    Awww bless i should imagine you are :A, i have never coloured my hair, whats the difference between highlights and low lights? Can you not have another colour put on?
    HILLBERN wrote: »
    Highlights are lighter than your hair colour whereas low lights are darker..therefore when I then started to have the odd strand of grey I had lowlight put in to give colour...
    I could have another colour but don't fancy having it done every 4 weeks ish....at the moment my hair is a pretty silvery colour with a nice shine:)

    Highlights uses BLEACH to remove colour from your hair - to lighten it. Lowlights uses colour to add colour to your hair
    The end is nigh

    I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it. :)

    yes often bleach is used...but if the colour that is put on is a lighter shade than the base colour then that is a highlight:)
    or that is what I am lead to believe...
    years ago I use to have bleach, but then mesh was used then a blonde colour, but in more recent years honey blonde or light brown mixed with blonde
