Forget about highlighting — a new trend in hair coloring
Is it possible to lighten hair faster than usual and still get the effect of natural burnt-out strands? Yes, and the answer to this is the Instant Highlights technique. This is a new approach to partial highlighting that saves you time.
Novyny.LIVE will tell you more about it.
Advantages of Instant Highlights
The whole procedure takes only 45 to 60 minutes - half the time of the classic coloring. This speed is achieved thanks to the use of a hair iron.
The technician takes a strand of hair, places it on the foil, applies a special lightening cream and covers it with another layer of foil. The iron then heats the strand for about 30 seconds. If the result is not enough, the process can be repeated. Thanks to the heating up to 140°C, the cream works faster, but it is important not to overexpose it to avoid damaging the hair.
Why you should try it
- You get the effect of burnt-out strands that perfectly frame your face.
- You can lighten the ends for an ombre effect.
- This technique can also be used on dark hair to add volume and relief. In this case, lighten by 3-4 shades to maintain naturalness.
Instant Highlights allows you to lighten your hair up to 6 shades. If you want a softer effect, reduce the exposure time. The result will also depend on your natural hair color.
After lightening, toning is mandatory. It "seals" the hair scales, making them smooth and shiny. The choice of shade is up to you: ash, golden or beige - the master will choose the best option.
Although Instant Highlights kits are available for home use, it is better to trust a professional. In the salon, the master knows how to use the iron and choose the right mode to keep your hair healthy.
Instant Highlights is not just a trend, but a convenient way to refresh your style without wasting time. If you've ever dreamed of light shades of color or the effect of burnt-out strands, this technique is for you.
