Balayage, sometimes called balayage highlights, French for “to sweep or paint,” is the soft, natural, effortless technique that everyone is raving about. Because you don’t saturate the sections of your hair with color or lightener, and instead uses freehand strokes, the color easily blends as your hair grows longer. That means you can stretch out your balayage touchups times, depending how fast your hair grows.
Though brunettes favor this technique when looking to lighten their look, balayage is perfect for blondes and redheads too. From the coldest winter months to the peak of summer, you will feel the radiant glow your hair exudes.
