by> Kaleena StroudUpdated on March 2018 You have curly hair and want a color change but nothing too drastic and definitely nothing harmful to your perfect curls. Sound familiar? Pintura highlights may be one of the best color techniques for curly hair. We’ll look at how this trend adds dimension to your bouncy tresses in a way that traditional foiled highlights. The difference lies in the amount of color applied down to the roots from the mid-hair. Pintura highlights not only apply a heavy hand to the tips, but actually start working the color upwards from the tips. Essentially it’s a way to paint natural-looking highlights by hand for a pretty all-over color pop that really shines on curly hair. Your colorist should strategically place the color in which the light falls as opposed to a film technique in which the colorist will most likely stretch the curl to place the color and wrap it in foil for processing. The colorist should leave the natural curl in contact when hand-painted using the Pintura method so that the color can actually hit the right spots for color bursts. The colorist can go with the color as heavy as you would like if you want lots of bronze summer or a pop of pink. You can get the best out of it at home using some popular products like DevaCurl’s fan-favorite> Light Defining Gel.
Pintura Highlight Inspirations
Not everyone can afford a trip to the O.G. DevaSalon or find a curl specialist, but you can make sure that your stylist gets a clear idea of what you want by inspiring your next appointment.
Peek-A-Boo Red Pieces
Because the hair has been spontaneously gifted with auburn streaks, nobody has to suspect that it has been beautifully selected. With some random red bits that peek through the waves, take every brunette up a notch. For extra feminine style, add a side part or even some bangs. 
All-over blonde
Gain from this blonde technique. The result can still look super natural with highlights and lowlights. And while Pintura is less toxic than regular highlights, you’ll still want to treat your colored hair with> deep conditioning hair masks to keep it smooth and solid. 
Bold Color and Curls
These highlights feature a combination of natural grown-out color with fresh colored pops. Combine it with plenty of form and texture at the top to show off the curves and you’ll be able to see them. 
Soft Brown Colors

Long Bronzed Brunette
