Blonde Medium Bob Hairstyle + Brown Balayage

@zoeestyles

Breathe life to a medium bob with a light brown balayage and blonde ends. That pairing is exceptional! A style like this requires little to no effort depending on the hair’s natural texture. If tresses are fine and straight, adding soft waves for movement is necessary.

This is the perfect low-maintenance honey, brown balayage. It was created by balayage specialist Zoe Ribley of Woodstock, GA.

“The honey and golden tones complement her natural hair color very well,” says Ribley. “This cut is a short blunt bob, and styled with effortless beach waves to give off the perfect vibe!”

Balayage is perfect for women wanting a low-maintenance hairstyle! Women usually come back to see their stylist anywhere from 3 months to a year. When wanting the blunt short cut, be prepared to style your hair more often. Short hair can tend to become more maintenance depending on the hair type you have.

This brown and blonde color is low-maintenance. Meet with your stylist every 6-8 weeks to freshen up the highlights and lowlights. Use a purple toning shampoo between salon visits to keep your blonde looking bright.

“Rotate in a color-safe shampoo when you aren’t using the purple shampoo,” she adds. “This will keep your toner and lowlights from fading. Shampoo & conditioner are the most important products to protect your hair color. Think of it as insurance for your hair.”

She continues, “we gave her gentle and subtle highlights to blend the lightness of the ends with the top. We then gave her a semi-permanent color gloss to blend the grey coming in, and finally added on a couple of toners to get her hair to a more neutral and less warm/brassy color!”

Honey Blonde Highlights on Light Golden Brown Hair

@gracefulbalayage

This dimensional honey blonde balayage radiates summer with a warm glow that will brighten up your look. This color was created by hairstylist Grace Hinz of Riverside, IL.

“The best part is the fact that she looks super bright overall but still has a lot of dimensions spread throughout,” explains Hinz. “She isn’t just solid blonde but has a more sun-kissed and natural look.”

She goes on to explain, “more often than not I give golden blondes to women who are about 50% gray and want to blend the silver into their natural base color. The warmer tones give a more youthful glow to the hair. Honey blonde highlights are also lower-maintenance compared to super ashy blondes. This is good for women who don’t want to come in often to re-tone their hair or for women with well water and other harsh mineral-filled shower water.”

Natural Light Brown with Blonde Highlights with Lowlights

@hairbynicolecarlini

This soft blonde balayage was created by hairstylist Nicole Carlini of Oxford, MI.

“We added highlights using Schwarzkopf Blondme in a traditional foil technique. I sectioned the hair off her part line with diagonal foils back,” Carlini explains. “She is naturally about a level 7, thick straight hair texture, so we left her base for added dimension. She had previously lightened ends so adding the foils made for a softer look and more of a balayage rather than an ombré. I then toned with Redken Shades EQ.”

This light brown hair with highlights is a pretty low-maintenance style. Because the natural color was left at the base, the grow-out will be easier.

For women looking for low-maintenance colors, Shippee always suggests playing off their natural color. “Keep your root color the same or close to it and add pops of brightness around the face or ends. ”
