Tortoiseshell
Find an effortless natural look with the balayage trend! Also known as ombre, dip-dye or babylights, balayage involves skillfully applying hair lightener by hand in order to create a gradient of brightness at your ends – creating the ideal way to create sun-kissed blonde or naturally sun-kissed brunette looks that require low maintenance but look beautiful on all skin tones.
This tortoiseshell balayage features warm tones of caramel, chestnut and gold that blend beautifully with chocolate brown highlights for an effortlessly glamorous effect. Additionally, its heavier face-framing highlights and shadow rooting help enhance its effect further.
This subtle balayage style is ideal for deep brunettes who prefer longer gaps between touch-up appointments. The elegant combination of rich mocha base color with warm honey and caramel highlights, accentuating subtle reddish-brown chestnut near their roots makes this shade look radiant and healthy. Pair this shade with a deep conditioning mask for best results.
Ashy Blonde
Ashy blonde caramel, one of 2024’s trendiest blonde hues, blends light browns with cool undertones for a sophisticated finish that suits most skin tones. Medium to long hair types that can be styled either curly or straight will look gorgeous when sporting this hue.
Brunettes looking to add subtle pops of color can use balayage as an effective solution, without overshadowing their natural hair color. Achieve maximum impact with rich chocolate cherry balayage to complement their deep brown base color!
Cyd Charisse of Haircolorist says the key to successful balayage in 2024 will be subtlety. She suggests asking your stylist for “babylights,” fine hand-painted highlights that create naturally sun-kissed tones that add dimension and dimension to sun-kissed blonde hues such as platinum or icy blonde; babylights work particularly well when used on blunt pixie cuts or long sleek bobs with bangs.
Smoky Silver
Women looking to make an impression should opt for a balayage with silver highlights as it offers both warm and cool tones that create an eye-catching combination that’s sure to turn heads. This beautiful style guarantees to turn heads!
This stunning hair color is ideal for anyone seeking to add depth and dimension to their brown locks, and works particularly well on textured or messy locks. Additionally, this is an excellent low-maintenance solution if bleach is too harsh for their needs.
Vivid colors such as electric blue, fiery red and vibrant purple can be blended together through the balayage technique to achieve striking results that draw the eye and turn heads. Balayage with vibrant colors is an incredible way to express one’s creativity and personality!
Dimensional Red
One can find various kinds of balayage to suit different hair lengths and textures, for instance a blonde girl could ask her stylist to add subtle light brown highlights which add dimension and create an undone and timeless style that feels chic and timeless.
On the other hand, brunette girls can choose warm caramel balayage as a highlight technique to add depth and dimension. This eye-catching style will bring an undeniably mesmerizing glow that is sure to turn heads!
Cyd Charisse, hair colorist and Hairstory contributor, predicts that 2018’s balayage trends will be more subtle than in years past. She suggests we will witness more lived-in versions of balayage perfect for girls looking to extend time between salon visits, with bright pops of vibrant color like burgundy red adding extra dimension.
