Balayage

Balayage is a French word which means to paint or sweep; basically, it is not a specific color itself but a unique colour application technique. Balayage hair color technique is used to achieve a naturally blended, lightened look. While we typically associate this process with becoming blonde, the same method can be applied to create espresso, caramel, or even pastel strands. In other words, if you want a sun-kissed and multi-tonal result, then the Balayage technique is right for you.

Balayage is a beautifully blended highlighting process that grows lighter towards the ends of the hair. There are different types of balayage, including color melting and root stretching.
