Getting to the Roots: Highlights on Hair


Look young and fresh this summer with a stunning hair do. Express and emphasize your beauty with creative and perfect highlights. Highlights add dimension to hair and they help highlight facial features depending on how they are applied.

Benefits of highlights:

Highlights provide perfect contrast for color bases. Going to a hair color salon is a good idea since they are able to make and mix colors with accordance to your hair style and taste.

Highlights are one way of brightening skin tones and widening eyes when applied to the bangs, making your skin look more radiant and emphasizes your eye color.

The shape of your hair is best emphasized with contrasting colors. But make sure to consult a hair color salon before choosing a color panel.

Tips for beautiful highlights:

Highlights appear very natural when spread evenly. Professional hair salons are capable of giving a good result while playing with your hair color. They are well- trained to mix and match colors that contrast and that compliment your hair shape and style. So here are some tips you should consider when doing highlights at home.

Hair style- Highlights should depend whether you have curly, wavy and straight hair. Curls are best done with brushes of contrasting shades with a dark and strong base. Having a straight hair is easier to manage since you can play with the highlights whether creating a solid dark base and going lighter as it ascends or making a stripy look. 

Color patterns- 2012 is all about going back to the basics. Outrageous hair color is no longer in trend. There is a comeback of more subtle contrasts on hair color and highlights vs. your dominant color are just 2 to 3 shades in difference.

Volume- A method called chinking is a good start since hair salons usually use only three colors or shades. The other benefit of this is to avoid over bleaching, which may result to dryness and dullness.
        
Highlights fade away due to some factors. So another advice is for you to undergo retouch. Also, for treated hair, inform your favorite hair salon to avoid contrast of chemicals, which may result to damage.  Entrust your hair to the experts of your favorite hair color salon in Tampa to have the best results.
