Women love to experiment with their hair color. One wants a radical transformation from blonde to brunette or vice versa, the other likes poisonous green bangs and orange tips... Transform without changing radically; add liveliness and volume to your hair by abandoning contrast dyes; let sunbeams run through your hair without ruining your strands with classic highlighting... Shatush coloring exists just for such fashionistas.

What is "French highlighting"

The term “shatush” itself has only an indirect relation to fashion. This is the name of the finest goat fluff of the highest grade, from which incredibly soft and light cashmere fabrics are made. Ideally, your hair should become the same after coloring - airy, weightless, but at the same time voluminous, stylish and expensive. A real shatush - or French highlighting, as this technology is also called - cannot look cheap or sloppy, which is why it is so important to find a good craftsman to perform it.

The main credo of shatush is bright and natural

The main idea of ​​this sophisticated new product is to color the bulk of the hair with lightened and toned strands, chosen in a chaotic order. To the uninitiated in the subtleties of hairdressing, the viewer should have the impression that you have just arrived straight from a tropical paradise, where your unruly curls have faded under the hot sun.

Shatush, ombre and balayage - what is the difference between the methods

Fashionistas who are familiar with “solar burnout” technologies have probably already remembered similar coloring methods - balayage and ombre. That’s right, they all belong to one friendly family, originating from a single “ancestor,” classical highlighting. Everyone has the same goal of adding color and volume to their curls without sacrificing naturalness. Everything is done using similar technologies, mixed, complementing one another, so that, looking at the final result, you can’t always firmly determine whether it’s balayage or shatush? It gets to the point that some non-professional hairdressers confidently claim: both this and that, and the third technology are the same highlighting and are not fundamentally different from each other. But it is not so:

1. Ombre involves uniform “horizontal” coloring of the entire mass of hair. It can have clearly marked or blurred boundaries between color transitions, allows the use of any shades, even the most provocative ones, fits well on long hair, but with the proper skill of the hairdresser, it also looks good on short haircuts.
2. Hair dyed using the balayage technique is characterized by the presence of contrasting ends and colorful strands, “scattered” in complete disorder throughout the hair. Natural tones rule the show here - in addition to bright, sometimes even fiery red tips, all shades should be in harmony with the natural hair color - carefully blurred boundaries and slight negligence.
3. With a slight stretch, shatush can be called a more gentle and delicate version of balayage. When lightening and then tinting randomly taken strands, the master uses one or two, less often three shades that are close in tone, never stretches the color to the very roots and uses only the edge of the brush to avoid rough strokes. To achieve a particularly smooth color transition, the hair is pre-combed, and to add volume, try to work only with superficial strands, without dyeing them in depth. The most “neat” and light shatush can practically get lost in the mass of hair, leaving the feeling of unclear sun glare, slipping here and there among the curls.

Benefits of solar dyeing

Even the stars appreciated the beauty of “sun burnout”!

1. The strands highlighted on the top of the head enliven the hairstyle, and at the temples they give the face a fresh look, thanks to which, by the way, the shatush is popular not only among young people, but also among ladies of “Balzac age.”
2. Dark hair at the roots and in the lower layers adds visual volume to the curls.
3. Shatush does a good job of masking gray hair if it is no more than 30%.
4. Using this technology, you can correct clumsily done highlighting or unsuccessful coloring.
5. You won’t need to go to a salon for color correction for at least 2-3 months.

One thing is bad: shatush is not as simple as it might seem. To create a masterpiece out of a seeming mess, the master must have real artistic taste and skill in “sunny” coloring, or your curls risk turning into an indistinct pile of randomly lightened strands that have neither appearance nor a general idea.

Who is it suitable for: brunettes, blondes or fair-haired women?

• Since shatush is primarily a lightening product, it looks best on dark hair. Brunettes, brown-haired women, dark blond ladies - this is definitely your style! The most popular tones for dark curls today are nutty, chocolate, coffee with milk... Or those that you like best.
• If you carefully choose the color, you can very successfully shade light brown hair, although the artist’s efforts will not be so noticeable. Turn to golden, wheat and honey shades, and for very light hair - pearl, ash and bright blonde.
• But for pure blondes there is no point in wearing makeup - all the changes on their blond heads will simply be lost without a trace.
• The abundance of gray hair also makes the use of technology pointless. If hairs devoid of pigment occupy more than a third of the total volume of your hair, it will not be possible to disguise them with partial lightening.
• Shatush looks great on long hair, but loses all its charm when used on short hair. At a minimum, your curls should reach your shoulder blades, or you can forget about naturalness.

