This Is The Best Inspiration If You Want To Take Highlights Or Lowlights

Are you ready for a change, but aren't looking forward to a completely new hair color? Highlights are then a good option. However, it can still be difficult: there are so many different options that it is not surprising if you lose the overview. You can of course go for different colors, but you also have the choice between highlights and lowlights . Choosing stress guaranteed.

We list the most beautiful looks of the moment for you.

Difference between highlights and lowlights

First, it’s important to know the difference between highlights and lowlights . What color do you choose for lowlights or highlights and what do lowlights look like? It’s actually very simple: highlights put lighter strands in your hair and lowlights put darker strands. If you want a subtle look, it is best to go for lowlights, but if you want to lighten your hair, highlights are exactly what you need.

There is also balayage versus highlights : the difference here is actually the method of application. Highlights are applied with foil and applied from the scalp, while a balayage starts from five centimeters or further from the root and is applied without foil.

Do you also not know where to start? At some point, scrolling through Pinterest for hours is enough. From high- and lowlights in brown hair, highlights and lowlights mixed, lowlights in blond and bleached hair and gray hair: team ELLE looked for the most beautiful inspiration, so that you can go to your hairdresser completely prepared.
