Understanding the Different Techniques
When it comes to coloring hair, there are various techniques to choose from. Each technique offers a unique way to add depth and dimension to your locks. Let’s explore some of the most popular techniques:
Highlights
Highlights are small sections of hair that have been lightened to contrast with your natural color. They are often placed around the crown of the head or to frame the face, creating a complimentary sun-kissed look. Highlights can be customized to suit any hairstyle, length, shade, or preference, adding dimension and enhancing any base color.
Babylights
If you’re looking for a low-maintenance, natural-looking color that grows out gracefully, babylights might be the perfect choice for you. This technique involves weaving very fine strands of hair into foils and applying a lightener to create subtle, delicate highlights. Babylights create a seamless blend of shades and require fewer touch-ups, making them ideal for those who prefer a more effortless look.
Diplights
Diplights are a blend of traditional highlights and babylights, creating a dimensional, graduated effect. Babylights are applied to the root of the hair, while highlights are blended from the mid-lengths to the ends. This technique adds depth and dimension to your hair, giving it a natural and multi-dimensional appearance.
Lowlights
Lowlights, as the name suggests, are the reverse of highlights. Instead of lightening the hair, lowlights involve coloring the hair darker to complement the natural shade and add richness and depth. Lowlights are perfect for those who want to enhance their hair’s natural color and create a more vibrant and dynamic look.
Ombre
Ombre is a popular coloring technique that creates a transition from darker roots to lighter ends. This technique involves dyeing the hair with a lightener, typically applied to the ends and blended upwards to create a gradient effect. Ombre adds a touch of drama and creates a stunning contrast between the roots and the ends of the hair.
Balayage
Balayage is a hand-painting technique that creates a natural-looking alternative to ombre. This technique allows for a seamless grow-out and can be customized to the individual’s desired appearance. Balayage gives the hair a sun-kissed, beachy look and adds beautiful highlights throughout the hair.
