The Under-Layer Hair Colour Trend Is Going To Be Everywhere And We’re Officially Obsessed

The Prettiest Iteration

 

Natural hair looks especially stunning with hints of pastel. If you’re looking for an easy way to elevate your overall look, this iteration of the under-layer hair colour trend might be just the thing for you. If you are a trendsetter who’s always up for trying something new, this one’s for you. It’s effortless, stand-out and a perf hair switch up for those of us who love being the first one to usher in a new beauty trend. 

The Half Of It

 

Here’s yet another subtle version to wear the colour-blocking trend. If you are looking for a chic yet standout variation, opt for this half and half pairing. It involves dividing the hair into two sections, the upper half dyed in a natural blend – a colour that’s closer to your natural hair shade with solid-hued unnatural opposite on the lower half. It will also add an Illusion of density and depth to your strands.

The One That’s Bold Yet Chic

 

If you prefer tying your hair up as a bun most days, consider this half and half variant of the trend. Even a thin layer on the base of your mane can make you go from zero to hero. It will impart a bold sensibility that’s effortlessly understated and playfully chic. It’s an easy version of the wildly popular hair trend and looks oh-so-stylish.

Perf For Minimalist Trend-Setters

 

If you are a minimalist who loves indulging in the latest in the beauty world then this might be your favourite way to wear the trend. This one is subtle in its approach and edgy enough to help you make a head-turning statement. It involves dipping the shortest of layers behind your ear in a contrasting shade and can be easily done at home. Pick up your fave hue and get to work ladies.

For Major Cool-Girl Vibe

 

When it comes to hair colour, a handful of styles are reigning supreme right now: skunk hair, balayage, all-around blonde being some of them. But if you’re looking to make a statement and show off your creativity in a more subtle way, then this hair colour style is perf for you. The best bits? It works on all hair types, textures and requires little-to-no maintenance. Think bright pink, blonde and blue.

The Kinda Blues We Love

 

This back-to-blue colour melt looks especially stunning in a short crop. The curls and asymmetric cut make it especially stunning. Adding a few layers underneath will do the trick for folks with long tresses and it looks undeniable chic, trust us. We’re suckers for bright-hued highlights, so it’s no wonder we’re swooning over this fad.
