Best Hair Colouring Highlights near me in Cementon, Allentown

Yes, you can buy over-the-counter highlighting kits to color your hair at home. But, choose carefully: avoid products containing sulphates and silicone, and be aware that the shades shown on the packet may not be the tones you end up with. For best results, we suggest booking into a salon with a professional colorist.

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.

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.

The lifespan of your highlights will vary according to the type of highlights you get, how well you take care of them, and your hair’s natural color. Treat them right and they’ll last 6-8 weeks.

Highlights typically range from $60 to $250 depending on coverage. Fresha shows upfront pricing before you book.

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.
