Highlighting Hair Color Trends by Expert Jack Howard
Balayage is French, and it translates as 'to sweep' or 'to paint.' In its most exact form, balayage is a freehand highlighting technique that has taken both blondes and brunettes by storm. These hand-painted color applications create a very natural-looking, personalized highlight, yet because it's so versatile, it can also help craft more intense looks depending on the desired result. A benefit of using this method is that it allows the color to grow out softly, without harsh regrowth lines.
