Honey Balayage

My Balayage Technique: Teasing

Golden balayage

If you’re after that effortlessly sun-kissed, lived-in hair color, this balayage is the dream. It’s the perfect mix of natural and low-maintenance—so you get all the brightness without the constant touch-ups.

The secret? Teased highlights. Instead of harsh, streaky color, this technique keeps things soft and seamless.

Also, the hair that is teased out is usually either breakage or new growth- both things that we don't want to chemically treat!

It works by backcombing sections of hair before applying the lightener, which helps diffuse the color and blend it beautifully.

The result? That “I just got back from a beach vacation” glow—without actually having to go anywhere.

What really makes this balayage pop is the mix of honey, caramel, and sandy blonde tones. It creates a multi-dimensional effect that adds warmth, movement, and just the right amount of contrast.

And when styled with soft waves? Chef’s kiss.

Want to keep it looking fresh? Stick to a sulfate-free shampoo to maintain the color, and every now and then, treat yourself to a glossing toner to keep that shine going strong.

If you love hair that looks amazing with minimal effort, this is definitely a style to try.
