We’re always looking for ways to spruce up our hair, and the Scandi hairline trend is doing that for many in Summer 2023. Giving you a sunkissed look, it’s a cheaper and safer way to become the ultimate blonde.
Let’s face it, nobody has the money to bleach their whole head of hair white blonde just for the Summer, especially on a student budget. However, what if we told you there’s a way to get the same long, but for a fraction of the price?
That’s what the Scandi hairline trend is, and it’s all over TikTok and the rest of the internet as the latest summer trend.
Intrigued? We don’t blame you. We’ll explain how you can get involved.
What Is The Scandinavian Hairline Trend?
The summer trend is simply bleaching your baby hairs and the hair just around your face so that it’s brighter than the rest of your head.
The Scandi hairline trend is most commonly done by those who are already blonde, turning the front section a white blonde.
Though brunettes have also gotten involved by dyeing their baby hairs a lighter shade too, the whole reason it’s called the ‘Scandi’ trend is to replicate how very, *very* blonde Scandinavian hair can get.
Clearly, everyone is looking for inspiration at the Scandi hairline trend hashtag has a whopping 12.5 million views on TikTok.
So, no biggie really.
Bleaching the hair at the front of your face is meant to replicate where the sun would hit it the most, making it more blonde than the rest. If anyone remembers Sun-In, then it’s essentially doing that, but a lot more effectively.
The Hair Style Will Save Your Head And You Bank Account
Anyone who has bleached their hair will know that it’s a costly job. Sure, you can do it at home and save some money, but that’s quite a risk unless you’re 100 percent certain of what you’re doing.
Plus, bleaching your whole head is damaging, especially if you do it over and over. It can make your hair really dry and brittle, and even make it full out — and nobody wants that.
By doing the Scandi hairline trend, you’re only bleaching a tiny part of your hair, so the cost will be massively cut. Plus, by applying it to the small section, you’re reducing the risk of damage to a large portion of your scalp.
These reasons are part of why the trend has become so popular, especially as it’s a lot less maintenance than other dye jobs.
How To Do The Scandi Hair Trend
First of all, go to a hairdresser. You can try and do it yourself, but for all the hassle you might as well get a professional to do it. Plus, you’ll get a bit of a pamper, a natter, and a free coffee thrown in. What’s not to like?
At this point, lots of hairdressers will be well aware of what the Scandi hairline trend is. In fact, they’ve probably already done it. But come prepared with photos and videos anyway, particularly of people who have similar hair tones or lengths to you.
You’ll want to decide just how much of your hair you’ll want to bleach before you arrive. Remember, it is only meant to be the section framing the face and your baby hairs, so don’t go pulling large chunks forward to by dyed; you’ll only be disappointed.
After that, it’s just a case of getting it redone every now and then and showing it off!
