Our fave color trend to come out of 2020? The ’90s color revival of chunky highlights and bold money pieces galore! Here’s why we love it: This high-contrast look is a go-to for the client who wants to maintain their dark base but add a pop of brightness. Or maybe it’s just giving us all of the nostalgic feels—back to the days of Spice Girls, Blockbuster Videos and Winona Ryder movies? OK, back to the hair.
