Hair highlights are a great way to change up your look without doing the big chop. Whether you want subtle lowlights or bold ombre, there is a type of hair highlight for everyone. But what are they? We break down the different types of hair highlights and how best to use them: <\/p>\n
- \n
- Balayage:<\/b> A freehand painting technique allows for long-lasting dimensional color on lengths and face-framing pieces by strategically placing color in sections.<\/li>\n
- Ombre:<\/b> This gradual effect starts with dark at the roots fading into lighter hues near the ends, giving off an illusion of bright colors. <\/li>\n
- Root Touch Up:<\/b> When your natural root grows out enough to show through, it’s time for touch-ups.<\/li>\n
- Frosted highlights<\/b> look best if they’re blended into darker hair and applied sparingly. They’re softer than other types of highlights, making them great for someone who doesn’t like too.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

- Avoid using too much heat on your hair:<\/b> Try straightening with a flat iron instead of using hot tools like curling irons or blow dryers as they can burn off excess moisture from the strands.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
