What is ‘balayage’?

Balayage is a French technique, it comes from a root word “to balay” which means to sweep and it’s a sweeping motion. To balayage is a highlighting technique where you take highlighting product or some type of hair coloring and you actually free-form hair paints. You pick up a section of hair and free-form applying that product to the hair in order to give you either a lighter shade or a darker shade. Balayage is different from traditional highlighting, in that most people highlight with foil. Balayage is designed to give your hair a little bit more on natural look. More like children’s hair. When you a child’s hair and you see the streaks and the pieces coming, they’re not always the same. Sometimes they start a little closer to the root area sometimes they startled a bit further away but they’re in different sizes and different shapes. And that’s the type of highlighting you can achieve with the balayage.Meleesa here at Meleesa the Salon has been doing the art of “balayage” for years now.
