Highlights & Highlighting - Continued
<< BACK
There are many types of bleaches out there today to use with your foils. There is still the powder bleach but now they contain special ingredients to prevent drying out and flaking, oil bleach, crème bleach and a combination. I prefer the oil and crème bleach to do any high lifts, because I look for ways to keep hair in good condition. They are gentle on the hair in comparison to the powdered bleaches. A long time ago there were only high powered harsh bleaches that left the hair like straw if you weren’t careful. We didn’t have the deep moisture conditioners that we have now, only crème rinses and oil treatments. Everyone wanted to be a Platinum blonde and many of us had to have double processes to bring the hair up to that level. Our scalp would be burning as we’d madly fan our head. By the time we had our hair up to the proper pale yellow, we then had to turn around and apply the toner to have the color we desired. The double process was a one time thing in the beginning, but a nightmare to go through at the time. The fun part with such a light color, I could choose any shade of blonde I desired, and would go through a touch up once a month. It would be unthinkable for anyone to see my dark roots, albeit I knew I wasn’t hiding the fact that I bleached my hair (yes, I shouted blonde!,). Today, it’s almost fashionable to sport a couple of months new growth and reveal an inch or two of your natural hair. Colorists do not find this appealing at all. There are many pathways you can take if you are serious about highlighting your hair. Be open to what would look best on you and be agreeable with your lifestyle and personality. You might be blonde right now but have the personality of a saucy redhead. There isn’t anything like a beautiful red hair. Color and cut is everything. Do not give up or be discouraged, your unique color designed just for you is just waiting for you. Penny Williams ©hairfinder.com Penny is a professional hairstylist with many years of experience.
