Highlighting black hair

Each girl seeks to emphasize their beauty and individuality with hair color. Owners of the crow shades of the raven wing over time, want diversity. That is why many girls make highlights on black hair. Fortunately, this procedure today can be performed independently. It all depends on the desired result.

We study fashion trends

Highlighting is a procedure during which individual strands are lightened or stained with a contrasting color. For the first time about it talked Italian charmer, who wanted to emphasize their femininity and Venetian beauty. Long before the invention of the coloring matter, they spent a lot of time under the scorching exhausting sun, thereby achieving even the slightest clarification of their curls.

Today, everything is much simpler, and you can make white highlights on black hair in the salon or at home. I wanted to draw attention to the fact that if you do not have certain skills in hair coloring, it is better not to experiment and do such a procedure in the salon. Otherwise, you risk badly spoiling your hair, make it brittle and lifeless.

Modern fashion dictates its conditions to us, and many women follow it unquestioningly. We are delighted to look at Hollywood beauties who show off their original and exquisite hairstyle at the next film festival. And why shouldn't we radically change our image? In addition, this does not necessarily go on the red carpet.

According to stylists, the most popular and fashionable types of highlighting are the following options:

• classic

• blonding;

• coloring;

• balayazh;

• Highlighting in the California style.

Let's talk about the advantages and disadvantages

Like any type of staining, highlighting has its own advantages and disadvantages. Of course, there are more positives than negative ones. Representatives of the beautiful half of the population of the planet choose highlighting for the following reasons:

• gray locks are painted over as much as possible;
• harmonious selection of colors helps to hide defects in appearance;
• only part of the curls is exposed to the negative effect of the coloring matter;
• the need to systematically tint curls absent;
• visually increases the amount of hair;
• appearance is natural due to the smooth transition of shades.

As for the shortcomings, according to the girls, highlighting has the following disadvantages:

• it can not be done on the newly painted curls;
• between procedures need to endure at least one month;
• black hair is difficult to lighten and with frequent dyeing lose their elasticity and shine;
• the duration of staining takes from 3 to 4 hours;
• To obtain the desired result, you need to contact a professional stylist, and the cost of highlighting can not be attributed to the budget price segment.

Despite this, reviews say that highlighting on black hair looks very impressive. A woman emphasizes her individuality, courage and desire for change. In many reviews, girls say that highlighting on pitch hair makes it look visually younger. After thirty years, the black color of the curls begins to age its owner, emphasizing even the smallest wrinkles on the face. White or other color strands conceal these flaws.
