Hair Styling -Highlighting, Lowlighting, and their Methods

Article Category: Shopping

Author Name: chickie maxwell

Did you know that hair styling has been around as far back as the ancient civilizations? True! People, particularly women, have always used various substances from nature to make their hair look and feel better. As technology evolved though, there are now countless products that can be used to control the hair including the changing of its color. In this article, let's specifically talk about highlighting and lowlighting - the most popular processes in styling the hair among people of all ages.

Highlighting is changing the color of the small sections of your hair by using a dye that is lighter than your natural hair color. This procedure is particularly hip during the summer months as it makes the hair glow beautifully albeit the heat. Meanwhile, lowlighting, is just the reverse of highlighting. It is adding darker tones to some portions of your hair. People who wish to have some change but do not really want the change to be vivid typically opt for this simple way of hair styling.

Highlighting or lowlighting may be done in four techniques: foil, bailage (hair painting), frosting, and chunking.

Foil

Foil highlighting and lowlighting uses foil packets to color the hair. They offer more control over the portions you wish to color and provide deep contrast to your entire hair style. People like using foils for hair styling because they are very easy to maintain and much less costly than having a full color. If you are after a brighter look, you should opt to place the foils throughout your hair.

Bailage

Bailage is actually the term used to paint on clean hair. It started in Europe, wherein a person uses a brush to apply the dye liberally on the hair without the use of foil packets. To keep the color from blending onto the other parts of the hair you don't wish to highlight or lowlight, what you can do is use some plastic wrap to separate them.

Frosting

This method was trendy in the past especially among men. This was the process of lightening or bleaching the tips of the hair only. This kind of treatment usually leaves the hair tips looking very light blonde or even white.

Chunking

Chunking is the way to go when you want the change in your hair to be noticeable , if not outstanding. In this method, your hair is highlighted (or lowlighted) in thick and noticeable color bands.

Whichever hair styling technique you go for, it is crucial that you wait for at least 24 hours before shampooing your newly colored hair. Otherwise, the dye might not lock-in enough . You should also choose a shampoo and conditioner especially formulated for color-treated hair. This way, you can preserve the new color as long as possible.
