22 Coolest Reverse Balayage Ideas to Check Out

 

Reverse balayage is a hair coloring technique that brings out natural-looking lowlights to the tresses. It’s such a creative way of giving blonde locks an illusion of depth and a brunette finish.

Consultation is imperative, says hair artist Angelica Blanco of Covina, CA. Talk to your stylist and let them know what you like and don’t like.

“In my case, I always ask women if they like to see brightness at the root,” Blanco states.

Don’t forget to inquire about maintaining the tones between salon services. Blanco suggests using color-safe shampoos and conditioners to let the color last longer.

She notes, “Stylists can give you beautiful and shiny, soft hair. But if it’s not properly taken care of, it won’t ever stay looking fresh.”

For women who only want to try a balayage but don’t want to fully commit, choose a demi-permanent dye. “These work wonders as they do fade in case the shade is too hard for you,” Blanco notes.
