The effect of burnt hair on light brown hair. Before and after photos, how to do it at home

On light brown hair the burnt hair effect looks very stylish. The “sunny” way of coloring transforms a woman, makes her look younger and completely changes her image. Existing modern methods of dyeing curls allow you to create an imitation of strands of any length that are highlighted by the sun.

What is the effect of burnt hair, who is it suitable for?

The scorching sun changes the color of the hair, lightening it. So the curls naturally get a burnout effect, which causes significant harm to them. Under the influence of ultraviolet rays, the hair follicles dry out and subsequently collapse.

Strands become brittle, porous, unattractive. However, the fashionable effect of burnt-out curls can be obtained using various coloring methods, which are much safer for the hair. After all, a professional master always controls the degree of lightening of the strands.

Who suits

Girls with blond hair are best suited for golden, wheat and milky pearlescent shades. Blondes should be given preference to amber, honey, caramel colors. And also nutty, pearl tones look great on them.

Amber, honey, cognac shades are suitable for brown-haired women and brunettes. However, in order for the owners of black strands to achieve the desired effect, it is necessary to carefully perform the transitions between tones. They should also lighten the curls in advance, otherwise they will not look natural.

Owners of natural red curls can experiment with amber, wheat, golden shades.

The shatush technique and highlighting are most suitable for young beauties with young, radiant skin. Adult women should give preference to bronding or multi-color highlighting, which allows you to create the necessary effects in strict laconic variations, without emphasizing age-specific features of the appearance. Those who want to try to apply a color stretch can choose ombre or balayage.

Features of the lightening technique

The effect of burnt hair on light brown hair is created using a special dyeing technique. Its specificity consists in achieving maximum similarity with curls faded in the sun using various technologies. Each of them has its own characteristics. Ultimately, the strands acquire several dark and light shades at once, which are harmoniously combined with each other.

This method of dyeing hair has no special name. Almost every hairdresser knows what he is talking about if he hears from the client the phrase "the effect of burnt hair". The master achieves the desired result using various performance techniques.

The most popular of them are:

• Bronding... This method is distinguished by a combination of several shades of light and dark colors. It gives hair extra volume and shine.And also revives their natural color, masks the unsuccessful color of the strands.
• Shatush... In a similar technique, a dark shade from the roots gradually turns into a light tone at the ends of the curls. The gradient is made invisible. Foil and paper are not used for paint applications.
• Califonnian highlights... This open method of dyeing hair resembles shatush. However, it differs in the process of painting the strands: the curls are taken narrow, then they are additionally tinted after lightening. This hairstyle looks brighter. The transitions between tones are most noticeable in it.

On dark curls, the last staining option is called Venetian highlighting.

What does the sunburn effect look like?

Sun-burnt curls look different depending on their color. Stylists do not recommend combining warm shades with cold tones, since such combinations do not exist in nature, and the strands will look unnatural. The pigment is selected so that it does not differ from the main dye by more than 2 - 3 tones. Selected several colors creating a soft gradient should be in harmony with each other.

For light brown hair

Brown hair is most suitable for this type of dyeing. Usually they use 2 - 4 variants of light shades to achieve the desired result, for example: beige, pearl, peach tones. And also it can be caramel, wheat, honey colors.

For light blond hair

Girls with light strands will suit golden, amber, milky pearl shades. Curls painted in walnut, linen tones, as well as light blond will look great. And, of course, the same dyes are suitable for them, which are used for simply light brown hair.

For dark blond

The paint that gives the effect of fading to curls looks slightly different on dark blonde hair due to the transitions between shades, because the gradient is less smooth. Cognac, bronze, chocolate colors are most suitable for such strands. They can also use copper, amber, honey-golden tones.

Coloring nuances associated with hair length

When choosing a dyeing technique, hair length is of no small importance. Bronzing, shatush and Californian highlights will not be noticeable on short haircuts. A smooth gradient is impossible with them. Stylists recommend partial coloring of the bob and bob strands, for example: you can highlight the bangs, the ends of the hair, as well as the temporal or crown region of the head. But the burnout effect is ideal for long and medium curly curls. The effect of burnt hair can also be created on light brown hair with a pixie cut by making California highlights in the temporal or frontal zone.

