Face framing highlights

There’s a new hair color trend on the block that actually isn’t so ‘new’…it’s just made its return back from the ‘90’s. It’s none other than chunky, face-framing highlights! 

This color style was originally made popular by icons like the Spice Girls. In contrast to balayage or babylights, these face-framing highlights are not subtle. They are unapologetically bold AND fun! Seeking out a more dramatic look? We’ve got your inspiration!

Whether you’re looking for the classic face-framing highlights in bleach-blonde or something a little less dramatic, face-framing highlights can be adapted and toned down to accommodate any color.
