What is shatush for hair, how is the procedure carried out and what are its advantages, the features of applying paint using shatush technology on curls of various lengths and the rules for selecting shades. Shatush is a style of hair dyeing when the master uses two shades very close to each other, achieving the effect of burnt hairs on the ends. The paint is applied to the curls, without affecting the roots, with light strokes, toning the natural color.
The essence of shatush staining technology
The word shatush means very thin and light goat down. It is used to make the most expensive cashmere fabrics. It is they who easily pass through the wedding ring.
In cosmetology, this name is assigned to the technology of hair dyeing, the effect of which is as close as possible to the natural fading of hairs under the rays of the sun. It is achieved by stretching the paint over the curls. During this procedure, foil and cap are not used. The whole process takes place in the fresh air. Before dyeing, frequent thin strands are separated and then combed. Thus, the boundary of the paint application is determined.
Also, modern hairdressers use the new shatush technique without fleece. In this case, shading is done by using a special bleaching agent and applying it correctly.
This technology for changing the natural tone of hair is suitable for any representative of the fair sex, regardless of the natural color of the curls. Shatush looks best on dark blond, black, light blond, chestnut, red hair. Blondes will be able to use this technique too. But the California highlights will look prettier on them.
Shatush has one small but very significant nuance. Not every master will be able to do it right on very short haircuts. This technique can lead to unexpected and strange results on short hair. That is why ladies with very short haircuts should use this coloring method with caution.
The main advantages of shatusha
This dyeing style has many advantages over other cosmetic procedures that change hair color:
- When the hair is shattered, the border of the paint application is washed off, so the curls have a natural burnt out appearance.
- Thanks to the blurred transitions between strands from dark tones to light tones, hair looks great and fresh in any light. At the same time, the color of the strands themselves changes, significantly transforming a woman.
- This technique visually increases volume, so it is great for fine hair.
- Using this procedure for coloring allows the hair to grow back to its natural color while remaining elegant and attractive.
- Correction is carried out 2, 5-3 months after staining. This is much longer than with simple highlighting or using dye for the entire length of the hair.
- This technology makes it easy to hide gray "threads". However, the procedure will be effective in the presence of 30% gray hair in relation to the entire volume of hair. If there is more, it is worth choosing coloring.
To appreciate all these benefits on your hair personally, it is better to make a shatush in the salon from a professional master. However, the shatusha home procedure will also not be too difficult.
The technique of performing shatusha on hair of different types
You can paint the shatush at home. Of course, the effect of it may not be the same as in a professional salon. However, it will save money. First of all, carefully study the tips for applying dye to hair of different shades and lengths. As for the technique of the procedure, it is simpler than the usual highlighting and takes less time. In this case, the set of tools is limited to a few elements. To carry out the shatusha, you will need a cape on the shoulders, paint and bleach, a comb for separating strands, hair clips.
Features of holding a shatush on long hair
Long hair is best for swinging. The color transitions on them are as natural as possible. After all, thanks to the length, you can stretch and shade the paint well.
The shatusha technology on long hair has a number of significant features. So, long hair is not combed. On them, paint is applied with light strokes, starting from the back of the head. Moreover, we apply a dark shade to the area near the roots, and a light one to the ends.
The distance from the root should not be less than 6 cm. The composition must be thoroughly shaded. You can use clamps or foil to hold the treated strands in place. Note, it is believed that the shatush is made without the use of foil, but some masters advise using it for the convenience of working with hair.
It is better to trim the ends of the hair before the procedure. And after it, when washing your hair, be sure to use special balms.
How to make shatush for medium hair
Medium length hair, like long hair, is optimal for performing highlights using the shatush technique. You can do it at home, or you can use the services of a professional master.
In the case of medium hair, the bouffant is required. Otherwise, you will not define a border for starting paint application. Note, if you want to make the tone of the roots darker, then the shatush should be done 3-4 days after staining. The procedure is carried out using the following technology:
- We choose a place where we will carry out the shatusha process. It is recommended to cover the floor with paper, and by itself - change into an old T-shirt or sweater.
- We dilute the paint in a glass or ceramic container. We use a brush to apply it. Up to four shades of paint can be applied. This will create a natural burn-in effect.
- Using a massage brush, carefully comb the hair. Then we divide into the usual parting.
- Starting with the lower strands 3 cm thick, carefully comb the hair around the entire circumference of the head. At the end of combing, you should have a "dandelion".
- Do not take strands that are too thin, otherwise you may end up with the look of low-quality highlighting made by an inexperienced craftsman.
