The hair strobing, what is it?

The hair strobing is the trend that will soon land in all hairdressing salons. Derived from the strobing make-up trend, which highlights, thanks to the illuminator, the luminous parts of the face , the hair strobing applies to do the same, but on the hair. The hairdresser therefore comes to create light on certain parts of the hair in order to make shadows appear and thus obtain shaded hair . We use blond to create light and darker colors to bring relief and depth to the hair. Blonde or brown, hair strobing is possible on any color and hair type.

What is the difference between hair strobing and hair contouring?

The hair strobing technique is more pronounced than the hair contouring (also inspired by the contouring make-up tendency). The latter places the color on the hair according to the morphology of the face. The new trend applies to illuminate and create shadows with blonde while the hair contouring instead uses the dark to play on the shaded hair. Both techniques aim at the same thing: a natural result . Namely: it is quite possible to mix the 2 techniques and thus create an even deeper visual effect on the hair.

Is hair strobing a sweep?

Yes and no. Unlike a classic sweep that applies throughout the head, the hair strobing plays with light only on the contours of the face and on the top of the head . However, it remains a wick effect around the hair visage.Le strobing is quite technical (more complicated than scanning) since the clarifications are made on different places of the hair in small touches. The rule: no more than 2 tones apart with the natural color. It is therefore best to do the hair strobing in salon. The price is in general, equal to a sweep, around 85 € .
