Hair with highlights is a popular hair coloring technique that involves lightening strands of hair to create a contrasting effect. This technique has been used for centuries, with examples ranging from the subtle highlights in Renaissance paintings to the bold streaks of modern fashion.
Highlights can add depth, dimension, and interest to hair, making it appear thicker and fuller. They can also be used to correct color imbalances or to create a more natural-looking sun-kissed effect. One key historical development in hair highlighting was the invention of bleach in the late 1800s, which made it possible to lighten hair more effectively and with less damage.
