HAIR LOWLIGHTS
Lowlights help create a vibrant hair color that brings out your skin tone and eye color.
Hair Lowlights
Many clients, both male and female, consider the merits of a full color service versus highlights when they think about coloring their hair. However, many bypass the option of lowlights, which is a shame as this simple yet effective technique can result in a spectacular end result. Lowlighting hair works in much the same way as highlighting does, except that the color that is applied is darker than the hair’s natural (or current) color rather than lighter. The process can be used to achieve fantastic impact with both long and short hair. Lowlighting is a partial coloring technique, so only sections of the hair will be colored. The particular quantity of lowlights should be discussed during an individualized consultation with your professional hair color specialist.
Lowlights vs Highlights: Which Ones Are Right For You?
Lowlights and highlights are essentially partial colouring techniques, adding a different shade to certain strands of hair so your barnet ends up having depth, texture and various complementary hues.
The technique used differs from block colour hair dyeing and involves sectioning off the hair to target the parts you want transformed. This way you can have a multi-hued more natural looking finish.
Celebs like Jennifer Aniston and Jennifer Lawrence are great ambassadors for highlights and lowlights as their hair is always full of light and dark accents which adds body, movement and interest to their lush locks.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Hair Lowlights?
Anyone who has a great natural base color is a good candidate for lowlights.
Blondes and women with light brown hair are excellent candidates. If your hair is naturally super black, then lowlights would not work for you because the chances of finding a darker color are unlikely.
