Today, a large number of different colors have appeared. And if earlier it was possible to add light strands only with the help of highlighting, today technology allows us to change the color in a less gentle way and at the same time get a rather interesting and beautiful transition. In coloring, hairdressers can use shatush, ombre, balayage and others techniques.

What is shatush

Shatush is one of the popular coloring techniques, which consists of lightening with a smooth transition to darker shades. In this case, the dye is applied to strands of different thicknesses, retreating a considerable distance from the roots. Due to the fact that approximately half of the hair length is dyed, the procedure can be repeated approximately once every 3 months.

Most often, curls of medium length or longer are subjected to this coloring. Only an experienced craftsman can make short shatush.

Features of shatush for short hair

Shatush is a technique that allows you to change the shade, but at the same time the color remains more natural. If you have to dye short hair, the result will no longer be the same. The difference will be much more visible. Therefore, if you have short hair and you definitely want this method of changing color, then it is better to turn to a real professional. But just keep in mind that the result will differ from the photographs in which this technique is presented.

Who is it suitable for?

This method of coloring looks most successful on those who have naturally light shades, such as light brown, blond, or brown-haired. For those who have darker colors, one of the varieties of shatush - Californian highlighting - will be great. And of course, it is best suited for long and medium hair.

This technique is also chosen by women who already have gray hair. But it is suitable only for those whose gray hair accounts for no more than 30%.

Shatush will also help add a little volume to your curls if they are naturally thin and not very thick.

Palette of shades for shatush

So, the shades for it may vary. It all depends on the original color:

The following shades are best suited for shatusha light and brown hair:

• pearl;
• wheat;
• beige;
• ashen;
• walnut;
• caramel;
• golden.

The following shades are suitable for dark hair:

1. walnut;
2. wheat;
3. light brown;
4. chestnut;
5. golden;
6. honey

Shatush for light and dark short hair

For those with dark hair, you can choose shades that are slightly lighter than the original color, about 2-3 tones. Then the result will be more natural.

Blondes can experiment with colors and choose darker tones.

For those who have light brown hair, you can make shatush with both light and dark dyes.

How to do it

Staining using this technique is performed in two ways. You can backcomb it before applying paint, or you can do it without it.

What is necessary:

• paint – 2-3 packages, depending on the number of shades chosen;
• toning agent, if necessary;
• brush for applying paint;
• comb;
• gloves.

Hair preparation

You need to prepare your hair for coloring long before this day. In about 2-3 weeks you need to do the following:

• During the entire preparation period, make masks 2-3 times a week. Nourishing, moisturizing, vitamin, any;
• Also during this period it is advisable to contact go to the hairdresser and trim split ends;
• Wash your hair 2 days before staining;
• On the day of dye application you cannot use various styling products;
• If the main length needs painting, then first you need to paint the entire length in the base color. You can start shatush after 1-2 weeks.

Coloring

Let's look at how dyeing is done using this brushed technique:

1. Comb your curls and highlight a few strands. The width of each of them should be no more than 2-3 cm;
2. Now you need to comb each of the selected strands;
3. Once everything is prepared, you can start mixing paint or brightener with an oxidizing agent. If you have thin hair, then you are recommended to use an oxidizing agent of 3%, and if you have thick hair, then you can use 6.9 or 12%;
4. Next, apply the paint with a special brush to the prepared strands. The paint should be applied a few centimeters away from the roots. You can dye the strands from the middle to the very ends.
5. Apply the coloring composition carefully. Strands near the face can be lightened more strongly and along the entire length. This method will slightly refresh your complexion;
6. Now leave the paint for the time indicated on the package, or watch it as it goes. Everything will still depend on the base color and quality of the hair:
7. After you wash off the paint, you need to apply a tinting agent. In this case, the product must be rubbed well into colored hair;
8. The toner should remain for about 15 minutes., then it needs to be washed off;
9. Apply a balm or mask after the toner. But only this time you need to keep these products for about 10 minutes and then rinse off.

The shatush technique without backcombing differs from the previous one in that you are unlikely to be able to perform it at home. This option requires the hand of a master.

What colors are suitable

The shades that suit this or that color are listed above. But if you want to completely change the color, then you need to start from the main color that you get and then select shades for the shatush.

If coloring occurs during the warm season, then keep in mind that the strands closer to the face quickly fade in the sun. The part of the hairstyle at the back of the head practically does not change its color under the influence of the sun.

The paint for the shatush, or rather the brightener, is chosen by the master himself, who will carry out the entire procedure. On your own, you can choose the brand that you have trusted for a long time. But if you have not used a clarifier yet, then first do a sensitivity test. Masters in salons use Estelle, Matrix, L'Oreal and others paints.

Care

Since during the procedure the strands are lightened, which means they become drier, they require special care afterward:

• Replace your usual shampoo and conditioner with those designed for colored hair;
• For dry hair, styling products that contain silicone are recommended. They will perfectly protect your curls;
• Continue making nourishing masks;
• Try to use a hair dryer and straightener less often for styling;
• Cover your head in the sun to prevent your hair from drying out even more.

Advantages and disadvantages

The advantages include:

1. It is not necessary to maintain coloring every month;
2. the change in shade is noticeable, but the transition is very smooth;
3. Suitable for those who do not want to lighten completely due to existing gray hair;
4. one of the most gentle ways to lighten curls.

The disadvantages include the following:

1. does not look good on short hairstyles;
2. not suitable for blondes, or rather not so noticeable.

If you want changes, but do not want to radically change the color, then shatush is an excellent option in this case. But if you still have short hair, then you should pay attention to other dyeing methods.

