For an effortless and natural approach to going blonde, balayage may be your solution. Balayage is a freehand painting technique which gives your hair a more natural and three dimensional appearance than other highlighting methods.
Here are a few breathtaking blonde balayage hairstyles you should request of your stylist this spring. Pairing these styles with straight or wavy locks creates stunning looks suitable for dressy occasions as well as more casual ones.
1. Blonde Rooted Balayage
An initial blonde balayage starting right at the roots can be an effective way to achieve lighter hues without appearing abrupt. Just be sure to ask your colorist to apply highlights that fade with time.
Balayage highlights can also provide darker blondes with natural-looking results that look similar to an ombre effect, without all of its commitment and maintenance requirements. Simply ask your colorist to paint highlights that fade from dark to light brown to blonde shades for optimal results.

2. Light Blonde Balayage
If your roots are dark blonde, balayage is the ideal highlighting technique for you.

Furthermore, its subtle fade out makes balayage ideal as an extended solution between root touch-ups!
