Techniques for Halo Highlights Now that we have tickled your fancy with the halo hair color trend let’s dig into the nitty-gritty of the techniques that’ll make you the spotlight-stealer at your next soirée. But don’t worry; mastering the halo highlight technique isn’t as daunting as it may seem. Pffft, piece of cake, darling! So grab your cape (and hairstylist), and let’s get started. One of the most essential things regarding halo highlights is achieving a subtle root color. After all, halo highlights are all about subtlety and grace! (cough) Unlike some people, we know. So to channel that natural-goddess look, ensure the highlights at the roots are soft and not too bold. Start gently at the root and gradually increase in intensity as you move down the hair. Speaking of the gradual increase in intensity, we must talk about the thickening towards the ends, dear reader. One of the hallmarks of the halo hair color trend is the gradual thickening of the highlights from the roots to the ends, giving the illusion of a radiant, ethereal glow. This means you or your hairstylist should focus on blending the highlight into your natural hair color ever so slightly at the roots but pack a punch at the tips! Ah, and last but certainly not least, let’s talk about toning for a soft root area. The pièce de résistance in halo highlight techniques ensures that your root area isn’t screaming “LOOK AT ME!” amidst your heavenly halo glow. So to avoid having a siren on your scalp, it’s imperative to tone your roots gently and achieve that ideal softness. After all, angels don’t have neon halos, do they? And there you have it! With these three techniques under your fabulous belt, you’ll be nailing the halo highlight trend like a pro in no time. Don’t forget to share your hallowed secrets with your friends, because what’s a halo highlight goddess without her admiring worshippers, am I right? Maintenance and Care for Halo-Colored Hair Let’s talk about the “halo haircare holy trinity” – washing, heat styling, and touch-ups, because keeping your heavenly halo highlights intact is of utmost importance, right? Trust me, it’s easier than it sounds! On the washing and conditioning front, treat your halo-colored hair like a delicate (but fabulous) silk blouse. Opt for sulfate-free shampoos and extra-hydrating conditioners to prolong the halo hue. Just like your ex, keep things low-heated with styling tools. Protect those divine strands by using heat protectant sprays and not cranking your flat iron up to a fiery inferno – we all know the “burning ring of fire” doesn’t sound heavenly in any context. As for touch-ups, it’s more like a “we’ll-see-each-other-when-I-want-to” relationship, right? Halo highlights are pretty low-maintenance (unlike your ex), so touching up every 8-12 weeks should suffice. Voilà is the secret sauce for maintaining your angelic, halo-colored hair!
