Blondes may be known to “have more fun,” but even the brightest blondes don’t have as much fun as those that have lowlights sprinkled into their tresses!
Lowlights are a quick and easy way to add pops of dimension and depth to your look without diving into the realm of full-blown highlights. Whether they’re worn subtly or more annunciated, one thing is for sure: they always look fantastic.
