All You Need To Know About Shadow Root Blonde
Wait a minute, we are in winter, right? What a perfect time to switch to shadow root blonde. I don’t mean just any shade of blonde, but a cool technique that’s in style and super trendy. Maybe it’s not really even a technique?!
One thing about beauty and fashion is that they keep evolving. I can still remember when overgrown roots were considered messy and unattractive. But not anymore because shadow roots have come to occupy its rightful place in the hair section. The need for root touch-up’s are few and far between if you have shadow roots.
Normally, your hairstylist would ask you to make sure to come in for some touch-ups when your root color starts showing after dyeing it. But now, times have changed and you would instead be told to preserve that natural root color for a melting effect.
What is shadow root blonde?
It is basically when the roots of your hair is in contrast with the rest of your blonde hair. It can be used to create a highlight, especially when you dye your hair a different color from your natural hair color. Shadow root is also when your natural root color forms what looks like a shadow against your newly dyed blonde hair.
Maybe you have been seeing contrasting blonde hair and perhaps wonder how the result was achieved. It’s simple. All the hairstylist had to do was to leave the roots of the hair untouched when coloring the rest of the hair blonde.
The result is usually a blurred and beautiful transition between your natural hair color and the blonde. It is also a great way to grow out your natural hair color when you are ready to try something different with your hair.
