If you haven’t heard of balayage hair by now, you will. Or, you’ve seen it and you never knew what it was actually called. Personally, I have had all colors and styles of hair. From super long and bleach blonde to a short dark brown bob and everything in between. So far my favorite, which I have kept for over a year now, is balayage.

What is balayage?

Balayage was invented in the 70s but has become more popular now than ever. It is done by hand instead of using foils, and it gives a natural highlight in your hair without touching the roots.

Dark roots are in. Remember when it was embarrassing for your grown out roots to show? Well, that is not the case anymore. Women love the dark rooted look.

Balayage fits all types of hair. The highlights typically are not drastic and only go a few shades lighter than your natural hair. Everyone’s looks different, because it is personalized to your shade and cut.

The best part about this gorgeous hair trend is that it is cheap and low maintenance. I get my hair done only twice a year, because you don’t have to touch up your roots. That saves A LOT of money. Also, it looks good natural, straight, curly, or up in a ponytail or bun. Balayage looks best with a soft curl.

I recommend all girls to try out this trend. Plenty of girls have this popular style. I guarantee it will be in style for a long time. So make an appointment with your hairdresser and ask about this look!
