If you’ve never heard of the term ‘bronde’ before, don’t feel bad, I hadn’t either until the other day. Bronde – somewhere in between brunette and blonde – has become an ever popular trend for highlights and balayage. And rightfully so! I would have never thought to add lighter color to my hair as I have been a die hard natural brunette ever since birth. However, I must say that I’m actually obsessed with the bronde balayage I recently had done (if you want the best hairstylist in Chicago – call Platinum 34 Salon on Oak St. and ask for Jenna).
So what the heck is balayage. According to Google Dictionary, balayage is the technique of painting the hair in which the dye is painted on in such a way to create a gradual natural-looking effect. In the words of Jenna, we made the color ‘melt’ all the way down. So cool right?? I love how it’s a subtle, yet noticeable look. I also noticed right away that the gold tones added towards the front of my face made my eyes pop!
The transformation took about 2 hours after adding the dye & toner and having a few snips done to my dead ends. Aside from awesome technique, Platinum 34 Salon also had an amazing ring light to capture the final look. Absolutely obsessed.
Have you made any out-of-comfort-zone choices lately?
