In the ever-changing world of hair color, staying up to date is helpful. Here at Haste Urban Hair Spa, we are excited to introduce you to Air Touch highlights. It is a hair coloring trend that everyone’s talking about.
Forget those strong lines or even thick highlights; airy lights are sure to brighten up your hair and bring out your natural glow. The new hair coloring technique gives you a soft and smooth look with a shimmering effect like sunlight in your hair.
Whether you want to change your color or something different, Air Touch highlights might be for you.
What Are Air Touch Highlights? Pros and Cons
Air Touch highlights is a new coloring technique that adds fine, micro-highlights to your hair. The coloring technique forms a light yet soft effect, unlike your traditional highlights, which are bolder.
When we place airy lights on your hair, we blend them carefully with the natural hair color. The technique will help the hair grow out softly while adding brightness without it looking overdone or fake.
The results are fantastic; it looks airy and bright, making it feel natural. We can even customize your airy lights by choosing where and how thick they should be, with the color of your choice to match your hair type and skin tone.
Whether you want a bold change or a sun-kissed look, Air Touch highlights can complement your style. During the process, we use a blow dryer to help blow out your shorter hairs into sections.
So, we will only highlight your longer, healthier hair.
Advantages of Airy Lights
One of the main benefits is that the color blends in seamlessly with your natural hair color using one process.
So, you don’t need a root shadow, as we naturally separate the hair instead of weaving it. The best part is that it’s healthier for your hair, as only your longer hair will be colored, not your shorter hair.
Hence, it offers low maintenance with a live-in look and is much healthier for your hair.
Disadvantages of Airy Lights
The main disadvantage of air lights is that they take longer to apply. Why, as each time you pick up the blow dryer and then set it down, you add time.
Furthermore, it will also take longer than teasing or weaving, as you keep a comb in your hair during these techniques.
Lastly, the method is not suitable for all hair types, as it can be challenging to perform on curly hair and is generally best for straight or wavy hair.
How We Do Air Touch Highlights
By now, you know that we will use a blow dryer to blow out the shorter hair, highlighting the longer hair. Still, there are some tips to keep in mind, especially if you want to try it yourself:
- When you hold your hair lower, the darker it will be in the section.
- While the higher you hold your hair, the more hair you will highlight.
- We prefer applying the bleach on top of the foil, but you can also start at the lower end.
- Furthermore, using a nozzle attached to your blow dryer helps direct the airflow.
- Once you blow and pull out the shorter hair, place your foil on top of it.
- We recommend using a paddle or board to keep your sections organized for even application.
Recommended Products To Use
We recommend using the following products to help color the hair:
- A highlighting comb
- Invest in a rat-tail color brush and a large color brush.
- Get a highlight board with small and large foils.
- Depending on your hair color, choose a coloring shampoo suitable for your hair.
- Have a detangling brush, spray, boar round brush, and a hair dryer on hand.
Still, instead of trying the Air Touch highlights at home, you can leave it in the capable hands of our stylists at the hair wellness spa.
