41. Root to Tip Gold and Espresso Balayage
Few things are as wonderful as the touch of the sun’s ray reflected in a pretty girl’s hair. However, the sun isn’t always shining, which is why balayage hair colors like this can simply create the same effect in any lighting or season. An abundance of thin golden streaks runs from top to the bottom, helping to soften the rich and dark natural hair color.

42. Warm Autumn Balayage
Because balayage highlights are all about something that looks a little softer and more natural, it is not surprising that they often bring to mind various natural phenomena. In this case, dark brown hair with auburn balayage highlights reminds us of autumn, and of leaves falling from the trees.
43. Molten Gold Balayage
Balayage hair color ideas that are a little heavier on the bleach are perfectly okay as well! This gradual balayage has some ombre elements, with the roots being mostly quite dark with just a few golden streaks. However, as we reach the ends of the hair, it seems as though everything simply melted into a gorgeous pile of golden curls at the bottom.

44. Caramel and Cotton Candy Balayage Twists
This is an overall fun and playful hairstyle that is very wearable and manageable despite the fact that it includes an unnatural pink shade. Curls created with a thin curling iron look tight yet volumized, and with the bright caramel and pink shades they look like a real party!
45. Dark Mermaid Fishtail Balayage
Is it just me, or does anyone else’s mind immediately jump to mermaid when they see a fishtail braid? Dark black and purple are a classic combination that works really well as balayage hair colors. When paired with the crown fishtail braid, it reminds us of a beautiful sea witch.

46. Dark and Light Balayage
Dark roots have permanently cemented themselves in the balayage movement and it is never more beautifully featured than with pale colors. The differences are what makes the look, and the multifaceted aspect of the lighter ends is played up for a complex look. Here the dark roots work against waves of taupe and silver balayage for a look that shows off different shades of soft color that vary greatly.

47. Beachy Blond Balayage
One of the best things about balayage hair treatments is the ombre effect it has on hair, and here, the effect gives her hair a lot of body. The shades of blonde give off the impression of sun-drenched hair – properly protected, of course. It is light in all the right areas, dark in all the right areas, perfectly composed to appear full and bright and lively. Though the balayage hairstyle is blown out, the color really elevates the look.

48. Rosè Balayage on Dark Hair
The Rosè colored trend has not passed quite yet and here it is stunningly balayaged into darker hair, allowing the difference to really shine between the roots and tips. The balayage hair treatment was so well done that the transition is not jarring, but as smooth as you would want a glass of Rosè to be. The clear difference in shades that make up the Rosè color on the bottom is well placed to allow the light to bounce naturally between the sections of her hair for a fuller color that will never be flat.

49. Purple Grey Finessing
The perfect balayage on dark hair can be reminiscent of a dark storm on the horizon – in this case, one full of silver and purple lightning. It’s not overdone, but just enough to frame her face and define her layers. It’s a stunning job that is prismatically interesting on a darker scale and certain to remembered. The color difference on darker hair can cause damage if not properly done and maintained thanks to the stripping process, but it is well worth it if you care for the style.

50. Sun-Kissed Balayage
Here the copper balayage highlights are so beautifully placed and naturally toned that every turn of her head will catch the light, allowing it to shimmer in her hair. This is how a multidimensional copper hair color can look natural yet eye-catching and bright. The tones used complement each other so well that a long summer in the sun is a completely feasible explanation, though no one would blame them for keeping their stylists name a secret with this kind of talent.
