\"The nostalgia of grunge and bold looks are taking over the soft and blended look from years prior,\" professional hairstylist and Redken certified hair colorist Hannah Yoo told \"Good Morning America.\"

She adds, \"We are ready to create a bolder statement with hair -- especially now with people staying home. We are ready to try a new look.\"

For bolder lines and more contrast, Yoo recommends foiling back-to-back slices of hair lightener and a dark contrasting color in between as opposed to a soft sweeping motion of balayage highlighting.
