Balayage, stemming from the French word: Balayer – “to sweep”, is a beautiful, freehand hair-painting technique in which your colour is handpainted to create placements for natural flows of multiple tones of colour. One of the biggest perks of this style is that 'it doesn't require as much upkeep as traditional colour. The blended finish means you can leave longer between your salon appointments, and depending on the style you go for you can leave up to four months between top-ups.
