How to Achieve the Perfect Balayage With Balayage Highlights
Balayage highlights are a great way to add dimension to your hair without damaging it. They are designed to be subtle and natural looking, giving you an effortless look. However, they can also be quite dramatic. If you are unsure about how to achieve the perfect balayage, a professional is the best bet.
Is balayage hair permanent?
Depending on your base color, you may have more choices for balayage. For example, if you have dark hair, you can have caramel highlights. These colors are especially flattering on people with warm complexions.
However, you will need to choose a shade that is right for your hair type. You don’t want to go too light. Likewise, you don’t want to go too dark. It’s a good idea to start with a bronde shade for a more natural look.
Another option is to go with ombre. This method starts one color at the root and gradually blends to a lighter tone by the tips. You can also do two-tone wavy ‘dos for a bold, yet feminine style.
To get a balayage-like look, you’ll want to use a sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner. Also, you’ll want to apply a pro toning mask to the roots to soften the color.
After applying the hair color, you’ll need to wait at least eight weeks before touching up the balayage. If you don’t do it every four to six weeks, the highlighting can start to show through.
Balayage highlights are an excellent alternative to traditional foil highlights. While foils create an obvious demarcation between the hair, balayage offers more flexibility and freedom. The technique works with any hair type and can help you find the perfect style for your face.
