What is negative space hair color?

Negative space hair is a coloring technique that involves weaving highlights or lowlights throughout your natural base color, usually near your face. The idea is to create dimension and depth without going too far from your natural color. As a result, negative space hair is relatively low maintenance and easy to grow out. It’s a great option if you want to add some flair to your hair without committing to a major change.

Negative space hair can be taken up a notch by pairing it with balayage, a coloring technique that uses hand-painted bleach to add dimension throughout the hair. However, negative space hair differs from balayage in that it uses traditional foil highlights and lowlights and primarily focuses on the hair around the face.

Like all hair colors that aren’t your natural shade, negative space hair will require some special care to maintain it. Here are a few tips to help you keep your negative space hair looking its best:

1. Use a shampoo and conditioner specifically formulated for color-treated hair. This will help to preserve your color and prevent fading.
2. Add a glossing treatment to your weekly hair care routine. Glossing treatments can help to keep your hair shiny and vibrant, and they can also help to correct any unevenness in your color.
3. Use a heat protectant when styling. Heat can damage your hair and cause your color to fade, so it’s important to use a protectant when you style your hair with heat-based tools.
4. Avoid washing your hair too frequently. Over washing can strip your hair of its natural oils, which can lead to dryness and damage. Stick to washing your hair two or three times per week, or even less if you can manage it.
