What is a “lowlights” application?

A "lowlights" application refers to the technique of coloring some strands of hair darker than the base color to create depth and dimension. This method contrasts with highlighting, where lighter shades are added to the hair to brighten it up. By incorporating darker tones, lowlights can help achieve a more natural and multi-dimensional look, particularly in hair that might otherwise appear flat or one-dimensional. This technique can be especially beneficial for adding sophistication to the overall style while maintaining a color that complements the individual's natural hair.
