Different Winter Balayage Colors To Try This Season

1. High Contrast Balayage

Skip the barely-there balayage hair tones this season and go for a super high contrast hue. This look is easy to wear if you have naturally super dark hair because you won’t need to touch up your roots! Make sure to use a toning shampoo at least once a week to keep away orange tones. We like Bed Head by TIGI Blonde Purple Toning Shampoo.

2. Honey Blonde Balayage

For an overall lighter look, go for this honey blonde shade. Sure, it could look a little beachy for winter, but keeping your natural hair color mixed throughout makes this shade much more wearable all year long! We love how light blondes in winter still have that shine and brilliance. It takes the edge off the cold, right? When you go for color this light, remember to take it slow. Trying to quickly lift a dark brown natural hair color to a light blond would be very damaging. You may need to make friends with your stylist because it could take two to three treatments to get you there.

3. Auburn Balayage

We are more than a little bit excited about this orange/auburn balayage. It’s such a refreshing hair color, right? If you have natural red tones throughout your hair, you’re lucky! You’re already halfway there. Otherwise, to get this look, you may need to get an overall base color, then have the balayage technique done to the rest of your hair.

4. Light Amber Balayage

This amber balayage is total hair goals. It’s like the textbook definition of the balayage technique. To get this effect on brown hair you will need to use bleach. Bleaching hair, even if you aren’t lightening your color too much, you’ll probably incur a bit of damage. And, when it comes to bleach, damage means dryness. When you style, be sure to soothe your color-treated hair with TIGI Copyright Custom Create Colour Lustre Oil.

5. Chocolate Mauve Balayage

Remember chocolate mauve hair? This gorgeous color is still hot on our radar and all over the ‘gram! We just love these pretty purple tones for the cooler months. Going for this color will give you an extra pep in your step, for sure.
