WHAT IS BALAYAGE?
As we mentioned above, balayage is a hair coloring technique that allows your hair to grow out more naturally instead of having to visit the salon every few weeks for a touch-up. With that in mind, the way the dye is applied is what really makes this technique stand out.
If you’ve had your hair dyed in the past, then your stylist most likely applied the color to certain strands and then folded them up in foil. With the balayage technique, your color artist “paints” each strand by hand, making it a truly custom look. Additionally, the color is generally darker at the top of your head and lighter at the bottom, allowing it to look more natural as your roots grow out.
OTHER HAIR COLOR TECHNIQUES TO CONSIDER
While balayage may be used to influence different styles when you dye your hair, it isn’t the only technique that you should consider. At Vogue Hair Extensions Salon, we offer a wide variety of hair coloring techniques to help you feel like the most beautiful version of yourself. Some of the techniques we offer are:
SOMBRE
The sombre hair color is very similar to balayage and ombre. All three styles start out darker at the top and gradually lighten at the bottom. The difference is that balayage is hand-painted, giving you a more custom look. Sombre, on the other hand, is a softer version of ombre. Instead of a drastic change from light to dark, this style is more subtle. Typically, the stylist will leave your natural color at the root to make the growth transition easier. Your stylist will then dye your hair so that it gradually gets a little lighter at the ends, but not drastically lighter in color.
This style is ideal for brunettes, giving you caramel- and honey-colored strands at the end. Additionally, you won’t have to worry about going to the salon every few weeks to touch up your roots as it grows out.
OMBRE
Ombre is a hair color that most everyone is familiar with. This style is very dramatic and gives you two-toned hair that is sure to turn heads. Typically, this style is darker at the top of your head and lighter at the bottom. The great thing about ombre is that you can combine any number of different hair colors, whereas other styles may focus on your natural hair and other, lighter colors that complement it.
BABYLIGHT
You may have heard of the term “highlights” at some point during your time at the salon, but not many people have heard of the term “babylights.” This highlighting technique utilizes delicate, white-blonde highlights to give your hair dimension. As the name would indicate, this style was inspired by the soft highlights that you often see in children’s hair. Additionally, stylists may use this technique to represent the soft highlights that you might get if you spend a lot of time in the sun.
FOILYAGE
Foilyage is a technique that goes hand-in-hand with balayage. As we discussed earlier, balayage is a technique where the stylist will hand-paint strands of your hair so that they flawlessly transition from light to dark. Painting these strands by hand gives you a more unique look, and allows the stylist to give your hair more custom dimension and movement.
Foilyage is a technique where your stylist will hand-paint your strands just like they would with balayage. However, instead of letting your strands sit out in the open, they are wrapped up in foil. Doing so amplifies the color, making the transition more vibrant.
ROOT SHADOW
The root shadow technique utilizes a darker color at the top of your head to help seamlessly blend the roots into the lighter shade at the ends of your hair. This is ideal for those who may have had their hair dyed in the past and are tired of going in every few weeks to touch up their roots. Instead, you can choose root shadow, which will make your hair darker at the top so that it will fade naturally as your hair grows out.
COLOR MELT
Color melting is a beautiful technique that can give your hair a flawless finish. Instead of having harsh lines and contrast in your hair, your stylist can utilize the color melt technique where they blend the highlights with the base color of your hair. This results in a flawless look where you can’t even tell where your natural color stops and the highlight begins! Additionally, your stylist will use multiple different shades to create this effect instead of being limited to just one or two.
