How to Do Auburn Highlights on Hair

First, you need to make sure that your colored hair was not done a long time back. Say, you colored your hair to auburn less than a week ago and you are considering getting highlights, do so within the first 6 weeks of the treatment.

However, if you are set on getting auburn hair with highlights, then you can discuss it with your professional and go for a look that you have in mind. If you are getting the color done at home, all you need are a few safety towels, hand gloves, your preferred color, foil paper, clips, and wet wipes.

Firstly, separate your hair into segments where you want just the auburn hair and further separate it to where you want your highlights, if you are going for dark highlights such as copper or chocolate brown or if you are considering getting an elegant balayage then you can do the colors at the same time. If you want lighter highlights such as gold or blonde then we suggest you wait for a few days until the first color sets in.

Once you separate your hair into segments, work on dividing them conveniently with clips and set aside. Wear your protective gloves and remove one clip at a time followed by placing a foil paper for that segment of your hair. Apply your auburn shade carefully on your hair and cover with another piece of foil paper. Repeat the process until all the auburn segments are done.
