Balayage Color Correction
Balayage hair coloring techniques create a natural-looking lightened effect with soft hues of color that appears lightened over time, often described as undone beachy or surfer girl style hair.
Traditional foil highlights require more frequent maintenance. With micro highlights, however, maintenance may be reduced significantly with only needing touchups every six weeks necessary for keeping them looking natural. Achieving the appropriate shade may take an hour or longer.
Detox Your Hair
Balayage is an in-demand hair treatment, creating a sun-kissed effect by adding highlights throughout your strands. Plus, this low maintenance method lasts 3-4 months before needing touch up appointments at a salon.
As with traditional hair coloring methods, balayage still contains chemicals which could potentially harm your locks. Therefore, it is crucial that before receiving this treatment it be detoxed in order to minimize side effects like brassiness, yellowing or uneven tone from occurring.
When dealing with brassy highlights, try using a cool violet shade on the other end of the color wheel from yellow. To offset any brassiness or warmth caused by brassy highlights, try using a cool violet hue on its opposite end to neutralize any brassiness or warmth that may exist in your hair color. Furthermore, consider using a clarifying shampoo that removes buildup that causes hair damage and dullness before following up with hydrating conditioner to prevent your locks from drying out and becoming dry and brittle.
Prep Your Hair
Balayage is an effective way to add natural-looking highlights to your hair without going under the knife, with less intensity than ombre and greater customization for individual styles. Because balayage requires less touch-up appointments due to its more subtle approach.

Prepare Your Hair for the Process
Balayage highlights are an innovative freehand technique in which your stylist brushes lightener onto lightened areas with a brush to achieve soft multidimensional highlights that blend into the hair more naturally than other methods of highlight application.
Balayage offers less damage to the hair due to stylists not applying bleach to every strand, unlike in double-process. This makes balayage ideal if your locks have thick or coarse locks.
Unfortunately, however, this process can take much longer to reach your desired outcome than you might anticipate. For instance, to achieve sun-kissed blonde balayage hair color may require multiple salon visits annually to achieve consistency of look. To reduce maintenance needs we advise using sulfate-free shampoo and conditioning treatments while avoiding heat styling your locks; washing it in tepid water only when washing hair for washing and use protective spray or oil as additional safeguards against damage.
