Natural Looking Highlights For Hair

Lowlights: The opposite of highlights, lowlights use darker colors
to break up over-highlighted hair or to make select strands a
bit darker. Lowlights also keep brown hair from looking faded
and dull.

Chunking: If you’re looking for bold highlights, chunking is the
way to go. Your stylist will randomly section out large chunks of hair
and apply color or bleach to them.

Painting: Painting uses a brush or comb to literally paint bleach
onto the hair. This helps achieve a natural look, “but because the
bleach isn’t encapsulated in plastic or foil, a larger amount is required,
which can burn the hair.

Baliage: Baliage is a kind of freeform painting that results in a look that is
more dimensional and multitonal,” In most cases, the painted pieces
are lightly wrapped in plastic wrap to prevent the color from seeping.

Tipping: This highlighting technique lightens just the tips of the hair, as
opposed to the entire strand. It is best on straight or slightly wavy hair.

Foiling: Foiling involves placing the hair in sheets of professional-grade tinfoil
to prevent bleach from mixing with the rest of your hair. It keeps strands
separated so color doesn’t leak.
