Last time you had highlights and now you are due to do your regrowth again but don’t want to ruin the existing highlights. So, how can you protect the highlights while coloring hair?
How to Protect Highlights When Coloring Hair
There is a couple of options when it comes to redoing your regrowth without ruining the highlights.
Option 1
When you want to redo your regrowth color, but wish to keep highlights, you can actually just color over the regrowth. Do this with a hair color brush very carefully.
Firstly, divide your hair into 4 sections.
Secondly, paint the color onto the whole hairline around the hair, as this usually has the strongest and most color resistant hair, (and or greys), only covering just the hair that requires recoloring, not onto the last color.
Thirdly, choose one of the front sections and work your way from the center of the hair towards the ear taking sections of half a centimeter each. When you are sectioning and color like this you need to also color both sides of the sectioned piece of hair to ensure good coverage of all of the hair.
When the first front section is completed, move onto the second front section, with exactly the same method. Following the application of the front sections, move on to complete the rear sections also.
The reason you do the front first is that it usually contains the most greys and stubborn hair and color is heat activated and there’s a lot more heat to help from the back of your head and neck area. The hair color application needs to be done quickly for best results and even color.
If you’re careful and not applying hair color over the previous color, there’ll be no need to do anything further to protect highlights! Just make sure you wash your hair color out with reasonable speed. Don’t allow the new color to remain on the rest of your hair for any period of time and it will be absolutely perfect.
