If I had to pick one hair-color trend that has defined the 2020s so far, it no doubt would be money piece hair. Yes, I realize we're only a few years into the decade, but tell me, were you able to scroll on TikTok in 2020 or 2021 without seeing brunettes with platinum-blonde pieces, chunky streaks of all colors, or face-framing tendrils of varying shades and hues? Because I know I wasn't, and I also know that's a pretty good indication that the trend is far too popular to fade away so soon. In fact, money pieces are as popular as ever right now, so if you're looking for even more inspo on the hair trend to wear in 2022, we've got 15 ideas for ya below. And if you're totally new to the phrase "money piece" and are just learning about the trend, let's start with the basics, first.
What is a money piece in hair?
Maybe you know it as a face-framing highlight, but a money piece is essentially a set of very little highlights orbabylights back to back around the front hairline, says NYC-based colorist Kim Bonondona. “Because the piece is right in the front, it becomes the focal point of the client's hair and draws attention to their face,” she says. “The highlight is usually the lightest and the boldest piece of the hair.” A money piece can be worn alone (picture those TikTok-famous bright chunky streaks) or paired with other highlights and balayage.
How do I give myself money pieces?
It's simple—you don't. I kid, but unless you're an expert at bleaching your own hair, you should leave this one to the pros. Since a money piece is placed right front and center, there's really no hiding things if you screw up. The good news is Bonondona says money pieces are, ironically enough, pretty affordable and fast to achieve, so there's really no need to cut corners.
And now for the fun part! I give you 15 gorge examples of money piece hair to save for your next color appointment.
1Balayage With Money Piece Highlights
Bonondona's favorite way to wear the money piece? A full head of balayage with blonde pieces throughout the hair and a heavier, bolder platinum money piece in the front. The end result is less stark and severe and more soft with sweeping color.
2Brown Hair With Money Piece Highlights
FYI, this is the photo I will be showing my colorist the next time I want to add a little lightness in my brown hair with highlights. If you also prefer something a little more realistic and effortless, ask for a money piece that resembles the light strokes of color that someone would naturally get from the sun.
3Bob Haircut With Face-Framing Highlights
Face-framing layers not your thing? Try face-framing streaks in instead. “The bold and light blonde streak right in the front will contour the client's hair,” Bonondona says. Keep the ends thick with a blunt, long bob haircut and use your color to highlight your facial features the same way that layers around your face can.
4Ombré Hair With Money Piece Highlights
Even if you're going for a more rooted look overall or an ombré color, you can still bring the money piece all the way up to the top of the root to make it stand out even more.
5Brown Balayage Money Piece Hair
See how that pop of color in the front of this brown hair balayage look really brings your focus to the eyes? Money pieces are known for being a bold style choice, but Bonondona says they can also soften, brighten, and accentuate someone’s facial features by enhancing their skin color and their eye color.
6Cool-Tone Blonde Money Pieces
A cool-tone blonde money piece, like the ash blonde color shown here, looks especially amazing on those with medium skin tones and blush or cool undertones.
7Bold Money Pieces
Although blonde is a popular choice for money pieces, Bonondona says they can also be an array of different colors, ranging from fantasy shades like pink or blue or even a brown to look more natural. This coppery shade of red hair almost resembles a penny, which is pretty fitting since we're talking about money pieces here.
8Caramel Money Pieces
Part of the reason why money pieces are so freakin' popular is because of how customizable the look is. If you like to make a bold statement with your hair color, Bonondona says to try a thicker, more prominent streak, like the caramel hair color money piece shown here.
9Micro Money Pieces
…But if you prefer something a little subtler, try a thinner section but still nice and bright and close to the root. This ash-brown hair that cascades into sandy blonde looks lived in and cool without trying too hard.
10Face-Framing Highlights and Lowlights
If your color looks flat, think about getting a money piece and a mix of highlights and lowlights to add dimension. “It’s usually the brightest piece, so behind it would be darker or less blonde, giving the hair some contrast,” Bonondona explains.
11Strawberry Blonde Money Piece
If you're looking for a fast and low-maintenance way to add a little ~spice~ to your balayage, might I suggest a money piece? This strawberry-blonde look instantly adds brightness and dimension and will grow out seamlessly with little upkeep required.
12Auburn Hair With Blonde Highlights
“The closer the shade matches your natural, the more subtle it will be,” Bonondona explains. Or in other words, the darker the base and the brighter the highlights, the more your money piece will pop, like this face-framing streak against auburn hair.
13Money Piece and Side Bangs
Sooo what about bangs, you ask? Bonondona says money pieces can sometimes be hard to see on front bangs that fall forward and cover the hairline. To make your money piece more visible, try side bangs or a shorter face-framing piece that will be worn to the side and not forward.
14Money Piece Tendrils
Not only is the actual color of the money piece versatile, but so is the way you style it. Wear it straight, curly, or crimped, or as Bonondona suggests, in a ponytail or braid by pulling the pieces out and letting them hang naturally and free.
