Get sun-kissed and natural-looking highlights with balayage highlights.
When you are looking for the natural, kissed-by-sunlight look of highlights, one of the best ways to do so is with balayage highlights. Rather than using pieces of your hair that are chosen to be highlighted, balayage highlighting is a method that uses freehanded painting of the highlight material across the hair to give a cohesive and attractive look. Balayage highlights are a relatively new way of styling with color, so you might have to search a bit for a stylist who can do them and do them well in the Durham, North Carolina area.

FAQs About Balayage Highlights

HIDDEN
What makes balayage highlights different from traditional highlights?
Balayage highlights are different from traditional highlights primarily because they involve a stylist hand painting the color onto the hair instead of using foils on distinct sections of hair.
Are balayage highlights different from ombre hair?
Yes. Balayage highlights create soft and blended, natural-looking highlights where the sun would naturally hit. Ombre hair creates a horizontal transition between dark roots and lighter ends, resulting in more obvious contrast.
Does balayage always require bleach?
No, balayage highlights do not always require bleach. Some stylists can do a no-bleach balayage using a high-lift hair color that lightens the hair 2 to 4 shades lighter than the natural color. This method tends to result in warmer tones like caramel, honey, and bronze rather than platinum blond because it’s lifting the natural the hair color rather than stripping it.
How should I care for balayage highlights?
Fortunately, balayage highlights are very low maintenance, so you generally only need full touch-ups every 3 to 6 months. During your day-to-day life, you should wash your hair less frequently and use cool or lukewarm water, use color-safe products, use heat protectant, and deep condition weekly.
