The babylight wicks are the wicks fashion. They have been part of our hairdressing vocabulary for some time but it is possible that, although you have heard their name a thousand times, you are still not entirely clear about what this technique consists of or how it would suit you specifically. From now on we anticipate that they will look good on you yes or yes because they favor everyone and they can also be worn in any hair tone.
What are babylight highlights and how are they made?
Babylight highlights try to imitate the effect that the sun leaves, especially on children's hair, during the summer. This is when fine highlights tend to appear, lighter than the base tone, distributed throughout the hair. The front locks, being always the most exposed, get lighter, as well as the ends due to wear.
How did you manage to replicate this effect in the hairdresser? Well, the same method is followed as to create the other most famous highlights of the moment, the balayage highlights, that is, they are made with a sweep that goes from the root to the tip and gradually lightens but only up to two tones. In this way, the face is illuminated and the hair rejuvenated, but without radically transforming it. They are not going to ask you if you have done something to your hair but they are going to tell you that you have 'the handsome raised'.
Who can do babylight highlights? Do they favor everyone?
Initially, it is a type of coloring that is designed for brown hair, which are the ones that usually present blonde reflections due to the action of the sun. However, with the passage of time it has been adapted to other hair colors so that today anyone, from brunettes to redheads, can make babylight highlights. The key will always be to lighten between one and two tones, no more, and that can be done starting from any color range.
Do you have dyed hair? Well, you can also do the babylight highlights. In fact, it is the best thing you can do to make your hair look much more natural than leaving the flat color of the dye on your hair. Shades always add realism to any coloring. Your stylist may prefer to apply the dye in one visit and the highlights a few days later.
You can wear babylight highlights in caramel tone if your hair is dark brown, blonde if your base is light brown, chestnut if you are brunette and copper if you have red hair. However, several shades can also be combined to give greater realism. Check out these lovely examples for inspiration.
If I do the babylight highlights, how do I take care of my hair?
Babylight highlights do not require much more specific care than any other type of coloring, in fact, by not lightening the hair too much, they are less aggressive and require less maintenance than others . Special attention must be paid to the ends, which are the ones that may have the greatest difference in color with respect to the natural tone of the hair. Apply moisturizing masks once or twice a week, conditioner the rest of the times you wash your hair, shampoos that preserve color and an oil after showering on the ends.
The good thing about these highlights is that you can do them once and forget about touch-ups for several months because even if the root grows, being so subtle, you don't notice that ugly effect that other types of colorations leave behind. If in addition to the babylight highlights you have it dyed, then you will have to follow the usual routine of visits to the hairdresser and it would be your stylist who will tell you when to touch dye and when to touch up the highlights.
