Transform your post - Beer Bike hair into this season's newest trend. A warm toned tortoiseshell look with caramel, golden highlights Écaille Balayage, or Tortoiseshell, hair is emerging as Ombrè's long-awaited hair heir. I am not apologizing for that wordplay, either. Ecaille (pronounced ekaj ) is a relatively new look, so your hairdresser might look a bit confused if you ask for it without bringing along some pictures. Luckily for you, I have plenty. While ombrè is a technique that can work on an infinite number of color combinations, ecaille is more of a mix between technique and the actual colors being used. It's been referred to as a more sophisticated and mature ombre. The highlights are more evenly distributed throughout the hair and this smooth, dispersed, pattern is why it's nicknamed tortoiseshell.
