Though going blonde can be a bigger commitment than other colors, Gina is showing brunettes a healthier alternative. A balayage offers a unique layered coloring which differs from highlighting as it gives flowing color style that grows out beautifully. This beauty trend has been seen on some of Hollywood’s hottest celebrities such as Emma Roberts, Hilary Duff and more — therefore Go, Gina!
