What is balayage and how does it work?

If you’ve ever been interested in the realm of hair, you’ve surely heard of highlights. But what about balayage? Balayage is a highlighting method that uses a special technique to achieve the effects of sun-kissed locks. The word “balayage” actually comes from the French word “balayer”, which translates to “to sweep”—accurately depicting the way the color is swept through the hair.

What sets balayage apart from traditional highlights, is that balayage is done free-hand and most often, without the use of foils. Overall, it results in a softer look than standard highlights, which can appear chunkier. With balayage, the highlights start away from the roots of the hair and gradually become lighter toward the tips, which also means less maintenance over time!

Balayage is not only trendy because of its results, but also for its ability to be customized. The placement, color, and gradient of your balayage are all elements that can be fully personalized and tailored to the look you want.
