Today, booking is carried out in almost all beauty salons and hairdressing salons. This technique is considered one of the most fashionable and popular. But not everyone can afford this procedure because of its high price, and therefore some decide to bronze their hair at home. How to carry it out?
Is it worth it?
Before making a reservation at home, evaluate your capabilities and strengths. This technique is considered quite complex, so not everyone can perform it. Experienced craftsmen undergo special training, and only professionals in their field can achieve amazing results. If a newbie gets down to business, the results may ultimately differ greatly from the desired ones. Yes, a detailed video will help you study all the features and understand the technology, but in the absence of minimal viewing skills it will not be enough. So if you doubt yourself, seek help. It is especially necessary for those with long hair.
Hair preparation
To make a high-quality bronzer and get the desired effect, prepare your hair for this procedure. First, take good care of them using moisturizing, nourishing and restorative cosmetics. Secondly, if you are planning to get your hair cut, do it before booking. But even if a haircut is not planned, you will need to trim the ends in any case.
What will you need?
Before making a reservation, prepare everything you need:
- Dye. Several tones will be required, but they should all belong not only to one brand, but preferably to the same line. If you select funds from different companies, they may have an unpredictable reaction that will ruin the result.
- Disposable rubber gloves. Perform all actions in them.
- Special protective cape. It will protect your clothes from getting dirty.
- Bowl for paint. Prepare a plastic or glass container, but not a metal one.
- Spatula for stirring the coloring composition.
- Brush. It is better to prepare several: one of medium width for applying the main tone and another narrow one for lightening individual strands.
- Foil. It will be used during highlighting.
- A comb with fine teeth and a long narrow handle (for dividing hair into separate parts).
- You can also prepare a detailed video describing the entire procedure, which will answer questions and avoid mistakes.
Color selection
To make your hair truly beautiful, you need to decide on the colors. The simplest and most convenient option for home use is to use a natural color as the main color. In this case, you will not have to carry out full staining, and the procedure will be more gentle. But if the natural color is too dark, then it is better to lighten it. It can be carried out in several stages, this will allow you to get the perfect tone. Today, chocolate, chestnut, nut, cognac, and brown shades are relevant. The second shade will be used to lighten. It should differ from the main one by only 2 or three tones, no more. The most popular colors are honey, wheat, linen, pearl-walnut, light walnut, pearl, and golden. You will also need a darker color (but it will also be lighter than the main one), which will be used for shading and coloring necessary to deepen the color.
Remember that all selected tones must belong to the same scale. They can be either warm or cold, mixing is not recommended. When choosing, it is advisable to take into account the color type and appearance features.
How to carry out the procedure?
How to do booking at home? Main stages:
- Instead of foil, you can use a perforated hat and a knitting needle or hook. First, put the cap on your head, then pull one small strand through the holes and lighten it. In this case, no foil is required.
- For smoother and more natural transitions, you can use not two shades, but three, but no more.
- You can highlight a separate part of the hair (this is called zonal bronding), for example, facial strands or the parietal area. When designating the parietal zone, you can apply a lighter tone not to the ends, but to the middle of the strands.
- You can lighten only the crown area, leaving the temporal and occipital areas dark.
- Toning can be done in several shades. One of them may be slightly darker than the main color, and it should be applied only to the roots and preferably to the hair of the occipital area.
- Follow the directions given in the instructions that came with the paint. Do not exceed the holding time.
- It is better to do booking in a well-lit and ventilated room.
- Be prepared for the procedure to take almost the whole day.
Let your booking at home be a success!
