Hair bronzing is a new, fashionable version of special creative coloring in the area of highlighting. This procedure refers to a kind of mixing of lightened and dark hair, which is applied to the entire length of the curls in small strands.
As a result, it gives out the natural appearance of dark hair and beautiful play of shades that are similar in tone. "Brond" can be seen in the photos below.
Pros and cons of technique
Hairdressers and stylists highlight the following advantages and features of the technique:
- After the bronzing procedure, the face visually rejuvenates, becomes more attractive and interesting.
- With bronde, the tips can be tinted much less often than with highlighting or conventional hair dyeing.
- It is easy enough to get your hair back to its previous color, as the roots will not be very conspicuous.
- Naturalness. A well-performed procedure will look more natural due to the harmonious combination of shades. Many color specialists claim that as a result of the smooth transition of shades, the hair visually looks more beautiful and thicker.
- Another important fact is minimal hair damage during bronzing, which is great for rare and thin curls, with split ends, but you need to consult a doctor;
- Brond perfectly disguises gray hair if there is a need for disguise.
But, it was not without its drawbacks, among which:
- This procedure is quite expensive, which can be a reason to refuse it.
- The second significant disadvantage is that booking takes a lot of time. Brunettes and girls with dark blond hair will have to wait about 4 hours for the end of the procedure, since it is much more difficult to choose the right shades for them than for light brown hair. (photo) Fair-haired girls only need to wait 2-3 hours.
- This procedure can not be tried by all the fair sex. For example, women with porous, curly hair simply will not see the desired result - deep play of color and glare.
Owners of short hair are not advised to do such a hairstyle. Since it will take a lot of time and will not be beautiful, like long-haired or girls with medium hair.
But if you manage to make a reservation for such a haircut, then the hairstyle will turn out to be romantic and mysterious.
Does it affect hair health?
When bronzing hair, gentle substances are used to keep the hair healthy. But if the curls are brittle and split, then bronding can aggravate the situation.
Stylists are highly discouraged from dyeing such hair, as complications are possible. For example, hair loss.
Also discouraged if the strands were dyed earlier. The minimum period from the first to the second staining should be two monthsotherwise the hair will become weak and porous.
Who is booking and who is not
The technique is most suitable for girls with light or blond hair, since for these types of hair you need to choose colors that are several shades darker or lighter (depending on the natural color), which is a priori easier.
For black hair, this process will be longer and more problematic, since you will have to select shades. Dark strands, such as chestnut, are better in this regard. Dark blond, chocolate and coffee tones are suitable for them, as can be seen in the photo (before and after).
For women with straight or slightly wavy, soft hair, this procedure is perfect, as it will give them a natural look.On curly curls, shine will not be visible, transitions and games of color will be invisible, they should choose another method of staining.
This coloring is suitable for girls with medium or long hair. Booking specialists recommend women with short hair not to do this procedure, as it is very difficult and the effect will not be successful: it will turn out to be something between coloring and highlighting.
But sometimes the result is even better than other types of hair: the hairstyle turns out to be interesting, magical and enchanting.

The price in salons will depend on the length, color and type of hair:
- For hot brunettes with short hair, it will cost about 5000 rubles, since the procedure will take a long time and will be difficult. But if the curls are also curly, then it will cost 500 rub. expensive.
- For owners of long curly hair, the price will be about the same.
- Fair-haired beauties with a medium-length haircut will cost about 3500 rub. For red-haired women, the price will be the same.
The final price will depend on the master who will do the work and the brand of paint.
Types of bronzing for light brown hair
Classic
A characteristic feature of this coloration is its closeness to color, which ultimately gives a natural effect of volumetric transfusion of natural tones with a fairly moderate inclusion of light nuances.
The hairdresser selects coloring and toning shades that are close to each other in tone. Classic bronde is a technology of modern highlighting and layer-by-layer coloring.
Small curls are colored in an artistic, chaotic mess, creating a sunny and soft sheen.
Light blond, beige-brown, chocolate, golden and copper-blond shades are perfect for bronzing light brown strands.
Zonal
The essence of this dyeing technique is that lighter tones are used on the upper perimeter of the hair, and the lower part is dyed in one color, most often in chocolate, chestnut, coffee or dark blond.
As a result, two completely different colors merge together for a stunning result. This bronde is often considered to complement the depth of shade to match the lower perimeter of the hair.
Ombre or Degrade technique
Bronzing hair with the Ombre Hair Color technique is a uniform stretching of the color along the entire perimeter of the curls and darkening the bangs in the natural hair color. For this, colors such as coffee, light brown, chocolate and chestnut are often used.
The result is a mysterious transfusion of glare and a stylish effect of regrown strands, such a shade is clearly visible in the photo. Hairdressers recommend using effects that are similar in tone, as this gives the hair thickness and shine.
Bronzing light brown hair
For women with light brown hair, a multicolored relatively light bronde is suitable, which well emphasizes facial features. The harmonious combination of some light strands of similar tone will visually make the hair thicker and more voluminous, more shiny and beautiful.
Light shades such as warm gold, honey and wheat are suitable for fair-haired women. A magnificent transfusion of shades is given by such tones as milky coffee and light blond.
Cool shades such as linen, pearl beige and pearl give the hair a noble look.
SUPER NATURE effect
This type of bronzing suits light brown hair more than others, since it has no color drops, which is why it gives the strands the most natural effect.

