In translation from French, "balayage" means "revenge", "sweep". And indeed, with this coloring, the master seems to be brushing his hair, creating a natural effect of burnt-out tips on the sun. Especially beautiful balayazh looks on dark hair.
How does the balayage differ from the ombre?
These two types of staining are similar in technique and effect, but stylists usually distinguish between ombre and balaž. Unlike ombre, where you can see a clear boundary of lightening, the color in the technique of balayage is performed by vertical strokes that make it virtually invisible. Therefore, many criticize the staining of the ombre for its allegedly untidy appearance, which is hidden only by curling and stitching. But the technique balayazh suitable even for straight hair. In addition, with this coloring, only the upper layer of the hair becomes lightened, and even 2-3 colors, which means that the structure and roots are damaged much less than when staining with ombre. Melioration of hair balage in this season and does involve a sparing procedure, the code lightens only those strands that frame the face.
Types of hair coloring
Photo of a balaja on dark hair shows us the main trends in this coloring. Firstly, it is a complete balayage of the hair, when the tips are lightened all over the head. This coloration resembles an ombre, but a much more smooth and discreet stretching of the color is made, and the tips do not decolour completely, but simply lighten up into several tones.
The second type of balaža, which has already been mentioned above, is the lightening of the hair in the face. Such coloring is most careful for hair, and also suitable for those who are not completely sure that similar experiments with image will go to him. Then you can try to lighten the strands first in the face, and if the result is pleasant, then make a complete staining. Such hair coloring in the style of balage is very beneficial attracts attention to the face, softens its features and hides small skin imperfections.
And, finally, the third trend is color baling on the dark hair, when the tips are given an additional shade, however, unlike the colored ombre, this is done very carefully and the effect is more muted and elegant. This style of staining was also called a graded balage or gradient ombre.
Technique for coloring balage
The technique of this melioration is not too different from the painting of an ombre, however, it is much more difficult to create a balaj at home. It is better to turn to a good specialist who can correctly identify the strands, make the right stretching of the color, and select the shades of colors that will harmonize well with each other and with your appearance.
The main difference in the work is in the methods of working with a brush. The master makes vertical strokes by the very edge of it, as if he were sweeping his hair. This allows you to create a light, natural, almost indistinguishable border, which on each strand can be at different levels, thus creating the effect of sunburned hair. For balaža, dyes of two colors are used: one lightens the tips and the middle part of the hair, the second part tops. Sometimes, if your own shade of hair is good and so, the master can not paint the roots, but only lighten the boundaries of the transition shades. Balayage takes approximately the same amount of time as a hairdresser, as is the usual melioration or staining of ombre.
