Understanding the Pastel Pops of Color Trend
Before delving into the technicalities, it’s important to understand the essence of the pastel pops of color trend. This trend involves incorporating soft, light shades into the hair, creating a striking contrast against the natural or pre-lightened base color. The possibilities are endless, ranging from delicate pinks and purples to refreshing blues and greens. With this trend, you can offer your clients a unique and personalized look that complements their style and personality.
The Point-Cut Lob
The point-cut lob hairstyle is a versatile and modern haircut that has gained immense popularity in recent years. It combines the sophistication of a bob with the length and versatility of longer hair. The point-cut technique involves cutting the hair with the scissors held vertically, creating soft and textured ends. This technique adds movement, dimension, and a touch of edge to the hair, making it an ideal combination for showcasing vibrant pastel pops of color.
