Hair Highlights and Streaking
Pelo que sei:
Luzes = highlights
Reflexos = wider highlights (o mesmo princípio das luzes, com mechas mais largas)
Mechas = Streaking (com cores bem contrastantes)
Luzes = highlights

you use adjectives to describe the highlights in English:
There are two ways of highlighting hair. First, you can highlight very small strands of hair. This creates a subtle change. Thin, small highlights look natural, as though you've just vacationed in Hawaii.
Another way of highlighting hair is to go for the modern and sleek chunky style. These highlights are thick, large portions of hair that have been bravely and boldly highlighted. This type of highlighting makes a fashion statement that isn't soon forgotten.
=====
So if you want to specify different types:
thin/thick highlights
big/small highlights

Hair highlights, lowlights and blonde shades
Highlights e lowlights são ambos tipos de reflexos. Blonde shades corresponde a luzes e você poderia tentar explicar "mechas" como sendo :
"Lowlights, similar to highlights, may be applied to thick or thin strands of hair" - mechas são mais grossas, mesmo.
"Lowlights, similar to highlights, may be applied to thick or thin strands of hair" - mechas são mais grossas, mesmo.

Lowlight seria o que chamamos "luzes ao contrário" por aqui - portanto, "luzes" do mesmo jeito..
