Lowlights are the quiet luxury move—deeper tones placed strategically to create contrast, richness, and dimension. If your blonde feels too bright, your highlights look flat, or your color has lost that “expensive” depth, lowlights can transform everything without a drastic overall change.

What Lowlights Do (and Why They Work)

Highlights brighten. Lowlights add depth. Together, they create that multi-tonal, naturally dimensional finish.

The Finishing Touch: Gloss After Lowlights

A gloss can add shine and refine tone so your lowlights don’t pull muddy or too warm—just rich, reflective, and luxurious.
