Differences between meches and highlights
What are the differences between meches and highlights?
In the case of meches, the hairdresser uses a bleaching technique, in order to obtain a much more clear and decisive lightening compared to the effect of sunstrokes. The highlights are done tone on tone and give a more nuanced and light effect compared to meches.
If we aim for a result that is immediately visible and clear, then we must opt for meches. If we are looking for a slightly lighter, more homogeneous and nuanced result, then the sunstroke technique is more suitable.
How to cure hair with highlights
How should we behave once our meches are done? How can we keep our hair healthy, shiny and with a color like fresh for a long time? Hair that is bleached is more easily damaged than others, which is why it is necessary to take care of it.
