percentage: it is better not to paint over it, than to think up later how to remove yellowness. Instead of effective strong clarification, choose a small percentage, as already mentioned above, but keep it longer.
• For dark curls, correction is required more often than fair-haired girls.
• If you did not do the staining and highlighting sessions yourself, but with your favorite master hairdresser, you should not change this “tradition”.

It makes no sense to begin the correction of the color of the hair roots, if less than two and a half centimeters have grown.

• Once any woman of fashion comes a moment when it is no longer possible to carry out the “repair” of unpainted grown roots, as the boundaries of the transitions become obvious and shift. In this case, you need to do a full coloring highlighting again.
• To remove the ridiculous transitions from one color to another, conceal errors, get rid of yellowness after finishing work with the roots, perform a tint. It eliminates the natural and chemical colors and merges into one composition.
• If you are temporarily unable to go to the salon or do the tinting of the roots itself, buy a special lightening spray. The principle of operation is simple: liquid is sprayed onto the curls when pressed (like a lacquer or hair spray with a spray bottle). The advantages of this method are that gentle spraying looks more natural than coarse coloring by a brush. Flick three or four times using the tool every day to get the desired result after five approaches.

Radical highlighting was invented in the 80s of the last century. This method has become an alternative process that is very traumatic for the hair and completely changes its structure. Highlighting the roots - this is also a discoloration, but not the entire mass of hair, but only some strands. To date, basal hair highlighting is quite common and well known. After completing such painting technique, women can become unique, refresh their image and visually increase the shearing volume.

What is root highlighting?

After completing the basal bleaching, you can correct the hairstyle, if there are regrown roots. Hair growth is a continuous process, any hairstyle, over time can lose an attractive appearance, respectively, it must be updated to maintain the style and individual image. Radical highlighting, performed on dark curls, needs to be adjusted every 10-11 weeks.

The technique of basal highlighting involves applying paint only on the regrown part of the roots. It is very important not to apply the emulsion to the already discolored strands, because the porous structure and the newly applied dye can cause the hair to break and fall off.

Basic rules for root highlighting

Before rubbing the regrown roots, experts do not recommend washing the hair: sebum (secretions of the sebaceous glands) will serve as a kind of protective substance that envelops each hair. Before painting, it is better to moisten the roots with water, but they should not be wet, but only slightly moist. This should be done in order to further facilitate the separation of the strands.

Make highlighting is necessary with the help of foil, suitable for this standard foil for baking. Pre-foil should be divided into segments, the width of which is about 10 cm. You can perform highlighting with a cap.

Grown root staining technique

Highlighting of the roots is done using foil-coated paper and differs from the usual one in that in this case the paint will need to be applied only to regrown roots, and not along the whole length of the strands. Also, as well as conducting the usual highlights, all the hair will need to be divided into zones. After you need to alternately twist the flagella and fix them with special clips. Next you need to paint only the roots and wrap them in foil. After holding the ink mixture you need the amount of time, you will need to remove the foil and thoroughly wash your hair.

Such a technique of coloring the roots will undoubtedly appeal to those girls who want to visually “soften” the difference between the “old-painted” and “new-colored” strands. This coloring is suitable for blondes and brunettes. Highlighting the roots will give them a neater and well-groomed appearance. The following photos illustrate this fact:

Many qualified hairdressers and stylists do not recommend making basal highlighting at home, as the technique of this procedure requires certain skills and abilities. Although if you systematically dye your hair or do highlights with your own hands, then maybe you can master the root dyeing. However, before you start highlighting the roots you need to find the right shade of paint that will harmonize with the color of your curls. You can do this by viewing a lot of different photos of shades of colors. You will also need to correctly and carefully apply the coloring composition in such a way that the “new-painted” areas coincide with the “old-painted” ones. Without having enough experience, it will be quite problematic to do this.

Radical highlighting is a completely non-dangerous procedure, thanks to which you will be able to put your head “in order”. This method of dyeing is preferred by those whose highlighting is done on pre-dyed hair.

How to mark grown roots?

1. Seek help from a professional stylist or hairdresser.
2. Paint the roots no more than once every 3-4 months.
3. Give preference to dye mixtures, which include only high-quality components.
4. After the procedure, pay special attention to the care of dyed hair.

Remember that highlighting as any hair coloring procedure adversely affects their health. Therefore, from time to time it is necessary to give them a rest, and after painting it is worth more care for them.

