Can you give yourself Lowlights?
If you plan to do many small sections of lowlights, use small strips of foil to section off hair as you dye it with different colors. Place the foil under the hair. Brush the dye from root to tip and fold the foil. Keep the dye on the strands for the indicated time, then remove and rinse.
How do you ask for Lowlights?
Ask your colourist the number one thing that their clients ask for and they’ll probably say something along the lines of “I want it to look natural.” The last thing most of us want is for our hair to look like it’s dyed and to do this you’ll need a blend of both highlights and lowlights.
Can I put Lowlights in my own hair?
