If you haven’t yet heard of the latest trend in hair coloring techniques, we’re here to ease the suspense. The newest craze, known as twilighting is one of the top trends to watch for in 2020. Sorry folks, there’s no reference to Robert Pattinson or Kristen Stewart here. However, as one of the best salons in New Hampshire, our team at Aidan James Salon is excited to bring you this innovative blend of well-known techniques.
It’s all about the combo
Twilighting is a combination of balayage and babylights which result in a highly dimensional, but natural look. If you’re not familiar with balayage, it’s a painting technique used to create highlights throughout the hair. The way these highlights are applied creates a natural, multi-tonal finish.
Babylights are superfine highlights applied with conventional foiling methods. However, contrary to traditional foiling, babylights are low maintenance since they’re super-fine. When babylights and balayage are combined, the result is a perfect balance of golden hues.
The benefits of twilighting
The goal of twilighting is making highlights look natural yet bold. While this may seem very similar to balayage, the addition of foiling allows “bold” to enter into play. Unlike straight foiling that focuses from root to end, the introduction of balayage breaks up the sometimes monotonous repetition of the foils. Thus, each technique complements the other exceptionally well when combined.
Dimension is key
The best salons in New Hampshire know that dimension is in. The best way to achieve this, you guessed it, by mixing highlighting techniques. While you’ll want to brighten around the face, the back of the hair is best to flaunt that depth. Twilighting is one of the best, most natural ways to warm up your current color for the upcoming spring season.
