You’ve heard of highlights, I’m sure you’ve heard of lowlights, but what about babylights?
Babylights aren’t just highlights - they’re so much more. Using ultra-fine, delicate foils, babylights mimic the brightness of naturally sun-kissed hair, similar to children’s hair. They’re designed to look natural - they’re perfect for individuals who are looking to change their hair, but want to ensure that it keeps a natural look.
So, how do you know if babylights are suited for your goals?
You Have Fine Hair and Are Looking for a Slight Change
Babylights can be a wonderful place to start if you’re looking for a slight chance or refresh to your hair. For individuals with fine hair, babylights are a perfect option as they create depth and dimension when added to the area around your crown and hairline. Depending on the way they are used, babylights can be quicker to process. Quicker process = less damage, which can be harmful to fine, thin hair.
Industry expert Rita Hazan, colorist and founder of New York City’s renowned Rita Hazan Salon told Allure, “fine hair is the best for babylights because it is a subtle technique, but delivers high impact. Thicker and coarser hair requires more of a heavier highlight to be visible.”
You Want Your Hair to Have a Natural, Blended Effect
Because babylights are designed to mimic the natural highlights you often see in children’s hair, we strategically lighten delicate, small sections of hair when performing babylight services rather than lightening larger sections of hair that we typically would when completing highlight services. As we mentioned, babylights can be applied around your crown and hairline, but we can also apply them throughout your entire head to achieve very bright results, typically mimicking an all-over blonde result. These results will still look natural, and the amount of babylights applied can be tailored to achieve your desired look and goals.
Although babylights are designed to look natural, they still require upkeep just like any other hair service. The amount of upkeep varies depending upon the number applied and your desired results. We will establish a hair care plan together to ensure that you feel confident and well-equipped to keep up with your babylights following your service, along with a plan for booking your next appointment.
Depth and Dimension are Your Goals
If you are looking for a way to add depth and dimension to your hair, babylights can help you achieve that goal. Our stylists utilize toner and smudge to create a smooth, elegant finish to ensure the babylights look blended. The precise distribution of the babylights creates dimension throughout your hair.
