Although muted pastels have been the next logical step after 2018’s platinum blonde revival, the two toned hair is a growing color trend. This dual color style separates the hair in thick sections, creating unmistakable contrast. Spotted by Vogue on artist, Billie Eilish , it is a definite shift away from soft hand painting techniques like the balayage.

Although gloss is not a color, it’s worth mentioning that all these hues work well with sleek straight hair. Shiny and smooth no matter the color is becoming the essential pallet for most of these looks. But they all would be impossible to pull of in humid weather without a few handy tools. So maybe it’s time to dust off your flattening iron and don’t forget to prime your hair with some heat styling products. We recommend Bed Head by TIGI Straighten Out: 98% Humidity Defying Straightening Cream (₱ 1,500), that keeps hair straight no matter the weather.
