ICYMI, #ScandiHairline is trending again, and whether you’re a blonde, brunette, or redhead — this is one look anyone can achieve. While we’ll also see the Money Piece hair trend coupled with this look, the Scandi Hairline is a specific placement with a subtle finish that promises a natural-looking finish. Read on to hear more about the trend and the must-have products to get the look.
What is the Scandi/Scandinavian Hairline?
Concentrating color application to the hairline area, the Scandi Hairline trend focuses on creating a bright look around the face by lightening the hairline in a flash. This can sometimes include the bang area or baby hairs for a fine, fresh finish.
The look is best achieved with babylights or highlights but can also be used with permanent hair dye when covering grays. The thought is to lighten the hairline just a touch to create a natural-looking finish that resembles days spent outside during the summer.
To achieve a brightened hairline without the damage, utilizing BlondorPlex is essential. Because the baby and fine hairs around the face are so sensitive the Built-in Plex Technology creates up to 90% less hair breakage* ensuring your lightened results are also protected. *Instrumental testing measuring combing resistance of BlondorPlex Bleach + BlondorPlex Permanent Cream Toner vs. BlondorPlex Bleach alone.
