Hair contouring is one of the novelties of the end of last year, but it has become firmly in vogue only this year. Stylists and make-up artists, like fashion designers of famous Fashion Houses, never stand still and constantly improve their techniques. For the first time, a new method of coloring was noticed among Hollywood stars and was extremely enthusiastically received by their fans.

Girls who are little interested in new trends can understand one of the popular coloring techniques as “hair contouring”: balayage, shatush or ombre. To some extent they are right.The listed techniques are indeed used in order to recreate the desired effect and visually correct the shape of the face, however, at the same time, professional contouring additionally includes a haircut and styling. Thanks to such a set of actions, the stylist will be able to highlight the advantages of the girl's face and thereby overshadow its shortcomings.

The whole difficulty lies in correctly positioning this combination of tones along the entire length of the girl's hair. Not every stylist can cope with this, and therefore you should only contact experienced craftsmen who have a positive reputation.

Like facial contouring, the same hair procedure depends on the individual characteristics of women. These include the degree of density and hair color, the shape of the face and figure of the girl, as well as her color type and, of course, the desired result. All this the stylist must take into account, so that in the end the effect is as stylish and beautiful as possible.

The main reason why girls and women resort to hair contouring is that they want to visually emphasize or change the shape of their face. Of course, the coloring technique used by the stylist depends heavily on the type of structure of the client's skull. In contouring, there are no strict rules that would suit every woman. In practice, the master should be guided by the advice of professional makeup artists, his own experience and observations.

• Round face. In this case, the face needs to be visually stretched. To do this, it is necessary, first of all, to adjust the length of the hair.They should be below the shoulders. With the help of paint, light shades are applied to the space above the forehead along the hair growth, and then to the tips. Thus, the shadows from the strands will visually narrow the wide face. The front curls are recommended to be laid in small waves - they should smoothly frame the face.

• Square. Sharp facial features can be hidden by lightening strands next to problem areas: the chin and temples. When laying, it is worth remembering that wide cheekbones must be hidden under lush curls, and the roots must have volume. And if the hair is long enough, you should also lighten the ends.

• Oblong. In this case, professionals recommend smoothly darkening the hair at the roots and ends, while leaving light strands to frame the face. Laying should not be too lush.

• triangular. Haircut should be simple and avoid sharp transitions. You can hide a large forehead compared to the lower part of the face using the 50% to 50% technique: half of the hair is darkened from above, and then a smooth transition is made to light flowing tips. During styling, it is necessary to strive to add volume to the tips with the help of large waves.

• Oval. Girls with this type of face are very lucky, as it is considered the standard of beauty. Women have to correct it only because of their own whims. Depending on the desired effect and individual traits, an experienced master will easily select the most winning technique. Also, clients with an oval face can diversify their image at any time with the help of ombre or balayage, without worrying that the result may upset.

Contouring is usually done on dark or blond hair. Currently, there are several ways to apply paint:

• Flash effect. This technique is also called "flash of light". The name comes from the effect that this method of dyeing recreates on the hair. Most often it is used among Hollywood stars. Flowing light strands, skillfully interspersed in a thick mass of dark hair, create the impression of an echo of a camera flash on the hair, which looks very stylish and luxurious.

• Compound Coloring. The classic version, in which the master applies two muted, but always matching colors to the hair, focusing on the necessary areas. After the procedure, this coloring looks extremely natural and stylish.

• Underlighting. This method is most popular among young people. Its essence lies in coloring only the lower strands of hair. It can be both calm shades and revolutionary bright ones. The beauty of this technique is that, if necessary, bright strands can be partially hidden under the upper curls, and in the evening you can make a high hairstyle and create a bold and unforgettable look.

• strobing. This method is more complicated than Compound Coloring, but no less stylish than the Flash effect. It consists in alternately applying three light shades, first to wide curls, and then to narrow strands. Thus, the hair becomes visually more voluminous, and the palette is the most elegant.

Contouring is really popular this year.With it, you can create the most vivid and stylish image that will attract the admiring glances of people around you.
