How is Balayage Different to Traditional Highlights?

Regular/ traditional highlights are sections of hair lightened from the root through to the ends leaving some natural hair in between. Hair is evenly highlighted so it doesn’t have a streaky result.

Balayage finished result is less uniform than typical highlights. If you’ve ever been worried about having stripy color after a visit to the hairdressers, balayage is a sure way to avoid that harsh contrast between colors – especially if you’re going blonder.

The color created is totally special to you and can even be placed in a way to complement or distract attention away from certain features on the face. If you want to make your jaw or cheekbones look more prominent, then using correct sections and shapes within sections can achieve this effect.

Why is Balayage So popular?

Balayage is also very popular because it requires little maintenance. It grows out more naturally and re-growth is less obvious.  This means that you will have gorgeous looking hair for longer between appointments. 

You aren’t completely covering all of your hair in bleach or color, there will less damage and dryness, meaning softer, healthier hair.

 

Does Balayage Cover Grey Hair?

Yes if you don’t want to see a “single white hair” then root coloring will be provided with balayage service.

If only a few grays are present, then balayage may “camouflage” the greys enough for longer times between coloring.
