·         Home versus Salon Hair color and Highlights- over-the-counter hair coloring kits are available in the market for those who are comfortable in doing make overs themselves. Don’t experiment if you’ve never done it successfully. There is a real science to mixing colors and dyes to get a certain shade and you might end up with purple hair if you’re too impulsive. A strand test or a head allergy test should be the first step before applying hair color or highlights. There will be lesser problems with salon treated hair since salons are equipped with the right tools in applying hair color and highlights such as foils, irons, blow dryers, heaters, etc.

·         Use a single lighter shade to maintain your natural look. Highlights are only accents to your hair in order to bring out curls or layers as well as emphasize certain features of your face. The most common tool in highlights is the foil. Foils keep the chemicals in and intact with the hair for best results. However, when the hair is exposed to the chemical for a long period, the hair strands becomes dry and frizzy; so it is best to maintain the natural shade of your hair.

·         Multi-shading- applying two or more shades is a good idea when you are up to special event. There are temporary hair color products that can be washed off after use. These preparations can be multi-purpose as they are used as highlights too. But if you want permanent hair color and highlights, let your favorite salon take care of it to ensure safe and accurate results.
