Question: Have you ever heard of halo highlights? How are they done?

Answer: This high light is more effective on layered hair that is four to six inches length.

Take care over the sectioning as this determines the finished result. First, take a clean section at the crown and grip the hair up as this section will not be high lighted.

Trace a parting from the centre back and another across the top of the head from ear to ear, this creates four basic sections for highlighting; the fifth is a the front. According to the size of the client’s head, it may be necessary to divide into slightly larger sections but I would generally recommend taking 2 inch wide sections.

Begin highlighting the ends of the hair on the right side of the back. Taking fine sections, weave approximately 12 highlight from the roots of the hair. Place aluminum foil underneath the highlights pulling the foil down to the last 2 inches of the hair. Apply the bleach or tint and fold the foil into parcels. Continue in this way, working towards the crown and making sure that one highlight is not overlapping another. Repeat on the left side of the back, then the left side of the head, the right side of the head and finally, the front section.

When processing is complete, begin removing the foils from the first sections. Rinse and conditioning thoroughly before styling.
