Taking off from where we left off last month, let’s check out what is making men’s hair highlights such a big trend this season. Although hair highlights have had their share of glory in different avatars – mostly subtle ones – over the years, not many have been brazen in their readiness to adopt colours and hues that have rocked the looks of models on the ramp or showbiz celebrities (with eccentric style sense). But the ones who do know how to stay abreast of the trends have found their own colour codes to make their style statements.
Depending on the hair trends for the year, the ones who know just what colours suit their mane have taken blonde highlights a notch higher by picking out shades that range from browns and reds to silver and grey. But men, generally, are wont to dismiss any show of beauty enhancement as a sign of male weakness – even in the metrosexual age.
Do you belong to this latter tribe?
You might want to consider a rethink, as the idea behind hair highlights is to complement your personality with refined style notes. When deciding to get highlights for your hair, your point of reference should be a desire to stand out in a crowd, thanks to the highlights on your hair, and not to seek a completely new look.
While subtle always works, even taking it a tad bit towards the attention-drawing colour will give you an edge over your unfashionable colleagues. And if, like most men in this part of the world, you sport black hair, any contrasting colour will give your personality a big boost.
Give it a try.
