A freehand highlighting technique where colour is painted onto the hair to create a soft, natural gradient. Also achieved by backcombing with foils to create soft, blended transitions from dark to light.  This method adds depth at the roots and creates a natural, dimensional look with brighter ends.

Applying highlights to specific sections of the hair, typically the top, crown, and sides, to create dimension and brightness.  This technique  focusses on the most visible areas for a fresh, lifted effect.

A technique where darker shades are applied to the hair, typically at the roots and throughout the mid-lengths, to create depth and contrast,  It enhances the natural colour while giving the hair a rich, dimensional look, often used to add warmth or reduce brightness in previously lightened hair.
