Hair trend for this season: Balayage
The newest hair trend making its way on the to-do list for fashionistas in the country is Balayage, which leaves your hair looking sun-kissed. Though it has been around for a while, this timeless technique is back as the most requested hair colour techniques in salons today.
A well-blended form of ombre, Balayage -which means sweeping in French -involves dyeing the hair with a free-hand, rather than foiling or cap highlighting.
Though balayage can be used in the shortest of haircuts, it comes out in its full glory in shoulder-length hair. This low-maintenance hair colour gives the person the ability to achieve different effects -ranging from soft and natural highlights to something punky . You can also go for a shade complementing your skin tone. The best part is that there is no clear demarcation of coloured hair and uncoloured roots when the hair grows.

Heard of sand art on H hair? This is one style trend that has women colouring their hair in four to five bright shades. It is, however, not to be confused with rainbow hued hair trend.The inspiration comes from a children’s hobby from the ’90s, when kids would come back from beach holidays with bottles filled with layered coloured sand. It’s now caught on as a hair trend thanks to a new product that lets one dye their hair in different shades without having the dye run or transfer to other strands.The hair has to be dyed first with peroxide blonde. A selection of colours is then taken and layered onto different strands of hair. It requires a lot of maintenance as peeka-boo roots can ruin the look.There are also semi-permanent dyes, so one could choose a certain style for the weekend and then change it for work on weekdays.

Remember the rat tail braid that Ranbir Kapoor sported in Barfi!? Yes, that little tail of hair has now become a rage among youngsters too.
While many prefer to colour, bead or curl their rat tail, Ranbir’s braid was a sophisticated take on the latest fad.
Rat trail braid is a very 80s, cool, free-look thing, and a large number of youngsters are copying the style ever since Ranbir’s look was revealed. Those who sport the style wear their hair short all over their head and leave out a tail of hair at the back to grow, which is then braided. For those who can’t wait for their hair to grow long are going for hair extensions which are attached to their nape to give them an instant rat trail braid.
