- Add a few subtle highlights to your bangs and sides of the face in order to lighten your skin tone.

- Don’t wash your hair prior to highlighting. The best results are accomplished when you highlight dry hair that has not been shampooed for at least 1 day.

- Condition on a usual basis, but stay away from hot-oil treatments because they strip color.

- Red shades ought to be avoided for pink toned people.

- If you want to make the illusion of lighter hair, you should brush highlights all over your hair, focusing on your hairline, bangs and part.
