Balayage is a colouring technique that is used to introduce natural-looking highlights throughout the lengths of the hair. It is often used in the summer, when people want a sunkissed, beachy look. If you want to lighten up your hair very subtly, then balayage is your technique.
If you are thinking of having balayage, have a look through some photos in hairdressing magazines and on the internet. This will help you to recognise the colouring technique and decide whether you like it. It will help you to distinguish between balayage and traditional highlights.
Speak to your stylist to get their professional advice before making any decisions. They will be able to tell you how well balayage will work with your natural hair colour, and discuss shades with you. Remember, balayage is meant to look natural, so if you want a colour that is bolder and has more impact, ask your hairdresser what they would recommend.
