As more and more women are embracing their natural textures, free-hand highlights are making a big comeback. Rather than using the traditional foil technique, lightening agents are painted through curls to further enhance the coiled shapes and shadows, adding instant dimension.
Taking inspiration from those with natural mallen streaks (a section of hair with little to no pigment), this highlighting trend sees a bigger section of hair bleached for a dramatic stripe, usually placed to frame the face.
