A touch of color can be a great way to update an old hairstyle, especially if contrasts are being used cleverly. Two toned layered hairstyles are guaranteed to attract attention and put you on the spotlight, so check out a few stylish ideas for every hair length.
Layered haircuts are undoubtedly some of the
most interesting hairstyles regardless of the hair length
especially if you prefer architectural hairstyles with lots of
geometric accents such as harsh angles and edgy lines. None of the
less, at times even the most complex haircuts can appear a little
bit dull, especially if you are the type of person who loves
variety and wants to make frequent changes in order to explore as
many alternatives as possible.
Adding a touch of color in order to create an eye catching contrast
is one of the most frequently used methods to add a touch of
edginess and interest to a hairstyle. From the most conservative
and somewhat traditional color choices to more modern and daring
alternatives, finding the right look for you depends on what you
are trying to get as well as how adventurous you want to go when it
comes to the color choice. While a two toned style can be very
discreet if you select two shades that belong to a similar color
palette, if you choose something to create contrast, particularly
by turning to strong, bold, unexpected colors, the effect will be
much stronger.
The placement of the new color as well as the method used are some
crucial aspects you should think about before choosing the actual
color as these aspects will influence the overall result to a great
extent. Since a bolder color will immediately become a focal point
for your hairstyle, it is important to make sure that the placement
is an optimal one. A wrong placement can draw attention to the
features you are not proud of and maybe even feel self conscious
about, so placing it in an area that draws attention to your best
features is generally the way to go.
Another aspect that can apply to all hair lengths but is especially
important for short to medium hairstyles is the styling
alternative. Many times the additional tone is highlighted by
styling it the best and tends to look a little dull otherwise.
Therefore, it is important to establish whether your are willing to
spend an extra amount of time styling the highlighted area or
not.
The effect it produces after is perhaps the defining factor that
shapes your decision and has the most influence over the final
result. The width of the highlighted area is an important factor
when it comes to the overall boldness of the new look. While thin
hair streaks might be easier to camouflage in the case of a failed
hair coloring experiment, chunkier highlighted streaks will tend to
create an edgier worth admiring look.
In a sense, your tolerance to risk as well as the level of comfort
when it comes to being in the spotlights should be the main factors
to be assessed to be able to make the right decision.
If you are looking for something that will flatter your features
before anything else, you should think of whether you want a color
that will light up your color or that will have a darkening
effect.
In general, the closer to the face a color is, the more intense the
highlighting effect will be. In addition, placing these highlights
closer to the face will also have a framing effect on the facial
features. Considering some of these factors will generally make it
easier to understand your needs and to act based on them.
Due to the fact that in most cases the change from a monochrome
hairstyle to a two toned hairstyle tends to be quite noticeable
weighting all the pros and cons of the decision and analyzing the
factors that the change entitles is crucial in order to be able to
make the right choice that will give you satisfaction over the long
term and get a multitude of positive comments along the
way.
