40 Ideas of Blonde Hairstyles With Lowlights

Most women tend to want lighter hair than what nature gave them. However, there are blonds that are looking for ways to darken their hair with lowlights. Whether you are a natural blond or dyed your hair blonde and now want a change, lowlights can be your answer.

While blonde hair color will never lose its popularity, light blonde hues are not as mainstream as before. Women are exploring darker colors and enjoying them. Ombres and balayage are actually created to take the lightness out of the hair as much as possible.

Lowlights are gaining popularity for the same reason. So if you are looking for something new and stylish for your blonde locks, consider lowlights.

 

How to Add Lowlights to Blonde Hair

After checking out the styles below (decide which color you like or how light to how dark). While you can choose to have them evenly placed around your hair for an overall lightness, it’s a popular choice to focus lowlights near the front of the face for particular emphasis; just study a few looks and decide what you want your overall look to be.

It is best to see a stylist for adding lowlights since we all know DIY-ing your hair can often turn out badly, but if you’re feeling brave, go for it! After mixing developer with the color’s liquid, you or your stylist will “paint” it on your hair in small sections about 1/8 inch wide starting from underneath the hair and working up in levels. Paint from the root to the ends, being sure to saturate the hair completely.

After painting on the mixture in each small section of hair, you’ll fold it in foil. There should be between 3/4 to an inch between each section of hair you add lowlights to. When your whole head is done, wait for 10 minutes, then peek at a section of hair before unwrapping all the foils and washing your hair. Be sure to use a conditioner to add moisture back in to your locks!
