What is highlight?

Before going into the details, Apostore would help you clarify the concept of “highlight”. In fact, highlight, for a long time, has become a very familiar word to many people, especially the young. The trend of having a highlight dye has therefore ranked as one of the leading trends among many reliable hair salons. However, the truth is that not all can understand and know exactly what it is.

 

The operating principle of highlight dye is the process of oxidation which helps remove your own natural hair color. This method is a perfect option if you are looking for a lighter shade for your hair color. In a highlight hairstyle, there will be some hair strands that are brighter than others, which creates a very dynamic look for women. Basically, the final result of the highlighting process is a yellow tint, allowing some part of your hair to be outstanding.

What is a semi-permanent hair color?

Actually, you can understand a semi-permanent hair color as a temporary hair color which can give you a much more natural look. Even when you are just a newcomer, this hair color can easily be achieved.

Semi-permanent hair color does not contain peroxide so instead of making the hair lighter, it enables the hair to be darker. Its own name “semi-permanent” expresses that this hair color can only last about six to twelve shampoos. The main reason for this short longevity is that the color only remains in the outermost layer of the hair.

If you are having a passion for a more shining hairstyle but for some reasons such as you are shy, you are not ready enough or you are afraid of a new change, semi-permanent hair color will immediately appear as the best choice.
