Lately, there’s been an influx of really good balayage taking over our Instagram feeds. (If you’re unfamiliar with the technique, it involves hand-painting subtle highlights for a blended effect that looks as close to natural as possible.) The trend has been around for awhile, but apparently it has a new twist — and a brand-new name to match. Meet tiger eye hair, the Internet's latest hair color obsession.
Let’s pause for a brief geology refresh: tiger eye (sometimes called tiger’s eye) is a semiprecious rock with a distinct pattern of bronze, gold, and dark brown stripes. Tiger eye hair borrows from that same shade family, then applies it to your hair. The only difference? Instead of clearly demarcated lines (which would translate to not-so-flattering, stripe-y dye reminiscent of the early 2000s), colorists apply the hues using the balayage technique, which results in a rich, beautiful blend that’s perfect for sweater weather. If you’re looking to add warmth and dimension to your hair this season, you may have found your best bet.

Plus, tiger eye is said to bring clarity into your life, so citing it as your hair inspiration definitely can’t hurt. Looks like there’s more than one way to incorporate crystals into our beauty routines this year.
