Highlighting is a technique every hairstylist needs in their toolkit. The hair industry moves fast and staying current on the latest advancements matters. HICI Go courses help professionals and beginners alike grow their careers or simply keep pace with trends. We offer courses throughout the U.S. through live webinars and on-demand video along with select live, in-person courses. Here's what you need to know about hair highlights and the courses HICI Go offers.
Highlights bring a striking effect to natural hair color, brightening the face or adding subtle depth depending on the technique. Foiling is a classic approach: foil is placed beneath sections of hair to isolate the strands being lightened, then bleach is applied and left to process. The foil traps heat, helping color develop faster.
Babylights take the same foiling method but work with much smaller sections, creating a softer, more natural-looking result.
Understanding the science behind hair and how it reacts to bleach and dye makes a real difference during the bleaching process, especially knowing how processing time varies by hair color and type. HICI Go teaches these fundamentals giving stylists a foundation they can apply to other coloring methods like balayage and ombré.
Highlighting knowledge feeds directly into more advanced techniques like balayage, a modern coloring method that adds dimension by keeping tones dark at the roots and blending smoothly into lighter ends. Sections of hair are teased before bleaching so natural hair blends seamlessly with the lightened strands. Toners are often added afterward to fine-tune the final shade.
Balayage remains popular for its low-maintenance grow-out, letting roots extend without looking obvious. Staying sharp on trends like this keeps established stylists relevant and in demand and HICI Go’s hairstyling and coloring courses are one of the best ways to stay current.
Solid highlighting technique also prepares stylists to work confidently across a range of hair colors, since bleach reacts differently depending on the starting shade. Bleaching tends to look more natural on blonde hair, for instance, compared to darker colors.
For darker hair, a toner helps darken bleached strands so everything blends evenly. Understanding how bleach and toner interact with different hair colors is key to giving clients exactly the result they want. HICI Go’s experienced instructors guide students through highlighting best practices across hair colors along with how toners create the perfect finish.
