Balayage: The perfect technique for radiant hair extensions
Balayage is a popular hair colouring technique that has been gaining popularity in recent years. Unlike the traditional foil highlighting technique, the balayage technique involves applying the colour to the hair freehand to create a natural and sun-kissed look. Hair Extenions can be used to create a balayage effect and can be a great way to give your hair a new look.
What is Balayage?
Balayage is a French technique derived from the word "balayer," which means "to sweep" or "to stroke." This technique involves applying hair colour to the hair in a free-hand motion. By applying the colour to specific areas of the hair, highlights and lowlights can be created, which creates a natural and sun-kissed look. Balayage can be used on both blonde and brown hair, and offers a variety of options to give your hair a new look.
Balayage and hair extensions
A balayage effect can be created using hair extensions. By mixing differently coloured extensions and placing them in a specific manner, a seamless transition can be created between the natural hair and the extensions. This can also be used to create highlights or lowlights for a more natural look.
Another way to apply balayage to hair extensions is to use the technique to change the colour of the natural hair to better match the colour of the extensions. Using balayage allows the extensions to be seamlessly integrated into the natural hair for a natural and complete look.
How is balayage done?
Balayage is best done by a professional stylist. The stylist will first carefully section the hair and then apply the colour. The stylist will apply the colour in targeted areas of the hair to create highlights and shading. After the colour is applied, it is left for a specific amount of time before being washed out. After washing, the hair is cut and styled to achieve the desired look.
