The speaker is discussing various techniques and terms related to hair highlighting. The main points include:
- The concept of highlights: Highlights are pieces of hair color added to enhance the natural color of the hair. They can make hair appear more vibrant, healthy, and attract more light.
- Full saturation hair painting or balayage: This involves painting both sides of the hair strand, making it super thick and creamy. This technique creates a dimensional highlight that is highly saturated.
- Partial saturation hair painting: This method involves painting only the surface of the hair. It can create a subtle highlight effect or a super dimensional blonde if only the surface is painted.
- Baby lights or fine weave highlights: These are typically done in foils and are used to create a very low impact result with a beautiful sparkle on the hair.
- Sliced highlights: This technique involves slicing sections of the hair and painting them with a foil. It's a fast and easy method to add a lot of highlights in a short amount of time.
- Toner or gloss: These are demi-permanent colors used to change the color of the hair. They are used to make the hair appear more ash-toned, more white, or more vibrant.
- Route smudge or route shadow: This technique is used to blur the lines between the natural hair color and the highlights. It can make the hair look more lived-in and natural.
- Money piece or face-framing highlight: This is a bright highlight that goes all around the face, serving to draw attention to it.
The speaker emphasizes the importance of clear communication with the hairstylist about the desired highlights. This will ensure both parties are on the same page and can achieve the desired result.
