Hair highlights are sections of hair lightened or coloured differently to the base colour to create dimension and contrast. Traditional highlights use foils for precise, uniform results, while techniques like balayage create a more natural, blended look.

Your highlights may start to dull after a couple of weeks, and by 4 weeks, you’ll probably begin to see your roots. To help maintain the shine and keep your hair in optimal condition, it’s recommended that you wash your it less frequently (1-3 times a week is enough); avoid products containing silicone, ammonia, and sulphates which dry and even break your hair; and protect your hair with a pre-wash treatment designed for colored hair. It’s a good idea to use a deeply nourishing hair conditioner, too, and avoid using heated styling products.

Highlights lighten sections for brightness and dimension. Lowlights add darker tones for depth. Balayage is a freehand painting technique that creates sun-kissed, blended colour with softer regrowth. Many stylists combine all three for a multi-dimensional result.

Try choosing highlights that complement your eye color and complexion. If you have blue eyes and fair skin, for example, cool platinum is a good match; if you have a warm complexion with hazel, grey, or green eyes, caramel and honey blondes look great; and if you have olive or dark skin with dark brown or vivid green eyes, coffee brown highlights or coppery red can add real intensity. If in doubt, ask your colorist – their experience will be invaluable in helping you decide.
