lowlighted
Made less bright
Lowlighted describes hair that has had darker streaks or sections added to create depth and dimension, the opposite of highlighted.
The technique adds contrast by darkening certain strands rather than lightening them: She had her hair lowlighted to tone down the blonde.
The word also functions as the past tense of lowlight, meaning to emphasize negative aspects: The report lowlighted the project's failures.
