Highlighting Techniques 101: Elevate Your Hair Game with Voga Salon
Highlighting is one of the most versatile and transformative hair coloring techniques, offering endless options to enhance your natural beauty. Whether you're looking to add depth, dimension, or a pop of color, there’s a highlighting technique perfect for your style and hair type. At Voga Salon, our expert stylists are here to help you achieve your dream look while keeping your hair healthy and vibrant.
Traditional Highlights
Traditional highlights, one of the most classic techniques, involve lightening small sections of hair from root to tip using foils. This creates a bright, sun-kissed effect that adds depth and dimension, making it a great option for straight or wavy hair types and those seeking a timeless look.
Balayage
Balayage, a French word meaning “to sweep,” takes a different approach with freehand painting that results in a natural, graduated effect. It’s perfect for all hair types, especially those looking for a low-maintenance style with soft grow-out.
Babylights & Ombre
For a delicate and subtle look, babylights are an excellent choice. These ultra-fine highlights mimic the natural shimmer of sun-lightened hair, making them ideal for fine hair or those seeking understated changes. On the other hand, ombre delivers a bold transition from darker roots to lighter ends, creating a dramatic style perfect for medium to long hair lengths. For clients wanting added depth, lowlights introduce darker strands to create a multi-dimensional effect, enhancing light hair that might feel flat or overly bright.
Face-Framing Highlights
Face-framing highlights are a quick way to brighten your look by strategically placing lighter pieces around your face to accentuate your features. This technique works for all hair lengths and types, instantly enhancing your complexion without the need for a full highlight.
Foilyage
Foilyage, a blend of balayage and foils, offers a brighter, more noticeable lift while maintaining the soft, blended look of traditional balayage, making it a fantastic option for darker hair tones.
Chunky Highlights
If you’re in the mood to make a statement, chunky highlights might be the way to go. With thicker sections of color, this retro-inspired technique adds boldness and drama, perfect for those who love a high-impact look.
Sombre
For something more understated, sombre—or soft ombre—provides a subtle, natural transition between shades for a polished yet effortless style that works on all hair lengths.