1. Start using quality shampoos that are specifically designed for colored locks.
2. It is also worth paying attention to the choice of balms, sprays and serums for the care of dyed hair. They are sure to be of good quality and contain no components that can damage the structure of your hair.
3. If you do not have the opportunity to purchase quality products, it is best to use homemade masks. Here are a few mask recipes that you can easily make yourself.

• On the basis of cottage cheese: mash 50 grams of cottage cheese, add to it 50 ml of mayonnaise and 30 ml of olive oil. Stir gently and apply on hair for 40 minutes, and then rinse well.
• With orange juice and heavy cream: mix the juice from one orange and add 50 ml of cream, the fat content of which exceeds 10%. Rub the mixture into the hair roots and spread over the entire length.

Painting of regrown roots at home

Professionals do not advise to carry out the procedure at home, because the result may be far from ideal. But if you have some experience in this matter and also want to save money, then you can easily make a basal highlighting yourself or with the help of a friend at home.

The main problem of all those who tried to make highlights themselves - the washing up. Almost every second girl washes her hair before starting the procedure. This is not just a fallacy, but a colossal mistake: during washing, the sebum is washed off from the hair, which protects them from damage and the damaging effects of chemicals.

Remember: Before highlighting - it does not matter in the cabin or at home - you can not wash your hair for at least two days!

Radical highlighting at home will require you to a minimum set of hairdressing "tools":

• ordinary foil
• wide flat brush
• paint the desired tone.

The highlighting technique includes several steps:

1. Highlighting begins with the nape. First, separate the strand from the hair in the back of the head and place a piece of foil 10 cm wide under it.
2. Apply the dye compound to the roots and wrap with the ends of the foil.
3. Do the same with other strands whose roots have grown noticeably.
4. Expectation. You need to wait until the hair roots get the desired color. It usually takes from 15 to 40 minutes and depends on the state of the hair. For example, in blondes, this stage is faster than in brunettes. Readiness highlighting - more precisely, the acquisition of the desired shade - must be controlled. To check from time to time, remove the foil or simply bend the edges of the strip and compare the roots with the rest of the hair. Remember: wet strands (and the composition for highlighting is wet!) Are always slightly darker than dry ones. Consider this nuance when determining color.
5. After the staining comes to an end, the foil should be removed. Roots need to be washed with warm water without shampoos and soap - so you wash off the remnants of the hair from the hair. And only after there is no paint on the head, you can wash your hair with detergent. Do not forget to apply a balm after washing - now it is needed more than ever by the roots of your hair!
6. Remember that any paint has a negative effect on hair - no matter if it is a special composition for highlighting or tinting dye. Therefore, for hair care, be sure to use masks, balsams and special shampoos. These tools will help you maintain the health and beauty of streaked locks.

Blondes and brunettes: what is the difference

Basically, basal highlighting is the same for both groups of women. But there are some differences:

• If you were originally a brunette, then immediately before toning you need discolor the roots hair. Natural blondes are more fortunate - they can immediately begin to color highlighting.
• Another difference in the degree of impact of the coloring composition: blond hair dyed faster than dark. Therefore, the process of highlighting the brunettes takes more time.
• Varies and timethrough which you need to carry out the procedure again. Brunettes should be basal highlighting not less than every 2 months, blondes can stretch the time between procedures up to six months.

What to do with regrowth highlighting? Photos and color options

The highlighting technology has been used in salons for more than thirty years.

As a safer alternative to full dyeing in blonde, bleaching individual strands continues to be popular and does not go out of fashion.

This variant of coloring allows you to visit the master less often, since regrown roots stand out less than other hairs.

How often need to update the painting in order to hairstyle looked neat?

Regrown roots - when does it get ugly?

Any staining that involves pre-clarification, the master does not produce from the roots of the hair, but a little departing from them.

Therefore, it is perfectly normal if the highlighting starts 1-2 cm further than the parting.

However, after a month or two, the newly grown roots begin to strike the eye and spoil the overall look of the hairstyle.

Depending on the natural color, regrown roots can look different. For example, in brown-haired girls, the transition is not as visible as in brunettes.

The fair-haired beauties, who with the help of highlighting, wanted to select several strands, do not worry at all - even 5 cm of regrown roots will be almost imperceptible.

Hairdressers advise to maintain a balance between frequent dyeing and excessively careful attitude to hair. More than three centimeters of regrown roots already look sloppy, so you should follow the hair, to update the color in time and return her well-groomed appearance.

