* Purpose: Lowlights add depth, dimension, and richness to the hair. They can also create the illusion of thicker hair and help blend out or tone down overly bright highlights.
* Color: The color of the lowlights depends on your base hair color and the desired effect. They're typically a shade or two darker than your natural color or existing highlights.
* Technique: Lowlights are applied in a similar way to highlights, often using foil or balayage techniques. The color is applied to selected strands of hair to create a subtle or more dramatic contrast.
* Benefits:
* Adds depth and dimension
* Creates a more natural look, especially when highlights are too bright
* Can make hair appear thicker
* Helps blend gray hair
* Adds richness and warmth, especially in darker shades
In short, lowlights are a coloring technique used to create darker strands within the hair, adding depth and dimension to the overall look.
