Babylights: This is How The Trend Highlights Succeed

Babylights? The highlights are as fine as children’s hair. Thanks to the balayage brush technique, they dance around our face like fine sunrays.

Babylights – the absolute summer trend!

Block strands are so out that we fear their comeback. The trend highlights of summer 2020 are called Babylights. Why we want them on our heads? Because they look so incredibly natural. With this technique only very fine strands of hair (as soft and thin as children’s hair) are colored.

This is what makes Babylights special

• Often (only) the front hair strands around the face are bleached. This looks especially natural, because the hair is usually lightened by the sun in summer anyway. How many strands the hairdresser colors is of course up to you – but Babylights are ideal to freshen up a hair color only slightly or to conceal transitions.
• In addition, Babylights do not apply directly to the hairline, as most highlights do, but rather about one to two centimeters lower.
• Babylights with the Balayage dyeing technique look particularly natural. With a fine brush, the hairdresser applies the color freehand to the hair and can thus respond to hairstyle and fall of the hair more individually. Colour Contouring is what we call these highlights, which model faces and contours using hair color.
• Ombré hair also looks great with loosening baby lights – they break the strictness of the two-color separation.
• As fine strands, lowlights also have an exciting effect and add volume: A few darker nuances than lowlights give the hair optical depth.

Are Babylights always blond?

Babylights can be colored in any hair color – they are only most famous in blond – thanks to Sarah Jessica Parker and Blake Lively. They can even be set in different hair colors. Optimally the coloration is adjusted to the skin tone and the natural hair color.

Who likes which hair color?

Should the highlights be colored in cool ash tones such as ash blond or ash brown or rather in warm shades such as golden blond or warm brown? The tone of your baby lights should harmonize with your skin tone, otherwise hair colors will quickly appear unnatural or the complexion will look pale.

The skin tone decides!

In order to determine the skin undertone, the sun sensitivity can provide information: If you blush quickly and tan little, you will have cool undertones in your skin. If your skin is insensitive to the sun and tans quickly, you have warm skin. The gold-silver test also provides information: If you like gold jewelry, you have a warm skin tone; if you prefer to wear silver, your skin tone is rather cool.

In general, cool skin undertones are best worn with cooler hair colors, warm skin undertones golden and warm – then you can also choose the color of your baby lights. Of course you can also mix and integrate a few warm nuances into ashy hair, which makes the hair color more exciting – but the basic tone should stick to the skin tone.
