<p>I'd like to know what's this type of hair highlight called?</p>
<p>In the application Koikatsu, it is called &quot;lighting&quot; highlight.
I am wondering if this is the correct name?</p>

I've been searching all around, still no official name for that kind of highlight. Danbooru doesn't specify it.

In Japanese there is word ツヤベタ(tsuyabeta) though it does not specifically refer to the 'lighting'. It rather means paint black the hair with the expression of luster. (See [this](https://esinote.com/guide/body/glossy-hair) for example).

What about "zigzag" highlight?

I suppose it is simply a type/style of luster. ツヤベタ just encompasses painting the hair with highlight.
