Balayage is a hair coloring technique which is designed to create a very natural-looking highlight which grows out without developing a noticeable and obvious line of demarcation at the root. When hair is colored with the balayage technique, the highlights are painted on by hand in a sweeping motion which moves from the base to the tip of the hair.Performing balayage is time consuming, and it requires a good eye and a very steady hand. However, many people feel that the end result is worth it. Unlike foiled highlights, hair which has been subjected to balayage simply looks like it has been out in the sun. The highlights can be subtle or more intense, depending on the desires of the client, and balayage isn’t just for blondes: it can also be applied to brunette and red hair.
This coloring technique emerged in Paris in the 1970s; the word “balayage” is French for “to sweep,” a reference to the way in which the color is applied. After crossing the pond to the United States, balayage became extremely popular in the late 1990s. Many stars and models use balayage on their hair.
Ombre, is actually a look which is achieved with the balayage technique. Ombre means shadow in French, referring to a darker root and lighter ends. Lately, terms like Sombre have also entered into the hair vernacular. Sombre just means softer Ombre.