- We start the tinting process by dyeing the lower strands. When applying smears, do not dye your hair too hard. Better to do this casually, carefully blending the paint. This will give you a natural result.
- When the entire head is completely processed, leave the hair open. The paint can be washed off after 30 minutes.
The ideal haircut for highlighting hair shatush is a cascade of medium length. It allows you to reveal all the beauty of such coloring.
Dyeing shatush for short hair
We note right away that the shatush on a haircut less than 5 cm is not done at all. Otherwise, it will look like a banal and not very beautiful highlight.
For shatusha haircuts of the "square" type are excellent, when there is hair of a certain length, allowing you to shade the paint.
If you decide to give your hair a "burnt-out" effect, it is better to contact a professional hairdresser. It will execute the procedure correctly and eliminate the "unexpected" result. In general, the technology for applying dye to short hair is similar to the shatushka for medium-length curls.
The inconvenience of dyeing short hair using the shatush technology at home is the inability to see the process. Long to medium hair is better in this regard.
Shatush technique for dark hair
The choice of tones for coloring depends on your desire and the natural hair color. What means you will tint the strands is your personal preference. It can be both natural ingredients (henna, basma) and professional paints.
It is worth remembering that dark hair should be lightened before dyeing in the desired shade, otherwise the paint runs the risk of not dyeing the curls or its color will not match the desired one.
As with any dyeing, you should not wash your hair for two days before applying the shatush. The procedure is carried out according to the following scheme:
- We carefully comb the hair and divide it into frequent strands up to 2 cm thick in random order.
- Fasten the remaining hair with clips.
- We comb the selected strands. This will allow you to define the boundary of the paint application.
- We prepare the composition for clarification in a glass container. The tool is selected individually and depends on the thickness of the hair. If the hairs are thin, a 3% clarifier is suitable, if they are thick, then 12% should be chosen.
- We collect the paint with a special brush and apply it to the hair with light blending movements.
- After 15-20 minutes, wash off the clarifier and start the toning process. Apply dark tones closer to the root of the hair, and the rest of the strand should remain light.
- After 20 minutes, wash off the tone under running water.
In order for the result on dark hair to be effective, it is better to take the used tone slightly lighter than your natural hair color.
Shatush dyeing technique for blonde hair
Owners of blond hair can also make themselves a shatush. But blondes should remember that the effect of strands burnt out in the sun is not suitable for all ladies. If you are the owner of a natural blonde, then you should give preference to California highlighting.
If you decide to make a shatush at home, pay attention to the following points:
- The choice of a tinting base must be done based on your color type. If you are a representative of the Nordic appearance, then you should choose ash tones. If you are a pronounced southern type, then your shades are golden.
- When choosing a dye for shatush for blonde hair, consider the main color of the curls. The color of the paint should be a couple of shades lighter, no more. The same goes for darker dye if you intend to use it on blonde hair. It should be 1-2 shades darker than the natural hair color.
- Initially, you need to choose a base shade and only then choose tones for it.
- The strands near the face need to be made lighter.
- To achieve the "sun kiss" effect on blonde hair, remember that the topmost curls fade first. On the back of the head, the hair almost does not fade.
The procedure for applying paint is no different from the standard brushed one. The final stage is hair treatment with balm. This will not only fix the result, but also moisturize the hair.
Shatush on red and light brown hair
This type of hair is best suited for the shatus technique. It is on light brown hair that such highlighting looks naturally beautiful.
If you are the owner of such curls, then when choosing shades for shatush, pay attention to the following: golden, wheat, walnut, beige, you can ash. These tones provide an incredible effect. However, they are slightly lighter than your natural color.
But, as for red hair, it is more difficult to carry out this procedure and achieve a natural look of curls than with other hair colors. The fact is that red hair almost does not fade in the sun. And it can be quite difficult to choose the shade that should be tinted to the tips. Try to choose the color of the paint 1-2 tones lighter.
How to make shatush on black hair
Owners of black hair can make highlights of shatush using bright, non-standard colors. It is on brunettes that they look amazingly impressive and stylish.
Note that you should not make the strands too light. Then the hair will resemble a wig and look unnatural. Therefore, when choosing toning paints, preference should be given to fiery red, chestnut, golden, etc. These shades will give your hair life, give a light spark of the sun and at the same time emphasize naturalness.
However, if you are a lover of bold experiments, then you can try other shades on your hair: mahogany, crimson and others. The result can be surprising and interesting.
If you want to perform the shatusha procedure at home, carefully read the technique. In general, it is standard and brushed.
