Stroking of hair - what is it?

This painting is also called the play of light and shadow. Strobing of hair is a technique used by stylists to correct the face oval. In cosmetology, sculpting is used, in the barbershop - stroking. It involves staining individual strands of hair in lighter (two or more) tones according to the individual scheme for each client. The bottom line is that you need to arrange glare on your hair so that you can successfully adjust its oval, emphasize beauty and hide flaws.

Strobbing hair looks very natural. Sometimes it can be compared with neatly burnt strands, which is so important. In addition to naturalness, this technique visually increases the volume of hair, rejuvenates the wearer and does not do as much harm to hair as classic staining.

It allows you to create such individual combinations of highlighting of different sections of hair that the girl who chooses it becomes unique. It is not necessary to stand under the light of the soffits to feel like a star. You can choose the strobing of hair and shine always.

Strobing for a square type face

The classical shape of the face is considered oval. Its owner suits the maximum possible hairstyles, styling and staining methods. But no less than those who have other outlines of the face. Correctly to correct an oval, to emphasize advantages and to hide not the most advantageous forms - for all it and is intended stroing of hair.

A square face is characterized by pronounced cheekbones and a lower jaw. Strobing helps make the oval more feminine and adjust its heavy lower part. To do this, it is necessary to stain the upper strands around the face, not below the cheekbones. The areas thus highlighted translate the focus to the top of the face, distracting attention from the chin.

If the haircut is made in such a way that the front strands are longer than the cheek line, it is recommended to make an elongated bang. It then makes a strobing.

Strobing for a triangular face

The triangular face has an enlarged upper part (forehead, cheekbones) and an elongated, narrow lower part. In order to give this person an oval shape, stroking should be performed below the cheek line, in the neck area. The accent shifts to the chin, so that the upper part of the face no longer seems so weighty.

In this case, the staining can be carried out throughout the lower part of the hair.

Stress the beauty of the round face

Owners of a round shape of the face can pull the oval, too, with the help of this staining technique.

To do this, leave the strands directly around the face intact (the dark background will make it narrower). Color the following strands from the roots to their end. They will help visually lengthen the face. These goals are best served by long straight hair.

The bright owner of the round face, Selena Gomez also tried to do stroking of the hair. The photo shows how even a slight but correct lightening of the strands visually pulls the face oval.

Correct the shape of the elongated face

This face oval has a small width in the horizontal and an elongated shape along the vertical. The brightest representative with an extended form of face can be called Sarah Jessica Parker. She made this feature her business card. Those who want to adjust such an oval, you can advise making a strobing. Hair coloring in this case is done asymmetrically. It is necessary to brighten up strands of an elongated bangs, laid on one side. Such horizontal lines will visually expand the narrow face and shorten its elongated shape.

Strobing hair at home

This hair coloring is suitable for independent experiments. It is performed in the technique of "free hand", i.e. with a minimum of special tools and means. The paint is applied by hand with a brush. In this case, the strands do not even need to be distributed, if you want to make a slight tint, put emphasis.

In order to create more accented strands, the hair needs to be divided with a comb (scallop), and after staining, wrap it in foil. So the paint does not fall on the adjacent sections of the hair.

To make the strands look as natural as possible, the transition of the shades was imperceptible, the painted faces can be pre-stripped. So only a few hairs will be painted, which will be the coveted glares of light.

The choice of paint can be made depending on the purpose. Most often, strokes use shades of 2 shades lighter than the original. For example, if it was dark blond, you can safely choose light blond. This will result in the most natural effect.

The most daring girls use strobing and to create a more unusual image. They choose bright shades (blue, crimson, turquoise) for painting and experiment with coloring.

The main thing is to take into account the parameters of your face and your own taste preferences. Then any changes will be in joy.
