My boss doesn’t like this one
But my client loves it. Natural blended highlights is better than a grown out DIY box dye. I still think an all over highlift blonde would make this pop. But she likes her greys
As someone who's worked with a variety of hair coloring techniques, I've found natural blended highlights to be a fantastic option for clients seeking a soft but sophisticated change. Unlike DIY box dyes, which often result in uneven color and harsh lines as they grow out, natural highlights blend more seamlessly with your existing hair color and texture. This look is especially flattering for those embracing their greys, as it adds dimension rather than covering them up entirely. One thing I've learned is that trusting your stylist's expertise can really pay off. While highlift blondes can add brightness and make your hair pop, having a client feel comfortable with their color—whether that's soft greys or subtle highlights—is crucial. Over the years, some of my best results have come from tailoring the highlights to complement unique skin tones and personal style. At home, maintaining highlighted hair requires gentle care and suitable products to protect color and keep hair healthy. I recommend using color-safe shampoos and conditioners, and deep conditioning treatments weekly to prevent dryness, especially for blonde or highlighted hair. Also, regular touch-ups can keep the color fresh without the harsh look of regrowth lines. Ultimately, hair color is a personal journey, and the fact that your client loves their hair means you’ve done an excellent job. It's about enhancing natural beauty and confidence, not just following trends or others' opinions. Natural blended highlights offer a beautiful balance of style and subtlety that grows gracefully with you.
