Hi-Lites

In hairstyling, a Hi-lite is a process of lightening hair with hair bleach to achieve a specific colour. The term can also refer to the resulting streaks of lighter hair. Hi-Lites can be added to any hair colour to create a natural-looking or more dramatic effect.

There are many ways to Hi-lites hair, from foil to balayage. The type of Hi-lites you get will depend on your stylist’s technique and your personal preference.

Foil Hi-Lites are the most common type of Hi-Lites. They are achieved by placing strips of foil around sections of hair that have been lightened with hair bleach. The foil protects the rest of the hair from the bleach, allowing the stylist to control the lighting process.

Balayage Hi-lites are a more modern take on Hi-Lites. They are achieved by painting hair bleach onto sections of hair. This allows for a more natural-looking result, as the bleach is not concentrated in one area.

Both foil and balayage Hi-lites can be customized to your desired look. The stylist can choose to Hi-lite only certain sections of your hair, or they can Hi-lite your entire head. The amount of bleach used will also affect the final result.

Hi-Lites are a great way to add dimension to your hair. Depending on your preference, they can help you achieve a natural-looking colour or a more dramatic look. Talk to your stylist about getting Hi-lites the next time you’re in for a haircut!
