Hightlight question....?

Question

I'd like to get highlights, but I don't want the thick 1/4 inch streaks. I want very, very tiny highlights (almost like individual strands) in different colors to add some depth to my hair. Is there a certain name for this so I can describe to my stylist what I want? Thanks!

Answer 1

Tell your stylist that you want super fine panels. Like 1/16th of an inch. That way she or he will visualize what you are talking about. Also tell your stylist that you want highlights two or three shades lighter and lowlights two shades darker than your natural color level. Make sure that your base color is your natural color level. I hope this helps!

Answer 2

I'm not sure if there is a name to the highlighting that u r talking about, but it sounds as if u want your hair stylist to use a frosting cap. That will enable them to do indivudal colors. Good luck.

Answer 3

just tell her that u want THIN SLICED highlights and lowlights.
tell her u want back to back foils. what that means is that you whole head will be foiled, and u can pick like 2 colors, like a brown and maybe like a dark alburn color and then she will put some of the blonde in for the highlights. lowlights are colors not blonde streaks.....the back to back folis are pretty expensive, so i would just recommend that u just do that on the top part of your head. it is totally up to u and this will give you more of a dimensional look.

Answer 4

Your stylist can pull your hair through a frosting cap, and that gives a small more subtle look to your hair.
Just ask her, she should do a thorough consultation before you begin! try to find a picture of what you want..... a picture is worth a thousand words!

Answer 5

Just tell her what you mean and maybe get a picture of someone with these highlights.

Answer 6

Maybe lowlights and highlights or contrasting. Good Luck!
