Balayage is a French word and means to sweep or paint. When we talk about hair, it enables sun-kissed, natural-looking hair color with softer, less noticeable offspring lines. The main idea of being less is more when creating a soft, natural look.
Today, this is the most popular request in any hair salon as it is super easy to maintain and looks chic. It grows out beautifully and naturally so you don’t get an obvious offspring line and can wear it longer between dates. All you really need to do is protect it: use a color protecting shampoo and conditioner when styling, regular treatments, and heat protectant.
Balayage works on both light and dark hair, and pretty much all lengths except very short, cropped hair. Today I want to share the most popular balayage hair ideas for brunettes. Let’s look at that.
Caramel balayage
I can’t think of anything more natural than dark hair with caramel highlights. It looks sun-kissed, sexy, and chic. Such a feminine and fresh modern look! Leave your natural brunette hair as is and add caramel highlights of the shade you want or even darken the roots for a stronger contrast. There are different shades to choose from – both dark and caramel, let yourself be inspired!
Blonde balayage
Shades of blonde are another great idea for brunettes. They’re not as soft as caramel, but they still look good. Rock different shades of blonde on your dark hair and choose matching shades. You can also achieve both caramel and blonde tones. Enjoy!
