Caramel Balayage: A Brunette’s and Black-Haired Beauty’s Dream Style

Balayage is popular, not only because it offers effortless style, but also because of its equally effortless maintenance. There is no need for a touch up every few weeks. Honestly, it looks prettier the more it grows out. Maybe you don’t want to curl your hair everyday, but the impressive blend of highs and lows in your tresses will speak for themselves.

Whether your hair is curly or straight, this dye job works with a variety of textures. Curlier manes beautifully show all the hues mixed together, while straighter strands lay the colors on display.

Caramel highlights, in particular, are a natural color. The understated hue is sophisticated and works for everyone from students to professionals.
