The hair of the color of ripe orange or the deep sea is the main trend of recent years. We decided to see which coloring techniques are now in fashion, and which of the colorists sets the trends for multi-colored hair.
“If I have only one life … let me live it blonde,” said an advertisement in 1958 by Clairol, the manufacturer of the most popular American hair dye. These days, such an ultimatum seems, if not conservatively boring, then definitely outdated. Today, redheads, brunettes, and girls with opal and strawberry gum hair will find their place in the sun. The latest trends of the season dictate to us that the hair should be healthy and well-groomed, that as far as color, then it just needs to be natural.
Meaning Of Naturalness
The most interesting thing is that naturalness is not meant at all what 10-15 years ago. Surprisingly, the color of sea blue or fire flame can also look natural, most importantly – the right color accents.
If with classic shades like chestnut, blond, and even bronze, everything is clear, then how to deal with those colors that are not born, like watercolors, jeans, and gold. We found out how and with what tools you can change the color of your hair without harming their health and who is behind the best-colored heads of street style. We begin immersion in the world of colorful curls.
Beauty Trend: Colored Hair
First, let’s figure out what painting techniques are at the peak of their popularity and how they look.
Pastel And Neon Shades
The most popular type of staining. When the hair is first lightened, and then dyed in shades of caramel and crayons or neon signs in Times Square. Options with several shades of the same color look especially advantageous. In this case, the coloring turns out to be voluminous and very natural, if I may say so.
Rainbow Multi-color
In this version of dyeing, hair is tinted in several colors at once. It can be shades of one or, conversely, diametrically opposite colors. The main feature is to make the strands clearly visible and the differences in colors are visible.
Dip Dye
Such a technique is doubtful by many about its attractiveness, but there is still something to it. The task of the colorist is to dye his hair in such a way as to create the effect as if it were dipped in a can of paint, that is, the transition from a bright shade to your natural can be done practically according to the line, that is, no smooth transitions are required.
Oil Slick
The New York colorist Aura Friedman came up with this staining technique (it will be described separately below). It consists of the sequential application of dark blue and dark green shades to dark hair. The effect is impressive: in the light, the hair shimmers, and it’s true, like gasoline on wet pavement.
Opal Hair
Another Aura Friedman invention inspired by opal stone. In this staining technique, several shades are used, namely pearl, clove, salmon, and blue. Sometimes a little green tone is added to make contrasts even more noticeable and mouth-watering.
Northern Lights
Obviously, why this coloring got its name. When shades of green, light green, blue, blue, black, and white are spread on the hair, all this magnificence looks, let’s say directly bewitching. Especially when moving and in complex captures, when you can see how the hair differs from each other.
Who is painting in the Rainbow
Aura Friedman
Aura Friedman is the queen of New York, the lady of multi-colored hair, and, as they say, it is the one who brought into fashion all these incredible colors. Among her clients are Lady Gaga and Jennifer Lawrence, as well as all those who are tired of mournful dull hair.
Having a little look at her Instagram, you understand that the girl has a great sense of color. Painting even in the most incredible colors, Aura does not forget to consider such moments as skin color, eyes, and the image of her client as a whole. Friedman is the one who came up with such coloring effects as Oil Slick Hair (gasoline spilled on asphalt in rainy weather), Opal Hair (hair pearl, clove, salmon, and blue shades) and Splash lights (horizontal dyeing of strands that mimics a flash of bright Sveta).
Guy Tang
One of the most famous color experimenters. Guy leads a YouTube channel, gives numerous tips in magazines, and regularly holds workshops for large audiences. Once he came to Moscow and showed his skills to a huge audience. Of course, the audience was delighted.
Note that more than two million people signed up for his Instagram account on his account, and his name is known all over the world, so if you suddenly decide to entrust Guy with your hair, be prepared that you have to compete for a place at the hand of the master. They say that the waiting time can reach up to 6 months.
Tracey Cunningham
Tracy can be called one of the most sought-after colorists in the world. She is responsible for the hair color of such Hollywood celebrities as Chloe Kardashian, Charlize Theron, Gwyneth Paltrow, Lily Aldridge, Emma Stone, Dakota Johnson, Jennifer Lopez, and many others. However, standing in line for a little recording and giving a round sum of money, and you can become its client.
Tracy Cunningham’s proprietary technique is the creation of sun glare on the hair, the so-called “California blond”, the interweaving of several soft and warm colors of paint with your natural color. Creative coloring is also her element. If you want the flames of fire to swallow your head, Cunningham will arrange it without difficulty. The obvious and main plus of all her work is not even an impeccable technique and accurate selection of tones for your image, but the fact that after the master’s hands the hair seems so shiny, well-groomed, and healthy, that it’s hard to believe in their reality.
Daniel Moon
Dyes her hair in all shades of the rainbow Nicole Richie and Kylie Jenner. Monotonous stains and crazy experiments with multi-colored strands all over his head work equally well for him. To trust your hair, Moon is worth it, his hands can do real miracles with paint.
The colorist himself also loves to decorate his hair in a green tint, then a golden blond. By the way, it was thanks to his crazy Instagram video that everyone was talking about hair that glows in the dark.
Mateo Lara
