Trend #1: Babylights & Balayage: The Perfect Power Couple
This year, balayage gets a delicate touch with the introduction of babylights. These finer highlights are woven throughout the hair, creating a subtle yet dimensional effect that adds depth and texture. Think of it as a balayage makeover for your balayage!
Trend #2: Chunky Highlights Make a Comeback
Remember those chunky highlights that were all the rage in the 90s? Well, they’re back with a modern twist! In 2024, chunky highlights are bolder and more intentional, creating a statement-making look that’s perfect for those who love to stand out.
Trend #3: Bronde Balayage Reigns Supreme
The ever-so-popular bronde trend is here to stay, and for good reason! This blend of blonde and brunette creates a natural, sun-kissed look that flatters all skin tones. In 2024, look for warmer bronde shades with subtle caramel highlights for a touch of sophistication.
Trend #4: Balayage Gets Edgy with Pastel Touches
For the adventurous souls, pastel balayage is taking the hair world by storm! This trend involves adding subtle hints of pastel colors like lavender, pink, or peach to your balayage highlights, creating a soft and whimsical look.
Trend #5: The Rise of Rooted Balayage
Embracing your natural roots is all the rage in 2024! Rooted balayage allows your natural hair color to grow out seamlessly, creating a low-maintenance, effortlessly chic look. This trend is perfect for those who want a balayage that lasts longer and requires fewer touch-ups.
Beyond these specific trends, here are some general forecasts for balayage in 2024:
- Warm tones will dominate: Think golden blondes, buttery caramels, and rich chocolates.
- Multidimensional color will be key: Balayage will continue to evolve beyond simple blonde highlights, incorporating a wider range of colors and tones to create depth and dimension.
- Customization will reign supreme: No two balayages will be the same! Stylists will continue to tailor the technique to each individual’s hair color, texture, and personal style.
- Natural-looking results will be the ultimate goal: The goal of balayage in 2024 is to create hair that looks sun-kissed and effortlessly beautiful, not overly highlighted or processed.
So, whether you’re a seasoned balayage veteran or a curious newcomer, there’s a trend in 2024 that’s perfect for you. Don’t be afraid to experiment and find the balayage look that makes you feel confident and beautiful!