Also, do not run every two or three weeks to the master in order to even the color, because such frequent coloring will ruin the hair.

On average, hair grows at a rate of 1 cm per month, therefore, strands can be discolored every two to three months, to hairstyle does not lose its attractiveness.

Girls whose hair grows faster will have to visit the wizard a little more often, while actively caring for their hair: make nourishing masks, apply protective agents before drying with a hair dryer and use special products for bleached hair.

Coloring

If a girl does not want to do any of the above procedures, coloring can come to her.

Thanks to him, some bleached locks will be painted in and the rest will complement the overall look.

Coloring can be done in two or three shades, different from each other.

How to make a correction at home?

At home you can independently make a basal or full highlighting, observing the sequence of actions:

1. To color the strands, you need to prepare foil strips, a brightening agent and a brush.
2. Strands that will be subjected to clarification, twisted into a bundle and secured with a clip. In the basal highlighting, the strands are not painted completely, but only to the place where they were discolored.
3. Starting from the back of the head, you need to separate the strands, enclose the foil under each strip and apply the composition. Then wrap the treated area in foil and fasten carefully.
4. During dyeing, the foil can be unrolled to control discoloration. Retention time of the hair depends on their structure and the strength of the dye. It is advisable not to keep the composition for more than 45 minutes.

How to grow your hair color?

Coloring on the technology of highlighting has many advantages, but does not always meet the expectations of the girl. Some types of appearance lose from the partial discoloration of the strands. Also, this method of coloring can harm weak hair, with the result that the girl decides to grow a natural color.

One of the options for growing hair after highlighting can be toning in tone that matches the natural color. This procedure must be performed in the cabin, so that the master can clearly pick up the shade of paint and carefully toned the strands.

However, you will have to dye your hair several times, as the streaked strands will appear through time.

Many girls do not want to expose their hair dyeing, so they decide to wait until the highlighting grows.

In order to reduce the growth of the roots, there are several tricks.

One of them is to divide the hair not into a straight, but into a zigzag parting. The second trick is hairstyles based on weaving. Even an ordinary spikelet with growing light strands looks interesting.

In most cases, after several months of growing up, the girl decides on a cardinal short haircut. At the same time, the bleached ends of the hair look stylish, recalling such fashionable dyeing as “shatush” and “ombré”.

Thanks to highlighting, you can achieve a noble shade, volume of hair and freshness of the face. In addition, this type of coloring is suitable for almost all girls.

However, in time, unpainted roots give the head a sloppy look, so you need to regularly visit the master.

At home, you can dye your hair yourself, using professional tools and following the rules. However, in order to get the desired result and not spoil the hair, it is better to contact a proven hairdresser.

When, why and what you need to do basal highlighting

Help to answer the question “When is it time to make a correction of regrown roots?” Will help your girlfriend or a mirror. If you see that the hairstyle has ceased to naturally shine, the regrown roots are visible and this is striking and looks untidy and dirty, then an update is required. This procedure is required to:

• Create a contrast between the strands of different colors.
• As your hair grows, create a refreshing effect on your look.
• Always shine a unique shade of hair.
• Make adjustments to the style at least every week.
• Change hair color quickly and “with minimal loss” (with reduced hair damage).

Now a little about the compositions, with the help of which they make the procedure of such highlighting:

• Powder for discoloration. Used in cases when you need strong bleaching of hair roots. To prevent yellowness on the burned parts of the curls, toning is performed. The composition of the clarifier is prepared on the basis of the following proportion: one and a half part of the oxidizer per one part of the powder For thick, thick, dark hair, take more oxidant.
• Special Blonde These dyes will need brunettes, brown-haired women with a dark shade of natural hair. Since the substances from this group are used for non-colored hair, they are suitable for basal dyeing. The ingredients are mixed in a ratio of one to two, that is, one part of a nine percent oxidizer (maximum of twelve percent) and two parts of a lightening blond.

• The sparing painting structures. Applicable for simple, shallow staining of the roots - a couple of tones, to create a glare effect, half tones of the transition from unpainted grown roots to the previously painted ones. It interferes with the oxidizing liquid in equal shares - one to one.

Home highlighting

The technique of radical highlighting is rather difficult to reproduce at home. That is why, many masters insist on salon staining.

However, the procedure can be repeated independently or using the help of a friend.

However, you must have some experience, basic knowledge of technology and skills in coloristics, allowing you to achieve the perfect shade.

