The art of hand-painted highlights could give you a whole new perspective on hair colour! Balayage is a French word meaning to sweep or to paint. The technique is applied by free-hand painting highlights onto the hair, creating a soft and natural gradation of lightness towards the ends. The result is the look of summers spent on the beach, or the fresh unintentional natural highlights of a child. This natural-looking highlighting technique is not just for blondes, but is used on all shades of hair to add soft, sun-kissed dimension. The true beauty of this trend is the hair continues to look fresh even as it grows out. It is no wonder balayage has become one of the most coveted requests in hair salons worldwide today.
Ombre is another French word, (all great hair comes from France!) which means "shadow.” This hair technique is achieved when the hair is coloured in a graduation from dark to light. The outcome is usually darker hair from the roots to the mid-shaft and a transition to a lighter color from the mid-shaft through to the ends. With this technique, there are no darker pieces left at the bottom of the hair. The great thing about ombre hair is that you can customize how dramatic you want it to be. You can choose to be soft and subtle with dark brown to slightly lighter brown or be loud and proud with black hair that has pink tipped ends! Be adventurous, change things up, and have fun with your look.
Highlighting/low-lighting is the tried and true classic. Pieces of hair are separated from the rest using foils that extend from the root all the way to the ends of the hair. This look creates a beautiful uniform colour change with lots of dimension. Highlights will make the hair appear fuller and is also an excellent solution to camouflaging natural grey. Why change your all-over hair color when some strategically placed highlights can easily transform your look?
There are so many dreamy brunette hair colours rocking our world; from rich mahoganies to soft smokey browns. All of which can easily be achieved without compromising your hairs integrity! No hair can match the beautiful shine of a freshly coloured brunette. Today, it’s all about looking sleek, modern, and effortless with hair colour that evokes a sense of luxury and sophistication.
