11. Hidden Balayage
Did you think this is an all-natural look? Don’t be fooled. There are no contrasting colors, but there is an obvious change of color as the hair grows down. This hand painted style is one of the most natural-looking balayage hairstyles. In fact, you don’t even have to tell your friends about the balayage. Keep it a secret and you’ll see that no one will doubt the color.

12. Top Layer Balayage
Not interested in adding too many layers of highlights? Sure, keep it simple with only the top layer. Here’s a tip, pick a light shade than the one in layers underneath. As the sun hits your head, the top layers will be subjected to color change first. Balayaging the lower layers won’t look naturally sun kissed.

13. Balayage the Tips
Although one of the benefits of adding balayage highlights to your hair is that you can start the color transition from the top of your head, you don’t have to use that benefit. Long hairstyles and certain face shapes look great with the shade transition starting mid-length. Caitlin Alicia’s ashy brown & blonde balayage looks great this way. Pay a close attention to the hair framing her face! See some balayage highlights there? Add this to the tricks you learned today.

14. Regular Ombre Framing the Face
Here’s a clear presentation of what a regular ombre looks with balayage hair around the face. These cleverly positioned hair strips make your face features look softer while keeping a dark hair color.
15. Thin Strips of Balayage
This look works extremely well on both brown and blonde hair. Balayaged stripes add depth to the hair and remove the monotone effect a single color hair usually has. So, even if your hair is straight, there will be movement and light in it. This is also a great choice for those who don’t want to make drastic changes but are craving a beauty change. You will still notice the change in the mirror; maybe this is the freshness your daily life needs.

16. Angels on the Beach
Have you noticed how the hairstyles at Victoria’s Secret fashion shows are almost the same every year? Same highlights, same waves, and same messy, beachy style! It’s been hitting the target for years, and that should be your main proof that balayage beachy waves never go out of trend. If your hair is naturally brown, balayage it with a few shades lighter, but don’t go blonde. Final trick: don’t forget to run a wide comb or your fingers through your hair. This way, the darker shades at the roots will show.
17. Curly Caramel
Golden brown balayage hair with creamy caramel is an awesome choice for those who keep their hair curly at the bottom. The lighter lines will stand out with your curls, making your hair look silky, even if it’s actually very dry (where’s your conditioner?).
18. From Dark to Light Balayage
There is something mysterious about dark ombre that makes it so popular. If you add blonde balayage to dark brown hair, you get a hairstyle that is hard to forget. Now, don’t make major decisions like stripping your hair tips of any color. Keep the limits. Make sure to use purple shampoo to maintain the ashy shade of your brown and blonde shades. The smoky color is what adds so much charisma into your daily hairstyle.
19. Less Mystique, More Practicality
Here’s a very similar brown ombre that is, however, more practical and low-maintenance. The reason for this is the lack of contrast (which was very obvious in the previous hairstyle) that makes it perfect for any styles and hair length.
20. Let the Volcano Balayage Erupt!
Thankfully, there are no limits to your hair color possibilities in the 21st century. By mixing and matching many colors into a customized bowl of what exactly you’ve been dreaming of, you can actually achieve any shade you want. So, why not go bloody red? Start with dark maroon and let the red become more intense and vibrant as it grows down. A challenge with a cap or foil, this hairstyle is very easy to achieve with “hand-made” balayage.
