How to Choose Highlights That Complement Your Coloring?
Hair Highlights offer hair a sun-kissed glow and shimmery radiance. Vary the shade of blond depending on your skin color and the effect you'd like to achieve.
Steps:
- Consider your natural hair color and the contrast you desire. All blondes, as well as light to medium brunettes, can highlight their hair. Results will vary depending on your original hair color and the formula you choose.
- Complement cool skin tones with shades of ash or beige. Enhance warm skin tones with golden, caramel and straw hues.
- Choose a treatment that gives you the intensity you're after: subtle or dramatic. Select a process that suits the effort you wish to extend. Your options include combing the solution through your hair, pulling select strands through a hair cap and actually painting the color on select strands.
- Seek the advice of a professional colorist, your stylist or a company representative from a well-known company specializing in at-home coloring.
- Always follow directions exactly to avoid any color mishaps.
Tips:
Enhance dark brown, red and auburn hair by rinsing with a hair color kit that matches your base color and adds varying shades of caramel, copper, cinnamon or mahogany.
Deep-condition your hair a few days prior to your color treatment. Just before your process, wash your hair with a clarifying shampoo or a mix of vinegar and baking soda. The former will strengthen your hair, while the latter will remove any buildup or deposits.
Warnings:
- Pregnant? Get your doctor's OK before proceeding with any hair color treatment.
- If you have applied henna to your hair in the last year, remember that you cannot perm it or use a chemical color over it.
- Avoid chlorine and salt water for a few days after coloring your hair, as contact may cause adverse reactions to your new color.
