How to Get the Best Hair Highlights for Men

Home / Men's Grooming / How to Get the Best Hair Highlights for Men

Are you thinking about getting hair highlights for men? Well, here’s all the stuff your buddies won’t tell you. Don’t even think about dying your hair until you’ve finished reading this.

What are hair highlights for men?

Basically, you make the hair strand lighter when you apply highlights. Your mane can be any color and still brighten up because of the bleach inside the dye. Due to the invasive bleaching process, it’s important to get your hair done by someone who knows exactly what they’re doing.

DID YOU KNOW: Applying bleach to extremely dry, damaged, or thinning hair is never a good idea. 

How to do your hair the right way

Finding a color expert isn’t as hard as it seems. In fact, most men go without highlights just because they’re unsure of how it will look. However, consulting with a stylist can help you decide on the ideal cut and color of your new hairdo. Meanwhile, you should consider the pros and cons of each choice:

  • At a salon – Here, you get the advice of trained and licensed professionals which can help prevent mistakes. Still, most salons are geared toward women instead of men.
  • In a barbershop – You get to work with pros who do men’s hair all the time, but their highlighting techniques might not be up to par with a more expensive salon.
  • From your home – The time and money you save are obvious, yet the quality of your dye job is never guaranteed. 

Keep in mind that you must redo hair highlights for men every 6 to 8 weeks on average. So, try to choose a styling technique that’s both accessible and affordable.

The dos and don’ts of putting in hair highlights for men

Who knows? You could be just a few steps away from looking the best you ever have. Good hairstyles can make you appear younger and feel more confident. Then again, you’d need to follow these simple guidelines to be sure about that:

DOS

  • Dye your hair when it’s dirty. If possible, skip a wash or two before heading to the stylist.
  • Conduct a spot test. That way, you’ll be able to change paths if there’s an allergic reaction to the chemicals.
  • Lighten your hair gradually because bleaching too quickly can make your mane fall out.
  • Consult with a professional. He or she can help you devise a hair-healthy plan.
  • Keep your locks moisturized. While it may seem like extra work, it’s necessary to keep your hair growing strong.

DON’TS

  • Avoid going too bright too fast. Usually, your stylist will bring your shade up by only two or three levels at first.
  • Prevent breakage by leaving those baby hairs alone. After all, diverse shades only add depth to your highlights anyhow.
  • Stay away from water and shampoo for at least 24 hours. It helps keep the dye on your strands, by the way.

The takeaway

You may never get free hair highlights for men, but at least you can get good ones. To do so, source talented professionals and take proper care of your locks.
