5 ways to get rid of hair highlights
Are you longing for a hair transformation, a fresh canvas for a new look? The time may have come to bid farewell to those once-beloved highlights and embrace a different, exciting path for your hair. Be it a style change, color correction, or simply a desire to return to your natural roots, here are some methods you can try to get rid of highlights.
Tone your hair
This can be a fantastic choice for you if your highlighted hair is only a shade or two lighter than your natural color. A demi-permanent hair color called toner is applied to the hair to adjust undesirable tones or lightness. It can give you a gorgeous, multi-dimensional hair color by darkening your highlights on lightened hair.
Add lowlights
Whether your hair is dyed or natural, lowlights can enhance your overall look, as they can be up to three shades darker than your hair color. Strategically adding lowlights to highlights, can infuse your hair with depth, imparting a rich and nuanced dimension to your blonde hair rather than erasing the highlights. Incorporating lowlights can create the illusion of fuller and thicker hair.
Shadow root or color melt
The shadow root technique adds depth to the base and root area of your hair. It achieves this by using "color melts" to darken and add depth to your hair's mid-lengths and roots. A shadow root not only elegantly blends the color but also concentrates depth at the base, reducing the prominence of highlights in the root area.
Cut off the highlights
Trimming away the highlights not only gives you a stylish new haircut but also boosts the immediate appearance of healthier hair. It eliminates any previous damage, and you won't have to deal with color-depositing glosses or conditioners later because the highlights will be gone. The extent to which your highlights are grown out will determine how much hair you will need to cut.
Dye hair with a permanent color
Dyeing your entire hair with a permanent color is one of the easiest ways to get rid of all of your highlights without cutting them. Furthermore, permanent dyes have a longer shelf life than glosses and toners. In contrast to a gloss, permanent color is applied quickly and effectively, and it won't fade when you wash your hair.
