5. Subtle Mocha Face-Framing
Sometimes, you do not need to color your entire head to achieve a major impact. Subtle mocha face-framing involves focusing the color application exclusively on the hair strands that surround your face. By lifting these specific pieces to a soft, warm mocha shade, you effectively “highlight” your features, drawing attention to your eyes and cheekbones. This is a fantastic option for someone who is hesitant about a full-head color change or someone who wants to freshen up their look with a minimal time investment. It is sophisticated, modern, and provides a soft, glowing frame for your face.
How to Make
Identify the “money piece” sections: the front-most strands of your hair. Use a fine-tooth comb to isolate these sections, then apply your light mocha hair color or lightener starting from about an inch from the root. Use a foiling technique to ensure the color processes evenly. After reaching the desired shade, rinse and apply a clear, hydrating gloss to those pieces to ensure they are as shiny as possible. Since you are only coloring a small portion of your hair, you can afford to use a slightly higher-quality conditioning treatment on these sections to ensure they remain healthy and vibrant.
