Highlighted hair looks elegant and laid-back, particularly when applied subtly and naturally.
Highlights - and their varying techniques of baby lights, balayage, low lights, and ombre - are a timeless colouring style that hairdressers are asked for time and time again. We asked a leading colourist for their take on the best highlighted hair looks if you want to update your hair for autumn. "First, choose a shade that compliments your natural hair colour and skin tone, creating a more natural, flattering look," celebrity hair colourist and stylist Katie Allan, founder of MAYFIVE Hair, told us. "Think about the jewellery you wear; if silver suits you more, you will generally suit cooler tones, but if gold is more flattering, warmer tones complement you more."
