Coloring babylights: essence and differences from other techniques
When the sun is not enough
Hair coloring techniques that resemble sun-bleached strands are most often updated closer to the hot summer season. But who said that you can’t resort to them in cold seasons, which need sun glare more than ever?
The babylights coloring technique was invented and created by London stylist Jack Howard, who came up with many variations of different coloring techniques.
Babylights is a coloring technique based on elements of conventional highlighting and classic balayage. Using this technique, you can visually increase the volume of your hair and make it fuller. As a rule, strands located closer to the face and ends are lightened.
Visually characterizing babylights, it is worth noting that these are very thin, light highlights that look very natural on the hair and resemble sun-bleached strands, like in childhood, where the color is brighter on the top and bottom of the hair.
How are babylights different from highlights?
Babylights coloring is more delicate than highlights. The main difference between the two is that babylights involve highlighting more strands of hair. Babylights will create more solid color than highlights, which will create a mixture of several colors.
What's the difference between balayage and babylights?
Both balayage and babylights look very natural on hair. They are created in the same way as traditional highlighting, using foil. But with babylights, much smaller areas of hair are dyed, and these strands are located close to each other. The master always works with small strands, sometimes only with a few individual strands from the entire mass of hair.
The babylights technique is not only for blondes, it can be applied to almost all hair types and textures with excellent results. Therefore, among clients there will definitely be those who prefer light, uncomplicated and low-maintenance coloring. In this case, babylights are the best choice.
