It’s one way of saying it, I can also use it to describe crazy hair “estas mechudo” . Rayitos, iluminaciones is more commonly used. Mechas can also be something like the candlewick.

Mecha/Mechas can also mean a fuse. But people use it for highlights and another word is “Rallos/Rallitos”

amm not quite right. In the context of hair dying, "mechas" are thos early 2000s chuncky highlighted pieces of hair. "luces" "rayitos" are the tiny ones that are on style now.

Mechas = Reflejos = Highlights. Mecha also means fuse like in a dinamite when you light the fuse. That thing you light is called mecha in Spanish

For me, mechas is slang for unkempt hair, you know, unbridled, tangled hair. Highlights are ratios for me.

charliecantaconmigo :
totalmente equivocados creo todos ! mechas si hablas del cabello se refiere a que el cabello está totalmente desarreglado, La palabra mecha en español proviene del francés antiguo mèche (cinta o cordón combustible para lámparas o velas), cuya base etimológica exacta es incierta, aunque se vincula al occitano meca y posiblemente a un origen prerromano o al latín mixtus (mezclado).

No yo soy cosmetologa Las mechas y rayitos son técnicas de aclaración del cabello. Las mechas suelen ser secciones más visibles y marcadas, mientras que los rayitos son secciones más finas que proporcionan una iluminación natural y sutil.
