Beautiful Balayage Haircut Ideas
Beautiful balayage has taken the world of hair by a sunkissed storm, and it is here to stay. A mellow, radiant canvas brushed with subtle strokes of warmth, a balayage hair treatment will leave your locks glowing with pleasure. Its main selling points - notably natural, undamaged locks that exude a basking-in-the-sun-off-the-Amalfi-coast vibe – have cemented it as a year-round favourite. Once you’ve achieved these luminous locks though, how should you style your hair? Read on for our definitive list of balayage haircut ideas, guaranteed to accentuate your warm tones and transport you to a week in the tropics, whatever the season!
Short hair, don’t care! When you think of balayage you may envision long, flowing locks dipped in sun light. News flash. Short balayage hairstyles are having a moment. Balayage works especially well on lobs, especially if texture is involved. To maximise the impact of a balayage lob, tactically place highlights around the face to accentuate your best features. Hair styling is also a must! Style your balayage lob with curls or waves, any texture will maximise the impact of those glowing highlights and add a spring to your step as well as your hair!
Emma Stone looks jaw-dropping in her trademark auburn lob. Here she’s mastered the subtle balayage by adding strawberry blonde tones amongst the ends of her russet brown locks.
If we’re talking about texture, how could we not mention curls. Balayage lends itself extremely nicely to girls with a natural bounce to their hair. Whether its tight coils or loose ringlets, the curly balayage effect is extremely natural as any and all seams stay miraculously hidden in the curls. We especially adore the appearance of darker hair with light highlights.
Just check out Izzy Bizu’s stunning curly balayage. Darker layers frame her face which lighten out exquisitely at the ends.
Want shaggy, effortless layers that hit the sun when you go outside? 2021’s timeless trending curtain bangs look extra stunning with balayage highlights. If you’re looking for low maintenance, opt for balayage with curtain bangs. They are the perfect framing tools for your face, whatever your face shape, and work with practically any hair type too!
Channel your inner Lizzie McGuire with Hillary Duff’s blonde balayage with curtain bangs variation. A staple for blonde balayage hairstyles, her golden blonde roots melt into beachy blonde lengths that tumble down her shoulders. Wear this look half up and half down for an extra chic, ultra-relaxed hair style that can face anything life throws at you.
How on earth could we talk about balayage hairstyles without mentioning wavy hair? Balayage wavy hair is THE staple look for all seasons, and there’s good reason why. The long, tumbling waves are just perfect for sun kissed highlights, and the rippling effect achieved with flowing locks only exaggerates the glow. This long balayage hairstyle works wonderfully with a range of base hair colors and highlights. If you’re looking to achieve amplified volume and length, there are a range of balayage hair extensions that will blend into your natural locks or compliment your natural balayage hair.
We especially love Jasmine Tookes’ take on a subtle wavy balayage, the chestnut highlights work beautifully with her dark shiny curls and add an extra glow to her flawless dewy complexion.
Why not try balayage with a full front fringe? The blunt front fringe with balayage highlighted tips works especially well with darker hair. Add some light waves to this look with a curling iron to achieve maximum contrast between your fringe and locks. This look works best for those with oval faces and thicker hair.
Dakota Johnson slays the front fringe with her dark hair and reddish brown balayage. With a ponytail and face framing layered strands, this is a look we’re sure to steal this year!
If you’re looking to transform your style but don’t have the necessary hair, or want to experiment with balayage before dying your locks, extensions are the answer! Hair extensions come in a huge range of balayage colors to compliment your natural hair and add stunning length and volume to your locks. After all, tumbling balayage waves can only look better with more hair!
