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.
