    Many of us find ourselves scrolling through Instagram feeds, enviously gazing at those stunning balayage and ombre looks that seem to blend colours as if by magic. But here’s the secret: you don’t need to spend hours in the salon or commit to a permanent change to get that stunning, multi-dimensional hair when you can achieve it with our luxury hair extensions – our wide range of clip in hair extensions and permanent hair extensions are your new best friends! Whether you’re craving a warm, honey blonde balayage, a sultry chocolate brown balayage or dark brown ombre hair, our clip in extensions and permanent extensions are the answer to all your hair goals without the commitment or potential damage of hair dye.

    Ombre and Balayage: What’s The Difference?

    Before we start mixing and matching our clip-in extensions and permanents, let’s quickly chat about ombre and balayage – two hair trends that, while similar, have their own unique charm. Ombre is all about the gradient effect, where the colour shifts from dark to light (or vice versa) in a beautifully smooth transition. Visually, your natural hair colour at the roots will gradually fade into a lighter shade like honey blonde or even a bold, bright colour if you’re feeling adventurous. With ombre clip-in extensions, you can easily achieve this look without the commitment of hair dye, allowing you to switch up your style whenever the mood strikes.

    Balayage on the other hand, is more about a sun-kissed, natural look. It involves hand-painting the colour onto your hair, creating a soft, blended effect that mimics the way the sun would naturally lighten your locks. Whether it’s a rich bronde balayage or beachy caramel balayage, think of it as that effortless “I just got back from a summer holiday” glow. The beauty of balayage clip-in hair extensions is that they can add depth and dimension to your hair, enhancing your natural colour with subtle highlights or more dramatic tones, depending on your vibe.

    All of our hair products are Remy hair extensions, meaning they are made from 100% Remy human hair and are of the highest quality on the market.

    Creating the Perfect Blonde Balayage on Brown Hair

     

     

    One of the most stunning combinations is blonde balayage on brown hair. It’s a classic that never goes out of style, and it’s perfect for those looking to add a little brightness to their brunette locks. The idea is to add a few mixed blonde extensions throughout your hair, focusing on the mid-lengths to ends, to create that sun-kissed balayage look. @mi.slater wears our 20” Remy Royale Tape Ins in the shade Oak Brondie.

    Creating A Brown Balayage on Dark Hair

    For those who prefer a richer, deeper hue, a mixed brown balayage on slightly darker hair is absolutely divine. It’s a sophisticated, sultry look that’s perfect for adding depth to your hair without going too light. Tape In balayage extensions are a game-changer for anyone with medium to dark brown tresses who want to add a touch of warmth and luxury to their locks.

    Funky Shades Balayage Effect

    If you’re feeling adventurous and ready to make a bold statement, why not dive into the world of vibrant colours with our Funky Shades Collection? Adding a pop of electric blue, turquoise, bright red, pastel pink or even a daring purple to your hair can make you stand out from the crowd, and are the perfect hairstyle for parties, parades, festivals, Halloween and more.

    Endless Styling Possibilities with Ombre and Balayage Clip-In Extensions

    The beauty of clip-in extensions is that they give you the freedom to experiment with different hairstyles without any long-term commitment, all while adding length and volume that seamlessly blend with your natural lock. If you fall in love with your new clip-in balayage and want a longer lasting transformation, opt for professional extensions in the same shades such as nano rings, tapes or even a full bodied weave. Professional hair extensions can stay in the hair for several weeks before needing to be removed and reapplied giving you added thickness, length and colour on a semi-permanent basis.

    If you’re feeling super glam, go all out with a voluminous wraparound ponytail or a chic braided updo? We have 4 gorgeous balayage shades in our ponytail collection to match both light and dark brunettes.
