lowlighting
Adding darker streaks
Lowlighting is a hair coloring technique that adds darker strands to create depth and dimension, the opposite of highlighting.
Where highlights brighten with lighter tones, lowlights deepen with darker ones: She got lowlights to add richness to her blonde hair.
The two techniques are often combined for a natural, multidimensional look.
