But if you&#8217;re not looking to switch up your cut, you can always try a new color. And if you aren&#8217;t ready to commit to a whole new hue, there are many highlight methods that can transform your look.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_2-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> From brightening your visage with babylights to adding some edge with chunky highlights, there are many subtle ways to elevate your look.

We asked color experts Christine Thompson, Gina Rivera, and Lauren Paglionico to break down the different types of highlights to choose from so you and your colorist are always on the same page.

It creates depth and dimension and works great on all hair types.&#8221; Thompson adds that classic highlights start at the\u00a0scalp and require &#8220;slightly more upkeep than balayage or some of the other styles on our list, as they distribute color all over the hair (and therefore roots tend to be more obvious).&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_7-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> All our experts agree that the best way to maintain your highlights is to use a color-safe shampoo and sulfate-free conditioner. Paglionico&#8217;s pick is IGK Legendary Shampoo and Conditioner, followed by the Milbon Restorative Blowout Primer for a heat protectant before styling.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"list-sc-item_2-0\" class=\"comp list-sc-item mntl-block\">\n<div id=\"list-marker_2-0\" class=\"comp list-marker\"><span class=\"list-marker__index\">02<\/span><span class=\"list-marker__total\">of 09<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"list-sc-item__content_2-0\" class=\"comp list-sc-item__content mntl-block\">\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_8-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-list-item-title\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> Babylights <\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"mntl-sc-block_9-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-image--full-width figure-square figure-high-res\">\n<div class=\"figure-media\">\n<div class=\"img-placeholder\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" alt=\"Hailey Baldwin looking at the camera with windblown hair\" class=\"lazyload mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" id=\"mntl-sc-block-image_2-0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.byrdie.com\/thmb\/5fXT105gSzdlxCnDTxSZivco_Rg=\/1500x0\/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)\/babylights-36ae212f237b4d468d0cf69d858af4ef.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.byrdie.com\/thmb\/5fXT105gSzdlxCnDTxSZivco_Rg=\/1500x0\/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)\/babylights-36ae212f237b4d468d0cf69d858af4ef.png\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" class=\"img--noscript mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" alt=\"Hailey Baldwin looking at the camera with windblown hair\"><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption id=\"mntl-figure-caption_2-0\" class=\"comp mntl-figure-caption text-utility-100 figure-article-caption\"><span class=\"figure-article-caption-owner\"><\/p>\n<p>@haileybieber \/ instagram<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_10-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> The most natural-looking option, babylights are highlights woven very fine and close together for a natural look. &#8220;Babylights are meant\u00a0to make hair\u00a0look slightly sun-kissed. They can be harder to detect as a standalone highlight, but they give the hair more of a shimmer or glow,&#8221; says Thompson. &#8220;Babylights add subtle dimension to your hair and look especially good on natural blonde(s),&#8221; adds Paglionico.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_11-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Rivera emphasizes the importance of using a professional color shampoo and conditioner that will not only &#8220;hydrate and strengthen the hair, but it will also help maintain the longevity of your color.&#8221; She adds: &#8220;I also recommend using a purple shampoo for blondes as this will help combat any unwanted yellow.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"list-sc-item_3-0\" class=\"comp list-sc-item mntl-block\">\n<div id=\"list-marker_3-0\" class=\"comp list-marker\"><span class=\"list-marker__index\">03<\/span><span class=\"list-marker__total\">of 09<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"list-sc-item__content_3-0\" class=\"comp list-sc-item__content mntl-block\">\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_12-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-list-item-title\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> Balayage <\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"mntl-sc-block_13-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-image--full-width figure-square figure-high-res\">\n<div class=\"figure-media\">\n<div class=\"img-placeholder\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" alt=\"Person with long wavy hair in a stylish dress smiling at the camera\" class=\"lazyload mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" id=\"mntl-sc-block-image_3-0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.byrdie.com\/thmb\/wykSOBgiwP7CB-Y8ydQBE8ys0CU=\/1500x0\/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)\/balayage-584cdb0cc60944d5b07643134d418ba0.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.byrdie.com\/thmb\/wykSOBgiwP7CB-Y8ydQBE8ys0CU=\/1500x0\/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)\/balayage-584cdb0cc60944d5b07643134d418ba0.png\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" class=\"img--noscript mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" alt=\"Person with long wavy hair in a stylish dress smiling at the camera\"><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption id=\"mntl-figure-caption_3-0\" class=\"comp mntl-figure-caption text-utility-100 figure-article-caption\"><span class=\"figure-article-caption-owner\"><\/p>\n<p>Getty Images<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_14-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Balayage means &#8220;to sweep&#8221; in French, so it&#8217;s no surprise that this technique refers to the motion of creating a seamless blend. &#8220;A lot of the times you see this in open air painting; however, it can be done within foils as well,&#8221; says Thompson, who says that balayage often gets confused as a &#8220;look,&#8221; but is actually a technique\u00a0of painting by freehand using a sweeping motion.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_15-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> &#8220;You will look like you have been on the beach for three months,&#8221; says Paglionico. &#8220;This technique is great for someone who is low-maintenance.

