What does Balayage mean?

Balayage is a popular hair colouring technique that has become increasingly popular in recent years.

But what exactly does Balayage mean?

Balayage is a French term that translates to "sweeping". With this technique, the colour is not applied evenly from the roots to the tips as with traditional highlights. Instead, the colour is applied in a freehand manner with a brush to create subtle colour gradients and highlights. The result is a natural, sun-kissed look that is especially popular on blonde or light brown hair.

Unlike other colouring techniques such as the ombre look, where the colour runs in a defined area, balayage can be adjusted in any shape and intensity. The colour can be applied in different ways to accentuate the hair or to create a more striking look. Balayage is therefore a very flexible technique and can be adapted according to taste and hair type.

Another advantage of balayage is that it is a gentle colouring technique. Since the colour is not applied all the way to the roots, the hair is less stressed than with traditional colouring methods. Also, the colour gradients are very subtle, which means there are no harsh lines and the hair looks soft and natural.
