The Scandi Hairline Trend

THE SCANDINAVIAN TIKTOK TREND AT GUSTO CENTRAL LONDON HAIR SALONS

Dominating the hair colour world right now is Scandi highlightsThe Scandinavian hairline trend (aka lift-lights or Nordic blonde highlights) is a new colouring technique used to brighten the fine baby hairs around the face and mimic the hairline of a natural Scandinavian blonde. Your stylist will brush the hair forward onto the forehead or use a very fine comb to pick up the softest of the hairs before applying colour (often bleach) directly to the hairline.

It's a technique used as a way of framing the face, and giving a 'halo' effect to the rest of your hair with minimal effort making a set of highlights look even blonder. This part of the service is often carried out just before your colour service is rinsed out and is often a few shades lighter seamlessly blending with your hair colour. For a more dramatic look, team your Scandi highlights with a bold money piece.

As this area of hair is finer it lightens much quicker than the rest of your hair so doesn't need much development time. Hair is then rinsed and toned as normal. The super fine highlights then peek out from underneath delivering a subtle and flattering look. It is recommended to have touch-ups around the 12-week mark to keep your colour looking fresh and vibrant. We also suggest having a glossing treatment or toner to eliminate any unwanted brassy tones.

This latest TikTok hair trend is aimed at those who already have blonde or light hair. That's not to say that it can't be achieved for redheads, brunettes and darker hair shades. This is not a technique to try at home! If you have had a hair colour disaster after reaching for the box dye, do not despair.
