Babylights to Blend the Grays

As the trend of embracing natural beauty gains momentum, babylights have become a go-to technique for blending grays seamlessly. Our students have been using babylights to add subtle and natural-looking highlights that soften the transition between colored and gray hair. This technique not only creates a low-maintenance and graceful look but also celebrates the beauty of silver and gray tones. Our students take pride in helping clients embrace their natural hair while still enjoying the benefits of expertly applied color.
