Painting hair is a form of hair coloring that combines subtle highlights and lowlights to refresh a natural hair color or create a dramatic new look. Unlike traditional hair dyeing, which often uses a single color, painting hair involves the application of multiple shades to create a more nuanced effect, like a painting on a canvas.
The technique has gained popularity due to its ability to mimic the natural sun-kissed highlights and shadows found in healthy hair, resulting in a more natural and effortless look. Historically, painting hair emerged in the early 1990s as an alternative to harsh chemical treatments that could damage hair. It has since become a versatile technique used by hairstylists to create a wide range of color effects, from subtle enhancements to bold transformations.
