The Hair Society’s Tips and Tricks: Brightening the Hairline

Welcome to The Hair Society’s guide to brightening the hairline! During the summer months, clients often seek a brighter, face-framing look to enhance their natural beauty. Here, we’ll share four essential tips to help you achieve that radiant effect. From blending lines of demarcation to finishing with a gloss, these techniques will elevate your styling game. Let’s dive in!

Tip 1: Blend Lines of Demarcation

Achieving seamless blending is the first step to a flawless, multidimensional blonde look. Address any harsh lines of demarcation with the following technique:

Use a high-quality lightening powder like Joico Blonde Life Powder Lightener paired with a 20-volume Blonde Life Coconut Oil Developer. This combination brightens and lifts the hair while blending the contrast between the root and midshaft.

This essential step ensures a natural transition and beautifully blended results.

Tip 2: Add Clear to the Hairline Formula

To avoid over-toning and ensure even results, create a separate formula specifically for the hairline. The hairline often lifts faster and lighter, so a clear gloss mixed with your toner is the key to a flawless finish. Try this quick technique:

Lighten the hairline to the desired level using Joico Blonde Life Lightening Powder.
Section off the hairline and tone the rest of the head with Joico Blonde Life Demi Gloss 10V.
Place a towel over the freshly toned section and gently pull the hairline back over the towel.
Mix Blonde Life Demi Gloss 10V with Clear to tone the hairline for a perfectly even blend.

Using the right lightener ensures your client’s hairline pops with brightness and balance.

Tip 3: Refresh Grown-Out Blondes for All-Over Brightness

For a sun-kissed, all-over brightness that connects pre-lightened ends to a bright root, follow these steps:

Use Joico Blonde Life Powder Lightener to ensure even lift across the head.
Create dimension by using a zig-zag parting comb and foiling thin slices around the head. This adds brightness and seamlessly connects previously lightened ends to the new color.
Lighten the “money pieces” outside of the foil to control development time and achieve a softer, blended blonde.
Apply Joico Blonde Life Quick-Tone Liqui-Crème Toners for a natural glow.

This technique creates a cohesive, radiant result that feels fresh and natural.

Tip 4: Finish with a Gloss

The finishing touch to any brightened hairline is a gloss that enhances the overall look and adds brilliance. For a warm-weather transformation:

Mix Joico’s Blonde Life Demi Glosses in 9V and 8N for a balanced balayage effect. This creates a look that’s vibrant yet soft, offering brightness while maintaining a rich, dimensional brunette base.

This step completes the transformation and ensures your clients leave with luminous, head-turning hair.

Create Stunning Face-Framing Looks with Confidence

By mastering these four tips—blending lines of demarcation, adding clear to the hairline formula, refreshing grown-out blondes, and finishing with a gloss—you’ll create face-framing styles that inspire confidence and satisfaction in your clients.
