Thinking of adding some dimension to your short hair? Highlights can do wonders in enhancing the texture and giving your hair a fresh, dynamic look. In this step-by-step guide, we will walk you through the process of creating highlights on short hair. Let’s get started!

Gathering the necessary supplies

Before we begin, make sure you have the following supplies:

  • Highlighting kit (choose a shade that complements your natural hair color)
  • Sectioning clips
  • Comb
  • Gloves
  • Old shirt or towel (to protect your clothes)
  • Bowl and brush (if your highlighting kit does not include one)
  • Mirror (preferably handheld or adjustable for better visibility)
  • Timer

Preparing your hair

Start by washing your hair thoroughly to ensure it is clean and free of any product residue. Once dry, comb your hair to get rid of any tangles or knots that may hinder the highlighting process.

Sectioning your hair

Divide your hair into four sections using sectioning clips. This will help you work with smaller, more manageable areas.

Mixing the highlighting solution

Follow the instructions on the highlighting kit to mix the highlighting solution. If your kit does not include a bowl and brush, use your own and ensure they are clean and dry before mixing.

Applying the highlights

Starting with one section at a time, take a small amount of the highlighting solution and apply it to your hair. Use the brush or your fingers to evenly distribute the product from the roots to the desired length of the highlights. Make sure to keep the application neat and avoid overlapping the sections.

Timing the highlights

Refer to the instructions on your highlighting kit to determine the recommended development time. Set a timer accordingly and wait for the specified duration to allow the color to develop. Avoid leaving the highlights on for longer than instructed, as it may lead to unwanted effects or damage to your hair.

Rinsing and caring for your hair

After the recommended development time, rinse your hair thoroughly with lukewarm water until the water runs clear. Apply the conditioner provided in your highlighting kit or a regular deep conditioning treatment to moisturize your hair. Rinse again and gently pat your hair dry with a towel to avoid excessive rubbing.

Styling your newly highlighted short hair

Now that your hair is highlighted, you can style it as desired. Experiment with different hairstyles to showcase the newly added dimensions and enjoy your refreshed look!

Remember to follow any additional instructions or recommendations provided with your specific highlighting kit for optimal results and hair care.

We hope this step-by-step guide has been helpful in creating highlights on your short hair. Enjoy your transformed hairstyle and the compliments that are sure to come your way!
