Hair Highlights

Hair Highlights - Keeping those tresses attractive can be a challenge. Hair highlighting is a simple way to add beauty to natural hair and have a better hair raising experience. Hair highlights emphasizes the focal point of a haircut. They give a funky and sophisticated look, adding depth and dimension to hair.
Hair highlighting is different from hair coloring. Hair coloring defines coloring of the entire hair and highlighting defines coloring only a few strands of hair. Hair highlights are often restricted to bright shades with a metallic tint.
Hair highlighting is classified into :

  • Foil highlighting - foil is used to separate and wrap strands of hair so the color is not mixed with other strands.
  • Hair painting - a brush or comb is used to paint a color.
  • Chunking - way of coloring different sizes chunks of hair.
  • Low-lighting - method of applying lighter shades.
One can do hair highlights at home or under guidance of a professional stylist at a salon. Celebrities often become role models. One can by a hair highlighting kit which also helps in producing hot highlight.

Highlighting is a variation or modification of ages old hairstyles. The only difference is in taking extra care. Earlier people used natural hair highlights but now the trend has shifted to the use of chemicals for highlighting. These chemicals sometimes tend to damage hair, on prolonged exposure to sun light. It may become difficult to regain the original texture of hair.
Be cautious and careful when you decide the frequency you go for a hair highlight.
