10/ Can you make highlights on short hair?
If you have short hair and want to add highlights, don't worry, you can lighten up your look!
It is common to think that with shorter hair it is more difficult to make locks in the strands. What the hell, diva! In addition to changing the length, you can enhance the locks with lights and other techniques that brighten up the look. But, like every coloring process, you have to be careful so that the result comes out as expected. Check out all the tips here at stayed diva!
Create faded highlights for a more natural result
Depending on your haircut, pulling out strands at the roots can make your hair look much lighter than you expect. Therefore, if the intention is to start gradually, it is worth investing in the gradient when coloring the locks.
This effect can be achieved in two ways. One of them is ombré hair, which makes a very subtle lightening of the strands, as if they were sunburned. Or you can do the babylights, for a very discreet finish, with very thin lights. It is also worth betting on slightly lighter tones and increasing the intensity slowly.

Choose a good professional so you don't stain the wires
It is important to note that, with shorter strands, the risk of not getting the color right is great. This is because the length, texture and density of the hair interfere too much with the amount of locks to be made without staining the strands.
Therefore, the best option is to look for a professional who understands colorimetry and knows how to guide you on the most suitable technique for your type of thread. In addition, maintenance will also ensure that the strands are always beautiful, bright and full of life.

Bet on texturing to not leave the look marked
Another cool tip for those who want to invest in highlights for shorter hair is to explore the various finishing possibilities. Yes, you don't just need to cut or dye your hair to change the look, after all, a different texture already transforms the look.
In this case, for those who enjoy a “I was born like this” effect, finishing the strands with wider waves, which can be done with the help of a curling iron, enhances your locks and leaves the features very smooth. The same goes for the curly and frizzy ones, don't forget to perfect the volume! If you want a more striking look, it's worth resorting to heat tools to get well-aligned locks.