French highlighting, as a gentle coloring method, is readily used by those with thin, weakened hair. The hairstyle will gain airiness and splendor without compromising the health of the hair.

On blondes' hair, the lightening will be lost. Dark curls will be filled with a natural glow. Highlighted strands near the face will make you look younger. Finding the right shades for red hair is very difficult! The inhabitants of Hollywood were the first to appreciate the new technology. The play of light on curly hair looks especially advantageous. Elastic curls or neat ringlets? Doesn't matter! It is better to entrust coloring of a short haircut to a professional. The right choice of color is everything!

Preparing for the painting procedure

Well, without hesitation, name the main condition for successful coloring! The right color? Are the master's hands straight? High quality dye? Everything is true, and everything is secondary. The primary task in any case is to carry out the procedure in such a way as not to harm the hair. And for this you will need some preparation.

• A week or two before going to the hairdresser, start making yourself moisturizing and nourishing masks from a mixture of vegetable oils: almond, burdock, castor and any others. If your hair is oily, it will be enough to apply the oil to the scalp 2-3 times, leave for half an hour and rinse. For dry and tired hair, try repeating the procedure every three days before bed, then put a warm cap on your head, cover the pillow with an old towel and leave the oil on your hair until the morning. After two weeks, the curls will be ready for coloring.
• Give yourself a haircut in advance - cutting off colored strands will be both a pity and unwise, as this can bring disharmony to the image created by the master. All types of “solar coloring” look great on cascades, ladders, thinning, as well as elongated bobs and steeply curled curls.
• Choose your own colors. If you are new to coloring, it is better to seek help from a specialist who will tell you which shades will allow your curls to truly shine.

Methods used in salons

Depending on his experience and habits, the master will offer you one of two coloring methods. The first and most common looks like this:

Only the top layer of the strand is lightened

1. First, combed hair is divided into strands 2-3 cm wide using a comb with a sharp tooth and tied into ponytails.
2. Each individual strand will be combed well. This is what makes it possible to achieve the most blurred, smooth transition of color, for which, in fact, shatush is valued.
3. Then the application of lightening paint will begin, which the master will stretch along the length of the strand with chaotic strokes that do not have a certain order or symmetry. They are done with the side of the brush, with short, but not too sharp movements, exclusively on the top layer of hair.
4. Processing begins with the lower beams, while the upper ones remain raised and pinned. As you move towards the top of the head, the strands will be released and overlapped with the already colored ones. Since neither foil nor film is usually used in shatush technology, treated hair will come into contact with clean hair, enhancing the effect of “accidental” burnout.
5. The dye will be left to work for 10-40 minutes, depending on the desired level of lightening, and then rinsed off thoroughly.
6. In rare cases, this is where the matter ends. But to achieve maximum color depth, it would be better to tint the bleached curls with 2-3 shades close to the natural hair color.

The second method does not require backcombing, but not every master can do it. You need to master a truly filigree technique of applying dye to achieve the desired effect on smooth hair! However, it may turn out that you will fall into the hands of just such a professional who will lighten and tone your curls without tedious combing.

In some cases, when working with light hair, the roots are first darkened. This method allows you to make the shatush more expressive, but requires constant updating of the color.

