What is it?
Until now we knew the make up contouring.
The makeup technique that creates shadows and highlights the features of your face.
With the help of darker shades you can cover imperfections and create shadows.
On the contrary, with light shades you emphasize certain parts of your face.
How can we transfer these effects to the hair?
But of course with the most trendy color technique called hair contouring!
How is it done?
Hair contouring has to do with the hair that is on the contour of the face.
In particular, the hair colorist gives depth and light to specific areas.
It plays with light and shadow to highlight the features of the face.
She uses free hand technique and blocks in foil.
Its purpose is to balance the shape of the face so that it appears to be the perfect oval.
Undoubtedly, it creates an optical illusion that softens harsh features and accentuates the beautiful elements of the face. But, let’s look at some face shapes and how can we intervene?
Round face
Our goal is, as we said in the hair contouring technique, to make it look like an oval shape.
Thus, we lighten the hair on the top and the points at the ends of the hair.
At the same time, we create depth on the sides to make the face look longer and thinner.
Heart or triangular face shape
To reduce the width of the forehead in hair contouring, we will use darker tones on the top and the fringe.
Instead, we will lighten the hair that is at jaw level.
The ombre technique is probably the ideal technique for these faces!
Long face shape
Our aim is to round this face.
For this reason, we give the roots depth and lighten from the height of the ears to the tips.
Indeed, this way the face looks fuller and we achieve our goal!
Prosopometry and colorimetry in the service of hair contouring!
The hair colorist should take into account the color of your skin and the shape of your face.
It will blend the various shades and position the accents to bring out the best in you!
