The duration required for lightening sections of hair varies considerably based on several factors. These factors include the technique employed, hair length and thickness, the desired degree of lightness, and the stylist’s experience. The process can involve anything from subtle, face-framing accents to a complete transformation of the hair’s color.
Understanding the time investment is important for scheduling purposes and managing expectations. Clients benefit from knowing the typical range of appointment duration to plan their day accordingly. Historically, highlighting processes were more time-consuming due to less advanced products and techniques. Modern approaches often reduce the overall time commitment while still achieving desirable results.
