Have You Ever Had Cap Highlights?
A few weeks ago, I bought one of those highlighting kits from the beauty supply store to give myself a few subtle highlights. Besides the standard mixing bowl, application brush, and product, the kit also came with a "crochet" hook and frosting cap, similar to this Color Trak Tools Xtreme Highlighting Chunking Cap ($3). I've had these frosty cap highlights before from the salon with decent results, but I don't know if I'd attempt to make it a DIY project at home.
Trend Alert: The Brazilian Glaze
Caramel highlights are all the rage this Summer. They give off the effect that you've spent your holiday basking in the sun, yet they are less maintenance than going blonde. According to expert stylist Simon Hill, the hottest new hair colour look is called the Brazilian glaze.
Do You And Your Partner Match Your Hair?
Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds aren't together in real life, however they play an on-screen couple in The Proposal, and for the movie's Los Angeles Premiere they donned matching toffee-coloured highlights (find out how to get Sandra's tousled ponytail here. Brad Pitt has been known to change his hairstyle to match the woman that he is currently involved with. I don't see the harm in having coordinated his and hers hair, as long as no one's individuality is compromised of course.
How Often Do You Get Highlights?
A few years ago when I got regular highlights, (which slowly but surely transformed me into a blonde), I'd go every four to five weeks to keep the roots from showing. This way my hair always looked, fresh and naturally sun-kissed. It became quite a costly and time-consuming commitment, but I really loved the way it looked.
Definition: Baliage
Baliage is a French freestyle technique of creating natural, hand-painted highlights. In French, le balayage means "strands of color." The technique can be done in a chunky or subtle way, but the effect is generally softer since the highlights are more sparse than with a methodical aluminum foil technique.
Do You Prefer Ashley Tisdale With Highlights or Lowlights?
Back in August, Ashley Tisdale had bright, blond and highlighted hair at the High School Musical 2 Premiere. These days, she's sporting a darker and more sophisticated hair color with lowlights. Which do you like better?
How Much Would You Spend on Highlights?
This FabSugar poll about buying expensive handbags got me thinking about why people spend more than they can afford to look their best. If you live in a city like New York or Los Angeles, it's common to drop anywhere from $330 - $550 on a haircut and color in one sitting.
Hot celebrity colorists like Serge Normant, Oscar Blandi, Rita Hazan, Frederic Fekkai, Sally Hershberger and Ted Gibson have sky-high prices—and yet their salons are so packed that it can take months to even get an appointment.
