78 Face-Framing Highlights To Boost Your Hair

face framing highlights to boost your hair

There are many ways to draw attention to your face, from makeup to clothing but today we’ll discuss perhaps the trendiest and the boldest way to do that: face-framing highlights. It’s not about a chunky money piece, it’s mostly about trendy and delicate contouring that will attract attention to your face and eyes without being in your face.

Face-framing highlights are a coloring technique that cleverly brings out your most attractive features. Face-framing highlights go hand in hand with a balayage because it’s a great way to add more brightness around the face while accentuating both the hair color and facial features, to create a beautiful dimensional effect. Face-framing highlights are usually paired with a slight balayage or ombre effect but if you want a bolder and more contrasting look, you may skip them.