This is a good option if you&#8217;re looking for more of a lift in color than hand-painted balayage because the foil allows the hair to get lighter while it&#8217;s wrapped inside.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_20-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> &#8220;This is a great technique for someone who loves the look of a traditional foil highlight but wants the ends to pop like balayage.

This is another low-commitment look, as you can go a while longer between salon visits (roots are key here, so even if they grow out, you won&#8217;t have to race in for a touch-up).\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_24-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Rivera adds that ombr\u00e9 transitions from darker roots to lighter midshaft and even lighter ends, which &#8220;gives the hair a bit more contrast between colors without heavy lines between shades.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_25-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> &#8220;It&#8217;s gradual, but the root is darker and fades into lighter ends.

The resulting look helps to open and brighten your face and is among the most natural because it lightens the hair where it would be naturally lightened by the sun. Plus, as a bonus, it requires much less upkeep than a classic, overall highlight, and looks natural even as it grows out.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_33-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> &#8220;Face-framing highlights are hair sections that are woven into foil\u00a0for a lighter effect around the face. This is a great technique if you&#8217;re not fully ready to commit to overall color,&#8221; says Rivera of the highlight that adds a pop of color around your face.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_34-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Paglionico adds that this highlight &#8220;brightens you up and is great for those who wear their hair back.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"list-sc-item_8-0\" class=\"comp list-sc-item mntl-block\">\n<div id=\"list-marker_8-0\" class=\"comp list-marker\"><span class=\"list-marker__index\">08<\/span><span class=\"list-marker__total\">of 09<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"list-sc-item__content_8-0\" class=\"comp list-sc-item__content mntl-block\">\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_35-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-list-item-title\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> Dimensional <\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"mntl-sc-block_36-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-image--full-width figure-square figure-high-res\">\n<div class=\"figure-media\">\n<div class=\"img-placeholder\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" alt=\"Jennifer Lopez posing against a patterned background\" class=\"lazyload mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" id=\"mntl-sc-block-image_8-0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.byrdie.com\/thmb\/HIifCDB99wyhgt5RYkbn2yT11ZY=\/1500x0\/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)\/jlo-b5b6d27f86304c558672e88822d2c8ac.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.byrdie.com\/thmb\/HIifCDB99wyhgt5RYkbn2yT11ZY=\/1500x0\/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)\/jlo-b5b6d27f86304c558672e88822d2c8ac.png\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" class=\"img--noscript mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" alt=\"Jennifer Lopez posing against a patterned background\"><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption id=\"mntl-figure-caption_8-0\" class=\"comp mntl-figure-caption text-utility-100 figure-article-caption\"><span class=\"figure-article-caption-owner\"><\/p>\n<p>@jlo \/ instagram<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_37-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Dimensional highlights offer more contrast (think dark brown with lighter highlights). In other words, you&#8217;re adding dimension to the hair via color.

But if you&#8217;re not looking to switch up your cut, you can always try a new color.

