There is a new trend in highlights that is causing a sensation. It started in Barcelona, but everything indicates that it is going to expand little by little. Goodbye balayage highlights, hello woodlights. Gradient color effects, however subtle, are draining its success. After years of transition between Californians and babylights, it seems that we are getting tired of wearing the manes with a worn out look. It is true that these highlights gave a lot of light to the hair and also to the face, but more and more we are opting for more natural finishes and yes, also more classic, in the form of highlights that illuminate, but being more realistic .
What are woodlights highlights?
The origin of the name is because they are reminiscent of the grain of wood. Its essence is the alternation of colors without gradient that illuminates the hair, lightening it in a subtle but evident way. And all this with a type of organic and PPD-free coloring that takes care of the hair, but leaves a long-lasting and shiny pigment, one of the great forgotten in other types of coloring.
Where do I get the woodlights?
At the hair salon that invented them, Vanitas Espai, where they are experts in correcting color disasters perpetrated at home or in other disreputable salons. In fact, the before and after photos of her clients' hair that they share on their Instagram profile are amazing. In addition, from what we have seen on Instagram as well, Antonela Roccuzzo and Elena Galera are already assiduous to these highlights.
How are they made? Well, alternating wick and hue to correct the color only where necessary. Another positive point is that the woodlights can be worn by anyone, even if you are a brunette, because their coloration does not leave that unattractive orange effect that others leave in this type of hair.
Of course, if you already have too damaged hair, it is better that you let it grow or heal it before considering resorting to this type of highlights.
