BALAYAGE
BALAYAGE
Balayage is one of the most popular hair trends this year! Balayage is a French word that means to sweep or to paint. It allows for a sun-kissed natural hair color with softer, less noticable regrowth lines. The pricipal idea being less is more when creating soft and natural looks.
This look will suit any legnth (except very short cropped hair) or color of hair. It also requires very little maintenance. This style grows out more naturally so you are less likely to see the regrowth lines. As long as you are using a color protecting shampoo and conditioner the color will hold longer. ( *Don't forget a heat protectant!*)
Healthy hair is attractive and that will never go out of fashion. Balayage gives a beautiful and healthy finish that looks glossy and expensive. It can either look natural or strong, it is all about the application technique.
Now, there is a difference bewtween the bayalage and
ombre/sombre look.
V.S. Sombre
A sombre you may see more so on blondes and it is just a softer version of an ombre style.The key to achieving the sombre is to use more colors; taking the darker hue found at the roots and subtly weaving it through the lengths of the hair to ultimately create less of an abrupt contrast from roots to ends.

Balayge V.S. Ombre
Well first Ombre is a 'Style' while Balayage is considered a 'technique'. Ombre comes from the French word shadow.Generally this style works better on brunettes because it is the least subtle. Ombre hair is usually darker at the roots through the mid-shaft and then it gradually gets lighter from mid-shaft to the ends.
