Everything You Need To Know
Everyone is talking about balayage hair, and it’s no wonder. The celebrity-approved hair colouring technique is the ultimate salon go-to if you like your highlights soft, seamless and blending with your natural hair. Indeed, hand-painted balayage hair will make you re-think everything you thought you knew about hair colour. Here’s everything you need to know about balayage hair extensions.
What Is A Balayage?
Balayage is a French word that means “to sweep” colour onto the hair free-hand. Balayage is a freehand colouring technique where colour is painted in a sweeping motion directly onto designated sections of the hair. It sees high and low lights painted at random through strands to add reflective dimension and luminosity. Much of the colour is focused from the mid-lengths to the ends, but the most flattering effects happen when subtle ribbons are swept through the hairline, too.
“The balayage technique is about so much more than adding highlights or a sun-kissed glow to strands,” says hair colour London expert Moe Harb. “From highlights to dark browns and rainbow brights, the balayage treatment graduated from the roots rot the ends, is one of the most popular and versatile colour services clients can choose.”
“But you can also create the balayage look using hair extensions. Balayage extensions, created with slightly darker roots, allow for a seamless blend with natural hair and faded hairlines. “It’s all about using extensions to create a look without the damage of colour” adds Louise Bailey.
What Is The Difference Between Balayage And Highlights?
Hair colour expert Moe Harb says: “The main difference between balayage and highlights is that less colour is used with balayage than with highlights. You can create highlights free-hand with balayage, so there is also no visible regrowth. Balayage hair colour doesn’t need to be up-kept so frequently as highlights and allows a softer look around the face than dark roots highlights.
How Is Balayage Different To Ombre And Dip Dye?
Balayage is graduated from the roots to the ends; ombre is just the ends and is a stronger contrast, whereas balayage is often a softer, more graduated look. Ombre is more of a horizontal placement style, and balayage is more of a vertical technique. Whereas dip dye is sharp and more noticeable.
