Basically the 90's striped highlights but better! For 2021 the new hair trend we will be seeing is chunky highlights and more contrast through the hair. This trend can be mixed in with balayage and face framing to give a more edgy look. Gone are the days of the actual stripes and a more softer, elegant result.
Instead of having this technique applied to the whole head I would advise having it applied to half the head. So either at the top or randomly placed through the hair (which is my personal favourite). This look will be perfect for anyone wanting to break up their colour and add more contrast either dark or light.
My suggestion for a more even but effective result would be to add a face frame and randomly have the highlights placed throughout the hair. If you are light have a darker semi colour placed inbetween the foils or of you're dark then leave alone depending on tone. This will give you the contrasts you need.
This look also works on blondes who want to keep the blonde you just need to add in a different tone and vice versa with dark hair except you will most probably be working with lighter colours (not bleach more caramels, coppers and reds etc).
The 90's are back! Give it a go for something different to balayage.
