There’s another type of balayage and blondes will adore it

Smoky blond hair, be ours.

if you’re feeling like changing up your hair for spring, there are some stunning trends around at the moment, including fallayage and dark espresso.

However, we’ve just spotted another gorgeous style, smoky blond, and this is one is ideal for fair-haired ladies who want to change it up slightly.

It’s a low-maintenance balayage so ideal if you don’t want to keep going back to the hairdresser on a regular basis.

The colour is just focused on the root so you get a dark smoky effect that fades out, resulting in lighter ends.

Chatting to Byrdie, Los Angeles-based colourist Amber Maynard explained that the final effect is “a cool, intentionally grown-out blonde” which is just the look we’re after.

If this sounds like something you want to try, the below snaps will give you some idea of the type of look smoky blond results in.

Smoky blonde is also similar to sandy balayage and both styles are equally gorgeous.

Transformation to smoky Balayage blonde!
