A new hair coloring technique called the French-girl highlight is gaining attention for its subtle, low-maintenance approach to adding light and dimension. The method draws inspiration from French-girl beauty standards observed during Paris Fashion Week.
Treehouse Studio founder Travis Ogletree created the French-girl highlight after feeling inspired by the low-maintenance color he saw in Paris. He describes it as a foil-based alternative to balayage that delivers a cleaner lift while keeping a natural, softly grown-out appearance. Ogletree notes that the goal is a result so effortless it prompts the question of whether any color was applied at all.
