Make like the models spotted on the Christian Dior Spring-Summer 2015 runway show and lighten the two strands closest to your face to frame it beautifully. Let’s take a closer look at this simple and effective technique which will bring your style to life!
 
Two lighter strands at the front of the face will add both structure and brighten up your whole hairstyle. ‘At your Jean Louis David salon appointment, your stylist will use a layering technique to lighten your locks. This involves coloring the hair in different stages to achieve your desired color, leaving a more natural result at the roots and a more intense color towards the ends. Thanks to this technique, your end-result will appear completely natural without dreaded root re-growth’.
 
If you’re tempted to go for this look, don’t make the mistake of trying this color at home. ‘The sun can also naturally lighten hair, however, this will provide an all-over lightening rather than a targeted effect. The only way to achieve a precise color is to head to your stylist. They will select the correct strands that need lightening and create a bespoke shade especially for your individual hair color’.
 
Our advice: This technique can be used for any hair type and length. Once your color has been successfully applied, loose hairstyles are the best way to show off your new highlights.
