Creating Natural-Looking Hair Highlights

Natural-looking hair highlights should not be difficult to create as long as you keep in mind a few key principles. Follow them and you will be able to get Jennifer Aniston’s famous highlights.

1. Not everything will work for you. You need to work with your own color. The foundation of all natural looks is choose the tones that you were born with. You need to enhance the color you already have. This have one added benefit – when roots begin to appear, you’ll need less maintenance.

2. Take into account your eyes. The most flattering highlights are those that play up the face. You need to find a color that will bring out your eyes and softens your features. You will accomplish two goals with brighter color near the temples – they look natural and frame the face at the same time.

3. To create most natural-looking hair highlights, your priority should be brightness, not lightness. When doing your hair, tell your colorist not to work with big hair chunks but with thin groupings of hair.

4. The best way to get natural-looking hair highlights is using foils. This produces better results than the hand-painted balayage technique. It gives more control.
