Best Balayage Hair Colouring near me in Lockheed Recreation Area, Dallas

It depends on the look you’re going for. Balayage leaves hair with natural-looking, sun-kissed accents, whereas foil highlights are more structured. Both offer depth of colour.

Balayage is a hair colouring technique used by colourists to hand-paint (or sweep) dye or lightener onto the midshaft of your hair. The colour is typically a few shades lighter than your base colour, and becomes denser towards the ends of your hair. Balayage is applied without foils and results in a sun-kissed ombre effect that’s more natural than traditional foil highlights.

No, not straight away. You should wait around three days (72 hours) after a balayage treatment before washing your hair. This gives the pigments time to settle. Your colourist may advise which products you should use to keep your locks healthy and lustrous.

Balayage is a freehand hair colouring technique where colour is painted directly onto sections of hair to create a natural, sun-kissed gradient effect. Unlike foil highlights, balayage blends seamlessly with your natural colour and grows out with a soft, lived-in look.

Traditional highlights are applied using foils for uniform, precise sections of colour, while balayage is painted freehand for a more natural, blended look. Balayage tends to be more dimensional and grow out more naturally than foil highlights.