And due to the fact that some of the hair is bleached, caring for it after this procedure will differ significantly from what you are used to. Therefore, be prepared to change most shampoos and conditioners. But you will undoubtedly like the result of professional coloring and proper care.

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 coloring composition.
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 strands 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.

Any representative of the fair sex wants to be beautiful and attractive. Hair in this sense is far from in last place. Often, when a woman wants to change something in her appearance, the first thing she does is change her hairstyle.

But few people have heard about staining shatush, so the question arises: “What is it?”

Shatush is a special way of coloring hair, which includes elements from other techniques, for example, ombre, balayage and highlighting. However, unlike the others, using the shatush method on black or any other hair, the natural effect of sun-bleached strands is achieved, the result can be seen in the photo.

Achieving this effect requires the use of two close shades, creating the impression of beautiful strands with tints of color.

Real effect

For fair-haired beauties, the coloring procedure is not accompanied by prohibitions. Whatever shade they choose, be it fiery red or jet black, it will cover the strands perfectly and will last a long time.

Looks good in shades of silver, chocolate, copper, caramel. Moreover, these colors can work wonders, making a woman visually 5 years younger.
3. Lovers of brighter, extravagant images also have something to please. They should consider coloring options in red, burgundy, red, and pink. In combination with initially dark hair, this image looks very unusual and memorable.

“Shatush is an effective dyeing technique using color stretching with the obligatory backcombing of the hair”

Naturalness in makeup and hair coloring is the number one modern trend. The beauty of the shatush dyeing technique fully meets all fashionable requirements. The effect of sun-bleached hair is achieved by a smooth transition from dark roots to light strands along the entire remaining length of the hair.

1 The difference between shatush and highlighting, ombre, balayage techniques

It is difficult for a layman to appreciate the difference between these similar techniques. All of them are used to give a natural, as natural as possible hair tone with a beautiful sunburn effect. In each of them, the end result is a contrast of dark roots and light ends.

• The elegance of shatush and its difference from the traditional one highlighting, including Californian highlighting, is the technology of stretching the paint that the hairdresser uses.
• From dyeing method ombre Shatush is distinguished by its chaos and lack of noticeable gradation.
• Balayage- this is the golden mean between the two previous techniques: there are also contrasting ends of the hair, but the coloring will be done vertically, and the lower part stands out more dramatically.

2 Blondes, brunettes, brown-haired women - who should choose the shatush?

Before moving on to the basic hair shades, let me touch on an important point - hair length. There is one indispensable condition: in order for the shatush to demonstrate all its beauty and charm, it must be worn on long or medium-length hair. On short ones, there will simply be no room for him to disperse, and the result may very much upset you - you will end up with neither two nor one and a half. For those who like haircuts such as bob, lob or bob, it is better not to risk a full-fledged shatush. But there are secrets for short hair- about them a little below.

• Another limitation, quite unexpected, but true, is bright red hair shade. On them, the shatush will look, if not indistinct, then simply inappropriate. And repainting such an amazing color is almost blasphemy. But if you really want to, you will have to resort to tinting both the roots and ends - however, this process is complex, and you should not do it yourself at home, the experience may be unsuccessful.
• You have the best luck with shatush brunettes And brown-haired women. It will not be difficult for the hairdresser and you to choose from the mass of shades the one that suits and pleases you. Lightened curls can rejuvenate and soften the look - a definite plus.
• To the owners fair-haired And dark blond Hair, too, should not be ignored - the gentle contrast will give your curls and you expressiveness and brightness.
• Golden blondes It is recommended to abandon the shatush and turn your attention to a technique with similar results - California highlighting. Or, as in the case of red-haired girls, do toning.
• For blondes An experienced master will advise you to go through the coloring step by step: on top of the roots, make the natural or already colored color darker, and lighten the remaining strands. In total, for blondes using the shatush technique, no more than two shades should be used.

3 Why should you choose coloring of shatush?

First of all, because of its versatility: coloring for any age, type and, with a few exceptions, hair color. One "but". This dyeing method is not so easy to do at home. Even if you have all the techniques, step-by-step instructions and a video tutorial on hand, it is better to turn to a master of his craft to look like a luxury model.

Otherwise, the technology has no disadvantages, and it’s time to move on to the advantages.

• Saving time and money. The process of lightening the strands will be simple, quick and long-lasting. You will leave the hairdresser in a maximum of 2 hours, and you don’t have to rush back there to refresh your shade. On average, having paid once for painting, a repeat visit can be postponed for 3-4 months.
• Gentle on hair. Due to the fact that the technique, as a rule, does not involve applying dye or powder directly to the hair roots, their hair follicles do not suffer, and the hair remains healthy and shiny. For those who have thin or curly hair, this is the best option.
• Extra shine and volume. The effect is visual, but extremely necessary to give thin hair volume, and faded hair - liveliness and brightness.
• Beautiful hairstyle with a minimum of effort. Shatush dyeing looks great on both straight and slightly curled hair. Even the classic ponytail will sparkle in a new way.
• How about gray hair? If you no longer want to completely dye your gray hair every month, play up its gray color with darker shades of platinum or other suitable tones, depending on the tone of your face - gray hair will simply get lost against the backdrop of shiny multi-colored strands.
• Overgrown roots are no longer a vice. With professionally bleached strands below the roots, you no longer need to make an appointment at the hairdresser after every paycheck. And worry about your “imperfection”.
• Hiding flaws and emphasizing advantages. Dark strands framing the face at eye level emphasize their depth and make them more expressive. Longer blonde strands have a rejuvenating effect. And the playful mixture of shades distracts from such skin imperfections as unevenness, wrinkles, double chin or minor redness.

“For successful coloring of shatush, avoid strong contrast between the color of the roots and ends of the hair.”
