No matter what you call it, foliage is a trend that’s here to stay, whether it’s soft and subtle or bright and bold. Most clients are asking for it, and most colourists are incorporating it into their work. With the warmer weather just around the corner, everyone’s ready to go a little lighter and what better way to start?
But first, let’s get one thing straight: there are countless techniques, looks, and interpretations when it comes to foliage. It really depends on your colourist’s approach and that’s the beauty of it!
For those wanting a soft, barely-there colour, starting with fine foliage throughout is a beautiful option. Think of delicate, hand-painted strands through the ends to create an overall lift, perfect for brunettes who want a subtle brightening and that effortless, lived-in, “just got back from a summer holiday” vibe. It’s the kind of colour that makes everyone envy that sun-kissed glow.
Adding foliage around the money piece, keeping the colour sweeping from the roots around the face and through to the ends, definitely lifts and frames the face beautifully. Finishing it off with a soft root smudge helps melt everything together seamlessly creating that dreamy, blended colour melt that feels natural, radiant, and full of dimension.
