Okay, so, I’ve been seeing this “Scandinavian hairline” thing all over my feed lately, and honestly, I was intrigued. It’s supposed to give you that super natural, sun-kissed look, like you just spent a summer in, well, Scandinavia, I guess. I decided to give it a shot and see what the fuss was about.
First off, I did some digging, I watched a bunch of videos, trying to figure out exactly how to achieve this look. Turns out it’s not as complicated as it might seem. The whole idea is to lighten the baby hairs around your face, making it look like they’ve been naturally bleached by the sun.
So, I gathered my supplies. I already had some hair bleach and developer that I use from time to time. I also grabbed a fine-tooth comb, some cotton swabs, and a small bowl and brush for mixing. I made sure I had an old towel around my shoulders because, you know, bleach can be messy.
I mixed a small amount of bleach and developer, following the instructions on the box. Then, with my hair pulled back, I carefully applied the bleach to my hairline using a small brush, and try to apply it to the baby hair part. This was the trickiest part, trying to get those tiny hairs without getting bleach all over my forehead. I used the comb to gently separate the baby hairs from the rest of my hair, making it a bit easier.
I only left the bleach on for a few minutes, probably around 5-7 minutes, because I didn’t want to fry my hair, and I definitely didn’t want to end up with a stark white line around my face. I kept a close eye on it, checking the color every minute or so.
- Mix bleach and developer
- Apply to baby hairs with a brush
- Wait 5-7 minutes, checking color frequently
Once the hair looked a bit lighter, like it was lightened a shade or two. I jumped in the shower and thoroughly rinsed it out, making sure to shampoo and condition my hair really well afterwards. I also applied some hair masks to avoid making my hair dry.

After drying my hair, I have to say, I was pretty happy with the results! It wasn’t a dramatic change, but it did give me a subtle, sun-kissed look. My hairline looked a little softer, a little brighter, and it blended really nicely with the rest of my hair.
Final Thoughts
Overall, I’d say this Scandinavian hairline thing is worth a try if you’re looking for a subtle way to brighten up your look. Just be careful with the bleach, and don’t leave it on for too long! I found that it is easy to do it at home with some preparation.
