Four Creative Ways to Customize the Calico Hair Trend
Do you love the chunky hair trend? Indeed, Calico hair is incredibly popular right now. Actually, many clients want this fun color style. But maybe you want something completely unique to you. So, we want to share our deepest customization guide today. Let us explore exactly how this trend works and four creative ways to wear it.
What Exactly Is Calico Hair Placement?
First, let us explain the actual calico technique. Indeed, this style uses heavy color blocking. Actually, we paint thick, chunky sections of contrasting colors onto your hair. So, we do not blend the colors softly together like a balayage. Instead, we place solid color panels directly next to each other. Plus, we often put darker colors underneath and brighter colors on the top layers. Thus, this specific chunky placement makes the colors truly pop against each other.
Pick and Choose Your Perfect Vibe
Next, you must know that this trend is highly flexible. Actually, you do not have to copy anyone else. You can simply pick and choose the exact elements that fit your personal vibe. For example, you can change the panel sizes to be thicker or thinner. Or, you can mix crazy neon colors with soft natural tones. Ultimately, your calico hair should match your unique daily lifestyle and personal aesthetic perfectly.
1. The Soft Natural Calico
First, let us look at a soft natural calico style. Indeed, not everyone wants bright, crazy colors. Actually, one client wanted a highly wearable version for her office job recently. So, we used rich brown, deep black, and bright honey blonde panels. Plus, we placed these natural shades in the classic chunky pattern. Thus, the hair looks very edgy but remains completely professional. Ultimately, this soft mix offers the perfect daily balance.
2. The Sweet Berry Calico
Next, we must mention the sweet berry calico. Indeed, this bright style is extremely fun. Actually, this look replaces the normal copper pieces entirely. So, we paint deep purple, bright pink, or rich magenta panels instead. Then, we mix those cool berry tones with classic black and bright blonde blocks. As a result, the hair looks incredibly vibrant and fresh. Thus, this cool berry mix offers a very playful, feminine twist.
3. The Y2K Raccoon Tail Mix
Also, we can add bold stripes to your new look. Actually, one client wanted a very heavy early 2000s vibe. So, we painted a striped, horizontal raccoon tail on one front money piece. Next, we left the other money piece completely solid blonde. Meanwhile, the back of her hair featured thick, chunky calico blocks. Thus, this mixed pattern creates a highly custom, alternative style. Ultimately, we can blend different retro trends perfectly together.
4. Vivid Blue Dip Dye Tips
Furthermore, you can use the chunky placement for crazy vivid shades. For example, another client wanted a highly creative vivid look. First, we painted thick platinum blonde and pitch black strands. Next, we gave those blonde strands cool, vivid blue dip dye tips. Thus, we used the chunky calico pattern as a base for a totally new, vivid style.
