“The Scandi Hairline trend is a lightening service, usually involving bleach, that gently and quickly lifts the fine hairs at the front hairline,” says Authentic Beauty Concept advocate Justin Toves-Vincilione.
In other words, it’s a method of bleaching the baby hairs at the front of the scalp. “To brighten up the entire hairline, some colourists may choose to lighten the hairline in the back to create a more cohesive halo effect,” he says. “When done correctly, the Scandi hairline will look visibly lighter around the hairline with a soft pop of brightness, mimicking the look of a natural blonde. The final look is sun-kissed, blended, and frames the face beautifully.”
Rita Hazan, celebrity colourist, says this technique isn’t new, just newly viral. “For many colourists, this technique is commonly used to blend out blondes and boost the brightness of the new hair colour! In other words, TikTok just coined a new name for it and sent it out to the masses. Still, though, it’s effective. “This technique is a relatively low-cost way to give your blonde a boost and creates the illusion of a ‘halo’ effect on your hair,” she says.
Toves-Vincilione says that this trend is similar to the “money piece” trend that took hold a few years ago, albeit more subtle. For context, with the “money piece” technique, a stylist takes a small piece of hair on either side of the face and lightens it to create a bright face-frame. “The Scandi-hairline trend is a bit softer, more dialled back, and is intended to look even more natural than similar trends we’ve seen in the past,” he says.
