Sun-kissed hair and highlighted hair are two distinct techniques that create different effects, although they share some similarities. Here’s a breakdown:

Sun-Kissed Hair

• Effect: Creates a natural, subtle, and barely-there lightening effect, mimicking the way the sun naturally lightens hair.

• Technique: Typically achieved with a balayage or freehand painting method, focusing on the areas where the sun would naturally hit—like the crown, hairline, and ends.

• Placement: Less structured, with soft transitions for a lived-in look.

• Result: A warm, beachy, low-maintenance style that works well with any natural base color.

• Maintenance: Minimal, as there’s no harsh regrowth line; it blends seamlessly as the hair grows out.

Highlighted Hair

• Effect: A more defined, noticeable lift in contrast, often creating dimension with lighter strands throughout the hair.

• Technique: Done with foil highlights, balayage, or slicing, depending on the desired look. The sections can range from thin and natural to bold and chunky.

• Placement: More deliberate and can be evenly spaced or strategically placed to enhance the haircut or face shape.

• Result: Brighter, more uniform, and structured lightness. It can be cool-toned (ash) or warm-toned (golden).

• Maintenance: Higher maintenance, as regrowth lines are more visible, requiring regular touch-ups.
