Dyeing one’s hair comes with a whole set of opportunities and we all have different preferences when it comes to creating our perfect look. Highlights and lowlights are both great ways to add some more depth and dimension to your beautiful hair. So, let’s break down the two so that you can make a calculated decision and choose the most suitable option for your hair.

Highlights are essentially strands of hair that are lighter than your natural colour. So for example, if you have chocolate brown hair colour, you could always go for some light brown or blonde highlights depending on your preference. There are various techniques when it comes to highlighting your hair. There’s the orthodox approach of using foils and isolating bits of your hair and there’s also a technique called balayage where you hand paint different strands of your hair to attain a more blended in look. Highlights are a good way to add depth, texture and shine to your hair and are definitely more convenient than getting your whole hair dyed. If you’re looking to brighten up your face while also aiming for a more sun-kissed glow to your hair, look no further.

Lowlights on the other hand are one to two shades darker than your base colour. The main aim of this trend is to add natural-looking volume by creating invisible looking shadows that contribute to a huge difference. Lowlights are suitable for all hair types ranging from curly to straight. They’ll either have a relatively subtle effect or a stark one depending on your base colour. Lowlights are a great choice for ladies with blonde hair looking to switch to a darker look and even brunettes who want to add a bit more contrast to their hair. Unlike highlights, lowlights lighten less quickly in the sunlight so if you’re looking to dye your hair in the summer, we’d recommend this trend. Experts believe that lowlights are relatively friendly to your hair as this method of dyeing involves a semi-permanent or permanent hair dye whereas highlights are done first through bleaching your base colour. However, if you still prefer highlights over lowlights, it’s advisable to treat your hair with some good protectants like Samsol Coconut oil or any other hair mask.

It must be noted that the methodology to achieve lowlights or highlights is the same. They can both be applied through foils adopting a more traditional approach or through freehand painting. The key difference is the shade; lowlights take your base colour up a few notches while for highlights you need to use a bleaching agent to lift and lighten the base colour. Both are wonderful options to add a bit more spice and glamour to your hair. If you’re looking to amp things up a bit without totally revamping your hair, we’d suggest you go for either of these two options. With both options, we’d recommend not to go three shades lighter or darker as this will help you create a more polished look.

Samsol hair dyes come in a vast variety of colours so whether it’s a blonde shade you’re looking for or natural brown, we have it all. We recommend you consult a stylist to get a more professional opinion about what would look best on your hair. If you desire to get the best of both worlds, it is definitely possible to get highlights and lowlights at the same time. You’ll get the soft, feminine look created by highlights as well as the shadowy contrast brought about by lowlights. At the end of the day, it all boils down to your personality and unique taste. Always choose the style that speaks the most to you. We hope our tips and suggestions have been useful to you.

For those of you who want a bold yet classy look, we recommend getting bold bangs. These work with a vast variety of styles especially long layers and shags.

This new year some of you might be thinking of revolutionising your style and as you all know giving your hair a complete makeover is an integral part of it. In this fast-paced world, most of us don’t get the time to go to a salon and get our hair coloured. Worry not, we have some tips and tricks we can share with you that’ll help you dye your hair like a professional!

Choose the right shade

First off, it’s essential that you choose the right colour. We all have different preferences when it comes to that. Going for a bold colour is completely fine as long as it complements your skin tone. If you have pale skin go for colours with warmer tones. Conversely, for people with olive to darker skin tones, ashy or cooler shades would work better. If you have long hair, we recommend you buy two boxes to cover your entire head.

Do a patch test

Although Samsol hair dyes have hair-friendly ingredients infused into them, we still recommend you do a patch test. Put a small amount of dye on the back of your ear or inner side of elbow to make sure it doesn’t react with your skin. If there’s no allergic reaction for 24 hours, you’re good to go!

Keep your hairline clean

The stain-free formula of Samsol Hair Colour keeps the skin around your hairline free from being stained with colour.

Detangle your hair

Brushing your hair and keeping it untangled before the process is an obvious point but one that’s sometimes overlooked. It’s best to make a note of this simple yet important step. Some knots may affect your perfect hair dyeing experience so keep your hair free of tangles before starting the procedure.

Section your hair

We recommend you section your hair into 4 parts- from the top to the middle and then from ear to ear across the crown.

Dye Application

Samsol hair dyes have gloves in the pack. Follow the instructions mentioned on the box; mix the dye with the developer using an applicator. Always start at the roots when dyeing your whole hair a different colour as this area needs a longer time for the colour to develop. After that, we recommend you dye the front sections as they’re the most visible. Then apply the dye on the back section and viola you’re done!

Wash your hair properly

First rinse your hair with water and then apply Samsol Egg shampoo and conditioner to your hair. Blow-dry your hair to see immediate results. We’re confident you’ll be satisfied after using Samsol hair dyes.

Samsol has launched six shades in its fashion range. Whether you’re going for a mahogany look or whether it’s mocha, Samsol has it all!
