Today, there are more shades of blonde and more ways to dress up blonde hair. But the icy blonde balayage is the trend you’ll see everywhere.
Instead of streaky dyes and unnatural highlights, a balayage looks softer and more feminine. “Balayage” is a French word and translates to “sweep” or “paint.” The result is a natural-looking pop of colour.
Icy blonde is a cool-toned shade of blonde — the result is almost white. There are hints of beige in the dye, providing a softer and natural look.
Here’s more information on the icy blonde balayage and why it might be right for you.
What Is an Icy Blonde Balayage?
Out of all of the balayage trends, the icy blonde balayage is the one you will see the most. Instead of an ombre, which contrasts the darker roots to the icy blonde tips, a balayage is more subtle.
A balayage combines your natural colour with the icy blonde shade. While your natural colour will show in your roots, the icy blonde highlights kiss your natural colour, blending naturally.
While brown and other darker colours are striking and popular, the wintery icy blonde shade works best with other shades of blonde. The result is bold but subtle.

How to Know If Your Balayage Was Done Correctly
Unlike the ombre, the balayage starts at the root and ends at the tip; however, your stylist will only use a thin strip of colour at the root and more colour on the ends. The balayage pieces are also very close together, similar to the way natural highlights look.
The balayage colour is only applied to the surface section of the hair. This is what gives a balayage that softer look.
Why Is the Icy Blonde Balayage So Popular?
Other popular hair trends, such as foil highlights and the ombre, are fading out of the spotlight. In comes the balayage — a soft yet stylish look for the modern woman.
The balayage is also unique for every woman. That’s because the colour is applied based on your haircut, natural colour, and natural hair growth.
Icy blonde is the colour of the season. You can see celebrities, such as Jennifer Lawrence and Kim Kardashian West, rocking this hair colour.
Since balayage works with your natural colour and growth, it’s easier to maintain.
