Balayage is a freehand hair painting technique, usually focusing on the top layer of hair, resulting in a more natural and dimensional approach to highlighting. It results in a gradual, soft highlight which can really give you that “sun-kissed” look many of us desire in our hair color. It is a technique that blends the highlights seamlessly into your hair and is perfect if you’re looking to spice up your color without having noticeable, over-dramatic streaks.
While the balayage technique has been around for years, it's become "extremely popular" because of how low maintenance it is. Follow along to discover some of our favorite trending balayage looks.