It creates depth and dimension and works great on all hair types.&#8221; Thompson adds that classic highlights start at the\u00a0scalp and require &#8220;slightly more upkeep than balayage or some of the other styles on our list, as they distribute color all over the hair (and therefore roots tend to be more obvious).&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_7-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> All our experts agree that the best way to maintain your highlights is to use a color-safe shampoo and sulfate-free conditioner. Paglionico&#8217;s pick is IGK Legendary Shampoo and Conditioner, followed by the Milbon Restorative Blowout Primer for a heat protectant before styling.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"list-sc-item_2-0\" class=\"comp list-sc-item mntl-block\">\n<div id=\"list-marker_2-0\" class=\"comp list-marker\"><span class=\"list-marker__index\">02<\/span><span class=\"list-marker__total\">of 09<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"list-sc-item__content_2-0\" class=\"comp list-sc-item__content mntl-block\">\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_8-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-list-item-title\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> Babylights <\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"mntl-sc-block_9-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-image--full-width figure-square figure-high-res\">\n<div class=\"figure-media\">\n<div class=\"img-placeholder\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" alt=\"Hailey Baldwin looking at the camera with windblown hair\" class=\"lazyload mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" id=\"mntl-sc-block-image_2-0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.byrdie.com\/thmb\/5fXT105gSzdlxCnDTxSZivco_Rg=\/1500x0\/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)\/babylights-36ae212f237b4d468d0cf69d858af4ef.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.byrdie.com\/thmb\/5fXT105gSzdlxCnDTxSZivco_Rg=\/1500x0\/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)\/babylights-36ae212f237b4d468d0cf69d858af4ef.png\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" class=\"img--noscript mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" alt=\"Hailey Baldwin looking at the camera with windblown hair\"><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption id=\"mntl-figure-caption_2-0\" class=\"comp mntl-figure-caption text-utility-100 figure-article-caption\"><span class=\"figure-article-caption-owner\"><\/p>\n<p>@haileybieber \/ instagram<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_10-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> The most natural-looking option, babylights are highlights woven very fine and close together for a natural look. &#8220;Babylights are meant\u00a0to make hair\u00a0look slightly sun-kissed. They can be harder to detect as a standalone highlight, but they give the hair more of a shimmer or glow,&#8221; says Thompson. &#8220;Babylights add subtle dimension to your hair and look especially good on natural blonde(s),&#8221; adds Paglionico.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_11-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Rivera emphasizes the importance of using a professional color shampoo and conditioner that will not only &#8220;hydrate and strengthen the hair, but it will also help maintain the longevity of your color.&#8221; She adds: &#8220;I also recommend using a purple shampoo for blondes as this will help combat any unwanted yellow.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"list-sc-item_3-0\" class=\"comp list-sc-item mntl-block\">\n<div id=\"list-marker_3-0\" class=\"comp list-marker\"><span class=\"list-marker__index\">03<\/span><span class=\"list-marker__total\">of 09<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"list-sc-item__content_3-0\" class=\"comp list-sc-item__content mntl-block\">\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_12-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-list-item-title\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> Balayage <\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"mntl-sc-block_13-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-image--full-width figure-square figure-high-res\">\n<div class=\"figure-media\">\n<div class=\"img-placeholder\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" alt=\"Person with long wavy hair in a stylish dress smiling at the camera\" class=\"lazyload mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" id=\"mntl-sc-block-image_3-0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.byrdie.com\/thmb\/wykSOBgiwP7CB-Y8ydQBE8ys0CU=\/1500x0\/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)\/balayage-584cdb0cc60944d5b07643134d418ba0.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.byrdie.com\/thmb\/wykSOBgiwP7CB-Y8ydQBE8ys0CU=\/1500x0\/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)\/balayage-584cdb0cc60944d5b07643134d418ba0.png\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" class=\"img--noscript mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" alt=\"Person with long wavy hair in a stylish dress smiling at the camera\"><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption id=\"mntl-figure-caption_3-0\" class=\"comp mntl-figure-caption text-utility-100 figure-article-caption\"><span class=\"figure-article-caption-owner\"><\/p>\n<p>Getty Images<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_14-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Balayage means &#8220;to sweep&#8221; in French, so it&#8217;s no surprise that this technique refers to the motion of creating a seamless blend. &#8220;A lot of the times you see this in open air painting; however, it can be done within foils as well,&#8221; says Thompson, who says that balayage often gets confused as a &#8220;look,&#8221; but is actually a technique\u00a0of painting by freehand using a sweeping motion.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_15-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> &#8220;You will look like you have been on the beach for three months,&#8221; says Paglionico. &#8220;This technique is great for someone who is low-maintenance.

