Amid the many creative festival hairstyles across primavera sound, one distinct style kept reappearing and quickly stood out as a rising trend. We call it Chunky Colour, and we built a creative service around it.
The looks are defined by patchwork-style colour placements, carefully positioned to create a face-framing effect. Blonde was the most popular choice, though all colours are possible.
Chunky Colour evolves from dip dye, which first made waves as a rebellious, high-impact trend-bold, contrasting ends dipped in neon, pastel or jewel tones. It offered a low-maintenance way to experiment with colour without full commitment. Over time, the look has evolved beyond its punk roots into something more refined and artistic.
Now known as Chunky Colour, the modern version focuses on strategic placement, such as contouring around the hairline and fringe. Rather than just colouring the ends, stylists use face-framing techniques to highlight natural features, adding depth and drawing attention to the eyes and cheekbones. It’s a clever mix of bold colour and flattering design – a wearable form of hair contouring.
This updated style suits all hair types and lengths, and can be tailored to be subtle or striking, making it a bold and contrasted technique. With a unique look, Chunky Colour stands out from other, more commercial, styles.
