What is a high lift tint? | Abingdon | Didcot | Wantage | Oxfordshire

It’s important to avoid misappropriating what high lift tints are and what they are not. We are often asked in-salon how much lift can be achieved through the application of a high lift tint. On average you can expect a high lift tint to lighten virgin hair by roughly three to four levels and this is typically dependent upon your starting colour (light or dark). If you intend to go lighter than four levels, you will need to use bleach. One of the key questions clients often ask is how much lift they can expect from a high lift tint. Case in point, if your natural hair is a medium brown, a high lift tint may take it to a dark or medium blonde with a single process.

It’s worth noting that your Stylist will need to sufficiently align your expectations. High lift tints are not a replacement for bleach nor will they achieve results that bleach will ultimately achieve and vice-versa. For example if you desire a very light result with significant contrast, bleach would represent a more appropriate choice.
