Highlighting adds lighter dimension through the hair for a brighter, more polished look. Done well, it enhances movement, softens features, and keeps the finish believable rather than stripy. The goal is colour that looks intentional in every light and grows out neatly. Who is highlighting best suited to? Highlighting suits anyone who wants more brightness and definition without committing to an all-over change. It can be kept subtle for a low-maintenance look or built up for stronger contrast, depending on your style and diary. Your colourist will guide you towards the most flattering balance. How often will I need to maintain my highlights? Maintenance depends on your natural base, how bright you go, and how quickly your hair grows. Many clients refresh their highlights every 6–12 weeks, with small adjustments in between if needed. During consultation, you will get a timing plan that fits your routine. Will highlighting affect the condition of my hair? Any lightening service needs careful planning, but your colourist will prioritise hair health throughout. Expect an approach tailored to your hair’s current condition, with guidance on how to protect shine and softness. If your hair needs a gentler route, that will be discussed before starting. How do I look after highlighted hair at home? Use colour-protecting shampoo and conditioner, and keep heat styling controlled with a heat protectant. A weekly mask helps maintain softness and shine, especially on the lighter areas. You will also be advised on how often to cleanse and how to reduce fading between visits.
