Simply put, highlights are strands of hair that are lifted to be a few shades lighter than the base. They brighten up locks, whether you go for only one level of lift or a more contrasting effect. Highlights work through any base colour, from blonde shades to bold reds and even dark brunettes, adding light-boosting luminosity that flatters everyone. Highlights have a classical way. stylists have been weaving heads for a very long time and there is a reason to that.
The foils can create an extra lift to the hair. The lightening product needs some heat to lift better, and the foil gives it just that. That means that even for clients having a natural base that is very dark, we can reach exceptionally light blondes.
The application of the foil allows an even lift throughout the hair as well as the possibility to reach the roots. This is also why clients with highlights have a fuller all over blonde that looks like the hair grows out already blonde.
The weaves can be adjusted to the client’s hair. We can create some dimension by adjusting the weaves when creating the highlights. We now have the baby lights that are part of the highlights family however those created by smaller weaves will have a softer overall result.
The lightness of the colour allows more freedom to choose the toner. Many colours such as baby pink, baby blue, icy, pearl or vanilla to name a few will need a base almost white to sit perfectly on. If the colour stays orange or yellow, it will be impossible to proceed with those. Highlights are then the perfect technique to have here.
Highlights can also be multi-tonal! If you feel that you are too blonde, ask us to break up the colour by adding different tones to it. We can use some darker colours or just changing the tone around the same palette. Using a high lift colour can also be a solution for those who like gentle dimensions.