This is a good option if you&#8217;re looking for more of a lift in color than hand-painted balayage because the foil allows the hair to get lighter while it&#8217;s wrapped inside.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_20-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> &#8220;This is a great technique for someone who loves the look of a traditional foil highlight but wants the ends to pop like balayage.

This is another low-commitment look, as you can go a while longer between salon visits (roots are key here, so even if they grow out, you won&#8217;t have to race in for a touch-up).\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_24-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Rivera adds that ombr\u00e9 transitions from darker roots to lighter midshaft and even lighter ends, which &#8220;gives the hair a bit more contrast between colors without heavy lines between shades.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_25-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> &#8220;It&#8217;s gradual, but the root is darker and fades into lighter ends.

The resulting look helps to open and brighten your face and is among the most natural because it lightens the hair where it would be naturally lightened by the sun. Plus, as a bonus, it requires much less upkeep than a classic, overall highlight, and looks natural even as it grows out.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_33-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> &#8220;Face-framing highlights are hair sections that are woven into foil\u00a0for a lighter effect around the face. This is a great technique if you&#8217;re not fully ready to commit to overall color,&#8221; says Rivera of the highlight that adds a pop of color around your face.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_34-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Paglionico adds that this highlight &#8220;brightens you up and is great for those who wear their hair back.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"list-sc-item_8-0\" class=\"comp list-sc-item mntl-block\">\n<div id=\"list-marker_8-0\" class=\"comp list-marker\"><span class=\"list-marker__index\">08<\/span><span class=\"list-marker__total\">of 09<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"list-sc-item__content_8-0\" class=\"comp list-sc-item__content mntl-block\">\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_35-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-list-item-title\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> Dimensional <\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"mntl-sc-block_36-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-image--full-width figure-square figure-high-res\">\n<div class=\"figure-media\">\n<div class=\"img-placeholder\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" alt=\"Jennifer Lopez posing against a patterned background\" class=\"lazyload mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" id=\"mntl-sc-block-image_8-0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.byrdie.com\/thmb\/HIifCDB99wyhgt5RYkbn2yT11ZY=\/1500x0\/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)\/jlo-b5b6d27f86304c558672e88822d2c8ac.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.byrdie.com\/thmb\/HIifCDB99wyhgt5RYkbn2yT11ZY=\/1500x0\/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)\/jlo-b5b6d27f86304c558672e88822d2c8ac.png\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" class=\"img--noscript mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" alt=\"Jennifer Lopez posing against a patterned background\"><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption id=\"mntl-figure-caption_8-0\" class=\"comp mntl-figure-caption text-utility-100 figure-article-caption\"><span class=\"figure-article-caption-owner\"><\/p>\n<p>@jlo \/ instagram<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_37-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Dimensional highlights offer more contrast (think dark brown with lighter highlights).

It creates depth and dimension and works great on all hair types.&#8221; Thompson adds that classic highlights start at the\u00a0scalp and require &#8220;slightly more upkeep than balayage or some of the other styles on our list, as they distribute color all over the hair (and therefore roots tend to be more obvious).&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_7-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> All our experts agree that the best way to maintain your highlights is to use a color-safe shampoo and sulfate-free conditioner.

