FAQ
What’s the difference between highlights and balayage?
Highlights are typically applied using foils and are placed strategically from root to tip for a more defined contrast. Balayage, on the other hand, is a freehand technique where colour is painted onto the hair for a softer, more natural gradient effect. Highlights usually provide a more structured, uniform lift, while balayage offers a sun-kissed, grown-out look that requires less frequent maintenance.
How long do hair highlights last?
Hair highlights generally last 6 to 10 weeks, depending on your natural hair colour, the type of highlights applied, and how quickly your hair grows. Root regrowth and tone fade can become noticeable over time, but using a colour-safe shampoo, avoiding excessive heat styling, and following professional aftercare advice will help extend the life of your highlights.
Can I get highlights on dark hair?
Yes, highlights can be applied to dark hair to create contrast and dimension. The final result depends on the tone you want—warm honey, caramel, copper, or cool ash tones are all possible. Your stylist may recommend a gradual lightening approach for a healthier result, especially if you’re aiming for a brighter or cooler finish.
