Highlights lift selected strands to add light, dimension and movement. The finesse is in the balance of strand thickness and placement. In Nişantaşı, Istanbul, İlhan Kaymak designs highlights to brighten the face; the work is done at KAiMAK Hair Studio.
Lightened strands add depth and movement; flat-looking colour comes alive.
Strand thickness and density are measured for a natural yet effective result.
Lighter strands placed around the face brighten the skin and freshen the look.
Correct toning after lifting prevents unwanted yellow/orange.
Highlights are a classic technique, but the result changes entirely with strand thickness and placement. Too-thick strands can look streaky, too-fine ones ineffective. İlhan Kaymak strikes the balance: defined enough to add natural light, measured enough to avoid streakiness. Toning after lifting also determines the quality of the result.
For anyone in Istanbul wanting vitality without fully changing their colour, highlights are a good route. Where balayage gives a more natural-diffused effect, highlights provide more defined light and dimension. Which suits you is decided in the hair analysis.

Highlights are usually foiled, regular lifted strands starting at the root and give more defined light; balayage is painted freehand, the root stays natural and it looks more diffused-natural.
Lifting can stress the hair; İlhan Kaymak lightens with hair health in mind and supports it with care when needed.
They become more visible as roots grow; usually refreshed every few months. The interval is set to your hair type.
