The difference between highlights and low lights

So many clients love to know what is the difference between highlights and low lights.

It can be confusing when you don't know what to ask your hair stylist for over the phone or worse still in the chair.

Let me clarify for you.


Generally,  
low lights means that the colour you are going to have your hair coloured is going to end up darker than your current colour.

Highlights means the hair is going to be turning lighter after the colour treatment.

So in a nutshell.

High means lighter

Low means darker

No need to fret now each time you visit the salon!

Oh and in case you weren't too sure,  these colours are generally added to little parts of the hair by using foil packages. Not always though,  depends what it is you are referring to.  Although highlights and lowlights does not relate to a full head colour.

Hope that helps.  Email me for any questions - happy to help!

If you would like a Skype consultation (anyone anywhere in the world) so you can get an idea what will suit your face shape ready for next time you see your own stylist then just send me a quick email and we will discuss your consultation.
