What are flash highlights?

A flash highlight is when you brighten up the colour of a strip of hair to create a feature look. You can have just one highlighted strip of hair or you can add a few flash highlights to your look for a more dramatic effect. The highlights can be made using dye or, for an instant aesthetic, you can use a hair attachment. The benefit of a hair attachment is that it can be easily removed. This allows you to have a flash highlight in your hair when you’re out and about and then remove it, or change its colour, when you want something different.

Why have highlights?

Highlights can accentuate your hair cut, complement your complexion and add a little visual interest to your look. More affordable than changing the colour of a full head of hair, highlights are a quick, easy and stylish way to alter your look on a budget.

Choosing the colour of your flash highlights

Flash highlights are available in a great choice of colours. You can opt for a natural shade so that it blends in with your or you can choose something a little different and really liven up your look. Purple, red and plum flash highlights can look fantastic with all hair colours.

If you are thinking of choosing a stand out colour, it’s a good idea to opt for a hair attachment rather than dye. This will allow you to remove the highlight when you want to return to your original look or change the colour of the flash highlight. These types of hair attachments are very affordable and are quick and easy to put in place. Simply clip the attachment into your hair and you’ll instantly transform your look. Always invest in attachments made from human hair as these will look more natural and and allow heated styling tools to be used on them.
