Highlights from Our Color Lab

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Highlights can create a fascinating, natural new look without a drastic hair color change. However, friends don’t let friends try DIY highlights at home! In one salon visit, healthy hair can take on new dimension and shine. For hair highlights New Braunfels turns to the professional stylists at The Foundry Salon.

Let’s focus on highlighting, after noting that The Foundry Salon offers a full range of professional hair coloring artistry including color balancing, base break, overall custom base coloring, balayage, ombre, and free hand painting. Adding dimension can be done a little, or a lot.

  • Selecting highlight and lowlight colors: For a natural look, colors used should be very close to your natural hair color. Also, highlight colors should stay away from mimicking skin tones too closely. Using harmonized colors minimizes ongoing maintenance, and naturally-formulated coloring products such as Organic Pure Care avoid potentially stressing and damaging hair.
  • Face framing dimension: The basic idea behind dimension is to pick up lighting, accentuating the face and hair style. A face framing dimension uses highlights and/or lowlights, selected to align with hair and skin tones, to complement the natural beauty of facial features.
  • Partial dimension: The next step in dimensioning is start at the top of the head and cascade down, creating an effect similar to what daily, natural sunlight exposure would do. Again, without creating stark contrast by keeping color changes within a tone or two, partial dimension looks natural when done professionally.
  • Full dimension: Expanding the effect to the entire head, full dimension takes highlights and lowlights everywhere. Consulting with a hair colorist, a guest may choose to alternate partial and full dimension in successive salon visits, depending on season and maintenance.
