Pastel balayage looks for beautiful hair
If you are thinking of getting a pastel balayage, I would tell you that it is a wonderful idea. This type of coloring is trending right now, and for good reason! Pastel colors look subtle and elegant.
And if you combine pastel colors with the balayage technique, you will make your hair low maintenance and it will make your life easier.
A pastel balayage hair is a color technique that paints strands of hair in very soft fantasy colors from mid-lengths to ends. This will make your hair have touches of fantasy colors in a very natural way since pastel colors are super soft. And with the balayage effect you will have a seamless color transition.
One of the biggest advantages of using fancy colors is that if you regret it they fade more easily than a very vibrant color. And they look great with blonde or light brown hair.
In this article you will discover beautiful pastel balayage looks to inspire you and find your perfect color:
The best pastel balayage looks
If fantasy colors in your hair catch your eye, starting with a pastel color is a very good idea!
Vibrant colors look spectacular on the hair, however you have to be very sure that you want to wear this type of look since it is a bit difficult to remove them.
Pastel colors on the other hand, are perfect as you can light up your hair and have fun, but if you regret it they are easier to remove! Normally just washing your hair will make them fade.
Of course, there are some colors more tricky than others:
- Blue and green tones are usually more complicated to remove. Also, all blue colors when they start to fade will turn green. To avoid this I recommend that you put a little purple on it too.
- Purple or peach colors are usually quite neutral and they wash out nicely. They have a medium duration, so they are very versatile.
- Pastel pink or yellow colors are usually the most sensitive, and usually disappear in a couple of washes. If you want to increase its duration, I recommend that you wear a slightly more intense pink, since in a few washes it will turn into a pastel color.
Now that you have an idea of what kind of color suits you best, get inspired by these beautiful pastel balayage looks:

I hope this article has inspired you to find your perfect pastel balayage look.
If you have never had a fantasy color before, I recommend that you start with a few subtle touches of color to get used to it. Is essential that you know how to maintain a balayage color in your hair so that it lasts, otherwise in a couple of washes you can fade all the color!
A trick that works very well in pastel colors is to dye your hair with a color a little more intense (just a little), so in a couple of washes it will soften and look pastel. In this way the color will last much longer than if you start with a soft tone from the first day.
And the most important! Do not wash your hair more than twice a week and always use a shampoo to maintain the color free of sulfates.
You will see that you will make the color last much longer! See you next time.
