Lowlights

Though not as popular a trend as highlights, arguably due to Stylists not informing their clients of the process, lowlights can be just as useful in adding rich dimension and style to your hair. The opposite of highlights, lowlights are strands of hair that have been colored with darker colors than your overall color. If you like the look of highlights, but do not want such a dramatic look and prefer a more subtle transformation, lowlights will work seamlessly. Also, lowlights can be used to successfully break up over-highlighted hair. Like highlights, the thinner the strands are that are used, the more natural it will look, and the thicker they are, the more “funky” they will look. Once again, you and your Stylist can decide what is the best look for you.

Highlights are strands of hair that have been lightened 2 or more shades lighter than the rest of your hair and are used to accentuate different elements of your hair, such as shape and style, while also complementing your skin tone. They are meant to add dimension to your color, creating a more natural look. Likewise, highlights can also be used to create a more “funky” look, by processing thicker chunks of hair. You and your Stylist can decide which look is best for you. Before you speak to your Stylist, decide what aspect of your hair you want to improve most with your highlights. For example, if you feel your hair lacks volume and body, your Stylist can place the highlights strategically parallel to the ground to create the appearance of a fuller look. Also, if you feel your hair is looking dull and lacks shine, your Stylist can place highlights to create the look of lustrous, healthy hair. There is also the option of using a lowlight, which can be beneficial in adding to the effect you are going for.
