Salon Highlights, Hair Color and How to Choose Between These Two

The benefits of hair color and highlights are endless. Color and highlighting define, add dimension, and create beautiful movement to otherwise dull or lifeless looking hair. Today, and with all the new discoveries in hair care and color, beauty professionals are becoming more and more creative in color and highlighting applications. While color and highlighting do require more frequent salon visits and care, they can add pizazz and personality, and even help boost self esteem. Many clients often say they feel like a completely different person with color or highlights. Both color and highlighting have many wonderful benefits. Some of these include:

Dimensional results. By applying 2 or more colors to the hair, stylists can often achieve better than natural looking results and provide greater levels of creativity in the overall hair color application.

Subtle results. Not everyone wants to see all over color. Many people prefer subtle hints of color that are peppered into their own natural color for softer and more subtle results. This also gives the salon professional more control in how much color is actually applied, and where.

Greater brilliance and shine. Color is often reflective, and fortified with nourishing and shine agents that give hair brilliant and healthy looking results.

A more youthful appearance. While this isn't a priority for everyone, color can help create a youthful glow and feel to the hair, complexion, and even one's personality.

I encourage all clients to explore the benefits of color, highlighting, and dimensional techniques. Discuss these with your salon professional to see which options may be right for you.

Enjoy,
