Highlighting Ideas for Every Hair Colour
Brunettes: Enhance your natural brown tones with warm caramel, honey, or chestnut highlights for a subtle sun-kissed effect. For a bolder look, consider ashy or cool-toned highlights to create a striking contrast.
Redheads: Copper, strawberry blonde, or auburn highlights can add vibrancy and richness to your natural red tones, creating a beautiful multi-dimensional effect.
Blondes: From icy platinum to golden honey, highlights can brighten your look and add texture and movement. Opt for babylights for a soft, natural effect or go bold with chunky highlights for added drama.
Different Highlighting Techniques
T-Section Highlights: Perfect for a subtle refresh, this technique focuses on the top and front sections of the hair to brighten your look with minimal upkeep.
Partial Head Highlights: Ideal for adding dimension to your hair, partial highlights cover the top and sides, creating a natural and blended effect.
Full Head Highlights: A great option for those who want an all-over lighter look, full head highlights create a complete transformation and can be customised to your desired shade.
Transitioning to Grey with Highlights
Highlights are a fantastic way to achieve a seamless and beautiful transition to grey hair. By incorporating lighter tones that blend with your natural greys, we can create a soft, elegant look that grows out gracefully. Our expert colourists will work with you to ensure a flattering and natural finish.
To keep your highlights looking fresh and vibrant, we recommend visiting Gavin Ashley Hair Salon every 6-8 weeks for a touch-up and toner. A toner may be needed to help neutralise any unwanted warmth or brassiness and maintain the richness of your colour.
