dark blonde graying hair currently all over color - want to hi-lite instead?

Question

I'm 64, look abut 45-50. Been doing all over color myself light blond and missing a lot in the back. Want to have hi-lited instead. Have dark blond graying hair and light blue eyes, longish hair. Sides look Platinum and rest other colors. What type of hi-lites should I ask about? Not familiar with the terms low lite and hi lite????

Answer 1

hi, i hope this helps. First we'll start by clearing up the difference in hi-lites and low-lites. Hi-lites add streaks to your hair that are lighter than your current color, low-lites add streaks to your hair that are darker than your current color. For example, on your hair, a bright blonde streak would be considered a hi-lite and an auburn or brown streak would be considered a low-lite. When at a salon, if you're looking for more depth and dimension, or looking to tone your current color down a little more but you still want some streaks, you can get hi-lites and low-lites at the same time, this way you'll have some brighter streaks and some darker streaks to balance you color and make your hair appear more dimensional. If you have a budget to stay within (salons can be expensive depending on length of hair) then i would recommend an at home kit. The one i use at home is called Frost and Design and you put a cap on and pull the peices you want out (so you can determine how much you want colored and how thickly you want it colored because very thick streaks are called "chunks"). It's relatively simple and inexpensive. If you want to color all around first, as streaking will leave you with some gray, try an at home kit that has all over color and streaking included. I hope this helps and good luck :)

Answer 2

i would ask for an all over weave that way the gray will blend in with the blonde. then the gray will not show as much. it is a very common way to deal with gray hair.

Answer 3

you can die your hair if you want to if not you should get out in the sun more probably
