The bright sun creates a warm atmosphere as Scandinavian blondes on Instagram start flaunting their sun-kissed looks. This trend has inspired many to seek similar appearances through different artificial methods.
The trend of Scandi blondes is gaining momentum, reminiscent of the Scandi hairline technique. This method involves lightening the baby hairs around the forehead and face to emulate a sun-bleached effect, aiming to create hair that looks naturally lightened by the sun after being outdoors.
Adam Reed, a hair expert, stresses the importance of handling hair with care when aiming for this look. A skilled colorist will pinpoint the areas that naturally lighten in the sun. Along with lightening the hairline, adding money "pieces"—lighter strands of hair framing the face—can boost the skin's radiance and brightness.
For enhancing super-light blonde shades, experts suggest integrating deeper tones into the hair. Many professionals favor babylights over traditional highlights for a more delicate, sun-kissed look that enhances hair volume. This method helps achieve a color that looks naturally touched by the sun.
To experiment with this trend, seek advice from your colorist on blending in soft tones of beige, ash, and platinum if you're already a blonde. For darker hair, think about introducing caramels or other warm hues. Opt for loose, textured beach waves when styling your hair to achieve a look that could easily be mistaken for that of a genuine Scandinavian beauty.
