Nothing adds oomph to your appearance like fresh, vibrant highlights. And these days the most popular highlighting method is contourage (rhymes with “entourage”), also called color contouring. Declared the best hair color trend of 2017, contourage combines balayage (a French highlighting technique developed in the 1970s in which tiny tendrils of hair are meticulously hand-painted instead of using foils), and contouring -- not unlike contouring with makeup, but using strands of hair instead. Highlights are colored in gradations of light and dark and placed in a pattern that enhances facial features.
