But what is hair contouring, you may ask. The idea is to freehand colour hair giving it a less stripy, more natural look to highlights. Despite being similar to its cousins ombré, bronde, and balayage, hair contouring is meant to better frame your face by highlighting parts like your cheekbones and creating the impression of depth and density. "Highlighting and shading certain parts of the hair can create the illusion of a different face shape, depending on what you want to accentuate", explains Nick Penna (a colourist and the owner of SalonCapri in Boston) via Allure. "Just like the makeup technique, light shades are for highlighting and darker shades are for creating a shadow effect”, Nick also explains.

And my own take on this trend:
Call it ombré, bronde, balayage or hair contouring; there is no better time to experience with a bit of colour, whatever the trend may be named. Unlike some weird hair trends from last season (remember the granny hair?), hair contouring is very much real and here to stay. What do you think, yay or nay? Let me know below beauties!

I love this look! It's very similar to the new 'Bronde' which is a mixture between blonde and brown shades. All these new hair trends, I can barely keep up!

Never heard of this concept. To be honest, I think giving it a new name/label is just another way to revamp the ombre trend and invoke interest again, pretty much the same as 'strobing' (it's just highlighting, come on now guys). Your hair is lovely though!xx

I had no idea this was even a thing but I have been a fan of balayage in the past and even have a bit of ombre in my hair at the moment. Definitely need to book a visit to the hairdresser soon though and get it redone. I love your hair btw x

Geralmente as pessoas exageram neste tipo de tendências e o resultado é um cabelo claramente artificial. Acho que conseguiste um resultado bonito, mas sem exageros :D

Hahaha, I do remember granny hair and it was... weird. I say YAY to this trend, I think it's a great way to modernize your hair without going radical, and it can work in every hair color and type. I love your take on this trend, too. You look gorgeous!!
