Balayage on straight hair

Balayage, the universally popular dyeing technique, is known to equally flatter straight and wavy hair. However, professional stylists tend to draw their customers’ attention to the magnificent play of color clearly visible only on sleek, naturally straight tresses. Balayage successfully combats ombre in this aspect due to the easiness of styling, the longevity of the shade variation, and the sheer multitude of all dyeing solutions imaginable. If you have straightened your locks or if they have always been sleek and shiny, just for a change, try wearing balayage. Dark hair, straight and long enough to fall down in a luxuriant mane, will especially benefit from this styling option.



Blonde hues for classic dyeing come in a wide variety of spectacular shades, starting with majestic platinum and gorgeous Norwegian blonde, and finishing with warm and mellow, almost brown-like, tints of caramel and dark honey. Any of these colors will prove perfect for traditional balayage. You might want the stylist to alter the application if your locks are short and demand special attention, but in the end, the popular blonde dyeing looks magnificent on tresses of almost any length.


To get inspired, try flipping through corresponding pictures and searching for your ultimate hairstyle among the celebrities’ versions. Most famous women nowadays prefer balayage. Straight hair with bangs and without them, multi-layered cuts with choppy and feathery ends, perfectly accurate and asymmetrical lengths – practically anything goes for as long as you know what exactly you would like to have in the end. Even if your tresses are blonde, there are plenty of color variations to try. Remember, though, that the tone of your face skin should be always taken into account to ensure the most desirable overall effect.
