Balayage is a hair coloring technique that Tinseltown starlets as well as runway superstars are swearing by in order to look flawless. Have you ever noticed someone with highlights that looked harsh and unnatural? Balayage hair color gives tresses a more natural sun-kissed look and therefore lessens any regrowth lines.
Balayage is derived from a french word meaning to “sweep” or “paint.” So then, hair color is swept softly at the roots with the highlight becoming thicker towards the ends. This technique is known more as a “free-hand” technique since no meche or foils are used during the highlighting process.
Yesterday we posted a little hair inspiration for anyone considering or needing some fresh short hair ideas. Today, we are taking things one little step further by showcasing a winter hair trend that is bold, modern and just plain sizzling! The blonde crop is trending this season and can be worn on natural tresses as well.
This style is not for any conservative types due to the boisterous, edgy color. Moreover, a warning to those of you who may be worried about how much maintenance may be involved with this look. Blonde hair requires regular touch-ups and maintenance in order to keep the shade bright and luxurious. If not taken care of properly the color will come to look dull which will definitely take away from the hairstyle.

Beautiful hair comes in all grades, styles as well as lengths. If you are into the big snip or are even thinking about it a little inspiration could help you give the look a try. However, one tip is to not get into the mindset that just because it’s less hair you will have less work to do. Some short hairstyles take as much maintenance as longer hairdos. So then, if you are a low maintenance girl you may not want to indulge in a style that will involve a lot of up keep. Opt for shorter styles that will allow you to wrap and go in the mornings.