Coloring at home

Correct combing is half the battle

Think carefully before deciding to “create” a shatush with your own hands. The work you have to do is, without exaggeration, titanic: do a good comb, including on the back of your head, “blindly” dye the strands in the right places, meet the time specified in the instructions so as not to dry out and spoil the curls... But if you have already decided, proceed according to the following scheme :

1. Comb the sectioned hair thoroughly. For convenience, you can secure them with elastic bands or hairpins, or you can simply throw them forward over your shoulders, separating them one curl at a time just before dyeing. Remember that the final result largely depends on how well the combing is done! But there is no need to try to make all the strands the same; let them be of different thicknesses - this will add naturalness to the hairstyle.
2. Thin the paint.
3. Using random strokes, apply it to your curls, starting from the back of your head. Don’t try to cover your entire head or saturate every strand with dye! The easier, more chaotic and freer your movements are, the better.
4. Wait for the time specified in the instructions.
5. Wash your hair.
6. This and the following steps should be performed only by those who have been familiar with home coloring for a long time; beginners should skip it. Dilute the dye chosen for tinting and “paint” the bleached hair, trying to apply darker shades closer to the roots, and lighter shades to the ends. Wait again for the paint to set.
7. Wash your hair.
8. Let your hair dry naturally.

Some young ladies use ready-made highlighting kits as a clarifier, and some tint their hair with natural henna and basma.

A few short tips:

• The easiest way to do shatush is on long dark hair. If your hair reaches the lower back, try to leave 5-6 cm of hair free from dye in the root part. This will make it easier for you to use the brush, you will be able to control the entire process even while dyeing the back strands, and the color stretch will be as natural as possible.
• Don't try home dyeing if your hair barely reaches your shoulders. Without the help of a professional, you will hardly be able to create anything intelligible with them. And at a length of less than 5 cm, the technology simply does not apply.
• Very dark curls require careful selection of lightener. Asian brunettes with thick, coarse hair should look for bottles marked 12%, light brown-haired and dark blond women should look for no more than 3%.
• Shades of gold and copper will suit tanned fashionistas. Blonde women with pale skin should give preference to cool ash and pearl tones.
• For those who find it difficult to dye “in the air,” you can use foil, cling film or sheets of white paper to lay out the dyed strands.
• Bright blondes don't need shatush. Your hair will benefit from California highlights like no other.

If your goal is to cover your gray hair, it's a good idea to have an extra pair of hands and eyes nearby. Invite a friend to a “coloring session” who will help with combing and applying paint.

Precautionary measures

• Lighting is lightening. It is strictly contraindicated for damaged hair, and treating split ends with dyes in literally two or three procedures will turn them into straw, which can only be cut off. Do not plan to color shatush if your hair needs treatment.
• Two days before the procedure, stop washing your hair. The strands will not have time to get properly dirty, but they will be covered with sebum, which will soften the effect of the bleach.
• Never skimp on paint or craftsman! It's not a pity to pay for quality work and pay properly - it's your hair!

If the coloring does not affect the roots, as is usually the case with French highlighting, the next visit to the hairdresser will take place no earlier than in 2-3 months. However, young ladies who have darkened the root area will have to visit the salon as their hair grows.

Today, when naturalness and naturalness are in fashion, a shatush for light brown hair will be an excellent decoration for your look. This technique managed to conquer fashionistas in a very short time. Today, Hollywood actresses and ordinary girls who want to be in trend flaunt their shatush.

What is a shatush?

This is one of the new techniques that creates the effect of burnt strands. It all looks as if you just returned from some hot countries, especially if your skin is very tanned.

The shatush technique, which goes well with light brown hair, has several significant advantages:

• Makes the face fresher and younger;
• Adds volume to strands;
• Emphasizes the naturalness and depth of the native color;
• Doesn’t harm your hair too much - when dyeing a light brown base, you can use dyes without ammonia. And the minimal harm that remains after the procedure can be quickly and easily eliminated by a balm and a mask;
• Does not require frequent corrections, because it does not affect the roots. You can update the shade no more than once every 3-4 months. By the way, from a financial point of view this is also a very profitable solution;
• Shatush takes much less time than other types of highlighting. For medium-length hair, it will take from 40 to 60 minutes;
• This technique is available at home, as it does not require any special accessories. True, you will have to enlist outside help;
• Shatush allows you to grow length and aesthetically cover growing roots;
• This is also a great option for girls who are treating curls.

Experts say that you can create the shatush effect only on long strands or shoulder-length hair. But many girls take the risk of doing this coloring even on a fairly short length - it turns out well.

What shades suit fair-haired people?

Dyeing shatush on light brown hair depends entirely on the shade you choose. The color should not be too contrasting - fair-haired people are advised to lighten the ends of their hair by a maximum of 2-3 tones. The lighter the hair, the smaller the degree of difference should be.

