As someone on a mission to get all the colors of the rainbow on my hair, I've found the balayage technique to be a holy grail between hair color transitions.
After I detransitioned from yellow to my natural brown hair, I was craving a pop of color. My hair stylist recommended balayage to help me curb the color pop craving and let my hair relax between complete hair color transition.
While on the search for the perfect balayage, I came across awesome red balayage ideas. Since I couldn't choose between the ginger or copper red balayage, I decided on blending both colors and they created a magical look together.
If you would like to try out red balayage, here are the 32 hottest red balayage hairstyles I came across.
