Ladies, we’ve all been there—staring in the mirror, wondering if it’s time to brighten things up. Maybe you’re feeling like your hair has lost its spark, or perhaps those grays are making more appearances than you’d prefer. Adding dimension and a natural glow to your look with highlights can be achieved in several ways. But before you reach for that box dye, let’s talk about why your hair deserves the care of a professional.
The Art of Highlights
Adding dimension isn’t just about lighter strands; it’s about enhancing your features, complementing your natural tones, and creating a customized look that suits your style. A skilled stylist considers your skin tone, face shape, and lifestyle to craft a look that will seamlessly blend with your base color. When done correctly, this technique can add a youthful, sun-kissed effect that makes your hair look vibrant and healthy.
While we don’t condone a DIY box color, we have three strong words for this… “Just Say No!”. Don’t want to go through the salon hassle? No problem, that’s where Concihairge comes in. Our in-home salon services bring a licensed stylist directly to your door, ensuring you get expertly applied color without ever stepping foot in a salon—or risking stripes like a zebra. No mess, no stress—just stunning, personalized results that enhance your natural beauty. Let us handle the hard work while you relax in the comfort of your own home.
Types of Highlights: Cheater, Partial, and Full?
When it comes to dimensional color, you have options—and knowing which type suits your hair goals can make all the difference. Let’s break down the most common types:
- Cheater Highlights: Perfect for a subtle refresh, cheater highlights add just a few pops of brightness around your face. They’re low-maintenance and an ideal choice for first-timers or anyone wanting a quick glow-up. Given the affordability and short amount of time needed to touch up cheater highlights many women have these retouched with every haircut or single process color (approx 6 weeks) to keep the hair around their face bright.”
- Partial Highlights: These add dimension to the top layer of your hair, focusing on the crown and sides around your face. Partial highlights offer a noticeable change while keeping a natural, sun-kissed appearance. They’re great for adding dimension without a drastic transformation. Unless a partial highlight is applied with a “lived-in look” most clients have their partial highlights touched up every 8-12 weeks. Some of them even substitute a “cheater highlight” every 6 weeks.
- Full Highlights: Ready to go all in? Full highlights involve lightening sections throughout your entire head for an all-over brightening effect. Whether you’re going for a bold blonde or a soft, multidimensional brunette, full highlights are your go-to for a dramatic change. Given the time and cost associated with full highlights we find that most clients will only schedule this service 1-2 times per year. Keeping their roots freshly lightened in between by either a partial or cheater highlight service every 6-12 weeks in between.

Maintenance Tips for Gorgeous Highlights
Once your highlights are done, maintaining them is key. Here’s how to keep them looking fresh:
- Invest in Color-Safe Shampoo and Conditioner – Sulfate-free products will help protect your color – keeping your color vibrant longer.
- Limit Heat Styling – Too much heat can fade your color. When you do style, always use a heat protectant prior to applying heat and turn the heat down to 350*.
- Schedule Regular Touch-Ups – Highlights grow out naturally, but periodic touch-ups will keep your color seamless.
- Protect from the Sun – UV rays can dull your highlights. A UV protectant spray and stylish hat are your best friend.