For home basal highlighting, you should choose professional paints. Low cost dyes can give a completely unpredictable result. In addition, cheap paints adversely affect the structure of curls and are able to block the access of air to the hair follicles, causing fragility and loss.

Before you make basal highlighting at regrown roots at home, it is recommended to watch the video of professional masters, which describes in detail the steps of the procedure:

• mix the coloring composition in a plastic container and prepare food foil,
• divide the hair into separate strands, twist each of them into a bundle, fasten with a hairdressing clip,
• starting from the nape, at the lowest level, take a thin curl, put a strip of foil under it,
• apply the ink mixture on the root area, wrap in foil, fix with a clip,
• repeat the manipulation with all strands of the occipital region, moving upwards,
• apply a lightening compound on the sides of the head, first coloring the lowermost curls,
• in the parting zone, scroll a few thin strands. This will make the transition softer, hide the traces of correction and minor errors,
• the composition must be kept on hair for fifteen to thirty minutes. The time depends on the oxidizing agent, the initial color of the shock and its structure,
• remove the foil, wash the curls, apply a balm or a mask after staining.

The frequency of the radical correction depends on the individual growth rate of the hair, the initial color of the stacks and the technique of the initial coloring. Most often, you need to update the classic highlighting. Shatush, brondirovanie, as well as California staining, you need to adjust every three or four months.

In the photo before and after basal melirovaniem on regrown roots visible barely perceptible difference at the transition boundary. This is quite natural especially if the paint of a different manufacturer was chosen for the procedure or the work was carried out by another master. However, the differences can be minimized by choosing a permanent specialist and a brand of coloring matter.

If it is not possible to purchase expensive cosmetics, you can make homemade masks from natural ingredients that contain all the necessary nutrients and moisturizers.

What is basal highlighting?

Any type of staining does not look perfect for a long time. Already literally a month later, regrown roots become noticeable. Conventional dyeing methods require repainting over time in order to “refresh” the color and hide the regrown roots.

With highlighting it is possible, re-carrying out the procedure after a short period will significantly damage the hair, make the tips dry and brittle. Make basal melirovanie on regrown roots, without affecting the length.

It helps to look well-groomed and not to spoil the hair again.

The average hair growth rate is 1.5 cm per month, sometimes less. Having made highlighting or any painting, after 1-1.5 months, regrown roots will be visible. If they are bright, you can do nothing, highlighting will still look beautiful. With dark roots, there is a clear contrast, you need to go to the master.

The technique of radical highlighting is a correction of the previously made:

• Lightening composition is applied only to the root zone, without affecting the rest of the hair,
• An experienced master selects paint so that the contrast between the previously made and new highlights is not noticeable,
• Sometimes the procedure is combined with tinting if highlighting was done on dyed hair.

What is the basal highlighting different from the usual?

1. Cap or foil may not be used, as in the traditional,
2. The composition is applied exclusively on regrown roots, in an open way, but sometimes foil is used,
3. Radical done faster, with the usual long time spent on the separation of strands, staining length.

In the process of coloring, the first variant of highlighting is not touched; they do not interfere at the border by more than 1 cm. The correction should completely repeat the frequency and shade of the highlighted strands, smooth the transition with toning.

Why precisely radical, but not repeated complete?

If we neglect the correction and re-straighten the strands over the entire length, then the opposite result is achieved:

1. Deterioration of hair quality, especially at the ends.After the 2nd lightening, this may not yet be as noticeable, but subsequent ones will ruin the hair,
2. The order of alternation of clarified and natural strands is disturbed, the effect of continuous clarification is present.
3. It is difficult to re-do highlighting on the same strands, the master still hooks on the unstained ones, especially with thin strands. There will be no bright contrast and clarity of the picture.

Highlighting on regrown roots is preferable to regular, re-performed. The final result will be more accurate, there is no risk of burning the hair with an aggressive oxidant.

How to do basal highlighting?

It is ideal to make a correction for the master who made the first highlighting. The “handwriting” is preserved, the master will easily repeat his work, the shade will not differ. If it is not possible to visit the salon for correction, you can risk making it at home. Independently it is better not to make a correction if:

1. No hair coloring experience
2. The previous highlighting is made by thin strands,
3. The hair was dyed, they made highlighting - you can’t do without toning here.

Independently do the correction should be carefully, observing a clear boundary between the previous clarification. If you go far on already streaked hair, there is a risk of burning them. Before the procedure, the head is not recommended to wash. Sebum envelops the hair, serves as protection from the aggressive effects of the coloring composition.
