How to bring a little joie de vivre to your new year hair? Add some highlights – or, more specifically, babylights. Last week, Dakota Johnson debuted some beachy blonde babylights in her otherwise chestnut-brown hair while out and about in Santa Monica, and today Priyanka Chopra showed off her own newly-lighter locks on her Instagram Stories: “New year new hair!” she captioned the video, which showed her flicking her tousled waves from side to side.
Babylights are the most natural-looking way to lighten hair–particularly dark hair. The technique involves painting bleach onto finer pieces of hair, as opposed to the thicker pieces coloured in the more commonly-used highlighting method. If you like a subtle, sun-kissed look, this is the hair colour trend for you.

The beauty of babylights is that they help draw attention to facial features, add dimension to hair and are super easy to maintain—you don’t need to hit the salon every six weeks to keep them in good shape. In fact, they actually look better as they grow in, which is a box ticked for the low-maintenance among us. One to consider ahead of your next salon appointment.
