Don’t like the idea of sitting in a salon for long hours or damaging your hair by bleaching? You’d be surprised at how light or bright hair colours can go even without intensive bleaching. This is thanks to the invention of “high lift dye”, which essentially tones and lightens your hair without using bleach.

A point to note is that a “high lift colour” is said to work better with virgin hair – aka hair that’s not been previously coloured or lightened. Also, results may vary, especially for those with stubborn, non-porous hair.

Without further ado, here are some gorgeous hair colours to show your stylist (once CB is over and salons start offering full gamut of hair services) that don’t involve bleaching (or at least, very minimally!):

1. Natural Balayage
