According to L’Oreal Paris, balayage is a freehand technique French hair colorists perfected that gives a glowing color dimension to your hair. To those who aren’t aware of what that looks like, it’s safe to assume that most of Hollywood has been getting the balayage treatment for the red carpet for years.

Not to be confused with regular highlights, the balayage color process gives you the option to keep your base color while adding color that looks its best in the sunlight. Balayage first appeared on the scene in the 1970s and was first achieved by using a hairbrush as a painting tool to apply the color.

There’s also a new color term floating around this fall. You may or may not have heard the term bronde but it’s essentially a blonde and brown mix. It could be a brunette who wants their dark tresses to melt in a bold blonde, or it could be a blonde who wants their platinum locks framed with smokey, chocolate roots that frame their face. Either way, this fall is the perfect time to experiment with both colors simultaneously.

Now don’t worry. You don’t have to jump from one color to the next drastically. There are a few ways to incorporate rich, darker hues into your hair no matter what color your hair is now. Here we will break down some of the best color options that will make your hair look like your favorite chocolate dessert. The result will be hair with a color that looked more sunkissed than your standard highlights.
