When we think of California and hair, a blonde beach girl mane immediately springs to mind, doesn’t it? California brunette is the hair trend for those who want a sun-kissed look.
We love summer and not only want to integrate it into our make-up looks and outfits, but also reflect it with a new hairstyle. It’s the trendiest hair color in hair salons right now, but everyone on Instagram, Tik Tok and Co. is also crazy about California brunettes. We’ll tell you what makes the fresh color and whether it suits you.
What is the California brunette?
The California Brunette doesn’t bear its name for nothing. California is known for sunny weather – and what does the sun do to our hair? That’s right, they’re being lightened up. The technique thus creates a natural look, as if kissed by the California sun.
This is ensured by filigree highlights in hair with a darker undertone. The colors of the strands are based on the respective natural hair color, so that the most natural possible result is created. The different nuances not only give the hair more freshness, but also more liveliness and fullness.
California brunette: This is how the trend is worn
In principle, the highlighting technique suits every type of hair, as it can be tailored to your own complexion and hair colour. However, the California brunette is primarily aimed at those who have a darker basic shade of hair. The highlights in lighter tones are applied like a balayage or freehand highlights, making the entire hair appear lighter. This allows wearers of the trend color to give their hair a visual upgrade without changing the hair color as a whole.
Excited about the California brunette? It is always helpful to bring inspirational pictures to the hairdresser we trust. What we love about the sun-kissed look: It looks effortless and natural while still letting the hair shine and framing our face harmoniously.
