Traditional Balayage
If bright blonde locks are a bit bold for your style, Nash Noufal at Urban Halo in Arlington (2900 Clarendon Blvd.) recommends a traditional balayage, which will keep your natural roots intact while introducing gentle, sun-kissed highlights. When the weather gets warm, people tend to crave a lighter look, Noufal says, but they worry about having to come in for regular root maintenance. His solution? The balayage. The soft, graduated color is hand-painted with dimension in mind to protect your roots’ natural color and keep the hair from looking over-bleached.
