21. Brown Meets Strawberry Pink
As summer kicks in, you will want to make your investments on lighter and more fun colors. Some of the colors are not that easy to wear, and if you were unlucky enough to be born with dark hair (unlucky only if you’re planning a highlighting session), you might want to start a few months prior to your much-expected summer vacation. The brown and strawberry pink match is a delight that is hard to resist. Dark roots and a mild, almost pastel shade of the pink make you look delicious and playful, without adding a hentai theme to your balayage hairstyle. Ask your stylist to make the blending area very subtle, complemented with ashy brown and a just a little maroon or purple.
22. Little Miss Raspberry
Are you not afraid of colors? Then go a shade brighter and make the most out of your balayage pink hair. A mix of raspberry and Chinese cherry blossom… whichever one you choose, this is a very juicy color that makes the young days not so distant. Take a look at the roots, which are dark, but not entirely brown. They are hand painted with a darker shade of purple that completes the look, turning you more into a nature-girl, than a stylish sophisticated fashionista.
23. A Blue Head-Turner
Our title is not accidental. And this balayage hairstyle is not for quitters. If you have made a decision to turn your long magical locks into a blue storm, you’d better be prepared for a lot of attention. Don’t worry, they will be shocked today, and tomorrow you will be the latest hot trend!
Start with a pastel, bluish violet at the top, spice it up with aggressive blue and finish with the first color at the tips. We hope you acknowledge that this style looks anything but natural, and although you can’t convince anyone that it’s the color you got while tanning at the beach for hours (which you could do with brown and blonde balayage hair colors), it’s still a piece of art achieved by balayage.
Need more reasons to commit to blue? How about Pantone’s latest report that announced blue as one of the trendiest colors of 2016?
24. Hunger Games Continues
Yes, we have entered the Hunger Games hairstyles top list and, yes, we know you’ve noticed it. But while we’re exploring this unique and original area, let’s take a look at a very sweet balayage color combination. This style looks great on blonde hair, because then the only detail you need to add is pastel pink highlights around your face. The look is very blended, in fact, sometimes it’s really hard to understand why we’re getting a warm fuzzy feeling by just looking at your hair the first time, but whatever magic it’s doing on us, we like it.
Take the opportunity of the world going balayage-crazy, and add some strawberry on your blonde cocktail.

25. Mermaid Hair Balayage
Still have the dream of getting mermaid hair? Well, this silver green shade is perfect for realizing the fantasy, at least on the fashion level. What’s the catch (as if the mermaid hair was not a catch)? Instead of the traditional dark root and light tips, you will get the exact opposite. Your roots will be watery green and your tips will be light silver.

26. Roses are Gray and Violets are Pastel
One of our favorite balayage hair colors, this look includes a few different shades incorporated into one balayage. Created with the help of gray, pastel violet and brighter violet shades, it displays a soft smoky effect that can be matched with a gothic outfit… and you’re ready for the runway. One last attribute before you head out – complete the character with a dark matte lipstick and the world is ready for you!

27. Going Blonde? Here is How You Should Start
The dark hair challenge again… we feel you, girl. Why is it so hard for dark-haired ladies to go blonde in a day? Why all the torture of numerous color sessions? Well, here’s a great alternative. If you’re going blonde, this means you can experiment with a few highlighting combinations every time. This look is the perfect start. The light brown strips will later become blonde, as your entire hair is painted light brown. Remember, every great work of art consists of many layers and they were not painted in a day.

28. Cold and Icy… Ash Blonde
As you might have noticed, orange undertones are not really a thing now. Today, we try really hard to maintain a purple base, because it is turning into the hair color trend of the decade. So, start with a purple-based ash brown and slowly develop into icy blonde, purple-based again. It’s a refreshing icy look that will be like a chilly sea breeze in the heat of the summer. Lots and lots of purple shampoo needed, for sure!

29. More Platinum, Please
This is another beachy hairstyle in blonde balayage. It’s also a good choice for shoulder-length hair, as the color transition starts high on the roots. What makes this unique from the regular highlights? Have a look at the mid-length? It’s not just light, it’s lighter color on the highlights that reacts to the lighting, adding extra shine to the hairstyle.

30. Visible Highlights
Every client has a special request, and every fashionista is unique. So, you can actually try balayage on rough highlights. If you don’t want a soft and gradual blend, let your hair stylist paint the highlights roughly on your roots and turn them all-blonde at the bottom. While this is not the first thing you see in the fashion magazines, it’s still a beautiful choice.
