Are You as Cool as You Think?

The best way to determine your skin tone is by placing each of your hands on a piece of silver and gold fabric or wrapping paper. Run this test in natural light to get the best effect, since artificial lighting will skew the results. If you have a cool skin tone, the hand placed on the silver fabric will look pinker and healthier. If you are a warm tone, the gold will bring out the best hand. You can also determine your skin tone by holding a number of different colors of fabric near your face to see which shades are the most flattering to you. Good color choices will result in attention being drawn to your eyes, a smoother appearance to the skin, and a healthy and vibrant complexion. If you see these positives when you hold up shades of blue, pink and lilac, you are definitely “cool".

Beautiful Hair Highlight Tips
One key factor with highlights is to make sure they look natural.  Nothing looks worse then a head full of obvious highlighted stripes.  The most natural highlights are irregular in size and width and are spaced at irregular intervals.
Some hair colorists experts will actually first create a new base color and then paint highlights and/or lowlights on top of the new base.  Other hair colorists will work with your existing base and apply only highlights in strategic locations around your head
Whenever possible take several photos of models with highlights that you like.  Don't be surprised if your hair colorist cautions you that your photos can be completely copied.  This is because everyone has their own unique color base and this will impact the ultimate highlights and lowlights that can be created.
A talented hair colorist understands how to blend, weave and interconnect different highlight patterns with the base to create a spectacular finished highlight which allows a lot of the base to radiate through.  When it comes to highlights, less is more.

Highlights

Standard highlights involve separating hair into individual sections and placing under a slice of foil.  Once a target section of hair is selected, it is painted with bleach or other highlighting product onto the strand with a brush.  Once the section of hair is completely covered with bleach or other highlighting product, the foil is folded over the section. But what is important when doing foil highlights is not to overlap an the pre-lightened hair. This will cause alot of stress to the hair and of course breakage to the haircolor.

While bleach is the most common highlighting product, some products such as Barex Hair Color will lift and lighten with color rather than bleach.  The advantage to a product such as Scruples Hair Color or similar is that it is less damaging to hair then bleach.  When hair is long, fragile, damaged or virgin, a color like Goldwell Hair Color will be less damaging overall.

Caps Versus Foils
Although the major of colorists use foils, some old school hairdressers still use caps for some types of highlighting and low lighting.  Caps can be appropriate for short of medium length hair but caps can be extremely difficult to use on long, naturally wavy or naturally curly strands.  This is because the cap can be very difficult to remove from the hair after the color is washed out.

Chunking - Lowlights

Chunking - This technique was popular in the nineties and created big fat chunks of highlights that were lightened with one color.  Chunking evolved into "piecing" which involves alternating three or more colors into chunky highlights spread out over the entire head.  The current goal with chunking is to avoid an over-bleached effect.

Lowlights - Darker contrasting colors are interwoven with the highlights against the base to create depth and movement

Highlights and lowlights offer many options for instantly changing up an existing hairstyle.  With the proper care and maintenance it's possible to keep highlights and lowlight fresh and vibrant for many weeks.
