tips to keep you color in shape

If you’re looking for a low maintenance way to lighten your hair while preserving your natural hair color that blends seamlessly into your roots with a less obvious grow-out period, balayage is where it’s at.

What is balayage

Balayage is an application technique, rather than a specific color, that creates a soft, multidimensional highlight. Unlike traditional foil highlights, balayage involves painting lighteners freehand onto the hair with a brush. 

The word balayage is French, and means to sweep or paint. Colorists use brushes to paint sweeps of vertical highlights onto the hair, usually layered with strips of cotton between each section. 

The balayage technique isn’t just for blonde hair as it can also be used on all hair types to create shades of caramel, espresso, pastel dg — really any tone — strands. Read ahead for everything you need to know about maintaining balayage.
