DESIGN BY ESSA MALIK
For most of us, the word ‘contouring’ is a reminder of hours spent before the mirror, trying to define our cheekbones, jawline and nose with the help of makeup.
Celebrities like Kim Kardashian have endorsed the technique, thanks to its ability to perform optical illusions on our faces and literally, change our appearance completely. But regular contouring is now done and dusted and the beauty industry has moved on to another hot, new and somewhat related trend to obsess over: hair contouring.
Yup, you read that right. Hair is the new canvas for contouring and it’s gaining popularity fast. In fact, world-renowned hair expert Charles Worthington has recently introduced hair contouring at his salon in London, prescribing light or dark tones based on customers’ skin colour and features. Read on to find out how you can define your face or enhance your complexion, thanks to some meticulously placed high and low lights!
The next time you visit your hair colourist, follow these instructions to ask for contouring according to your face shape. Happy hair contouring!
