1. Emily Blunt’s slicing highlights

Emily Blunt, who recently starred in the epic The Girl on the Train film, is usually sporting a brunette hue, however, she is also not one to shy away from blonde hair highlights.

The starlet took to the red carpet with this fabulous style, rocking super-fine highlighted strands. This technique is known as ‘slicing’ and is great for adding extra depth to the hair, helping give you a sophisticated finish.
