Hair sweeping can be done on a natural or already colored basis.

"If the hair is sensitized by successive colorations or discolorations, it will be necessary to proceed gradually and gently.The reflections of your hair must take into account the complexion, the color of the eyes and the eyebrows", comments David Martin, at Massato .

• If you have dark brown hair, like Penélope Cruz

Our dark, uniform hair tends to look bad. We must bring him some light. We opt for a color with copper or hazel glints, but especially not clearer.

• If you have light brown hair , like Sophie Marceau

Our slightly standard hair shade turns off the look. It is necessary to "debanalize" the hair color by illuminating it with caramel spots more or less clear and golden.

• If we're red , like Audrey Marnay

To give pep and flamboyance to our red hair, we highlight our diaphanous complexion. Only a few subtly dispersed Venetian nuances are allowed.

• If you have dark blond hair , like Keira Knightley

Our hair color a little sad can give us bad looks. It is illuminated with sunny reflections style "back from vacation" by opting for a sweep of hair with honey shades, more or less clear and golden.

• If you're blonde, like Nicole Richie

The shade of blond is to be determined according to our personality and the intensity of our base blonde. If we want to find our blond hair "baby", soften the face and look with golden blonde.

A scan can not be improvised. Here's what to avoid for a nice result:

• A hair sweep on a short haircut
  This hairdressing technique requires a certain length. On the court, we opt for a hair color strong enough and not uniform for more personality.

• Too much hair on a dark hair base
  The result will not be "natural". The goal is to have a color of locks that blends into the base color.

• Too many different shades
  The success of a hair sweep depends on its subtlety. You can mix up to three shades, but always fade out so that you can not spot them.

• Striped locks
  The hairstyle way keys of piano or zebra inspiration? No thanks ! We want a natural result, not 90s inspiration wicks.

• Hair scans too close together
  The rhythm: two or three times a year, avoiding the holidays, which remove the shades on the hair and risk turning our color green!

Hair care is essential to have a beautiful material after a coloring or a hair sweeping, but also to maintain the intensity of the color and its reflections.

" Hair sweeping ," continues David Martin, "involves a fading process that, even if it is done smoothly, increases the sensitivity and porosity of the hair. And the more one clarifies, the more it is true. "

To preserve the subtlety of the nuance and the melted effect obtained, we use a shampoo colored hair / méchés , whose formula softens the action of the limestone and preserves the intensity of the color by preventing the pigments from spinning in the water. For the blonde scans, you can also use a shampoo for gray hair (it is recognized by its purple color), once a week. This will neutralize the yellow and orange highlights.

And we take care of its hair fiber by applying a nutritious mask once a week.
