The bottom line: Should you try reverse balayage? If you're sick of your current hair color and want to add movement and depth to your mane, there shouldn't be anything holding you back from reverse balayage. It looks cool but doesn't require an insane amount of upkeep (like last year's multi-colored trends such as unicorn hair did). Just like its older counterpart, balayage, this reverse option will hopefully be sticking around for years to come. "I don't think it's a trend that will come and go," says Fischer. "It's a nice way to balance out color and, I think, moving forward, it's all about au naturel and nothing too flashy."