This is done by applying paint with very thin "strokes", which creates the illusion of a natural shade.

Home technique
1.Recovery
To restore hair for bronzing, you need to apply special regenerating masks based on keratin on them, use balms and hair scrubs.
Hairdressers believe that if you perform these procedures a week before booking, the color will last a long time and the damage to the hair will be much less than with bronde without these masks.
2.Preparing the hair
In order to end up with the desired color, you need to carefully prepare your own hair for bronzing. First you need to use moisturizers. Next, you need to trim the ends so that the paint stays tight and does not fade at the ends of the curls.
3.Bronding
One of the easiest and most affordable methods of bronde is considered to be a combination of open highlighting and coloring techniques.
First you need to decide whether to change the natural hair color or not. If so, then complete coloring of the curls in the desired shade should be carried out. Next, it is important to decide what type of bronzing is suitable for this type of hair.
After complete coloring of the strands, you need to divide the hair into several parts: parietal, two occipital, frontal and two temporal. And start highlighting from the back of the head with two colors, matched to the tone of the strands.
Stylists recommend not choosing a tone four or three darker / lighter than natural, as the result will be harsh and unnatural. When painting, it is important to achieve a toned stretch as shown in the photo.
It turns out as follows: you need to take the darkest tone of the selected and apply to the curls, leaving at the very end 6-7 cm for a light tone. In this case, 3-4 cm should be retreated from the roots.
After the lateral and parietal parts are painted out, but it is important to leave some strands intact... It is advisable to wrap the strands in foil, you can use a hook or knitting needle so that the paint does not stain the rest of the strands.
In order to emphasize the oval of the face, you can lighten some of the curls around the face, thereby giving the effect of burnt strands.
Then it is immediately important to start "peating" - open highlighting. More precisely, you need to start randomly "drawing" on unpainted curls that were left untouched earlier. This will give the hair a natural and lively look.
After this action, to complete it, you need to repeat the highlighting, which was performed at the very beginning, so that there are no sharp changes in shades. It is necessary to wash off the dye from the hair, taking into account the time indicated in the dye instructions.
How long the result will last. Photos before and after the procedure, a few months later
Since only the ends are dyed through this technology, the hair color can be renewed every two and a half to three months, depending on the length and type of hair.
To keep the shade for a long time, stylists advise you to wash your hair no more than once a day and use special masks and scrubs that are designed to maintain the color of dyed hair.
Also, so that the paint does not fade, it is advisable to biolaminate the curls so that the color on the strands remains for the maximum period.
After a few months, colors in some areas may fade, while in other areas the color will hold up perfectly. It may depend on the quality of the paint and the structural features of the hair itself.
Hair care after the procedure
First of all, immediately after the bronzing process, stylists recommend washing your hair with shampoo, and then with a balm with a special note: "for colored hair." Such products help to preserve the color, since they do not eat into the structure of the paint and do not wash it out.
Such shampoos and balms help to renew the shade in which the strands were painted. Undoubtedly, there are a lot of cosmetic hair care products, so you should consult with a stylist and choose the appropriate option.
It is important to massage your scalp every day. This should be done in a circular motion with your fingers. In winter, you need to hide your hair under a jacket, since in the cold they are more vulnerable and the paint will wash off faster.
Special sprays will help protect curls from cold air and maintain their structure, protecting them from loss. It is also important not to blow dry your hair.
