And modern methods of hair coloring are very diverse, they help to achieve various effects, while the effect of paints will be very gentle. Well, for those who do not want to change their hair color radically, the “balayage” hair coloring technique will be suitable.
A little about the technique of “balayage”
The name, of course, of this technique is original, but there is nothing supernatural here. Balayazh is a French word that in translation sounds like “free brush”. Now this word is called a special way of dyeing hair. Thanks to the “Balayage” technique, the hair is given the most natural look due to the contrasting coloring of the ends of the hair in relation to the base color. Coloring can be done not only in two colors, if you need a smoother transition from one shade to another, the master can use three colors.
Paint with balayage is applied far from the roots of the hair in separate strands. Due to the fact that the paint is not applied to the roots, the hair will look more natural and well-groomed after dyeing and even after it grows back. When the master paints with this method, brush strokes are carried out horizontally. Vertically, painting is carried out only with the tip of the brush, and only along the top layer of hair. With this coloring, you do not need to go to the hairdresser too often to update the color, just a few visits a year are enough.
These coloring styles have been around for more than five years and are still an integral part of many stars. But the ideas of such coloring are changing. If earlier balayazh was done more naturally with a smooth and soft transition, then recently there has been a tendency to use brighter effects and sharp contrast transitions, and the execution technique has risen to a higher level.
Applying balayage on dark hair
Balayazh looks gorgeous on hair of any length. However, it will look truly impressive on long curled strands. Thanks to the play with light and color, the curls will look healthier, more voluminous and flowing.
The ideal basis for classic balayage is natural dark hair. It is dark hair that allows the master to make the most of his imagination, using both light colors and unimaginably bright shades on them. In contrast, if gray or dull hair is taken as the basis, then initially it is necessary to use tinting or dyeing in order to bring the hair color as close to natural as possible.
