Alright, let’s dive into how to customize your hair systems with men’s highlights. Whether you want a subtle lift or a bold statement, men’s highlights can help you achieve it. They are more for a personal touch.
Here’s everything you need to know.
Why Highlights?
Let’s be real, monotone hair looks a bit flat. Highlights break up the uniformity, adding depth and a more natural vibe to your hair system. The techniques of hair highlights are just for the effect of how real hair reflects light. They give you more dimension and realism. Hair highlights can give a sun-kissed glow or a sleek, defined style. Plus, highlights are great for versatility, and you or your client can switch between different hairstyles.
Step 1: Choosing Your Highlight Territory
This is all about where the highlights go. It may sound complicated, but really just about placement. Here’s how you decide:
- Front and Top Highlights: Help frame your face and give it a fresher, brighter look. This placement draws attention to your features and adds subtle depths where people notice it most.
- Crown Area: Perfect if you want to create the illusion of volume. Highlighting the crown adds texture and makes the hair system appear thicker and fuller.
- Full Coverage Highlights: Want a more even look across the board? Full coverage highlights give depth and texture throughout the entire hair system, creating a more natural, multi-dimensional look.
Step 2: Picking Your Highlight Style
You need to decide how subtle or bold you want your highlights to be. There are two main approaches here:
- Blended Highlights: These are perfect for a natural, seamless look. Blended highlights have lighter tones. Usually, it’s for the entire hair system and gives that soft, sun-kissed effect. If you want people to notice your look but not the highlights, get blended highlights.
- Spot Highlights: If you want a bit more contrast and character, get spot highlights. They are applied in more distinct sections. So your hair system will have a stronger pop of color and definition.
Step 3: Find Your Highlight Balance
This step is all about customizing the intensity of your highlights. You have two main ways to approach it:
- Percentage of Highlights: For blended highlights, you need to decide how much of the hair system will be highlighted. For example, when we say 30%, it means that 30% of the hair will be highlighted, and the rest 70% will be your base color. The higher the percentage, the more noticeable the highlights.
- Spot Size and Spacing: For spot highlights, you choose the size of each highlight section and the distance between them. Big, bold spots spread out for a more dynamic look? Go for it. The choice is yours. It allows you to fine-tune the overall look that matches your style preferences.
Step 4: Customization is Everything
When ordering highlights, customization is key. The beauty of highlights is that they let you personalize your hair system to your liking. If you prefer soft, barely-there accents or something making a bold statement, highlights will give you the flexibility to create a look that’s uniquely yours.
Step 5: Communicating with the Experts
Decided what color you want? Now talk to the hair system experts. When you order your hair system, make sure you specify:
- Highlight Territory: Where you want the highlights placed (front/top, crown, or full coverage).
- Highlight Style: Whether you want a blended or spot highlight effect.
- Highlight Balance: The percentage of highlights or the specific size and spacing of spot highlights.
Maintenance Tips for Your Hair Highlights
Now that you’ve got your highlights. Don’t you want to keep them looking fresh? Here’s how:
- Use Color-Safe Products: Use shampoos and conditioners for color-treated hair. Stick to sulfate-free products. They will keep the color vibrant and your hair system healthy.
- Limit Heat Exposure: Excessive heat can dull the highlights and damage the hair system. Always use a heat protectant when using styling tools, and stick to low heat.
- Touch-Ups: Hair system hair doesn’t grow, but the color will fade over time. Have a touch-up every 8-10 weeks. It will keep your highlights sharp. If they start to look brassy, use a purple shampoo to maintain their tone.