Professional staining techniques

There are various modern coloring techniques that make it possible to simulate sun-burnt curls.

Shatush

Shatush is one of the ways to create natural highlights. This technique was first invented in France. The procedure is performed on curls 2 cm wide. First, the master combs the hair, and then covers it with a lightening agent. As a result, sun glare appears on the curls, which do not have sharp transitions. The roots are left intact. This combination of a dark tone with a light shade is very suitable for women who want to look younger than their age.

This color option has its own characteristics:

• looks good on light brown and black strands;
• gives the haircut femininity;
• makes the hairstyle embossed, voluminous;
• does not require the use of foil, cellophane during execution;
• retains the desired effect for 1-2 months due to the pronounced indentation from the roots, which means that it does not need frequent correction.

Execution technique:

1. First, a horizontal parting is formed on clean curls, dividing the hair into equal halves. The upper part is stabbed with a clamp.
2. Further, several strands with a width of about 1.5-2 cm are selected from the lower hair sheet.They are fixed with clamps, and then combed from the roots to the edges.
3. Then a dye is applied to the combed curls, stepping back from the root zone about 5 - 10 cm. They are painted with hands or with a brush.
4. Then the upper curls are processed in the same way as the lower strands. The coloring composition is kept for about 10 - 40 minutes.
5. Then the curls are tinted after washing off, if the result is too bright and sharp.

California highlights

This dyeing technique is a kind of shatusha without the use of foil or other devices for wrapping strands. From the total mass of hair, thin curls are chosen, no more than 3-4 mm. Some of them are lightened, the rest are additionally tinted to get a play of light.

The result is a relief design, which is considered the main feature of this method of hair dyeing. The hair looks natural, its color looks more lively, and the hair becomes more voluminous.

Venetian highlighting is preferable to do in the salon to get the perfect result, but you can try to dye your hair yourself at home.

Hair is divided into several parts and tied in tails, if lightening is done with ombre. Elastic bands are placed in places of contrasting transitions. The edges are painted with the chosen agent. When toning, use foil to shade the root zone and not stain the rest of the strands. A new piece is placed under each curl from the roots.

Ombre

11. Further, the lower part of the hair is dyed in the same way.
12. Then the strands of the upper zone are separated by a straight parting.
13. Then the curl at the temple is painted using the same technology.
14. Next, the entire upper part of the hair is treated in the same way.

Coloring

The effect of burnt hair on light brown hair is done using the coloring technique. The shades are selected one tone lighter than the natural color of the strands in order to get the appearance of curls faded under the sun.

There are several techniques for such painting, for example:

• ombre;
• balayazh;
• highlighting the ends and other types of hair coloring.

This painting method is a more complicated highlighting option. When coloring, at least 2 dyes are selected, but more often 3-6 shades are used. A combination of tones from one color palette gives soft, smooth transitions. The use of contrasting colors creates vibrant images.

Coloring is considered a difficult procedure, but it is quite possible to cope with it on its own at home. On light brown hair, it is easiest to carry out such a coloring, because they do not require additional clarification. Curls can not be washed within 48 hours before dyeing.

Before you start coloring, you need to decide on the style and color palette of the hairstyle.

And also prepare the relevant materials:

• paints of several shades;
• hairpins;
• glass or plastic container (for mixing coloring compositions);
• brush;
• hairbrush;
• chopped foil.

Step-by-step instruction:

1. At first, the strands are combed well, and then they are divided into parietal, occipital and temporal regions.
2. Further work begins from the back of the head, then goes to the crown area and ends with sections on the temples.
3. First, several strands are distinguished in the occipital region. The beams are fixed with hairpins at the bases.
4. Then they take the first curl, put foil under it, apply paint to the hair, having previously chosen one of the coloring techniques.
5. Then the colored strand is carefully wrapped in a foil sheet and fixed with a clip at the roots.
6. Next, the rest of the curls are processed, gradually moving from one to another zone.
7. Then the applied composition is kept for at least 30 minutes. Usually they are guided by the time indicated in the instructions.
8. Then the paint is washed off using shampoo.