The following colors look best on light brown strands:

• Wheat;
• Amber;
• Honey;
• Walnut;
• Beige;
• Ashen;
• Golden;
• Pearl.

But it is better to refuse outright blonde and cold platinum, because the main principle of shatush remains naturalness.

When choosing the shade of the shatush, pay attention to your color type. For girls with a southern-type appearance, we recommend taking a closer look at golden tones. For those who have very fair skin, it is better to choose an ashy shade, and dye the strands near the face in any light color.

How to prepare your hair for the procedure?

If you decide to make shatush on light or dark brown hair, do not be lazy to prepare it for the dyeing procedure in advance (about 3 weeks in advance).

The preparatory stage includes several steps.

• Step 1. Take a course of moisturizing masks aimed at improving the structure of the strands.
• Step 2. Do not wash your hair a few days before the procedure. Firstly, the paint will adhere better. Secondly, the film remaining on the hair will protect it from the negative effects of the dye.
• Step 3. Also stop using styling products.
• Step 4. It is better to do the haircut in advance - unevenly colored split ends will give your hairstyle a not very neat look.
• Step 5. If necessary, even out the hair color by dyeing it in a base tone.
• Step 6: Take an allergy test.

Types and technology of shatush

Shatush hair coloring can be done in two ways:

1. Backcombed (classic technique) - involves dividing the hair into many thin strands, on which a backcomb is then created. It is this that allows you to achieve smooth color stretching.
2. Without backcombing (open technique) - a more gentle method. The master does the shading with a brush, applying a special bleaching agent to the strands. It is prepared individually, taking into account the final result and the client’s hair type.

Shatush at home

To make a shatush on light brown hair, prepare all the necessary materials:

• Paint for tinting;
• Clarifier;
• Comb;
• Thin comb;
• Towel.

Shatush is performed as follows:

1. Separate the lower part of your hair with a horizontal parting.
2. Secure the remaining hair with a clip so that it does not interfere.
3. In a chaotic manner, select several thin strands (1.5-2 cm).
4. Comb them well. It is extremely difficult to make a shatush yourself without backcombing!
5. Apply the lightening composition to them in short strokes, stepping back a few centimeters from the roots. It depends on the length. On medium hair – at least 5 cm.
6. Repeat the procedure with the remaining hair.
7. Wait 10 to 40 minutes. The exposure time of the composition directly depends on the effect you want to achieve. If you need to greatly lighten the ends, keep the mixture on longer. If you prefer more natural shades, 10 minutes is enough. To see the result, soak a cotton sponge in water and remove the dye from the strand. If necessary, extend the staining time.
8. Rinse off the dye.
9. Tint your hair to the chosen shade (not necessary, you can just lighten it). This procedure is supported by the fact that subsequent processing of the strands closes the scales that opened after lightening and makes the hair smooth and soft to the touch.
10. Wait 10-15 minutes.
11. Wash your hair with shampoo for colored hair and conditioner.

Important! Some hairdressers wrap their hair in foil, others don't. You decide!

How to care for your hair after dyeing?

Caring for colored strands involves standard procedures:

• To wash, use special products for damaged or colored hair;
• Regularly lubricate colored ends with masks and natural oils;
• Don't forget to trim off split ends.

Features of dyeing shatush for dark hair

Naturalness and naturalness are still at the peak of popularity. This applies to everything - makeup, manicure and hair.

Shatush dyeing on dark hair is very popular, allowing you to achieve the effect of sun-bleached strands. Thanks to the special method of applying paint, it is possible to create a fashionable and current look that gives a woman a touch of natural charm.

Features of the shatush technique

Shatush is a method of applying dye to hair that is close in shade to natural color. The main difference between the technique and others is the backcombing at the roots to obtain maximum color flow.

Advantages:

• Since the hair is not processed along its entire length, this reduces the negative impact of the dye.
• Dyeing is done outdoors, which also reduces the harm of the dye.
• With the help of shatush you can achieve the natural effect of burnt strands.
• Due to the lack of a clear border (like ombre), a very smooth color transition is obtained.
• There is no need to touch up growing roots every month.
• Light strands visually give the hair more volume.
• Shatush helps hide gray hair (if its amount does not exceed 20%).
• An ideal solution for women who are not ready for radical changes, but want to add a touch of novelty to their image.
• Allows you to visually correct the shape of your face, highlighting the shade of your skin and eyes.

