What is the 3d streak technique?
The method consists of using light, medium and dark tones in the locks, bringing a three-dimensional effect (as mentioned above) giving the impression of thicker hair, or thinner if desired. The strands have a kind of “gradient” originating from the root with interspersed colors to the ends in frayed parts of the strands.
They bring a bolder and more modern look, having the power to make the face more elongated or smaller. The technique excels in layered cut hair. It can be done vertically, horizontally or transversally, everything will depend on what effect you want to bring to the wires.
They can be used by people of any hair type or skin color, because the tones of the technique will vary from person to person. Forget about touch-ups, they won't be needed for a long time, as the dye is not applied to the root.
How to choose the colors of the 3d highlights?
When choosing the tones for your hair, you should pay attention to which ones best suit you and your hair color. For brunettes and blacks, for example, shades of brown and honey are recommended. In black hair, the ideal is bluish or purple tones. For blondes, the honey and white tones will bring an excellent effect to the hair, brightening them and bringing liveliness to the skin tone. People with red hair can invest in shades of copper.
How to make ?
First you will need to choose the right colors for the 3d highlights. The 3 shades must be chosen with care, as they will form a slight gradient along the threads. We recommend that you look for a trusted professional to perform the procedure, but you can do it at home if you prefer.
This process must be broken down into steps and done carefully. First of all, divide the hair from ear to ear and then the front part into 3 parts. Do the same for the other party. Prepare the paints to start the application.
Separate the strands already divided into very thin strands and make a “seam” with the help of the comb handle. Apply the paint interspersing the colors in the strands, trying to blend one tone into the other so that there are no marks.
On the sides of the head, both on the front and on the lower sides, make the same separation of strands, but applying the dye diagonally. In the rest, apply in the normal way. When finished, wrap the lock in the aluminum foil so that it covers it completely.
After the action time (depending on the color you are looking for), rinse your hair until all the product is removed and remove excess water. Apply a paint in the natural color of the strands to blend the root. Remove after the time requested on the package.
Wash the locks with shampoo and apply a moisturizing mask of your choice and wait for the action. Then rinse and use conditioner as usual. If using thermal stylers after the process, use a thermal protector so as not to damage the wires.
Caring for 3d locks

Keep up frequent grooming and your hair will remain beautiful.
