Moonlights are a mashup between low-level, vibranthighlightsand balayage.
This technique is generally done without foil.
Its different from balayage because the effects are much more subtle.
The goal is to add some lightness from the mid-lengths to the ends without being too intense.
The result is a striking, glowing effect reminiscent of moonlight, rather than the sun-kissed finish of balayage.
Which Hair Colors Look Best With Moonlights?
Moonlights work well on most hair colors since the idea is to just subtly lighten things up a bit.
Those with ultra-light hairthink platinum blondes or tinsel beautiesprobably wont get the same effect.
Meanwhile, brunettes and dark blondes will probably enjoy this hair painting technique the most.
So, its perfect for brunettes who want dimension in their hair but do not want to become blonde.
He adds that moonlights also work across all hair textures.
In wavy or curly hair, it adds a nice subtle boost and gorgeous dimension.
How to Maintain Moonlights
Maintaining moonlights requires a similar approach to caring for bleached or dyed hair.
Korab says youll want to stick to color-safe (and ideally sulfate-free) products designed to preserve your color.
Also be mindful of how much youre heat styling to prevent excessive wear and tear on your strands.
Talk with your stylist.
You could decide to do it again, or not.
You could simply just let it grow out.
And the good news is, it will have a very natural grow-out process.
