If you have just had your hair permanently waved or straightened, you might have to put off highlighting until the cuticle of your hair has settled down. The chemicals in a permanent wave work by breaking the hair’s cuticle and then resetting it in the shape of the rod. The result is that your hair is more movable and therefore more easily damaged after a perm. Contact your professional stylist to know your hair’s condition.
So you just had a fresh new short haircut and want to show your style with some highlights. Or perhaps you want to refresh your shot hair style with the soft look. Well, here are some steps you should go after.
1. First look through some fashion magazines and find pictures of highlighted hair styles that you like the most. Not all hair highlights are same, so keep your eyes open.
2. Purchase a home hair highlighting kit which is suitable for your hair. Those with short hair will do best with a hair highlighting kit that includes a cap and hook, while those with long hair should pick up a kit that contains a special application brush that lets you “paint” on the highlights.
3. Prefer a hair highlighting color that will give you the results you’re looking for. For a slight effect try buying a color only 2 to 3 shades lighter than your natural color. For a bolder look seek a light blonde or bold red as your highlight of choice.
4. Apply highlights on totally dry hair. If possible, try to highlight your hair on a day that you haven’t washed it. The natural oils of your hair will help out protect your strands during the coloring process.
5. Brush your hair thoroughly to remove all tangles.
