Feline Fierce: This ‘tiger eye hair’ trend is all over Instagram
Just your average bayalage – but with a feline twist.
You might already be familiar with balayage – a hair colouring technique that involves hand-painting subtle highlights for a natural, blended effect. This hair trend has been in the scene for awhile but it seems like it has birthed a new twist. And yes, we’re talking about the ‘tiger eye hair’ – social media’s newest hair colour obsession.
Tigereye or tiger’s eye’ is actually semiprecious rock with a distinct bronze, gold and dark brown stripes – which if you think about it, is a family of rich hues that sounds perfect for the tresses. The tiger eye hair trend adopts the same shades in the precious stone; colourists apply the same hues using the balayage technique. The result? A rich, bronzey, warm and absolutely beautiful blend that is reminiscent of caramel, chocolate, fall and well, everything good.
