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.

Balayage is a low-maintenance colour technique: the soft, blended result means it grows out naturally without obvious regrowth lines. Most people return for a refresh every 3–6 months, though the colour can last longer with proper care.

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.
