This hairstyle is a great fit for anyone looking to take advantage of multiple colors of dye in their look. This style adds a lot of depth to the hair, as accentuated by the curls, and has much intrigue, as it can look different from any angle and highlight a specific color with each updo. This works very well for those with blonde bases, but can also transfer over to those with darker hair. Because you don’t have to dye the roots, you can let this balayage grow out and become even more effortlessly amazing.

This ethereal color starts off with a pink base and moves out into pale purple at the end of the strands. This is an intriguing color duo because it is so innocent and adorable. It works well in a messy bun as pictured, with the back loosely braided up and pieces hanging out at the sides. Bangs optional.
18Base Color Under
We love the look on both of these girls because they’re rocking different shades of purple balayage, but also because they dyed their roots on the top of their head, but divided their bottom half of hair in half and only dyed the top, streaking a couple of strands from the inner half.
19Iridescent Glow
The amazing aspect of this hairstyle is that it makes the use of so many different colors of dye without seeming like a mess.

Your purple balayage will look winsome when styled with angled bangs and low pigtails. We absolutely heart this hair because of its effortless transition from purple at the top to a radiant blue. Carrie Sleutskaya, Project Runway contestant, blew up the dyed hair industry by also making her brows the same gradient as her hair.
22Pale Glow Updo
This knot is bold and refined, making for an avant garde and couture style. This hairstyle gives you two options: up or down. You can dress it up with dramatic makeup and a sleek wardrobe, or dress it down and style your look in minimalist form. We recommend either, as you’ll command the room either way.

26Volume Fro
Look like a queen with this impressive style. We’re in love with everything done in the picture, so be sure to add statement lips and brows to get the most out of your look.
27Color Scheme Balayage
This tranquil color scheme dye job is pretty when put up in a bun to show the color strips. Because there is a whitish-blonde piece dyed into the hair, your base color can either be dark like in this example or blonde. The blue color strips will give an extra pop to anyone with blue eyes.
28Side Sweep
