Balayage Dark Hair: Style Ideas for Everyone
1.Bone Straight Balayage Dark Hair
To recreate this bone straight look, prep your clean, damp hair with some of the TRESemmé Get Sleek Heat Protection Spray, then blow-dry. Follow up with your flat iron, flat ironing quickly in small sections and seal with a strong-hold hairspray.
2. Wash and Go on Dark Balayage
With dark balayage or any hair color on naturally curly hair, you may need to switch your regular shampoo and conditioner for one that is formulated for curly hair. Try the Suave Professionals Moroccan Infusion Color Care Shampoo and Suave Professionals Moroccan Infusion Color Care Conditioner for long-lasting conditioning (which your hair needs) and for shine. Use a diffuser to dry your hair and set your curls.
3. Balayage Dark Hair with Half-Up Curls
In our book, the half-up trend is suitable for any occasion. Like weddings! Recreate this look by using a curling iron to add curls, then pull the top half of your hair up into a ponytail using hair pins only.
4. Middle Part with Dark Balayage
The middle part is one of our favorite ways to section our hair. We like to look at is as the perfect hair part for every day styling. The side part on the other hand, has a much more romantic feel. If you’re looking for a super casual and easy way to style your dark balayage hair for day time, opt for this look.
5. Hollywood Curls Dark Balayage

6. Ringlet Curls on Balayage Dark Hair
Balayage looks so good on curly hair, don’t you agree? If you don’t have naturally curly hair, you can acheive this ringlet look with a curling wand. Simply wrap small sections of your hair around the wand and hold for a few seconds and release. Set with some hairspray to prevent your newly-formed ringlets from falling and you’re all set.
7. Romantic Side Curls

9. Voluminous Locks
You can’t ever go wrong with a voluminous hairstyle. After washing your hair, use Dove Style + Care Volume Amplifier Mousse, then blow-dry. This mousse will provide your hair with touchable body and bounce. Just remember a little goes a long way.
10. Runway-Inspired Waves
Looking for a style that’s fresh off the runway? Give these runway-inspired waves a shot. Use a hair wand at the ends of your hair to create the wave, then set with a hairspray, like TRESemmé Beauty-Full Volume Flexible Finish Hairspray, for a soft yet effective hold.
11. Lob on Balayage Dark Hair
The lob was the haircut to have in 2016 but the look is still going strong. Try this look out on your dark balayage hair.
12. Fringe Balayage Dark Hair Style
Already have balayage dark hair and looking to update your look? A fringe is a great way to change up your look in an instant. If you still want to be able to wear your hair back without bangs, you can either use a gel during the styling process, or get a fringe that is still long enough to be brushed back.
13. Blonde on Dark Hair
Blonde hair with any color technique won’t ever go out of style. So if you’re wondering what kind of balayage on dark hair to get, go for blonde!
14. Crimped Dark Balayage
Give this old school crimped hairstyle a modern look by mixing it with the half-up top knot style. Don’t have a crimping iron on hand? No problem! Simply braid your damp hair and allow it to dry overnight. In the morning, gently remove your braids and lock it in your crimped hair with some hairspray, then loosen the curls. This trick is best for those with hair that is hard to keep a curl. You want to lock it in before using your hands to comb through the crimps.
