| Should
You Get Color or Highlights?
Many
people would like to add some pizzazz to their hairstyle
with a professional hair coloring service but don’t know
which service would be best for them. In addition, who could
fault them? I mean, with so many coloring services available,
it does get very confusing when it comes to deciding which
color technique to choose.
Two
of the most popular color services in the salon are overall
color and highlights. Both can be the perfect option for
livening up your locks and adding interest to your style.
However, how do you decide which one to choose? You might
even want to do both. So, how do you know what’s right for
your hair and individual style? Here are a few pointers.
- Choosing
overall color if any of the following describes your hair.
- You
have a funky textured style and you want to add some depth.
- Your
hair is extremely short. You have more than 30% gray.
- You
have dark skin and brows. You look better in warm, vibrant
colors such as red.
- Your
cut is already trendy enough and you do not want to overdo
it.
Choosing
highlights would a good choice if you fit into any of the
following scenarios:
- Your
hairstyle is plain with no layers or other points of interest.
- You
have dirty blonde or light brown hair.
- You
have a little bit of gray that you would like to blend
away.
- If
you can’t commit to getting your roots touched up faithfully.
- If
you look great in cool colors such as blues and greens.
- If
your style needs a little interest around the front and
a few chunky highlights would do the trick.
- If
you’re afraid of a big change.
Choosing both highlights and color if any of the following
fit you best.
- You
have a lot of gray but would still like the effect that
only highlights can obtain.
- You
want to add red or warmth and still have some chunks of
lighter color around the front.
- You
are trying to correct or change another hair coloring
application before you get highlights.
- If
your hair has become too light due to over processing
and sun damage or was lightened too much during your last
color process.
There are many other reasons why people choose the hair
coloring services that they do, and those reasons can be
as varied as the people themselves. So, if you have a color
idea, do not be afraid to talk to your stylist about it.
Also, do not hesitate to ask for advice if you have no idea
what you want but know you want a change. By working together,
you and your stylist can find the perfect color combination
to give you your best look yet.