Flaws:

• It is not recommended to do shatush on hair damaged by perm or frequent dyeing.
• On thin and sparse hair, the coloring will look less voluminous.
• The procedure is expensive.
• Difficult to do on your own.
• Shatush is not done on short hair.

Difference from other techniques

Distinctive features of the shatush technique from ombre, sombre, bronzing, balayage and Californian highlighting:

• Ombre has a clear border on the hair.
• When performing balayage, the dye is applied randomly along the entire length. Shatush has the same technology, but only from the middle to the bottom of the hair.
• Shatush is performed on combed strands, while ombre, sombre and balayage are performed on smooth strands.
• In the ombre and sombre techniques, foil is used.
• Bronzing is mainly done on light brown hair and a large number of shades are used.
• For California highlighting, use at least 5 shades. In this case, not only the top layer of hair is lightened, but also the deeper layers. California highlights are more suitable for blondes.

Who is suitable for dark hair?

Coloring is suitable for brunettes and brown-haired women. And so that it emphasizes the features of your appearance, soberly assess the structure and condition of your hair.

Length

• The ideal option is long hair and medium length. They allow you to maximize highlights and color transitions. Shatush looks very beautiful on shoulder-length hair, for example, on bob or bob haircuts with extension.
• Short hair does not go well with shatush, so owners of a sessun, pixie or garçon will have to look for another coloring option.
• Shatush is suitable for both haircuts with and without bangs. If the bangs are short or reach the eyebrows, then they usually do not dye them.

Structure

Shatush looks best on curly hair, as wavy hair focuses attention on the strands. Therefore, if you have straight hair, you can curl it with a curling iron. And those with curly hair can straighten them slightly with a hairdryer.

Density

It doesn’t matter what kind of hair you have - thick, thin or medium: shatush goes with everyone. Due to the use of similar shades, even the thinnest hair will look more voluminous and thick.

Previously colored hair

Shatush looks great on natural dark hair. To achieve the desired effect, you just need to apply paint of the desired shade to them. But if you are planning to do shatush on previously colored hair, you need to take into account some nuances:

• The technique is not suitable for strands previously dyed with henna or basma. Natural dyes do not always react adequately with artificial ones, so after dyeing your hair may acquire a blue or green tint.
• If your hair has been dyed black, dark blond or dark brown, you first need to apply lightening dye to it and then tint it to the desired color.

How to choose a shade

To choose the optimal color for shatush, you need to take into account your color type of appearance and the original shade of your hair.

There are four color types:

• Spring. Those with spring appearance have fair skin, grey, blue or green eyes and blond hair. Warm colors will suit you: wheat, honey, golden and cappuccino.

• Summer. The hair color of summer beauties is light blond or blond, the eye shade is cool gray, blue and light brown, the skin is light, slightly pale. Shades of a cold palette will suit you - pearl, nut or ash.

• Autumn. Autumn women have a warm skin tone with a slight blush, chestnut, red or dark brown hair, brown, green or amber eyes. Warm colors will suit you - caramel, copper, amber, golden, chocolate, cinnamon.

• Winter. The winter color type can be of two types - contrasting and non-contrasting. In the first case, winter women have porcelain-pale skin, cold gray, blue or blue eyes, blue-black or dark brown hair. In the second case, the skin has an olive tint, the eyes can be brown or black, the hair can be rich chestnut or light brown. Shades that suit you: coffee, dark chestnut, pearl or ash.

What paint is best to use?

Since coloring is carried out in a shade close to the original hair color, there is no need for aggressive lightening. This means that soft dyes can be used for shatush.

Coloring at home

The shatush technique is not easy and to perform it you need to follow the rules described below.

A correctly executed shatush gives the impression of sun-bleached hair, but if after a summer vacation the strands look dry and lifeless, then Gentle highlighting gives the hair shine, well-groomed appearance.

