Do different kinds of hair highlights have different names?
Wow. Ok first of all highlights, definition: “coloring some of the hair strands lighter than the natural or all over color to add the illusion of sheen and depth. They do not generally contrast strongly with the natural or all over color of the hair.” So there are ways that we achieve this “special effect”. One way is WEAVING, one is SLICING and another is BALAYAGE or free form. The technique/terminology most commonly used in salons is WEAVING. So when you go to have your hair done say that you want a WEAVE. That should lead your stylist to ask you “how much of a weave do you want?” Then you can discuss how much of your head you want covered. Face frame only, partial-weave, partial/partial weave, or full weave. This will also determine your cost. I charge less for a partial/partial weave than for a full weave. Then discuss the SIZE of the weave. Chunky/heavy/thick, light/natural/thin, or somewhere in between. You can also ask for LOW-LIGHTS or a REVERSE WEAVE which would be alternating
