The principle: your own natural hair color or highlights of similar nuances are worked into colored hair. This is done so deftly and delicately that no transitions are visible.

HOW LIVED – IN HAIR COLOR IS DONE

It works on any hair color and complements you in any situation, whether you’re just out running errands or walking down a runway. It’s part sophisticated bedhead, part effortlessly chic, and it gives you the appearance of “Oh, I can’t be bothered with my hair color” while having jaw-dropping locks. We start by searching for your natural hair color! After trying several color trends and lightening their hair, many women are far removed from their natural hair tone. This however, needs to be determined. The best hairdressers have a good eye for that and are able to discern the original blonde or brown well. Hint: the best way to identify your natural hair color is in daylight at the hairline. Once the right nuance is found, the hairline is first dyed with the mixed natural hair color. Lived in Color is neither balayage or ombré, it’s a way of blending highlights and color to allow your color to grow out naturally. The lived in look is an end result. It’s a look that can actually be achieved doing a balayage or foilayage or highlights depending on the amount of lift desired.

Then streaks of this hairline color are worked all the way into the lengths. Finally, strands of lighter shades are added for sophisticated highlights. Lived – in hair color appears particularly natural when the strands have different lengths and widths. The best thing about it: with this coloration method, you can let your hair grow out untroubled. It is, after all, your natural color and bothersome contrasts at the hairline are avoided while the streaked style creates a modern effect. And it lasts for weeks. Lived-in color upkeep is minimal. Rather than finding a gorgeous color that works for you and having to return every handful of weeks to maintain that look, lived-in color allows you to only need a touch-up every 3-6 months.
