Hair: knowing everything before cracking for a sweep
Want to give some hair to your hair, without making a big change? Sweeping is for you! Discreet and natural, it will brighten your hair and brighten your face. Are you still hesitating? Here are our tips!
The scan is a partial coloration : only a few of your strands will be dyed, in a lighter color than your base color. So it is completely different from a classic coloring that, it, relates to the entirety of your hair, and which tends to further damage these.
The goal is to get a light result: the locks must be blended harmoniously into your hair . We avoid multiplying the nuances, at the risk of losing this natural side: it is better to be limited to two.
At present, the sweep is strongly competed by the " tie & dye ": this semi-coloration makes it possible to have darker roots up to mid-length, then clearer from there to the ends.
Contrasts for all the hair
Almost anyone can afford to sweep, whether you have straight or frizzy hair. On the other hand, it is to be avoided for those who have a short cut because the desired effect, an effect of depth, will be limited.
If you have fine hair, this is not a problem: on the contrary, a sweep will bring them volume. The same goes for loops: relief will be brought to them.
All colors are also entitled to this type of partial staining:
- If you are blonde or light brown , opt for golden locks or turntables , which will illuminate your natural color
- If you are brown or red , opt for amber locks . They will cause a depth effect thanks to this gradient of colors
- If you are brown , adopt hazel or caramel wicks , which will lighten your hair.
Avoid the summer period
It is advisable to sweep after the summer because the color may turn if it is too exposed to the sun. In addition, we avoid doing more than 3 sweeps a year , at the risk of damaging your hair.
Before starting the process, also make an appointment with the hairdresser to cut you all points and forks: the brightness of your hair will only be better if it is not damaged.
Some tips
When washing your hair, make a habit of using a shampoo for colored hair . Once a week, apply a mask on them , so that they are brighter.
If you plan to sunbathe, use a protective oil , which you will apply, by hand, on all of your wet hair. However, if you go on vacation in a sunny country, do not sweep in the days before your departure because their color will fade (also because of the water of the swimming pools and the sea).
Finally, never do a scan yourself : let a professional hairdresser do it because it requires a particular technique and a certain expertise.
