Tear your eyes away from the seqins! glitter! feathers! satin! pink! that ruled the Victoria’s Secret runway, and you’ll spot a particular hair trend on the heads of the Angels – and it’s not balayage.
Dip-dyed ends had no place this year, with models instead working richly hued, multi-dimensional tresses with highlights from roots to ends. Behold:
Those in the know have termed the technique tiger eye hair, named after the semi-precious stone with blazes of gold, bronze and mahogany. In hair terms, that translates to coppery or caramel highlights on a rich chestnut or chocolate base.
We first spotted the trend on Chrissy Teigen, J.Lo and Jessica Biel last month, and it seems we weren’t the only ones, with Alessandra Ambrosio, Lily Aldridge and Jasmine Tookes all rocking variations of the technique.
Tiger’s eye hair catches the light beautifully, and is the easiest way to add the illusion of texture and dimension in dark hair. Tempted? So are we.
