Balayage is one of the most popular coloring techniques. We explain why and how to make it happen
Balayage is a permanent coloring technique that consists in lightening some areas of the hair to create a very glamorous contrast. Born in the seventies, it has returned to the fore in recent seasons.
Balayage: how to do it
The goal is to lighten the hair with a strong contrast to the base but with an absolutely natural effect. This bleaching requires an expert hand: the hair stylist will identify the areas to be illuminated. The advantage of balayage? It can also be done on short hair; only the tips are lightened and a shade is chosen as close as possible to your natural color. Translated: if you have dark hair, no one will offer you a platinum blonde lightening. Our tip: first choose the haircut and then do the treatment so that the new color can best enhance your face.
Balayage - the difference with shatush
Both are bleaching techniques because they lighten the hair by a few shades on the lengths and ends. There difference lies in the way in which the hair is bleached: with the shatush it is necessary to tease the hair and then use a brush on the lengths, while with balayage, the application is "star". The hair is divided into large locks and, with the help of a brush, streaks of color are created. The effect is very natural precisely because it is deliberately not precise. If you want a very bright hair with intense highlights on the lengths and ends, then choose the balayage.
Blond, red and brown balayage: the looks
On blond and light hair, balayage is very easy to achieve thanks to highlights that will illuminate the face even more. But if the hair is darker and with a brown base, copper red or light brown will be the coolest shades to avoid an excessive detachment with the root. Balayage is a discoloration customizable: each hair will have its own color for a unique result.
