02 Apr Everybody wants it, ‘cause it is timeless
We all crave for that perfect hair color shade we have had as a kids. And there is one hair coloring technique that gives us just that – that bouncy, natural, childlike hair look.
It is balayage and expression comes from French, meaning to sweep or to paint. Because of softness of the look it provides, balayage is freehand technique, no foil is allowed. Balayage lovers want to get more natural finish rather than the uniform highlights that foils give.
Its’ intensity and shades are determined by someone’s skin tone and lineaments, lightening up the features.
You can often see it on red carpets, it’s pretty favorable technique among A listers, because it looks very attractive, expensive, but actually it is really low maintenance hair style.
When done, you should protect you hair as you should regularly: use a color protecting shampoo and conditioner, regular treatments and heat protection when styling.
And what is most important, it is adjustable for all hair types and colors. No preconditions required, as some other, such as pastel coloring demands.
How your balayage will look is determined by your natural hair color and your skin tone. It can be applied on each hair length, but hair below the shoulders will give the best results.
At the bottom line, you can go wrong with balayage because it gives you natural, healthy look. And the rule is: “Healthy hair is attractive hair”.