The above hair coloring scheme using the coloring technique is considered universal.

Bronding

This type of lightening curls gives them a rich, expressive and at the same time natural shade. Bronzing is a rather time-consuming procedure; when it is performed, from 3 to 7 pigments are used that differ from the original hair color.

Shining overflows create an imitation of sun glare on the curls. The transitions are natural, the shades are soft.

Dyed strands usually have the following tones:

• chocolate;
• caramel;
• golden;
• copper;
• ashy.

The booking technique has its own characteristics:

• ideal for brunettes, brown-haired women;
• blondes need to dye the strands in a darker color before the procedure;
• the natural effect is obtained by applying dye along the entire length of the hair.

When making a reservation, the following procedure is followed:

1. First, the curls are painted in the main color. Light brown and light brown are usually chosen for blondes. Brunettes pre-lighten the strands, and then tint them.
2. Further, after dyeing the hair, individual strands are selected, which are lightened using the highlighting technique, retreating from the roots 3 cm.
3. Then the lightened curls are tinted in lighter shades compared to the main hair color. In this case, the pigments should have differences in the length of the strand. The transitions are smooth, for example, from nutty to golden, and then wheat tones follow.
4. It is preferable to choose no more than 3 light shades. The ends of the curls are made in the most pale colors.

Stages of work:

1. To begin with, the hair is combed.
2. Then they are divided by an even parting into the upper and lower zones.
3. Then, from the mass of hair located at the top, narrow strands are formed. They are divided into 2 parts. Each curl is secured with a clip.
4. Then one strand is laid on a piece of foil. It is painted by stretching the piment with a brush, but the required distance from the root area must first be removed.
5. Then, having reached the end of the curl, the foil is folded, bending its edges.
6. Further, the strands of the upper part of the head are alternately processed, alternating dark shades with light tones. The ends are dyed more intensely than the curls along their entire length.
7. At the end of the dyeing process, the dye is kept on the strands for the allotted time. Usually it is indicated by the manufacturer in the instructions.
8. Then the coloring composition is washed off using shampoo, and then a balm.

Blonding

Blonding is called full or partial lightening of the strands, then they are given the desired shade. This procedure is not particularly difficult. A bleaching composition is applied to the curls, and then the removal of natural pigment is controlled.

This process is quite long, it takes at least 1.5 hours of time. Lightening should be done on unwashed hair. First, the curls are smeared with a mixture consisting of a blond agent diluted with an oxidizing agent. Then they are wrapped in foil. The duration of the procedure is 15-45 minutes. It depends on the end result you want to get.

The main types of blonding are considered classic and radical. It is also subdivided into different styles:

• Californian;
• platyphysis;
• Scandinavian point;
• "zigzag";
• Strainer;
• "lace";
• the effect of regrown roots;
• frequent highlighting.

Blonding is most convenient to do on light brown hair, since they themselves have a light pigment. The classic way is suitable for them. The curls are given a burnout effect simply by lightening them by 2-3 tones. In professional salons, this procedure is very expensive. It can be done at home if you do not use a radical method.

Step-by-step instructions for lightening hair:

1. In a container, a dye is diluted with an oxidizing agent, focusing on the instructions.
2. Next, gloves are put on the hands, and the shoulders are covered with a cape.
3. Then the areas of the skin near the hair are smeared with a fat cream.
4. Then 2/3 of the coloring composition is applied to the curls, moving from the occipital region to the crown zone. The root area within 2-3 cm is left unpainted.
5. Then the rest of the product is applied to the roots after 15-30 minutes. It depends on the darkness of the strands.
6. Then the dye is kept on the hair for another 10-20 minutes, and then it is washed off with warm water.