They can be harder to detect as a standalone highlight, but they give the hair more of a shimmer or glow,&#8221; says Thompson. &#8220;Babylights add subtle dimension to your hair and look especially good on natural blonde(s),&#8221; adds Paglionico.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_11-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Rivera emphasizes the importance of using a professional color shampoo and conditioner that will not only &#8220;hydrate and strengthen the hair, but it will also help maintain the longevity of your color.&#8221; She adds: &#8220;I also recommend using a purple shampoo for blondes as this will help combat any unwanted yellow.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"list-sc-item_3-0\" class=\"comp list-sc-item mntl-block\">\n<div id=\"list-marker_3-0\" class=\"comp list-marker\"><span class=\"list-marker__index\">03<\/span><span class=\"list-marker__total\">of 09<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"list-sc-item__content_3-0\" class=\"comp list-sc-item__content mntl-block\">\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_12-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-list-item-title\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> Balayage <\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"mntl-sc-block_13-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-image--full-width figure-square figure-high-res\">\n<div class=\"figure-media\">\n<div class=\"img-placeholder\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" alt=\"Person with long wavy hair in a stylish dress smiling at the camera\" class=\"lazyload mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" id=\"mntl-sc-block-image_3-0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.byrdie.com\/thmb\/wykSOBgiwP7CB-Y8ydQBE8ys0CU=\/1500x0\/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)\/balayage-584cdb0cc60944d5b07643134d418ba0.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.byrdie.com\/thmb\/wykSOBgiwP7CB-Y8ydQBE8ys0CU=\/1500x0\/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)\/balayage-584cdb0cc60944d5b07643134d418ba0.png\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" class=\"img--noscript mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" alt=\"Person with long wavy hair in a stylish dress smiling at the camera\"><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption id=\"mntl-figure-caption_3-0\" class=\"comp mntl-figure-caption text-utility-100 figure-article-caption\"><span class=\"figure-article-caption-owner\"><\/p>\n<p>Getty Images<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_14-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Balayage means &#8220;to sweep&#8221; in French, so it&#8217;s no surprise that this technique refers to the motion of creating a seamless blend. &#8220;A lot of the times you see this in open air painting; however, it can be done within foils as well,&#8221; says Thompson, who says that balayage often gets confused as a &#8220;look,&#8221; but is actually a technique\u00a0of painting by freehand using a sweeping motion.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_15-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> &#8220;You will look like you have been on the beach for three months,&#8221; says Paglionico. &#8220;This technique is great for someone who is low-maintenance.

This is a good option if you&#8217;re looking for more of a lift in color than hand-painted balayage because the foil allows the hair to get lighter while it&#8217;s wrapped inside.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_20-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> &#8220;This is a great technique for someone who loves the look of a traditional foil highlight but wants the ends to pop like balayage.

This is another low-commitment look, as you can go a while longer between salon visits (roots are key here, so even if they grow out, you won&#8217;t have to race in for a touch-up).\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_24-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Rivera adds that ombr\u00e9 transitions from darker roots to lighter midshaft and even lighter ends, which &#8220;gives the hair a bit more contrast between colors without heavy lines between shades.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_25-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> &#8220;It&#8217;s gradual, but the root is darker and fades into lighter ends.

The resulting look helps to open and brighten your face and is among the most natural because it lightens the hair where it would be naturally lightened by the sun. Plus, as a bonus, it requires much less upkeep than a classic, overall highlight, and looks natural even as it grows out.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_33-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> &#8220;Face-framing highlights are hair sections that are woven into foil\u00a0for a lighter effect around the face. This is a great technique if you&#8217;re not fully ready to commit to overall color,&#8221; says Rivera of the highlight that adds a pop of color around your face.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_34-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Paglionico adds that this highlight &#8220;brightens you up and is great for those who wear their hair back.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"list-sc-item_8-0\" class=\"comp list-sc-item mntl-block\">\n<div id=\"list-marker_8-0\" class=\"comp list-marker\"><span class=\"list-marker__index\">08<\/span><span class=\"list-marker__total\">of 09<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"list-sc-item__content_8-0\" class=\"comp list-sc-item__content mntl-block\">\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_35-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-list-item-title\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> Dimensional <\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"mntl-sc-block_36-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-image--full-width figure-square figure-high-res\">\n<div class=\"figure-media\">\n<div class=\"img-placeholder\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" alt=\"Jennifer Lopez posing against a patterned background\" class=\"lazyload mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" id=\"mntl-sc-block-image_8-0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.byrdie.com\/thmb\/HIifCDB99wyhgt5RYkbn2yT11ZY=\/1500x0\/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)\/jlo-b5b6d27f86304c558672e88822d2c8ac.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.byrdie.com\/thmb\/HIifCDB99wyhgt5RYkbn2yT11ZY=\/1500x0\/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)\/jlo-b5b6d27f86304c558672e88822d2c8ac.png\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" class=\"img--noscript mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" alt=\"Jennifer Lopez posing against a patterned background\"><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption id=\"mntl-figure-caption_8-0\" class=\"comp mntl-figure-caption text-utility-100 figure-article-caption\"><span class=\"figure-article-caption-owner\"><\/p>\n<p>@jlo \/ instagram<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_37-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Dimensional highlights offer more contrast (think dark brown with lighter highlights). In other words, you&#8217;re adding dimension to the hair via color.

