Babylights are the new “it” word in haircolor, and a huge trend for summer/fall! “Babylights are slivers of delicate hand painted pieces inspired from naturally sun-kissed or beach look hair – adding personalized ribbons of color to the hair,” says Cortney Crace, Butterfly Studio Salon Color Expert. “This will create polished hair color with the flair of a flirty and playful look. It’s a new application method of freehand balayage, a technique taking smaller sections of hair.”
Babylights are perfect for color first-timers and beginners to highlights who are just looking for a simple way to brighten up their look without a drastic change. By adding small pops of color and subtle dimension to your hair, you can accentuate your facial features and skin tone. Babylights are also a great way to ease into a darker look for fall while still keeping a hint of that summer glow. “There is a huge focus on framing the face. The best example is our hair when we were young or when the sun hits your child’s shiny healthy mane. Babylights are applied with fine detail to give you a specific look as though you were born with it. We see celebrities sporting this look all the time, such as Sarah Jessica Parker for a bolder bronze look, Jenna Dewan Tatum has a subtle tone on tone version and Rosie Huntington – Whitley sports soft blonde baby lights,” says Crace.
