Highlighted hair! 🫶

2024/8/21 Edited to

... Read moreYou saw my main post with my gorgeous new highlights, and I'm still absolutely obsessed! I wanted to dive a little deeper into why I chose this particular style and what went into getting these dreamy 90s blonde highlights on my natural brown hair. Lately, I've been seeing a huge comeback for 90s hair trends, and honestly, who doesn't love a bit of nostalgia? What I adore about 90s highlights, especially for brown hair, is how they perfectly blend a natural, sun-kissed look with that iconic, slightly chunkier dimension. It’s not about super subtle balayage; it’s about those beautiful, noticeable streaks that really frame your face and add a playful vibrancy. My goal was to get that classic 'Rachel Green' vibe but updated for today, making my long, wavy brown hair truly pop. When I walked into the salon, I showed my stylist some inspiration pictures that really captured that light brown and blonde tone I was after. We talked about how these highlights would flow with my natural waves, enhancing the movement and shine. The process itself involved careful sectioning to create those beautiful, strategically placed highlights. My stylist explained that for the true 90s look, it's about achieving a beautiful contrast that isn't too stark, making sure the blonde tones complement my existing brown rather than clashing. Seeing it all come together in the salon chair was so exciting! For anyone considering 'hair highlights' on brown hair, especially the 90s style, think about what kind of blonde will best suit your skin tone and natural hair color. I opted for a mix of warm and cool blonde tones to get that perfect balance. The result is so much more than just a color change; it adds incredible depth and makes my hair look so much shinier and healthier – exactly what I wanted for my naturally wavy locks. Now, about the investment! As I mentioned, these beautiful highlights came in around the $200 mark. While it's an upfront cost, I see it as investing in a look that makes me feel amazing. To keep my highlighted hair looking its best and maintain that gorgeous shine, I've been focusing on sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners, and regular deep conditioning treatments. Protecting my hair from heat styling is also key to keeping those light brown and blonde tones vibrant and preventing brassiness. It makes a huge difference in extending the life of your color and maintaining healthy, shiny hair. If you’re looking to refresh your brown hair and add some serious dimension with a timeless, chic vibe, I highly recommend exploring 90s highlights. They’re truly a game-changer for adding life and movement, especially to long, wavy hair. It’s amazing how a few well-placed highlights can completely transform your overall look! What are your favorite highlight styles?

I got my hair dyed… and I hated it
Hey sweeties! I wanted to share my recent story of how I went to get my hair dyed darker. So I knew that I wouldn’t be able to go home for fall break since I would be going to Dublin to visit my boyfriend and my hair would be super overgrown by then. I decided that I could do a little balaya

This was my 1st time installing a glueless wig and I’m surprised I haven’t tried one sooner! I got this wig from AliExpress and the highlights looked better than I expected 😍 Then I went ahead and added some curls. I wish I didn’t cut the hair so short in the front and layered the hair better.
