Pastel rose balayage is one of the most versatile shades to try this season, from brunettes and blondes alike. No matter your hair color, its blushing hue has the power to turn heads in any situation – make sure your strands stay healthy by using an intense moisturizing hair mask like Briogeo’s Be Gentle, Be Kind(tm) Avocado + Kiwi Mega Moisture Superfoods Hair Mask to ensure healthy locks!
1. Babylights
Babylights, often referred to as playground highlights for their subtle, dreamlike effect that recalls the sun-kissed locks of children, offer a low-maintenance solution for upgrading hair color. This technique involves strategically placing thin strands of lightened hair throughout your mane in order to frame the face while creating a natural and harmonious glow that complements existing base color.
Babylights, like their counterpart balayage (a freehand highlighting technique involving hand-painting lightner onto individual strands for an authentic lived-in look), provide subtler results without creating as noticeable of a contrast in the end result. This makes them suitable for more natural-looking styles while making transitioning to gray hair easier when necessary.
Babylights should only be installed by professionals to prevent over-bleaching of strands. At-home bleaching may also be possible for blondes or those with lighter base colors such as platinum, brown or ash brown hair colors; to maintain them properly and blend seamlessly with their base color a professional touch-up every 8-12 weeks may help ensure vibrant lights.
2. Long Hair
Pink fashion colors enhance facial structures when applied to textured or wavy locks, adding dimension and character. An ombre in rose tones like this one makes for the ideal way to showcase mid-length lobs or shag cuts that show off color layers.
Darker bases can still embrace pastel tones if blended carefully, such as in this balayage with its scarlet red fading into blush pink hue. To ensure its pink shades pop off a brown backdrop, your client should pre-lighten with BlondorPlex (available at Wella salons) up to 9 levels of lift for optimal results.
Your client should utilize an intensive nourishing treatment, like EIMI Glam Mist available from Wella salons, to hydrate their locks and protect the new shade from heat damage. As an extra measure, Briogeo The Original Rose Gold Coloring Conditioner should also be added into their routine as this will extend its lustrous appearance while helping maintain its pastel hue for longer.
3. Pixie Cut
Pixie cuts offer the ideal chance to experiment with bolder hues than you may be brave enough to experiment with at longer lengths. Style face-framing strands at the front like actress Hikari Mori for a striking pastel that leans almost grey hue – ideal for pairing with colorful eyeliners and lip colors!
Dusty rose shade provides a more subdued take on pink fashion hair. Perfectly complementing brown base colors, professional colorists can easily achieve this look using BlondorPlex bond-strengthening pre-lightener for up to 9 levels of lift for this gorgeous shade of dusty rose hair color.
Rose gold balayage can also be added to your pixie’s tips, yielding less dramatic results depending on how you style it – for an elegant romantic look try styling large curls or micro fringe bangs similar to singer/songwriter Kat Graham. Keep your pixie in prime condition by including Briogeo’s ULTIMATE REPAIR to your weekly routine.
4. Choppy Bob
Choppy styles have become the latest hair trend, making it important that they fit with your personal style and suit you best. Blunt ends and sleek styling suit more sophisticated ladies while soft edges work best for more unpredictable personalities.
Choppy bobs can come in all lengths, from an edgy ear-length cut to a more graceful shoulder-length style. Their face-framing angles flatter round faces while their double chin concealing qualities help round faces look their best.
Pastel rose balayage will add an elegant and feminine look, no matter the length. Your skin tone should determine which shade best complements a choppy bob; for an effective color effect, select shades that blend in with your natural base color. To achieve this stunning style, stylists use warm and cool blonde highlights on light brown base hair; to complete it use Briogeo’s Be Gentle, Be Kind Avocado + Kiwi Mega Moisture Superfoods Hair Mask to maximize shine and hydration!
