Venetian Highlights

Venetian hair styling is a modern staining technique that even the most futuristic-minded masters could not have imagined before.

The fact that at first glance this technique looks strange - you need to very much trust the taste of the hairdresser to allow him such a risky coloring, because the effect of the Venetian melioration is unpredictable.

What is the technique of the Venetian melioration?

The technique of Venetian highlighting gives the master maximum freedom of action. He applies light or dark paint on intuitively selected strands to create the effect of burnt hair or unusual glare.

In this case, the foil is not used, and the strands are not distinguished with geometrical precision, as in the case of classical melioration . The barber selects not the entire strand, but only its end and middle, and with the help of a brush stretches the color along the length, creating a smooth transition effect.

Most masters distinguish several wide strands and paint them with one shade, holding the paint a different amount of time, so that the coloring is uneven, chaotic and smooth, or a few shades, the difference in tones between them does not exceed 2-3 units, and unlike the main hair color more than 3.

Master, depending on the idea, you may need to stain one strand several times, so that the hairs are shimmered in several tones at the same time.

Time such a procedure can take a very long time - from 3 to 4 hours, which depends on the length of hair and technical complexity. When using several shades and double staining, the time spent in the cabin is increased.

What is the effect of Venetian highlighting?

This technique allows you to create the effect of burnt strands, as well as futuristic images. For example, when using purple, burgundy, blue and white shades, you can create original images that are remembered for their brightness and unusualness.

Most girls, pursuing the trend of naturalness, stop at choosing "burned under the sun" strands. In doing so, the wizard uses wheat and amber hues.

The advantages of Venetian highlighting

Despite the fact that such a creative and delicate work of a master costs much more than a classical schematic highlighting, as a result this technique is cheaper, because there is no need to tint the roots and update the color every month. Also, Venetian melioration is more comfortable for the hair, because only small sections of the head of hair are lightened or darkened.

How to make a Venetian highlight at home?

To make Venetian melioration with your own hand is a very difficult task, because it is inconvenient to paint the back of your head artistically. Hairdressers do not recommend doing such experiments, while full classical hair coloring, in their opinion, can be overpowered at home on their own.

But there is a home remedy that helps create the effect of burnt strands - this is olive oil. It washes away the pigment, and so dark-haired girls with masks based on olive oil can achieve partial lightening of the strands.

If you are categorical and want to make such a marking at home, then you have to accept the idea that it will be half Venetian - you will have to use a cap for highlighting, which can prevent you from making smooth transitions of shades.
