We already talked about how the technique that you choose, your hair length and the professional that does your highlights all affect how long it will take to get them done. Choosing the right technique can take about minutes. Going to the salon every month will be more expensive than going every other month. Because a hair colorist, beside suggesting one color or another, can evaluate which color would go best with your skin tone , the kind of make-up you usually use and even your way of dressing.
Now I want to give you a few general pieces of advice about how to choose the color for your highlights. That said, I think there are a few general tips that can help you to start to decide the color you want for your highlights.
Each step can take more or less time depending on if you get to the salon with a clear idea in your head or if you need to define the color that you want to get with your stylist. Some women have more of a one-track mind when it comes to decisions about their hair, while others are more open to different ideas. Some women say I want this color, and nobody can convince them otherwise, while other women might change their mind several times before settling on the color that they want for their highlights.
This is generally the longest and most tedious part of the whole process but let me assure you that your patience is well worth it. A hair colorist with years of experience will take much less time than one that was only recently trained. Once your stylist has finished pulling all of the hair through, they will apply the bleach mix and let it sit for 20 minutes.
However, keep in mind that you will need root touch-ups every weeks, depending on how fast your hair grows. Opt for a trustworthy salon for your first highlights. Many people spend hundreds of dollars on their hair treatments. Then, they arrive home and wash their hair immediately. This is a recipe for disaster and disappointment. Experts recommend waiting for 48 before you wash your hair after highlights.
This way, the color should have enough time to enter the hair follicles and stay there for a while. Harsh hair treatments like highlighting, bleaching, and dyeing make your hair dry and prone to breakage.
Chlorine water can make things worse and further damage your hair. This is why experts recommend waiting for at least 7 days before you go for a swim. Otherwise, chlorine water can indicate some chemical reactions that can make your hair look horrible. It can cause your color to fade or turn different colors green. Also, before entering the pool, soak your hair with tap water. Afterward, utilize a hair mask and conditioner. They last until your natural hair grows.

They need frequent touch-ups. Typically, it takes months to get back to the salon. People revisit the salon for touch-ups when their roots become visible. Give your hair some time to recover from the bleaching. If your hair is 3 inches below your shoulders, you will get the highlights in about hours. The thickness of your hair and the experience of your hair colorist also matter. The shorter the hair, the faster it will go. Enjoy both the process and the results.

It depends on the number of highlights that you decided to do. If you opt to go for subtle highlights, the damage would be minimal. On the other hand, platinum and blonde highlights can seriously damage your hair.
That is mostly because of bleach. It removes hair pigments from the hair shaft, which leads to dry hair ends. Highlights and foils are basically the same things. The highlights are usually done with a plastic cap in the past, while nowadays it is more often to see it done with foils. It also depends on what you want to achieve — keeping it low or dyeing your whole hair. Foils are also used for touch-ups when your natural hair starts growing.
You can always color-over your highlights. However, make sure to schedule an appointment in the salon. Partial highlights are the ones that are only done in sections, placed around the face with a brightening or framing effect.

Whether you decide to dye your hair or to do highlights, you can do that while pregnant. There are no proven effects that dye can harm the fetus. The skin absorbs chemicals found in both semi-permanent and permanent dyes, but not in the large amount. Doing highlights decreases any risk for the fetus as the dye is only placed on strands of your hair and does not touch your scalp. However, consider waiting until you reach your second trimester to treat your hair. While highlights range from caramel to the strawberry blonde, lowlights are used for deepening your natural hair color.
Lowlights are used to contour your hair. You can use shades that are levels darker than your base. They are great for making your hair look more voluminous. It is also great if you decide to combine both of these dyeing techniques. Dyeing hair is simply lightening or darkening your natural hair. It gives you a one-dimensional look that you can achieve at home as well. It is excellent for women with short hair or for those who simply want to cover their grey hair. Keep in mind that you will need to dye your hair every four to eight weeks.
