Her.ie Gives Balayage a Big Yes for Summer 2012

Balayage is still huge this July after dominating the pampered heads of show business throughout the winter. Many leading ladies have been seen supporting the look this season including Sarah Jessica Parker, Drew Barrymore and Gisele Bundchen and we love the edginess of the colour especially when styled in loose waves or curls. The technique, which was developed in France in the 1970’s, provides a richer and more natural look to those eager to introduce blonde and honey tones into their hair colour but aren’t prepared for the constant maintenance that being a blonde requires. The style incorporates your roots so that when your hair grows the look is natural and trips to the stylist are needed less often.

Miley Cyrus is on our style stalk list at the moment and we are in love with her amazing Hollywood locks. We adore her blended dark roots and lusciously light ends, which she has been styling in soft curls and gentle waves for her latest red carpet appearances. Paired with dark eyebrows, her mane looks almost effortlessly cool and glamorous. It even looked great styled into a messy side plait. What is God thinking? Surely it is not fair for one girl to have beautiful hair AND Liam Hemsworth?

The style is great for those who just can’t afford to maintain blonde hair anymore. According to the Irish Independent switching to from blonde to balayage can save you up to €400 per year which is a staggering statistic that has us booking ourselves into the hairdressers immediately! Save your money for better things than blonde and go for balayage. You won’t regret it.