says Paglionico of traditional highlights, which are versatile and timeless. &#8220;The weave is natural but not fine. It creates depth and dimension and works great on all hair types.&#8221; Thompson adds that classic highlights start at the\u00a0scalp and require &#8220;slightly more upkeep than balayage or some of the other styles on our list, as they distribute color all over the hair (and therefore roots tend to be more obvious).&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_7-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> All our experts agree that the best way to maintain your highlights is to use a color-safe shampoo and sulfate-free conditioner.

They can be harder to detect as a standalone highlight, but they give the hair more of a shimmer or glow,&#8221; says Thompson. &#8220;Babylights add subtle dimension to your hair and look especially good on natural blonde(s),&#8221; adds Paglionico.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_11-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Rivera emphasizes the importance of using a professional color shampoo and conditioner that will not only &#8220;hydrate and strengthen the hair, but it will also help maintain the longevity of your color.&#8221; She adds: &#8220;I also recommend using a purple shampoo for blondes as this will help combat any unwanted yellow.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"list-sc-item_3-0\" class=\"comp list-sc-item mntl-block\">\n<div id=\"list-marker_3-0\" class=\"comp list-marker\"><span class=\"list-marker__index\">03<\/span><span class=\"list-marker__total\">of 09<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"list-sc-item__content_3-0\" class=\"comp list-sc-item__content mntl-block\">\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_12-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-list-item-title\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> Balayage <\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"mntl-sc-block_13-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-image--full-width figure-square figure-high-res\">\n<div class=\"figure-media\">\n<div class=\"img-placeholder\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" alt=\"Person with long wavy hair in a stylish dress smiling at the camera\" class=\"lazyload mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" id=\"mntl-sc-block-image_3-0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.byrdie.com\/thmb\/wykSOBgiwP7CB-Y8ydQBE8ys0CU=\/1500x0\/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)\/balayage-584cdb0cc60944d5b07643134d418ba0.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.byrdie.com\/thmb\/wykSOBgiwP7CB-Y8ydQBE8ys0CU=\/1500x0\/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)\/balayage-584cdb0cc60944d5b07643134d418ba0.png\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" class=\"img--noscript mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" alt=\"Person with long wavy hair in a stylish dress smiling at the camera\"><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption id=\"mntl-figure-caption_3-0\" class=\"comp mntl-figure-caption text-utility-100 figure-article-caption\"><span class=\"figure-article-caption-owner\"><\/p>\n<p>Getty Images<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_14-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Balayage means &#8220;to sweep&#8221; in French, so it&#8217;s no surprise that this technique refers to the motion of creating a seamless blend. &#8220;A lot of the times you see this in open air painting; however, it can be done within foils as well,&#8221; says Thompson, who says that balayage often gets confused as a &#8220;look,&#8221; but is actually a technique\u00a0of painting by freehand using a sweeping motion.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_15-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> &#8220;You will look like you have been on the beach for three months,&#8221; says Paglionico. &#8220;This technique is great for someone who is low-maintenance.

This is a good option if you&#8217;re looking for more of a lift in color than hand-painted balayage because the foil allows the hair to get lighter while it&#8217;s wrapped inside.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_20-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> &#8220;This is a great technique for someone who loves the look of a traditional foil highlight but wants the ends to pop like balayage.

This is another low-commitment look, as you can go a while longer between salon visits (roots are key here, so even if they grow out, you won&#8217;t have to race in for a touch-up).\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_24-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Rivera adds that ombr\u00e9 transitions from darker roots to lighter midshaft and even lighter ends, which &#8220;gives the hair a bit more contrast between colors without heavy lines between shades.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_25-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> &#8220;It&#8217;s gradual, but the root is darker and fades into lighter ends.

The resulting look helps to open and brighten your face and is among the most natural because it lightens the hair where it would be naturally lightened by the sun. Plus, as a bonus, it requires much less upkeep than a classic, overall highlight, and looks natural even as it grows out.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_33-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> &#8220;Face-framing highlights are hair sections that are woven into foil\u00a0for a lighter effect around the face.
