Lowlights vs Highlights: Which Ones Are Right For You?
Highlights or lowlights are perfect if you want to give your barnet a bit of a colour boost, they’re also a great way to start off dyeing your hair for the first time as you retain some of your natural shade too.
They allow you to have a sun-kissed effect with lighter strands running through your hair in a just-back-from-holiday hue.
They’re also great for lighting up the face; illuminating and injecting life into your hair’s colour can work wonders for your skin tone! It’s advised to have them done before the summer to prevent the colour changing after exposure to the sun.
