As a Professional Hair Colorist , I have been engaged to conduct color seminars around the region. I have the opportunity to share my skills with fellow hairdressers in Thailand, Singapore, Taiwan, India, Hong Kong and of course Malaysia.
After each seminar or workshop , I must have a short questions and answers session. What I found out each time was hairdressers and clients does have the same perception about highlighting hair.
Both parties would think highlights as stripes and yellow or blonde in color. Do you know that highlighting hair need some basic skills and knowledge in analysing hair as well? Questions like when do we apply a think , medium or chunky weave? Where should we place the highlights, just on the crown, all over like full head or just at the perimeter of hairline framing the face?
Now , let me share with you that highlightng hair need not yellow or stripy all the time unless requested. To me , highlights are all about creating movements to the hair, make your hair feel lighter and define. Don't you agree that most of the haircuts or hairstyles on the street carries some sort of layering? With the exception of a one length cut or sometimes bob, all hair cuts need some kind of color work to enhance the total look.
Highlights could be achieve with just a shade lighter or up to 5 shades lighter if you want it to. A soft caramel , butterscotch or honey highlights can do so well on Asian natural dark brown base. A deep mahagony violet like a blend of cranberry with grapes work as good or a warm tangerine to add some warmth to the base. See how "delicious" our hair can go , the possibilities are limitless as long as we do a professional consultation with your hair colorist.
So the next time you see your hairdresser , be sure you communicate openly or better still visit us because only us carries the title Redken Certified Hair Colorist.
