It can also be an effective two-tone blonde shade without going completely bleached; to keep this style looking bright and beautiful between touchups use purple shampoo as it will help balance any warmth between appointments.
Balayage
Balayage highlighting is an untraditional yet natural-looking freehand technique for producing soft, sun-kissed highlights that blend in naturally. Instead of using foils to separate sections of hair and highlight each, balayage allows colorists to paint lightener onto each section in one continuous stroke for low contrast results. Balayage is perfect for creating low-contrast results that grow out beautifully over time.
As perfecting the art of balayage requires professional training and experience, it is best to leave this type of coloring to experts. Additionally, due to less bleach being applied with this style of coloring than traditional highlights can often be less damaging on your locks.
Balayage can not only accentuate your natural beauty, but can also make your hair appear fuller and more dynamic. The subtle transitions between light and dark emphasize the natural curve of your head and face to create an abundance of full and rounded locks.
Balayage highlights are an extremely versatile highlighting technique that can adapt to suit any length, style and base color imaginable. Even coarse hair can benefit from this low maintenance style which allows longer periods between touch-up appointments than with other techniques.
Those looking for something bolder may wish to incorporate vibrant hues such as neon green and electric blue into their balayage for a statement-making pop of color that will grab people’s attention. Before taking this route, however, be sure to consult with your stylist on how long-lasting these colors will remain.
Balayage is an undeniably gorgeous hair trend that will remain popular. Not only are celebrities fond of it, but clients from around the globe have adopted this look too. But it is important to remember that improper care of balayage could result in damage; therefore it is crucial that thermal protection spray be applied prior to using heat-styling tools, and make an appointment with your hair colorist on an ongoing basis for regular maintenance appointments to keep it looking its best!
