Looking to add a little somethin’ somethin’ to your look? Then highlights are the way to go. Not only are they easy to achieve at home, but highlights add an instant update to your hair without any major commitments.
Allow us to highlight some of the other benefits of the style:
1. Much less maintenance
Highlights don’t need as much touching up as a full head of colour. When your entire base colour is different, your root regrowth is much more noticeable and requires a lot of extra time and attention. The regrowth with highlights is far more subtle and you can go up to 6 – 8 weeks before needing to redo it.
2. Way less damaging
If your hair is struggling with the harsher winter weather, then now might not be the best time for a full head of bleach. Your hair takes several weeks to recover after colouring and will then need to be touched up every 4 weeks or so. Strategically placed highlights mean that not every strand of hair needs to be lightened, decreasing overall damage and need for upkeep and reapplication.
3.Yay for disguising the greys
Light highlights blend in with your greys, softening the harsh difference between the greys and your natural colour.
4. Gives you an instant glow up
Lighter streaks add depth to your hair colour and enhance your skin tone. With the added illusion of more volume, more warmth and the way highlights frame your face, you’ll look and feel like you’ve had a full makeover.
5. So many ways to highlight your hair
Highlights are super versatile. You can play around with the tone and thickness of the streaks. Opt for some face-framing strands or go for a full head of highlights – bold or low key, it’s up to you.
6. An instant update
Highlights can instantly give you a trendy new update by enhancing your cut or giving your one-dimensional colour a bolder pop.
7. You can get the look at home
There’s no need to wait for salons to reopen to freshen up your hair with some highlights. You just need Renew’s DIY Highlights Kits. These kits have everything you need to achieve highlights at home. Each box comes with detailed instructions on how to achieve shiny, healthy highlights – quickly, easily and permanently. You’ll have complete control over the final look and can create something that’s truly suited to your style.
