Kendall Jenner’s Colourist Shares 5 Tips For Natural-Looking Highlights

Ask any hair colourist for the requests they get most often and you'll undoubtedly hear "natural" and "sun-kissed." It makes sense considering the notion incites a sexy narrative — like you just spent a two week holiday relaxing on a white-sand beach in Grand Cayman — and hits on the tone of YHCBB (your hair colour, but better).

Click ahead for her five simple tricks to make dreamy, sun-kissed highlights a reality.
