What's it called when you dye your hair light on the top and underneath it's a darker color such as brown?

They’re called highlights and you can get this done by consulting with a colorist at a salon. Just don’t strip your hair because it can get damaged only do this if it is absolutely necessary.

idk but u could call it 2 toned….why do u ask, cuz if u want it done like that then just say it like u explained it here or show them a picture….pictures are always helpfl if u cannot explain what you want done properly as it makes sure there is not misunderstandings ^^ and that u wont hate ur stylest for doing the wrong thing >< lol

no, it isn’t highlights. highlights are when you lighten streaks of ones hair, not the underneath and the top being different.

That’s how my hair is. Except for mines black underneath. Just explain to your hair dresser how you wan’t it that’s the safest bet, or get a picture on line! I really don’t think there’s a specific “Name” for it.

I might do my hair like that, that’s why i ask and if it had a name i didn’t want to sound like an idiot trying to describe it to my hairstylist :b

okay thank you!

Alright thank you!

Two toned, or underlays. But when I worked at my first salon me and the other hairdressers used to call it a Neenish tart hahaha so that’s what I call it now :LLLL

Haha why did you call it that? And thank you for your answer!!

Ive heard it as “peekaboo”many times….