By dyeing technique Shatush is similar to balayage: the same random choice of strands, natural paint colors, concentration of light shade near the face, at the bottom of the hairstyle. But the distinctive feature of the shatush is the depth of the coloring layer - balayage covers only the top strands.

As we see, number of pluses significantly outweighs the number of shortcomings - this explains the frantic popularity of shatush.

IMPORTANT!

Brown hair allows you to significantly expand color range shades used for shatush: wheat, golden, ashy, nutty, pearl, white. But it is wrong to select a clarifier based only on visual considerations, the shade may not be in harmony with the skin color type. Dark-skinned beauties should stick to golden tones; fair-skinned girls will suit cold ashy options. The ideal solution is to color it with a colored tonic, which will soon be easily washed off, and focus on the results obtained.

Dyeing technique

Natural result Shatusha is achieved not only through gentle dyes, but also thanks to nuances of the technology itself, and here you have to rely only on the professionalism of the master. Therefore, it is better to approach the choice of salon responsibly. The main rule of shatush- open dyeing, without wrapping. Do it two methods:

• With fleece
  Most masters use this technique, as it has proven itself well - the effect of burning out in the sun is as natural as possible. First, the hair will be divided into strands about 2 cm thick, then the root zone will be heavily combed. A coloring compound is applied to the remaining smooth ends, left for the required time, and washed off.
• Without backcombing
  Such a service can only be entrusted to a professional who has long gained experience in this technique. A mistake when performing shatush without backcombing is fraught with too sharp a color transition, the presence of a clear boundary between the lightened ends and the root zone. Don’t hesitate to do some preliminary research before going to a certain salon: ask your friends, look at the reviews on the organization’s website.

Lightening composition for light brown hair is selected individually in each case, based on their tone. Sometimes, for a more expressive result, first tinting is done along the entire length - this is especially true if previous dyeing experiments were not entirely successful and color alignment is required.

Some girls, wanting to save money, they risk making shatush themselves at home. Of course, nothing is impossible, but having decided on such an experiment, several nuances need to be taken into account:

• Rake out the comb at the roots yourself after coloring and washing your hair pretty hard. You can make your task much easier - braid the locks in small braids.
• Another one often used at home methodology- collect hair in high ponytail, and only then comb it a little, breaking it into strands.
• The paint is applied in short strokes, less intense in the middle of the length, abundantly at the tips.

Shatush - difficult to perform coloring: errors are possible in creating a smooth transition of tones, choosing the time of paint exposure. Considering that correction after professional coloring it’s not required very soon, it’s still wiser to spend money on a salon once than later correct the result of his unsuccessful attempt.

Hair care

Shatush though considered gentle coloring, still implies a chemical effect on the hair. Usually used on light brown hair soft coloring compounds, but they can also spoil the appearance of the hairstyle. Experienced hairdressers advise preparing for the procedure in advance:

• A couple of weeks before Shatush start applying special nourishing and moisturizing masks for hair. You will find recipes for such masks.
• It would be useful course of treatment with burdock oil, which must be rubbed into the roots every other day. How to properly restore hair using essential oils, read by going to .
• Dry ends need to be trimmed - let the hair be a little shorter, but the paint will stick better.

After lightening, your hair needs extra care, so buy shampoo and conditioner designed specifically for colored hair. Consult your hairdresser - he will tell you what products to pay attention to. To prevent excessive yellowness of the ends, you can use a coloring toner. If you take proper care, shatush on brown hair will delight you for a long time.

Coloring does not affect the roots, does not require frequent correction, and, therefore, allows you to get a bright image for several months.

What is the difference between ombre, shatush and balayage?

Most often, hairdressers use three color options to create fashionable looks: shatush, ombre and balayage. Many people confuse them. However, experts identify a number of characteristics that make it possible to separate different techniques from each other:

1. Shatush is achieved by smoothly stretching the color from the roots to the very tips, with an emphasis on the latter. Individual strands are selected and colors as close to natural as possible are taken.
2. When dyeing ombre, the entire length of the hair is divided into 2 parts. Light and dark shades or bright colors are used. The transition is smoothed out.
3. Balayage involves highlighting chaotic strands that are lightened or tinted using a colored dye. With this coloring, the texture of the hairstyle is well emphasized.
