Color shading

To create this look, Licari divided the top part of one woman's hair into sections and made the hair color lighter one layer at a time. The shading trend leaves her hair looking its lightest in a halo.

Mohawk highlights

For this style, Licari added highlights down the center and on the ends of her hair. When her hair is put up, she’ll look like she has a colored mohawk. Anyone can have this look as long as they don’t make their hair too light.

Rose gold
