Trend Alert: Sun-Kissed Balayage Over Deep Brunette

Have you considered balayage highlights? Balayage is the French word for "to sweep" or "to paint". Using this technique, the colorist colors your hair horizontally, coating the front and back of the hair strands. The effect creates a natural, soft, sun-kissed hair color. Balayage is different from ombre. While ombre highlights are a dramatic, bold shift between dark and light, balayage is more sudden and natural appearing. Balayage highlights are actually not new. Gisele, for instance, has been wearing balayage highlights for years; however, this season A-list celebrities are framing their long bobs with sun-kissed highlights this winter and spring. You should try it too, regardless of your hair length. Balayage highlights add a touch of sunshine to these winter months.
