Balayage,
A coloring method where the
highlights are swept onto the hair. First the hair is teased and
backcombed, and then the color is painted on in sections.
Unlike traditional foil highlights, which are very scientific
and accurate, the balayage method is more like the artist freely
painting on canvas. balayage highlights deliver the most natural
looking results. Within each section of hair, part of it is
teased back and only the section below is highlighted.
Therefore, when the uncolored hair rests over the treated hair,
the contrast in color creates depth and movement. Balayage is
also not as damaging to the hair as traditional highlights since
the paint stays on the hair for a shorter amount of time (about
10 minutes) and the hair cuticle is not forced open with heat.
