Low-Maintenance Hair Colors That Let You Skip the Salon

This warm shade is achieved by blending a few different shades, such as golden blonde, rich caramels, and toasty chestnuts. The  darker brown on top results in a natural, soft look that grows out flawlessly.

Aside from this fabulous short haircut, the color is swoon worthy. This client visits for a touch up every 12 to 16 weeks, hair colorist Lacey Coleman says.

Celebrity hair stylist Johnny Ramirez coined this technique, and it's been called a "six-month hair color." He insists it's neither balayage nor ombre, but rather a fluid head of highlights (using his blurring technique) that often fall in the bronde or blondette category of shades.

A balayage is a great low-maintenance hair color option if you're looking for a subtle refresh in your hair. Ask your stylist for their opinion on what highlight colors would best suit your natural color. A balayage with a deeper root color will grow out seamlessly without harsh lines.

Hello golden tresses! We love the warm and cool tone contrast in this balayage done by stylist Coryn Neylon. Color will last twice as long with balayage highlighting.

This gorgeous color is accomplished through a combination of highlights and freehand balayage. A color melt that gradually lightens from the roots blends everything together and softens the look for easy grow out.

Bronde is the melding of brown and blonde hair colors to create a natural-appearing, sun-kissed finish. The best part about this color? You can rock it all year while only needing to step into the salon twice for touch ups.

If you're looking to kick up the contrast on your brunette tresses, opt for bright highlights and balayage. Blending the roots allows the whole color to last longer.

Teasylights are the ultimate highlight combination. The look comes together by teasing the hair and then treating it with balayage highlights and traditional foil highlights.

This is yet another blended highlight look—can you tell we're obsessed? We're especially fond of the platinum pieces framing this client's face.  

This look is summer embodied in a hair color. Warmth at the ends balances with the cooler tones of this client's natural roots for a look that ages like fine wine.
