Sleek and strong, we love the contrast of blonde and the jet black shades. Curl them slightly for more texture or leave it straight for a chic style.

If you prefer a hair colour that’s a little more subtle in the gradient, then you can consider dyeing your hair with cool blonde waves. Make sure that the front pieces of the hair stand out so as to help frame your face better.

If you’re wary of trying the face-framing highlights trend, then you can always stick with a thinner portion of the highlights. That way it can come across more subtle as it blends into the rest of your hair colour.
