Ever have one of those days where you’re itching to change your look? What better way to change up your style than with your hair? This summer, shake it up with the newest trend in hair: balayage!
Balayage is a French term meaning “to paint.” In terms of hair coloring, it allows for the sun-kissed natural look that we all strive to achieve during the summer and is fully customizable to you. Both dark and light colored hair can join in on the fun. Placed in the right places, it can lighten up your features and give you that permanent beachy glow. During hot, lazy summer days, no one wants to worry about coloring their hair, but balayage requires minimal maintenance. It grows out beautifully and naturally leaving no obvious signs of regrowth lines. This calls for less time spent at the hair salon for touch ups and more time working on the perfect tan.
This trend has been seen on celebrities such as Rihanna and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, and this Fashionista joined in on the balayage fun. With the help of her stylist, she brightened up her face and wavy locks with shades of warm honey and blonde. By painting the strands of hair that frame her face and touches around her head, she now has the perfect summer glow.
What’s on the BEAUTY BAR? My advice is to always have professionals handle your hair when you want a change that requires skilled technique. But if you’re brave enough, you can achieve the balayage trend on your hair by using the Revlon Frost & Glow Highlighting kit. To achieve a result similar to this Fashionista’s brightening technique, go a shade or two lighter than your hair color when selecting dye. To keep your newly lightened locks healthy, use OGX Renewing Moroccan Argan Oil conditioner twice a week and Drybar Texas Tea Volumizing Spray for beach waves any day of the week.
