Highlights are different from hair color. Hair color refers to the coloring of all the hair while highlighting refers to coloring only some strands of hair in a lighter color than the rest of the hair. Highlights are usually done using bright shades, often with a metallic tint.

Highlights can be used with or without base hair color. Your natural hair color can in fact be your base. Choosing highlighting alone is, of course, the less expensive option.

Highlights can be used to create various effects enhancing the color, shape, style and volume of the hair. It also enhances facial shape, eye color and skin tone. Depending on the strategic placement of highlights on the hairstyle, attention can be drawn to certain features and different illusions can be created.

Hair that is on the thin side or hair that lies flat and lacks body can be given the look of more depth, dimension and volume through highlights. Highlights may also be combined with lowlights – meaning selective coloring using darker color than the rest of the hair – to create even more volume, dimension and depth.

Highlighting need not be used only for funky or ultra-modern styles. It is just as pretty for more romantic or even classic hair styles. It is also just as effective for short, medium length or long hair. It can be used for one length hair styles and for layered hair styles alike. Highlights are appropriate for teenagers and grandmothers, and for any age in between.

Depending on the look you want, you can have very narrow strands of hair highlighted for a more natural look or wider chunks of hair lightened for bolder highlights. You could also choose shades that are closer to your own hair color for the look of naturally sun kissed hair. Natural blondes can have natural looking platinum highlights, redheads can have natural looking strawberry blonde highlights while brunettes can have natural looking honey blonde highlights. You could also, alternatively, choose extreme colors like fuchsia or purple or even green.

The advantage of highlighting over hair color is that highlighting does not result in obvious roots with regrowth. This is especially true because highlights are just woven throughout the entire head and they do not necessarily begin at the hair roots. They can be placed an inch or two from the roots or can even be placed at the ends of hair strands. The advantage of highlighting the ends of hair strands is the easier option of removing even permanent highlights with only a trim.

Among the methods of highlighting are foil highlighting and hair painting. In foil highlighting, the strands of hair to be highlighted are wrapped in foil after being colored so as not to bleed the color into other strands. In hair painting, the highlights are combed or brushed into the hair.

As soon as you have found the finest Tampa beauty and hair salon that provides the most flattering highlights as well as haircuts, hair color, hair extensions and keratin hair treatments, you have most probably found Salon Monaco of Tampa. You will then have no need for any of the other hair salons in Tampa.
