Sun kissed blonde refers to a hair coloring technique designed to create the appearance of natural, subtle lightening, as if the sun has gently brightened your hair over time.
Mimicking Natural Sun Lightening
Based on expert techniques, achieving a sun kissed blonde effect involves strategically placing lighter tones to replicate where the sun would naturally lift color. This often means creating a cascading blonde effect on existing brown-blonde hair.
How the Effect is Achieved
The core of the sun kissed look lies in the placement of highlights. According to the reference provided:
- Blonde strokes are placed where the sun naturally lightens hair:
- Around the face: Framing the face with brightness.
- On the ends: Where hair tips catch the most sun.
- Random strokes throughout the middle section: Adding dimension and movement.
Key Characteristics
This specific placement creates a soft fading effect, which is often described as a flattering ombré look. It avoids harsh lines, blending seamlessly with the base color for a natural, effortless appearance.
- Subtle Brightening: The goal is enhancement, not a dramatic color change.
- Strategic Placement: Focused on areas that receive the most natural light.
- Soft Transition: Highlights blend smoothly into the base.
- Dimension: Adds depth and interest to the hair.
It's a popular choice for those wanting to add warmth and brightness without committing to a full head of blonde.
