Everyone who's ever tried to colour their hair knows its harder to go lighter than to go darker. But this step-by-step guide to highlighting brown hair will make it much easier to get the colour you want.
Today, were going to show you how to do highlights for brown hair. I'm going to choose a highlight, a lowlight, but we're going to choose 2 different highlights and a lowlight. The effect that I want to get is to have some lighter blonde hair, some more golden blonde, and we also want a few deeper tones through it, just to break up the solid blonde hair that is seen here already. Second phase, highlights and lowlights, we want the end result to be quite natural. So, we've chosen the ash blonde, a warm blonde, and a lowlight. But also, choosing the pattern that I'm working in, we want it to fall quite naturally. Firstly, I'm going to be using very fine highlights. I'm also going to be working in the back section. I'm going to be working vertically so that the highlights all fall. Then, we're going to work through the top and I'm going to do some diagonal highlights through the front so that they all move and fall nicely. So, let the colour process for 15 minutes, roof the back first and let the front process for further, about 6 minutes. We shampooed, and conditioner, and blow dried, and that's how you do highlights in brown hair.
