Time for autumn hairstyles! This fall we see a lot of balayage hairstyles and a lot of hairstyles with highlights: usually, they give a very natural touch to your hairstyle. So: balayage hairstyles.
But what is a balayage exactly? Can you distinguish balayage from ombre hair colors, écaille hair colors (also called tortoiseshell hair colors), and a hairstyle with lots of highlights?
I’m starting to find it quite difficult, you know. In autumn balayage is perfect because it allows you to play with darker and lighter colors without having to go for a completely new hair color.
Are you looking at these beautiful examples that I came across? A balayage is one of the ideal fall hair colors!

Balayage hair styles: what to ask at the hairdresser?
Okay, you’ve decided that you’d like a balayage hairstyle with a balayage hair color… but how do you tell the hairdresser? There are still quite a few hairdressers who don’t really know what balayage actually entails and how to dye it properly. I myself have left a hairdresser’s a few times, almost 150 euros poorer with basically only some highlights in my hair, and definitely no balayage hairstyle.
So be sure to look for a hairdresser who specializes in balayage haircuts and for example the finger painting technique. Look on Facebook or Instagram if they share photos of their customers and look at the quality of their work.

Hairstyles with balayage hair colors for 2022
What do you guys think about these hairstyles with balayage hair colors? I think it really is an ideal hair color if you don’t want to go to the hairdresser too often, you can easily grow out a balayage.
Then you get a ‘lived-in’ balayage, perfect! I also had a balayage for a long time and the only maintenance I had was using a lot of silver shampoo and sometimes going to the hairdresser to put a purple toner in my hair.
That way I got the yellow-blond shine out of my hair and I had a cooler hair color again: really handy!
