1. LIGHTEN UP FOR WARMER SEASONS

If you are looking for a bit of a hair change-up for spring and summer, balayage may be the answer to your hair prayers. Spring is the perfect time to add a natural glow and lighter tone to your hair moving into the summer months. Not only will you look like you’ve spent the early part of the year on a tropical island, but balayage grows out beautifully, leaving you free to change up your hair again if you wish. Having said this, balayage hair is not just for spring and summer. When painted with darker, warmer blonde or chocolate tones, balayage hair can move into fall and winter seamlessly.

2. GROW OUT YOUR OLD HIGHLIGHTS

Do you have old foil highlights that are growing out? Balayage is the perfect way to blend these old highlights, and grow them out, without the need to continuously re-dye and highlight your hair.

3. ADDED COLOR DIMENSION

Balayage adds beautiful colour dimension to your hair in the most natural way. If you are apprehensive about dying your hair or nervous about a dramatic change, balayage is the perfect way to meet in the middle. You know the way the sun catches the light and dark tones in your hair that you didn’t even know your hair had? Balayage does the same thing but, well, permanently. 

4. IT’S LOW MAINTENANCE

Typically, people avoid dying their hair because of the maintenance that follows to keep their hair strong and healthy and to keep the colour looking fresh. As mentioned above, because of the way balayage is freehand painted onto the hair, the dye grows out seamlessly and there are no harsh regrowth lines. This means fewer trips to the salon and less need to continuously re-dye your hair! If you invest in some quality colour care hair products, you will be all set.

5. IT’S SUITABLE FOR ALL HAIR TYPES

What we love about balayage is that works great on all hair types. Whether your hair colour is dark or light, or your hair type is wavy, straight, curly, short or long, balayage will most likely suit your hair, as long as you have the right hair colourist working the dye. If you have a great colourist, they will know exactly shades will work best for your hair colour and face shape, creating a dye job bespoke to you.

6. IT’S EASY ON THE HAIR

Because balayage highlights are placed strategically throughout the hair, you avoid the harshness of all over bleached hair. Hair lightener placed in along your hairline and around your face can instantly brighten your look and achieve a noticeable transformation, with minimal damage to your hair.

7. IT CAN MAKE FINE HAIR LOOK THICKER AND FULLER

Because of those strategically placed highlights in a variety of colours, balayage can give thin or fine hair the illusion of thickness and fullness. Not only that, since hair colour actually causes the hair shaft to expand, it physically does cause hair strands to thicken up, resulting in fuller hair overall.
