Balayazh is not a new word in the beauty industry. It does not duplicate ombre, Californian highlights, shatush or bronde.
Working in the balayage technique, the master dyes absolutely all the ends, that is, the hair is not passed anywhere. Balayazh translated from French means a stroke or a stroke. This reflects the way the stylist applies the paint - seemingly careless strokes, most of which are horizontal, changing the amount of coloring agent applied to the hair, so that the end result does not get streaks and "dirty" color. This, by the way, is a great job for a master to whom you entrust your hair.
The stylist applies the dye to very small strands and makes a large stretch of the color. In addition, the length of the beginning of a smooth transition to a new shade is slightly different for each strand, which visually makes the hair more voluminous.
The color begins to change around the middle of the hair length. It is important to note that while working in this technique, the stylist paints the head in several tones at once, but with a difference of no more than three tones. This guarantees smooth color transitions (as opposed to highlights) and the most natural shade of hair, as if "kissed" by the sun.
How does balayazh differ from coloring?
Masters paint in balayage, taking into account, first of all, your individual characteristics, for example, skin tone, face oval, length, density and amount of hair on the head. Here, in fact, a universal approach to the client is not practiced, each specific coloring scheme is thought out for each new client of the salon.
Why is balayazh again at the peak of popularity?
The thing is that balayage is practically unpretentious in care and does not require a lot of procedures to bring hair to its original, intact state and preserve the results of dyeing. Also, the balayazh will not betray if the beloved master went on vacation for a month or two. That is why celebrities and top models (whose images must be perfect) loved him so much, showing hair dyed using the balayage technique on the red carpet, from where he leaked to the masses. So, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Selena Gomez have long been his most devoted fans.
Balayazh undividedly pays tribute to the fashion for naturalness. The result is well-groomed shiny curls that look natural, but only better.
