Gold highlights are the warm honey-gold balayage face-framing pieces — the color treatment works year-round but peaks in popularity at the holidays when warm gold tones feel particularly seasonal. The technique is balayage (hand-painted highlights) focused on the face-framing sections, blended at the root for natural growth.
It flatters oval, heart, and oblong faces — the brightening pieces frame the face. Straight, wavy, and curly hair all wear gold highlights; the balayage adapts to whatever the natural texture is. The look extends well beyond holidays as a year-round 'warm sun-kissed' color treatment.
High maintenance — balayage face-framing pieces require root touch-ups every 8-10 weeks and color refreshes every 12 weeks as the gold tones fade to brassy. Daily styling is just whatever the underlying cut is. Gold highlights have been continuously popular as a 'warm color' option across decades, with the modern balayage technique becoming dominant in the 2010s.
