What is vanilla chai hair?
Vanilla chai hair fits into the popular trend in the beauty industry of drawing ideas from culinary art.

Under the name chai latte, you can also find black tea served with milk and spices: cinnamon, cloves, ginger and cardamom.
Can you imagine a cup in which strong, dark tea is mixed with milk? Streaks of chocolate and caramel brown intertwine and combine with creamy white. A feast for the eyes! A hairdresser will try to achieve a similar visual effect if you ask for vanilla chai blonde in the salon. This name covers balayage done in an extremely subtle way (so-called Camouflage Balayage ).

Choose brown in a honey, nut or milk chocolate shade, which will highlight the light ends of your strands even more beautifully.
What type of hair does the vanilla chai effect look good on?
A subtle balayage inspired by vanilla latte will look charming on hair of any curl type. The delicious fullness of colors will appear in all its glory on curls, waves and springs.
