Twilight have an advantage to take into account . Surely on more than one occasion you have thought that you are lazy to join the color trends because you have to spend every so often going to the hairdresser to maintain it. Well, this technique breaks with that topic. They are highlights that are applied in a very subtle way and that do not start from the root. This makes them last much longer as the weeks go by and if you want to touch them up you won't have to go to the hairdresser until about three months after having them done . A good reason to join them!

In addition, this technique that is beginning to be a trend in hairdressers and that some actresses like Keira Knightley use is perfect if what you want is to give volume to your hair.

If you have light brown hair you can also join this type of highlights. In this case, they will continue to be super natural if you choose a gold that is close to the tone of the base. Jessica Alba looks great. It is in a base color like that of the actress where the limit is. Because if the base is blonde or red, they are no longer natural and the effect that characterizes them is lost.
