If you’ve been paying attention to the world of Hollywood hair, you know that a coloring style known as balayage is making waves in the city of Angels. You might be wondering – what’s all the fuss over this new hair trend? What is balayage hair color? Well, beauty mavens, allow us to break it down for you with a little help from our favorite celebrities!
What Is Balayage?
First of all – what is balayage hair color? Balayage is a French word describing the process of sweeping (or brushing) color onto hair. It may sound similar to the standard method of hair coloring using foils, but it is so much better. Balayage hair color is all about achieving natural highlights – specifically, highlights that aren’t confined to perfectly spaced out squares of foil.
When you get your hair colored using the balayage method, you’ll notice that the stylist isn’t using any foil at all, but is rather taking strands from your bare head and working with them individually – with no extra layers getting in the way. The hairstyles that come from balayage hair color are more loved because they look and feel incredibly natural, and don’t have that typical “this came from a box” look about them. Now that you know what this hair color trend is all about, here’s a little celebrity inspiration to get you thinking about your next trip to the salon!
1. Halle Berry
If you’ve got short hair, you’ll want to embrace your choppy locks for this Halle Berry inspired balayage look. The natural waviness and bouncy texture of her hair make it perfect to achieve and even more natural looking balayage hair color.
2. Chrissy Teigen
If you are still wondering “What is balayage hair, and is there a proper way to do it?”, stop! If Chrissy’s hairstyle is any indication, balayage hair color is all about doing what feels right to you and your hair. She decided to go for an all-over highlight look, and we think it looks ah-mazing.
3. Jessica Biel
Her husband might have brought sexy back, but Jessica sure knows how to bring sultry back. She’s been known for her hairstyles over the years that accent her long, naturally gorgeous brown locks, and this style is no exception. She opted for a bit more “ombre-inspired” balayage color, where she focused on the roots and underbelly of her hair instead of giving attention to the top.
4. Jennifer Aniston
We all know that Jen is famous for her trendy hairstyles through the years. Recently, she’s gone back to blonde and she decided to give her color a little update with some balayage. She decided to only sweep the color along the ends of her hair, giving a subtle refresh on her already classic do.
