The Top Balayage Service Trends Of The Season
Are you ready to schedule your first balayage service? Before you book an appointment, take a look at what you need to know about this coloring technique and the hottest trends in balayage right now.
What Is Balayage?
Balayage is a highlighting technique that doesn't rely on the traditional foil method. The salon professional will hand paint the color directly onto your hair. This creates a soft, natural color. Even though all balayage is hand-painted, it doesn't all look the same. You can choose the color (or colors), placement, and intensity that works best for your individual needs and aesthetic preferences.
What Are the Hot Balayage Colors Right Now?
You won't find one universal "best" balayage technique. Instead, there are cycles or seasons of colors and approaches that gain popularity. If you're new to balayage (or hair color), you may want to start with a top trend that you've seen online, on celebs, or on your best friends.
While these popular approaches to highlight color are trendy right now, some of the top ideas may not mesh with your needs or your style. This makes it important to work with a salon professional who understands the process and can help you to select a color that complements your overall appearance.
As the weather cools and the seasons change, warm up your hair with a popular autumn caramel hue. Hand-painted highlights in this borderline orange-blond color can spice up brunette locks. Pair a caramel with slightly lighter (and blonder) highlights to create a dimensional look that sparkles with brightness and adds shine. A darker mocha caramel balayage technique is another top option to warm up brunette hair.
If you have lighter locks, consider a popular wintery white/bright trend. White blond highlights on lighter hair have a subtle snow princess vibe. A beige-white or coconut-colored highlight on darker hair plays up cool tones, creates a wintery look, and will make your strands stand out from the pack.
What Are the Trendy Balayage Hair Service Highlight Styles?
Color isn't the only choice you have. You will also need to select a style (or cut) and placement for the highlights. The overall style you choose depends on your face shape, personal preferences, hair type, and hair texture.
Long loose layers are an ideal option for wavy hair. Add in a few face-framing hand-painted highlights and you'll have a subtle, post-summer, sun-kissed look all fall and winter long. If your hair is thinner or straighter, consider an angled bob or lob as a base for the balayage.
