Remember summer? That glorious season of sunshine and beaches and cookouts and happiness? Sigh. This past summer at Hairstyle Guru, we did a roundup of all the ways brunettes could go lighter with summery blonde balayage hairstyles. Now we’re coming at you with 30 more blonde balayage looks for brunettes—only this time the blondes run the gamut from pale and pearly (a lighter, more typical summer hue) to deep, tawny blondes, which are both perfect for adding some warmth to your ‘do now that we’re facing down the beginning of winter. There’s everything from subtle, barely-there balayage to high-contrast, “you’re gonna need some sunglasses” balayage. With all these different approaches to a winning look, you’re bound to find one that fires you up.
