We all know and love the ombré, but its low-key sister, balayage, is the 2020 trend to try. Not only can it easily fake a just-got-back-from-Rio glow even in the dreariest of winter months, it’s also a cost effective and low-maintenance alternative to highlights. According to balayage stylist and expert Rogerio Calvalcante, “one single balayage service could still look good up to eight months, depending on how light the natural root base is dyed". If you care about looking good and saving money (that's real 2020 energy!) then look no further than these 18 celebs who are doing the balayage trend right.
