8 Types of Highlights To Try For Your Hair

Traditional Highlights

This hair coloring procedure is called foiling. Your stylist lightens each hair strand from root to tip. 

Arrow

Full Highlights

Full highlights use highlighted portions of hair throughout your head and are the easiest to understand. A full highlight service may be chosen to offer variety to the entire head.

Arrow

Partial Highlights

Partial highlights exclude the hair's lowest layers. Here, the client's hair wouldn't change color.

Arrow

Babylight Highlights

Babylights create a delicate sun-kissed tint for hair. Instead of traditional highlights, they give your hair a subtle glow. 

Arrow

Ombré Highlights

This highlights your hair to the ends. Traditional ombrés start with one color on top and change to a different color or shadow tone at the ends.

Arrow

Foil-ayage Highlights

For more lightening, your hair colorist utilizes foil instead of balayage. Talk to your stylist about foil-ayage if balayage appears too subtle.

Arrow

Sombré Highlights

Sombré, a mix of “subtle” and “ombré,” is elegant and feminine. Your initial highlights sessions may cost more, but you won't need as many follow-ups. 

Arrow

Chunky Highlights

This trendy comeback emphasizes larger, 1-inch-wide hair portions for great contrast.
