If you’re considering a hair change that’s low maintenance yet radiant, balayage highlights may be your perfect solution. This fashionable coloring approach has taken the beauty world by storm- and for good reason. Here at Images of Princeton, we’re eager to help you achieve the look you’ve always wanted, and balayage can be a key component of your hair replacement journey.
What Is Balayage?
Balayage is French meaning “to sweep”, which ideally details the freehand painting hair stylists use to apply color. Unlike foil highlights, balayage produces a more natural, sun-kissed effect. The color mixes coherently with your hair, offering soft and effortless gradient.
Why Go With Balayage Highlights?
- Natural Looking: Balayage imitates how your hair naturally lightens in the sun. It’s ideal for those who want a subtle change.
- Low-Maintenance: Because balayage highlights don’t begin at the root, there’s no harsh regrowth line. This calls for less trips to the salon, allowing you to save both time and money.
- Versatile for Hair Types: Whether you have curly, straight, or wavy hair, balayage works gracefully on all hair lengths and textures.
- Customizable: From subtle to bold blondes, your hairstylist can tailor the balayage color to complement your personal style and your skin tone.
How to Take Care of Balayage Highlights
- Balayage is known for its effortless maintenance, but some care goes a long way in maintaining your highlights and keeping them vibrant and healthy:
- Use Gentle Hair Care Products: Use shampoos and conditioners that don’t contain harsh sulfates to help preserve your color and keep your hair moisturized.
- Apply Deep Condition Regularly: Nourish your hair weekly with masks such as It’s a 10 to prevent dehydration and preserve shine.
- Protect from Heat: It’s important to always use a heat protectant before styling your hair to make sure your balayage looks fresh and your hair continues to be healthy.
- Schedule Gloss Treatments: Scheduling a hair treatment every 6-8 weeks can restore the color and add on shine to your hair.
