What Are Teasylights?

Teasylights are a highlighting technique used by colorists to achieve an elevated, lived-in look while preserving your natural color. The process involves back-combing or teasing the hair toward the scalp, giving it a natural and blended result. It works on all hair types and can be easily blended with other highlighting techniques.

How to Do Teasylights

Leave this technique to the professionals. The colorist holds each subsection of hair with tension toward the ends and uses a foiling comb to push the hair from mid-lengths toward the scalp. The key is to keep the density of each subsection consistent and ensure proper saturation. Less is more when it comes to highlighting, so use teasylights to add a pop of color and enhance your base shade.

Teasylights vs. Highlights

Teasylights differ from traditional highlights in that the client's natural hair is pushed back and preserved, allowing for natural dimension and eliminating the need for low-lighting. The teased hair with the natural color intact softens and diffuses the highlight, creating an authentic and lived-in look.

How to Maintain Teasylights

Teasylights are one of the most low-maintenance techniques. Using your natural hair as dimension ensures a seamless and graceful grow-out. To keep your color looking fresh, use color-safe shampoos and conditioners, and consider using a purple shampoo if you're blond. Don't forget to use heat protectants to preserve your color.

With the teasylights technique, you won't be chained to the salon. Some clients only need to visit twice a year to maintain this look.
