HIGHLIGHT HAIR HOW TO

3 techniques how to use highlights in gray hairĪnother point to consider when choosing which highlights to use for your hair is the type of technique that will give you the look you want. Not ready to say goodbye to your fiery mane yet? If you only have a few gray hairs, you can treat them with the Hair Glazing method so that they don’t stand out so much from your natural hair color. If you’re a redhead, it’s a good idea to use a range of lowlights and highlights with chocolate brown and golden blonde tones.

And when you add lightening blonde highlights to your brown hair, you will bring out the shades of gray that you already have. Espresso and caramel brown, for example, give hair an exciting depth. If you’re a natural brunette and want to spice up gray hair with highlights, consider playing with dark lowlights. These natural-looking, cool shades of ash harmonize wonderfully with cool, silvery grays. If you’re a natural blonde, you can spice up your graying blonde mane with a mix of different hues – from pearly to honey blonde. Not sure where to start? In the following we present you the best ideas for every natural hair color. Also, as with most highlight and lowlight techniques, consider your natural hair color when deciding which color of highlights would look best. One thing to keep in mind before asking your hairdresser for highlights is that they must first bleach your hair and then recolor it. Since highlighting and lowlightening requires a certain amount of skill, it is best to leave this task to a professional colorist.
