Keep in mind it would involve the same process as putting red highlights in your hair, usually requiring the hair to be pre lightened and then toned or re colored with a blue vivid color. Don’t automatically think Kelly Clarkson streaks when we say highlights and run for the hills towards a balayage. The process entails having your pieces lightened, usually in foils, after this, the hair will be washed and dried. Those blonde pieces will then have to be re foiled and covered with a bright vivid shade. Colors like silver and bright vivid colors do often require multiple sessions and visits to the salon. Though the babylights can give you a few extra weeks between appointments, they usually do come at a slightly higher price tag than a traditionally weaved highlight.

This 2-step process can be a little more expensive than just adding peekaboo’s using traditional hair color. Traditionally these kinds of highlights would be done around the perimeter of your face to brighten your look a bit.

Because curly hair does tend to be dryer by nature a curly girl should be cautious to not over process their hair.By adding both highlights and lowlights to her hair she can add a lot of variation and dimension to her once boring light brown hair. Balayage vs Highlights For example, maybe you have a heavy side bang and the stylist will choose to put a few foils in your fringe area to add some pizazz to the front of your hair. Another important factor to consider when choosing reading guide strips is their size and shape. Reading guide strips come in a range of sizes and shapes, from narrow, elongated strips to wide, rectangular bars. The size and shape of the reading guide strip you choose should depend on the size and layout of the text in the book you will be reading. For example, if the text in the book is small and closely spaced, a narrow, elongated strip may be more effective at helping you focus on a specific line of text. On the other hand, if the text in the book is large and widely spaced, a wider, rectangular bar may be more effective. Translucency and Color

Do be aware that base color and highlights will come at a slightly higher price tag as you are paying for two different application techniques in addition to extra color. But can my hair be permed after I highlight it with lightener or color? Another important factor to consider when choosing reading guide strips is their adjustability. Some reading guide strips are fixed in size and shape, while others can be adjusted to fit the size and layout of the text in the book. Adjustable reading guide strips are generally more versatile and can be used with a wider range of books. However, they may be more expensive than fixed reading guide strips.

Types of Highlights

Highlights like this are great for the client who is not ready to commit to keeping up with their outgrowth, or even for kids who want a fun color for summer break. But, in my 15+ years of doing hair I have learned we cannot assume and this is not always the case. On many occasions I have had clients ask me for “highlights, or low lights or whatever they are called”. Some people choose a partial highlight because they like having the solid color pop through underneath because it can give the hair some depth. Especially if the hair is finer. While curly hair looks beautiful when it is highlighted, curly hair highlights should come with a slight caution label. Well, they are a great product . . . for the first couple of weeks. Then they began disappearing (but no one took them – you know how that goes – no one ever admits to taking anything), and they got bent up and wrinkled, and the highlighted plastic comes out, etc. My students literally beat them up.

If you choose a bright “ fun” color for your peekaboo highlights do be aware that the hair will usually have to be pre lightened before a bright color can be applied. We hair stylists often think our clients understand all of our fancy terms and hairstylist language. While this option will not get you super light blonde highlights it can add some brightness in a safer way. Maybe you just got a new job, or broke up with your significant other, or maybe you have a first date coming up with someone you have had your eye on.By adding some silver baby lights you are able to transition your years of color to your natural color. If your hair is natural and has never been colored, you do have the option of using color instead of lightener to add some highlights.
