Apart from being around for quite some time, Balayage is tremendously and steadfastly creeping its way back as one of the most popular modern hair colour requests in salons today. Balayage is arguably one of the most prominent colour trends to have graced modern salons since Holly Golightly’s highlights. With virtually all the models and A-listers wearing it, the red carpets and catwalks all over the world are full of amazing and beautiful women flaunting their incredibly made Balayage highlights. It’s because it is a positive and beautiful way of achieving that ethereal and sun-kissed look that every girl is craving for.

 

What is Balayage?

Having been developed way back in the 1970s, the Balayage is a French hair colouring technique that involves artistic freehand skills where the colour is applied by hand and free of traditional foiling or cap highlighting methods. It is a French word meaning sweep and allows for a sun-kissed natural looking hair colour with softer and less visible regrowth lines.

Even though many hair experts are quick to note that the popularity of the Balayage popularity continues into 2019 is immensely supported by its beauty on various celebrities and A-listers, its versatility is also key to its rising popularity.

Application of the Balayage

As a freehand technique with no foils used, the Balayage is best when applied on the surface to avoid saturation through the sections, which would otherwise damage the softness that is the main highlight of this exciting and viral trend. Balayage is a technique that brings out the beauty in a natural way that is devoid of visible regrowth lines. It is, therefore, a technique that requires very little maintenance and it lats for more extended periods between salon appointments. All that is needed is a colour protecting shampoo and conditioner, regular treatment and protection from heat when styling.

As a timeless hair colouring technique, Balayage is a modern, trendy and gorgeous technique that is flattering, healthy and glossy. It works incredibly well on both light and dark hair and is pretty suitable for all hair lengths apart from very short cropped hair. Balayage is an attractive hair colour technique that continues to trend and scale new heights in 2016 and will never go out of fashion. Just as it looks fabulous on various celebrities such as supermodel Gisele Bundchen, Sarah Jessica Parker, Chrissy Teigen, Erin Wasson or Julia Roberts, you too can be a part of this hair trend when done on you by hair geniuses at M&M Hair Academy.
