There are lots of ways to draw attention to your favorite facial features. A haircut, as well as color, makeup, jewelry, and upper-body clothing all play a role in framing the face. It’s just a matter of deciding how to put them all together to make the best presentation. Today we talk about trendy face-framing highlights as the quickest and most foolproof way to emphasize your best assets. Face-framing highlights are a coloring technique that cleverly brings out your most attractive features. Explain to your hairstylist that you are looking for strategically placed waves and carefully selected coloring clues that will offer hints as to where the eye should be drawn. A good hairstylist will keep those things in mind as they are cutting, styling and coloring your hair. They’ll help you decide where and how to place face framing emphasis in a subtle way, ensuring that all eyes are always on you!
1. Long Brown Hair with Dark Blonde Face Framing
Chunky honey-blonde highlights that flow along the sides of the face are a creative way to draw attention to the eyes and mouth areas. The almond brown base color is upgraded with hints of gold and seems to shimmer and glow in the light.
2. Collarbone Choppy Blonde Bob
The center-parted choppy bob is made so much more spectacular with face-framing blonde highlights and transitional spicy hues. Fun and youthful, it’s the perfect solution to emphasize your cheekbones.
3. Waist-Length Messy Brown Waves
There’s no better way to liven up long and dull tresses that have lost their luster than adding some face-framing highlights on dark hair. Walnut brown tones run throughout the midsection all the way to the ends and outline your beautiful facial angles.
4. Choppy Brown Lob with Caramel Highlights
Sassy, sensual, and parted in the middle, the warm blonde tones of these striking highlights do a perfect job of accentuating the blue eyes and killer cheekbones. The sliced shoulder-length lob sets the stage for your dainty facial features.
5. Long Wavy Honey Balayage Hair
Sun-kissed-blonde face-framing highlights on brown hair are an easy approach to revamping your look if you want to brighten the pale complexion. Slightly messy, the minimal wave gives a big boost of body and volume without being overwhelming.
6. Dark Brown Cut with Subtle Blonde Highlights
Sleek and sultry, just the slightest hint of blonde highlights on mahogany-brown hair does an excellent job of framing the face. An off-center part and long feathered sides also help to set the face in a picture-perfect backdrop of gorgeous chocolate waves.
7. Rusty Blonde Balayage Waves for Dark Hair
Long and tousled darker waves upgraded with rusty blonde balayage will make you look youthful and fun-loving. The lightest pieces near the face provide a natural-looking effect. It’s an adorable option for coarse, wavy hair.
8. Long Hair with Ash Blonde Balayage
Lavender-tinted ash blonde face-framing highlights for dark brown hair are a modern way to make long hair look more grown up. The side part line and a long swoop of peek-a-boo bangs help to emphasize the lower part of the face, drawing attention to the cute chin and sexy lips.
9. Wavy Dark Brown and Blonde Balayage Hairstyle
The rich brown base color with a soft blonde balayage does a lovely job of framing a narrow face. Waves cascade around the shoulders in this sporty and trendy hairstyle that will shave years off your appearance.
10. Honey Bronde Waves
The honey-bronde tendrils curl delicately along the face and neck, and the over-grown bangs are aimed to hit below the chin, which has a narrowing effect. It’s a versatile hairstyle and a great way to show off super-long locks.
