They add a soft shimmer and delicate dimension to your hair without appearing streaky or artificial. Ideal for clients seeking a low-maintenance, refined hair color.

Highlight & Babylight FAQs

What is the difference between hair highlights and babylights?

Highlights add contrast with bolder sections of lightened hair, while babylights are ultra-fine, subtle, and natural-looking ideal for a soft, sun-kissed effect.

Can I combine both techniques?

Yes! Many clients get babylights at the crown with face-framing highlights for dimension.

Which lasts longer?

Babylights grow out more softly, while highlights may need more frequent touch-ups.

Do they damage hair?

When done professionally with quality products, both are safe. We always use bond-building additives like Olaplex.

Which one is better: highlights or babylights?

It depends on your desired look. Highlights are more defined and vibrant, while babylights offer a softer, more natural finish with lower maintenance.

Do babylights and highlights damage your hair?

At GoldyZ Aesthetics, we use premium, ammonia-free color and bonding technology to protect hair integrity during and after coloring.

How long do highlights or babylights last?

They typically last 12 weeks, depending on hair growth and how well you maintain your color at home.

Can I get babylights or highlights on dark hair?

Yes! Both techniques can be beautifully customized for dark hair with the right level of lift and toning.

Are these coloring techniques suitable for all hair types?

Absolutely. Whether your hair is curly, straight, thick, or fine, we adjust our methods to suit your unique texture and desired outcome.

How long does the appointment take?

Highlights typically take 2-3 hours, while babylights, being more detailed, may take 4 hours.

Will I need a toner after getting highlights or babylights?

Yes. Toning is often required to neutralize brassy tones and achieve your ideal color, especially for ash or beige finishes.

What should I do to maintain my color at home?

Use sulfate-free shampoos, minimize heat styling, and apply deep conditioning masks weekly. We also recommend gloss treatments every 6-8 weeks.

Is it possible to switch from highlights to babylights or vice versa?

Yes. You can always adjust your style depending on your look. Babylights are great for a more natural base, while highlights can add vibrance later.
