Ash Blonde Balayage Hair Color

@bribirdhair

“Hair painting aka “balayage” is by far the most requested hair coloring service requested in salons today. It can be done on all lengths and colors of hair. It can be natural and soft or be used to pop fun fashion colors in,” says salon owner and hairdresser Bri Bird of Denver, CO.

“To create a natural-looking ashy blonde balayage with a slight shadow root, so when your hair grows out, your natural color just blends into your hair,” says Bird. “This allows months of time before having to have the blonde moved up.”

Balayage may be used to set up more noticeable and striking colors like Vivid Colors. By laying the foundation of subtle and natural dimension and then adding additional applications of purples, greens, blues, and/or pinks, you can keep the overall ash blonde balayage subtle yet still express yourself.

“For a blonde balayage, brunette hair colors work great,” she notes. “Balayage is a wonderful option for women who are looking for a “low maintenance” hair color application. With the natural placement and gradual effect, it can last longer than a traditional foil or color, eliminating harsh lines.”

Natural Looking Balayage on Blonde Hair

@hairbykassiep

This natural-looking balayage on blonde hairwas created by Aveda stylist Kassie Pinegar of Huntington Beach, CA.

If you have heavy highlights and love that all over blonde look, Pinegar says this is a great way to bring your natural roots down. “It provides a seamless growd out blonde balayage. Add in some dimensional lowlights and blonde tones to freshen things up. Use all Aveda color, on your reverse balayage blonde hair color to bring your hair back to life,” she notes.

If you want your balayage hair blonde, Pinegar says go for it! “If your natural root color isn’t very dark then there’s not a huge contrast between dark and light. However, this color is perfect for women with naturally much darker hair. If your hair color matches your natural hair well, you will not have to touch your color for at least 6 months,” she explains.

This icy blonde, cool toned balayage with silver highlights was created by hairstylist Alexa Hamilton of Halifax, NS.

“Not every woman is able to achieve this level of lightness,” explains Hamilton. “The hair in the photo is naturally a level 7 and it took 3 appointments to get to this tone. This color also takes a tremendous amount of upkeep.”

Hamilton suggests you use a violet based shampoo every second wash, and get your roots touched up every 5 weeks. “It’s also very important that protein treatments are used to maintain the integrity of the hair.”

“For this blonde balayage, short hair really shows off the dimension. The dimension was created by deepening the root before adding balayage highlights. It’s a great blonde hair balayage for women who like a classic foil, but want a softer grow out,” explains hairstylist Kayla Juppe of Waltham, MA.

“Maintaining this color does require some at-home care,” she notes. “Using a violet shampoo between appointment will keep the blonde highlights bright and brass free. These blonde balayage highlights are for women who love their highlights but want to add some depth and dimension.”

Blonde + Platinum Balayage

@amberdoeshairhtx

This is a platinum balayage with the slightest shadow root. It was handcrafted by stylist Amber Lloyd of Houston, TX. “The best part of this balayage blonde hair is the shine and brightness of the tone,” says Lloyd.

Lloyd also reminds us to be prepared for lots of maintenance and work when it comes to balayage. “Balayage color trends require monthly touch-ups, as well as the proper home care regime.”

Go home with a purple shampoo to cancel out any brassiness that may appear between appointments, plus some really great professional-grade conditioning treatments. If being in the salon often doesn’t match your lifestyle, go for a more natural blonde instead.
