“One of the biggest trends right now is the lived-in blonde. It is a very popular look with celebrities, very sought after in the salon, and it’s a trend that isn’t really going anywhere,” says Chris, highlighting the enduring appeal of this captivating style.

Chris’s approach to the Lived-In Blonde  trend focuses on enhancing natural beauty while incorporating elements of depth and dimension. “Now, we see these lived-in blondes where we see a more natural root with these ribbons of blonde and natural colour coming through. This can be really low maintenance; it can also be high maintenance depending on the individual and depending on the colour result you want to achieve. You can make it more exciting by putting the money pieces around the front, brightening the face up. My favourite look right now because I think it is so versatile,” he explains.

The technique you need

Central to Chris’s technique is the art of framing the face to accentuate its contours. By strategically placing brighter pieces around the face, Chris achieves a flattering contrast with the natural root throughout the back, adding depth and dimension to the overall look.
