Long and healthy hair is a lifelong dream for many girls. So when it’s time to freshen up the locks or embrace a new hair color, there are always doubts about the results. Enhancing a natural hair color and adding a touch of color through blonde highlights and subtle money pieces can be a perfect combination for your next salon visit.

Sarah Emilia celebrates the beauty and individuality of her clients on her hairstyling blog. She shares the story of 14-year-old Poppy, a young girl with long, unprocessed hair, making it the second most viewed video on her TikTok page with almost 17 million views and over 1 million likes.

Sarah Emilia makes it clear that Poppy's transformation is personal, so the hairstylist takes her job seriously. The girl has been bullied at school and her decision to go lighter is her own way of regaining her confidence.

The hairstylist understands the assignment and suggests adding some blonde highlights to the lengths and ends of the client, while keeping the original hair color at the roots. The idea is to work with a natural hair color and brighten up the front to get a fresh look. The whole makeover becomes a real self-confidence booster, because it only reinforces the uniqueness of the girl and emphasizes the importance of loving and accepting yourself.
