Dimensional Brunette

We can’t stop thinking about this stunning brunette balayage on Hailey Bieber.

The highlights aren’t in-your-face obvious; they’re subtle, layered, and ridiculously chic.

Balayage looks especially stunning on curly hair types.

In this case, the light brown highlights help define the curl structure.

Thanks to the balayage technique, it’ll look naturally woven into the base hair color.
