Experimenting with hair dye can be intimidating, especially if you’ve never colored your hair before. Your natural color will eventually grow back, but the possibility of a bad dye job in the form of streakiness or brassy tones can be terrifying. That doesn’t mean you should be scared away from taking the plunge, though. If you’re looking to change up your look but want to play it safe, consider asking your stylist about teasylights. Teasylights are a hair coloring technique that offers natural-looking highlights and a seamless blend from dark to light tones. Plus, it’s easy to maintain. Ahead, we tapped Matrix artistic director Nick Stenson and colorist and founder of Nous Haircare Tylor Johnson to learn more about this hair color technique.
