Additionally, the salon will be able to suggest products that will properly care for your locks based on their particular type and characteristics.

Using foil is the most popular method of frequent highlighting. The primary coloring stages are as follows:
- the hair is divided into several parts, the one that will be worked with is left loose, and the rest are collected and pinned with clips so as not to interfere;
- in the working area, the master works with strands one by one, dividing each at the roots (with the tail of the comb) into thinner strands. You can use a special comb for highlighting, which immediately divides the strand into two parts;
- After separating a strand, the hairdresser places foil under it, after which he applies a bleaching dye to the hair (at home, this can be, for example, E0 "Decolorant" from Garnier Color Sensation or E0 "Super Blonde" from Garnier Color Naturals);
- then the dyed strand is wrapped in foil and all the steps are repeated on the following strands;
- after the time required for the dye to stay on the hair has passed (the manufacturer usually provides this information in the instructions), the foil is removed and the dye is thoroughly washed off the hair;
- sometimes the lightened strands are tinted. To achieve the most natural effect, you can tint all your hair. Ammonia-free dyes can also cope with this task (for a home procedure, you can take, for example, No. 8031 "Light blond golden ash" from Casting Crème Gloss, L"Oréal Paris);
- the final stage is care. It is selected individually, depending on the characteristics and urgent needs of your curls.
The dyeing process appears to be fairly simple on the outside. In actuality, frequent highlighting is a time-consuming and labor-intensive technique. If you entrust your hair to skilled professionals, the outcome will live up to your expectations.

How to care for hair after highlighting?
Hair requires additional daily care after frequent highlighting. Treatments at the salon are fantastic, but don’t overlook at-home hygiene. Shampoo and conditioner are the primary characters. They ought to take care of the hair and preserve the color’s brightness. For instance, the "Color Expert" line of shampoo, conditioner, and mask from L’Oréal Paris Elseve has a lamination effect that lets you preserve the color for up to ten weeks.
Blond hair may eventually take on an undesirable yellow tint. Elseve L’Oréal Paris’s purple shampoo and mask are prepared to counteract it. Such products will help blond hair keep its cool tone.
Because bleaching damages curls, they require a high-nutrient diet. Use Garnier Fructis "Triple Restoration" oil-elixir "Transformation" to help with the issue of dry strands after frequent highlighting. It smoothes and nourishes hair, giving it back its lustrous sheen.
Use Garnier Botanic Therapy’s cream-oil with propolis and royal jelly for heat protection. Before using heat styling, apply the product to your hair to protect it from the damaging effects of temperatures as high as 230 °C.
Particularly weakened hair is more likely to break. Day after day, Kiehl’s leave-in cream with olive oil fortifies hair and gets rid of dryness.
