tricotado y velos

Cosmetics, Beauty / Hair
Spanish term or phrase: tricotado y velos
"Realizar 6 particiones para trabajar con una técnica parcial de mechas, mediante un patrón, fusionando tricotado y velos."

"Utilizar la técnica de velos en las zonas en las que queremos aportar más luminosidad y el tricotado para un efecto más natural."

The problem here are the terms "tricotado" and "velos". They appear to be two different techniques used to highlight hair but I don't understand exactly what they entail and find an equivalent term in English. Thanks

Veiling” creates hidden panels of colour so that when the hair is flipped from side to the other it exposes contrasting colour. 'Blondes hiding panels on one side will create the illusion of asymmetric hair colour and brunettes can do the same with a panel of red or auburn.Dec 28, 2012

highlights and (colour) veiling


Explanation:

Hace 30 años sólo se realizaban las mechas tricotadas de toda la vida (highlights)

¿Que diferencia hay entre babylight y highlights?
La principal diferencia es la cantidad, las highlights es las mechas tricotadas de toda la vida, haciendo una melena bastante clara, y las babylight se utilizan para iluminar de igual manera pero menos cantidad.

Apparently Velo/Veiling is Jennifer Anniston's look:

La opinión de David Lorente: «Lleva unas mechas en velo, en mucha cantidad y el pelo está bastante decolorado.

Color Veiling
This trend is more about the technique than the actual color. The top layer of hair is dyed lighter than the base, creating a see-through, veil-like effect when the darker shade peeks through, Rhys says. Jennifer Aniston is currently sporting the trend with her light-on-dark blonde hue.

To expand, it seems that "tricotado" just refers to traditional highlights, so in this case:
fusionando tricotado y velos = combining traditional highlighting and veiling techniques/ combining traditional highlighting techniques with colour veiling
