Balayage is a hair coloring technique that creates a natural, sun-kissed look. It involves hand-painting highlights onto the hair, allowing for a soft and blended effect. Unlike traditional foiling methods, balayage focuses on the surface of the hair, resulting in a more dimensional appearance. This technique can be customized to suit various hair types and colors. The term "balayage" comes from the French word meaning "to sweep," which describes the way the color is applied. This method is popular for its low-maintenance nature, as the roots grow out more naturally, requiring fewer touch-ups. Many people choose balayage for its versatility and ability to enhance their overall look.
