Clear or colored glossing
a gloss that coats your hair lasting so many shampoos. Clear adds a lovely shine ,color adds a shine with some tone to enrich the color of the hair.
Base tint with hi hights
Hair is tinted and to brake it up a little give it some light or dark or tonal hi lights through it. A more natural and interesting look.
Hi lights
color lighter than your natural place by weaving out strands of hair to a thickness or amount required. Low lights the same but same color as natural hair with tone added or darker.

Shoe shinning

Ombre
trend for dark roots and lighter ends a clear dark to light fade should be natural and not a hard line unless effect is sometimes required
Dip dye
is basically the same thing
Balayage
is a free hand painting the color on,you paint when and where you want it flows more with the natural flow of the hair.Its like hi lights only a natural flow not weaved out . balayage is a french word meaning to paint or sweep it has a more natural sun kissed effect than standard hi-lights but stronger color can be used for required effects
Sombre
if ombre is a little too much for you sombre has the light hair going up further towards to the roots and a few fine dark sections are applied the lower lenghts to give a softer natural ombre mix.
Flash color
when a small block section of hair has a noticable different color applied to it. Maybe through the bangs or a slice at the lower back. Thickness placement and amount depend on effect required.
Pixalating
When small inch squares are tinted in a diaganal cross section one line per hair section normally on the outer sections of hair only .To give a pixilated look works best on straight hair.
