When the strobing trend hit the beauty scene, we were elated. Rather than spending hours contouring our faces, we could get away with just a few quick swipes of shimmery highlighter! Well, it looks like the fad was so popular that it’s even extended to hair.
Hair strobing is a cool technique which aims to play up your favourite features. By highlighting the strands that frame the face, your hair attracts light and immediately adds a glow to your complexion. If you need proof, check out Gigi Hadid, Miranda Kerr and Jourdan Dunn.
So, let’s get down to how it’s done. Instead of using just one or two shades, colorists prefer to use a combination of hues that are slightly lighter than your current colour. They even take your skin tone into consideration, so as to create the most flattering look for you.
Unlike traditional dyeing techniques which involve the use of foil, this method is more free-wheeling. Highlights are painted upon your hair to give you a natural, sun-kissed look. Whilst all hair types will benefit from this technique, we recommend that you style your locks into waves or curls to get maximum benefit.
