UNDERLIGHTS: THE UNDER-HAIR COLOR TREND
The hair trends of 2020 have been truly bold and risky, and that is why every time a celeb changes her hair look, social media is on fire! The same thing happened a few days ago when TikTok users showed a new style in their hair and, oh surprise, it follows the same trend, called underlights.
What are underlights?
This is a hair trend that is also known as peekaboo hair or hidden hair. In summary, they are lights that are dyed under the upper layer of the hair, so they are not seen when it is loose and straight, and they only have visibility inside, semi-collected, messy, wavy, or collected hairstyles.
From the changes in the looks of the celebs, it seems that the blonde underlights are the hottest color right now.
The advantages of the underlights trend
Being hidden lights, the underlights are the perfect effect for when you want to have a versatile mane: that is discreet most of the time and daring only with certain types of styles. In addition, because only one layer of the hair is dyed, the damage is very little and you do not mistreat the visible parts of the hair. Another point in its favor is the dyeing that can be a uniform color, an ombré, a balayage or even a rainbow hair. You decide how produced you want the look!
Ideas to paint underlights in your hair
Do you like underlights, but don't know what style to style them? Here are 4 options:
1. Blonde underlights
Blond is a uniform shade and both retain the brown color on top, making a high contrast impression on the hair.
2. Localized underlights
The color goes in a couple of highlights under the hair, not the entire middle layer. It's great for adding subtle and vibrant touches.
3. Underlights in ombré
These make a gradient of colors in the hidden layer of the hair, which goes from a dark tone at the roots to a light one at the ends, or vice versa.
4. Rainbow underlights
The 'hidden rainbow' is a hair trend that we love, but one that is risky and high-maintenance. You can go under very dark or completely blonde hair to make the colors look softer.
How to style the underlights?
As for the cut, we recommend those with straight edges so that the effect is much better appreciated. If we talk about the hairstyle, the straight one can hide the color and in the wavy one, the change of tone will be more evident. Time to be bold, get on track with the trend.
