You can use one of two techniques to highlight your hair: foil highlights or cap highlights. Both techniques will do the same thing in the end, which is use a different color from your base color on some areas of your hair. But, there are a few differences between the two techniques that will help you decide between them as to which you prefer. The primary differences between the two techniques are: Cap highlights are neater since the distance between pieces of hair to highlight is determined by where you pull hair through the holes in the cap.
Cap highlights can be more painful because when you pass the hair pieces through the cap, it can pull on your hair. That always happens no matter how careful your hair colorist is. On the other hand, you need to take more time with foil highlights as you wrap each piece of hair in foil. Highlights that are slightly lighter than your natural color do not need a gloss.
In this case, we suggest using one of our shades from our line of Knockouts. These shades range from black to a light brown. Because the hair is lightened, the color may fade depending on porosity and the shampoo used. To protect your color and help keep it from fading, we recommend using our Color Protecting Shampoo and Conditioner to maintain the color.
To keep your color hydrated and toned, you can use our Color Therapy color depositing hair mask in place of your regular conditioner. To maintain your color and add intense shine, you can use Color Reviving Gloss between coloring sessions. Still have questions? No worries. Like we said, you can always schedule a complimentary Video Color Consultation with a Licensed Colorist Concierge who will be able to look at your hair and give you tips and tricks.

Since it is difficult to lift dyed-dark hair to accomplish highlights, it will take longer for the bleach and hair dye to work effectively. The hair goes through a natural process of turning red or orange before it reaches the bleach-blonde color. Adding heat to the hair during this process is effective for speeding things up, and for setting the accurate color to the hair.
If you apply heat to the hair, it may take 45 minutes to one hour for the dyed dark color to lift. If you do not use heat, it may take twice as long. After the hair is bleached and the hair dye deposits the highlight color you selected, the hair is rinsed with water and a toner is applied to the hair.
Toner prevents the fading of the color and protects the hair from turning brassy or orange. Or request balayage when a colorist paints on highlights instead of foils where strands are folded up into aluminum foil sheets. You asked for a few super-chunky highlights and now you have tiger stripes. If having prominent highlights is what you want, talk to your colorist first to make sure she uses the veining technique, which mixes up thicknesses and makes highlights thinner toward the root and thicker by the ends, Friedman says.
You dyed your roots yourself, went too dark, and now your hairline looks shoe polish-y. So, whether you're covering grays, just want to richen your natural color, or altering your hue altogether and going a little darker, choose a second box color that's about one shade lighter for the face-framing pieces, and match your natural color as best as possible for the all-over shade.
You totally disregard your complexion when choosing your hair color. Sure, you could just choose a hair color and not base it off of anything, but if you consider your complexion, it will look more natural and suit your skin tone better.
No one knows what look best on your coloring like a pro, so even before you pick a box shade, book a consultation with a colorist to get an idea of all your color options based on your skin tone, eye color, and brow color. You're using one color to dye your entire head of hair. Applying one shade of, say, dark brown all over your head every time you dye it can cause your hair color to look flat.
It could even alter the ends of your hair to a darker shade, like black, without you intending on it since they're so porous and absorb color quickly.
To make sure you create dimension, even if you're using one color, Friedman suggests applying hair color starting at the back of your head first, not the front.
