A sweep allows to illuminate the hair with subtlety, or even to redraw the contours of the face, playing with the light at strategic points.

If one knows particularly well the blond sweep or even the Californian sweep, one thinks less about it when one has the chestnut hair. However, a sweep on chestnut hair allows us to give an end-of-summer look all the year and allows to revitalize a color a little extinct.

As Sébastien Chicot, director of the Biguine Paris training, explains, on chestnut to brown hair, we must adopt nuances that clarify without too much slicing.

"We can go up to two tones maximum lighter otherwise it is the lack of assured taste". Which shades to choose? You can go from light copper to dark blond. "

For a sweeping on chestnut hair, one tries to find a shade that flatters the complexion.

For this, "we must approach the hottest shade in the reflection of the eyebrow in order to be in harmony with the face and complexion," explained Sébastien Chicot.

To create contrast, there are two techniques on a chestnut base.

Either the hair is discolored slightly - in some places (so-called "sweeping" or "curling") and then a patina is applied to obtain the desired shade. Either a product is used which discolours and re-colors in a single application.

With a shampoo - and generally a brushing - it takes a little over a hundred euros. The benefit is generally quite long, but as for the traditional scanning, this technique has the advantage of being little binding side retouching.

If one does not want to repeat the color, one simply leaves the illuminated wicks to be repelled and one obtains a pretty melted.

To maintain her sweep on chestnut hair, we have a shampoo and a care adapted for the colored hair, the idea being to preserve the color, to protect it and to take care of the hair.
