Hair Highlighting
Hair highlighting is coloring hair using light colors to color strands of the hair in different sizes. There are four types of highlights: basic foil highlights, hair painting, chunking and low-lighting. They are very common for all ages now and done in expressive and usually natural colors. The categories of the highlights are: temporary, semi-permanent, demi-permanent, and permanent.
Basic Foil highlighting
Foil highlighting is when using foil to help separate strands of highlights so there not mixed with other strands of hair. The process is done by brushing with a hair coloring brush on the strands of hair. Foil can be used as holding the strands of hair being highlighted and then wrapped. The ingredients for hair highlighting can be lighting bleach, which is a bleach to color the hair using peroxide. Peroxide is used in bleach.
Hair painting
Hair painting is an easier way of highlighting hair. There are many hair products that offer hair painting. For example, Clairol Hair painting products. That is only used with an easy brush to paint highlights in hair. Another one is L’Oreal Color strands, which is also used with a brush. What both have in common is that there brushes and that there both permanent. Hair painting is also used with temporary and semi-permanent types of brushes. Brushes aren't the only materials used in hair painting. There are also combs, to paint or highlight thin-sized strands of hair. The effect can look very amateur if not done carefully and the correct colour chosen.
Chunking
