 Lucy Hale is yet another celebrity who, like Kaia and Joan, has been seen with a flawless balayage look. Remember that the key is movement and for more volume go for a side parting.

Each of these celebs has killed it by adding balayage to their look. Long, mid-length or with a striking bob, any cut is ideal for flaunting the most on trend coloring technique.
