Balayage is a hair coloring technique that has been gaining popularity in recent years. It is a French word that means “to sweep.” Balayage is done by hand, and it involves sweeping the color onto the hair instead of applying it in stripes or patches. This gives a more natural look than other hair coloring techniques. If you are considering getting balayage done, read on to learn everything you need to know about this popular coloring technique!
Balayage is a great option for those who want to add some color to their hair without going for a drastic change. It can be used to add highlights or lowlights, and it can be as subtle or as dramatic as you want. The best part about balayage is that it grows out naturally, so you don’t have to worry about those pesky roots! If you’re ready to try balayage, make sure to find a qualified stylist who has experience with this technique. Now that you know everything there is to know about balayage, what are you waiting for? Go out and get your color on!
There are many different ways to sweep the colour onto the hair so finding a stylist who is not only trained in the technique but also the texture and fabric of hair is optimal to get a great result. Some Balayage is done inside a foil and others with a clay like lighter that forms a hardened shell around the hair incubating the lifting within. Your stylist will need to assess your hair and other contributing factors like the temperature on the day, the fabric of your hair and the desire outcome to choose which method and then painting pattern they want to work with. Balayage can be done in any colour and in any length hair making it a great service for everyone.
One things for sure when opting for a Balayage instead of normal foils you can spread your hairdressing visits out longer which makes it super purse friendly. You can also just have a little touch up around the face with a lovely face frame lifting your sprits, lightening your face and making you feel like you’ve just had a whole revamp. Yes it really is that good. Look out for our blog on face frames coming soon.
